GDT: Game #15: Blues @ Coyotes - 2PM - FSA, NHLN - The Breaking Up Is Hard To Do Edition

[MayDayMayDay]

Cue up Panama! Big win boys!

 

[Muppet]

Darcy doesn't even look like he played. Must have smashed the smelling salts before the interview.

 

[Tom Polakis]

Lack of calls on you guys. Multiple Blues tackled with no call.

Specifically there was a high stick that they missed, so Berube was justified there. GTFO with "multiple" calls and "tackled," though.

The were missed calls on both sides. The refs were letting them play.

 

[Muppet]

The officiating was terrible all series, but the bad calls were shared fairly evenly. I understand that losing to the lowly Coyotes must be an anger inducing situation, but the amount of salt spilling out of the Blues forum is cringe.

 

[Name Nameless]

So, who is in goal today? I feel this game is gonna be an ugly, ugly loss. I want to say right now I won't blame it on the goalie.

How I love to be wrong!

Also, wasn't nervous for a second the last 10 minutes.
And if you believe that, I has some fantastic beach-property on the Moon you can buy, really good price.

 

[Grimes]

Well that was fun. Beating Minnesota will be key now.

Right before ROR’s high stick, Perron got tackled with no call.

I agree it was bad all around. Can’t be too upset though we’re playing without a lot of key guys right now.

Blues GDT is hilarious, brilliant OP and lots of whining

 

[Muppet]

I agree it was bad all around

They even changed refs/linesmen a few games ago and it was still awful. League wide issue right now, maybe the refs needed the preseason more than the players

I think there’s a lot of frustration for a lot of reasons. Biggest issue is health. Decimated by injuries in the early going. Plus our best player hasn’t even played a game yet.

 

[_Del_]

I think the thing that concerns me the most from this series is that the Blues should dominate a team like Arizona physically win or lose, and that didn't appear to be the case to me.

Thanks, Bill!

while we understand where you’re coming from, you really are preaching to the choir here. Take a look at our last three seasons regarding injury. With that said, no hatred from our side. I think officiating lost us both some games.

Oh no doubt. Happens to everyone. Good luck the rest of the way!

 

[RABBIT]

Agreed, likewise

 

[BigJCaRoach]

Officials awful all 7 games for/against both teams.

 

[MIGs Dog]

At the moment we are third in the division, or am i wrong?

On a point percentage basis we are in 5th. Some teams, like Minny, have been on extended vacation.

I'm quite happy with this considering 11 of our 15 games have been against Vegas and St. Louis.

 

[XX]

4-2-1 vs. the Blues. Who woulda thunk?

They were pretty depleted in terms of injuries but it's a good sign.

 

[SealsFan4Life]

This is just a preview of the rivalry these two teams are gonna have starting next season when they are in the same division cause of Seattle entering.
And i can't wait for it. I kinda wish they would play the final game this season tomorrow since it is in Arizona. oh well. can't have everything.
great series. now we welcome L.A. on thurs.

 

[PainForShane]

Thanks, Bill!

THIS.

Just finished watching the replay. If I ever see / meet Bill Armstrong in real life I am going to buy him the most expensive bottle of wine I can find (or whatever it is he drinks, probably worth finding out first). He must be loving the fact that his new team beat his old team in a seven game series.

Thanks STL for letting us hire your Assistant GM. Talk about a difference maker

 

[Canis Latrans]

Good series. I hope this served as a series for them and they learn how to ramp up the intensity. Getting beaten down last year to the Avalanche may have shown them how far yet they need to go, but taking this series against a similar status contender should give them confidence that they are on the right path. In a way it's kind of nice the schedule aligned like this and they get to cheat having a playoff series and experience.

Ya know, he hasn't had a chance to build HIS team yet. This next FA season will be very interesting to see what he does with 10 or so openings and cap space to work with.

But will he have actual money?? I can't imagine the Owner is doing well financially these days.
