GDT: Game #15: Buffalo Sabres @ St. Louis Blues | Full Assed Edition

[Mike Liut]

Speaking of money, its gonna be hard to keep all these guys. Trades will be key down the road. Keep the 5 core guys and make some great trades to support them and the Blues can stay at a high level, but no need to worry about that right now, now sure why I even brought it up.

Tough decisions down the road. I would let Jax walk and trade Berglund for starters.

Agreed. Leopold will walk too, obvi. Trading Oshie may have to happen as well. If they can keep that top six somewhat together with Petro and Shatty, they will be competitive at the least.

 

[LGB51]

You can say that about anybody on the Blues not name Schwartz, Tarasenko, Lehtera, Allen and Elliott

You forgot Shattenkirk and Gunnarsson, but otherwise you are correct.

 

[LGB51]

On a side note who would've thought Tarasenko would get to 10 assists for 10 goals reached. 9G 10A 15 GP Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

[Meatball]

Of the "old core" only Backes and Steen are safe. Everyone else is trade bait.

 

[2 Minute Minor]

Of course I kinda like Optimus as well, too bad Megatron is already taken from the awesome cartoon robot nickname board.

Ookla the Moc

 

[LGB51]

This is a very good time to get other players going.

Okay, I just think Frank deserved more of a opportunity to post one, after all, he is the one who got speared.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

do we have a cool nickname for Lehtera yet?

How about Snufkin?

 

[LGB51]

Jax is already a third of the way to his regular season point total from last year.

[LGB51]

Not a bad way of looking at it. Wasn't everyone before the season beating the "only the playoffs matter drum?" Yes, I understand, it's important to play well and develop a rhythm in the regular season. And believe me, there's a lot of players that need to step it up at some point. But if they stay near the top of the division BEFORE finding their game then that says a lot about the talent on the roster.

I posted the same thing after the Nashville game, a lot of folks need to breath. Don't care about winning every game, just make the playoffs with enough in the tank for another gear. And rest players as needed to remain as healthy as possible, for the PO run. That's all I care about.

 

[LGB51]

I didn't hear his name till the 3rd

His name was mentioned quite a bit in the first minute of play, and he was all over the play then. Guess he just gave up the hustle after that lol, sounds familiar.

 

[LGB51]

:yori:

God Jori is awesome dude cracks me up

 

[tfriede2]

:yori:

Ha - each wearing the same shirt, but different color of blue...not sure why that's funny to me, but it is.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I guess we will be getting more full ass for the next game then yes?

 

[EastonBlues22]

The one time we could really use Multimoodia's unique talents, he takes a game off.

We'll have to put him to work on a Lehtera nickname later.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Also the irony that, while facing the Buffalo Sabres, Brian Elliott got a Ryan Miller shutout was not lost on me.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

So who else here was surprised how hard Lindstrom's shot was?

I've always liked his style of play and it looks like he finally belongs in the NHL. But man, that last shot was Tarasenko-esque.

[sparkycircuit]

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't my new favorite gif.

 

[BlueDream]

I just watched the highlights, saw Tarasenko's assist on Lehtera's first goal. Hahaha. The chemistry those two have is absolutely unreal.

Man I love Lehtera. What a line.

[LGB51]

Should read "Yeah, they be haten" but that's awesome too lol. Wish I knew how to add words to pics like that.
