GDT: Game #2: St. Louis Blues vs. Calgary Flames // Back to Basics Edition

[Celtic Note]

Cole has really excelled tonight.

 

[Ranksu]

I think this team is much better this year too.

I can't wait to play teams like Chicago and LA to gauge how much better we got. I honestly can't wait for the game in Chicago since we always seem to lose there.

I truly want to see big body team like LA + Anaheim and how Jocke+Jori can take hard physical team and mostly how Jori can handle and give some back.

 

[KirkOut]

Our breakout and transition game have been top notch tonight

 

[Mike Liut]

Of coarse everything looks better tonight.... They are playing Calgary, probably a bottom 5 team

 

[STL BLUES]

Hold on for dear life Jackman!

 

[Jzk]

Also the rangers straight up turtled and played the counter game after they got 1 goal.

 

[KirkOut]

that was goofy looking

 

[The Grouch]

This thread has really slowed down. I wonder if some people bailed to watch the Cardinals?

 

[STL BLUES]

Ouch!!! Cut his chin!

 

[Overkamp]

What in the world was Backlund doing? Golly.

I've been switching back and forth.

Win number one on the season! Looking much better (even if it was the Flames).

 

[EastonBlues22]

Not much left to say. Much sharper play all around.

Good win.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Good game by the Blues tonight!

Damn Philly blew a three goal lead and cost me my proline ticket

 

[Robb_K]

Good, solid home win (admittedly against a weak team). I'll take it. Most of the players looked good. The new players are integrating in.

 

[Jzk]

Well that was a good game overall. Sucks we gotta wait 5 days for the next game.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Ott looked light years better tonight. Probably easier to do though when you're with Backes an Oshie. Shatty was fantastic as well.

Stastny's little stutter step and cut to the middle move devastating.

 

[WalterSobchak]

Also the rangers straight up turtled and played the counter game after they got 1 goal.

to be fair it was with minutes left in the game, 29 other teams would most likely turtle as well.

I think he means early on.

 

[TheDizee]

good game by the note

Lehtera, Lindstom all getting more PP time than Schwartz? ha what a laugher

No, he missed the first ten days of camp and only played in two preseason games. The fact that we have new coaches handling the special teams and a revamped PP has everything to do with it. He will slide back into his original spot probably starting Thursday in LA.

Stastny looks great. Should have drafted him back in the day. I was pissed when we passed.

 

[Meatball]

Only got to watch the first before I had to go to work, but a much better effort from the guys tonight. Part of it, for sure, is that we were playing Calgary. I can't wait to see how this team fairs against a Kings team that has tormented us the past few seasons.

Still keeping my eye on Hitch to see how he runs the team during that game. He's made a few decisions thus far that have made me cringe.

It's only been two games, but what I've seen from the new additions I like the way they look with this team.

We all thought this would be the deepest team The Blues have ever iced and I would say it sure looks to be true.

Now is it built for the playoffs, we only have 80 more games before we know.
