GDT: Game #3: Chicago Blackhawks @ St. Louis Blues (10/09/13, 7:00PM)

[Captain Creampuff]

Schwartz always taking 2 guys out of the play

 

[Robb_K]

Dumb penalty by LaPierre. He HAD to know he'd get called for that.

And The Hawks score right off the face-off. I didn't even have time to mention that I hope that The Blues won't fall back to their old habit of giving up a cheap goal soon after as was their habit as a team without killer instinct of a winner.

I had hoped that THIS year's best Blues team would get rid of those bad habits and be a big winner with knockout killer instinct.

Late in a period got no problem with that shot by Bergy.

Whats with the purple ads on the boards?

This has been an entertaining period. The Hawks are playing hard, and skilled teams that play hard are formidable. Blues playing hard too, one egregious brain fart. Blues didn't really get it going till the second half of the period. Hawks had some reat chances in the first half of the period and Halak was as strong as I've seen him.

 

[Alklha]

I guess that cheer was the Cardinals score going up on the screen...

Shot by Sharp? When did we acquire Sharp, Doc?

Hockey Fights Cancer.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

I like the Morrow-Roy-Stewart line a lot

 

[illninofan*]

On a positive note, Schwartz is *****ing awesome.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Blues have dominated the second half of the period. Good to see.

I absolutely love Jaden Schwartz.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Good pace to the game, I hope it stays this way all game.

 

[Blanick]

I am loving this 9-21-91 line.

 

[Thallis]

Whats with the purple ads on the boards?

Guessing it's pink for breast cancer. I really hope they stop supporting Susan G Komen soon if they haven't already.

 

[superblues]

Hockey Fights Cancer.

OT question: if the NHL eventually bans fighting, won't the name of this promotion need to change?

 

[Alklha]

The Schwartz line looks great every shift out there. Wouldn't say we dominated the second half of the period, but we were certainly the better team. Only worries are stupid penalties, the Jax-Polák pairing and Shattenkirk isn't having a good game.

I didn't think the NHL did anything w/ Susan G Komen. What do you have against Komen?

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Did I just see Tarasenko say "**** yeah!" after he scored? lol

Probably. He's learning English in an NHL locker-room....

Did everybody jump over to the Cards game during the intermission? [/crickets]

 

[Lord Helix]

Did everybody jump over to the Cards game during the intermission?

Yep. That diving catch was an inning changer.

 

[BlueDream]

Defense pairings still need to be switched, no surprise.

Fun game though. Schwartz-Berglund-Tarasenko are great, and I think Morrow-Roy-Stewart look really good together too.

C'mon boys, keep applying pressure. They got better as the period went on I think.

 

[superblues]

Yep. That diving catch was an inning changer.

As a former outfielder, it was a beautiful catch though.

 

[Thallis]

I didn't think the NHL did anything w/ Susan G Komen. What do you have against Komen?

The Blues had done race for the cure for a while. The problem with Komen is that very little of the money they make goes to cancer research, the majority is pocketed under the pretense that they're spreading awareness.
