Now just flatten someone

Now just flatten someone

Did you forget which team you're watching?

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Can't blame the effort, just something missing a little tonight.

 

[XX]

They have outplayed the Blues at ES in pretty much every game but some individual efforts from ROR and Faulk in particular are the difference.

 

[Heldig]

Anyone with a gif of the cheap shot from the bench? Deserving of a suspension?

I agree, I don’t think the blues are close to what they were the past two years. You can actually see the lack of pietrangelo

Another game I am not pissed off about. Thats five straight of good compete and we didnt look like shit. Hopefully tomorrow is the same just a different outcome.

 

[Muppet]

I thought St. Louis made an effort to nullify Dvo tonight and they did it well, barely heard his name.

 

[WrinkledPossum]

Well we played well. We look just as good as the Blues which is great to see.

That GWG was annoying. OEL and Goligoski got too aggressive on the rush. Looked bad as soon as OEL jumped in then looked like he was hooked/interfered with coming back.

Chaos in the D zone with two forwards playing D then trying to get back into structure.

 

[BigJCaRoach]

Maybe the most frustrated at officials I’ve been.


I thought schmaltz played poorly putting himself out of position at times and getting too cute with his passes


I thought bush played very well in person as did oyster

overall we played well

I’d love to have a minute of those referees time

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Not a bad game overall. If lybushkin waited just a half second longer before entering the zone so Fischer would be onside this would’ve probably had a different result.

This would have been a great game to get some offense from guys like Brassard/Kessel but at least the 4th line chipped in I guess

 

[Sm00chy]

Very strong game by both teams. Highly entertaining hockey game.

Not terribly upset about the result. I thought both teams executed their game plans well which resulted in a game that could’ve gone either way.

Still love watching that top line. Serious threat to score almost every shift it seems. If they can maintain this play all year I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Yotes fighting for the #3 seed.

I agree, and let's not forget they caught lightening in the bottle the year they won the cup. They are a good team, but not a great team.

I thought I had seen that Bortuzzo move before...the Reverse Bortuzzo @ 1:39

 

[rt]

Goligoski looked more alive in this game than at any point this season. He did f*** up bad a couple of times (one shift in particular) but I think maybe the Demers benching woke him up a little. Getting health bombed in a contract year is not great for negotiations when you’re in your 30s.

[MIGs Dog]

I thought this might happen. are they going to look at Bortuzzo too? Probably not. NHL Player Safety excels at inconsistency. Larsson's hit was inadvertent in that he didn't target the head. Bortuzzo's was not.

Blues fans were not happy that this hit that injured Bortuzzo in January was not reviewed, and I agree. The Colorado player comes up high with his shoulder and makes contact with the head. Bortuzzo was injured...missed games. Why no review?

I thought he was dismal.

Arizona Coyotes forward Johan Larsson has been suspended two games for an illegal check to the head of St. Louis Blues forward Zach Sanford.

Yeah, I don't think that's very fair. Accidental.

 

[TheLegend]

Whoa !!! Craig!!!

Ah, yes. The new NHL where you are free to whack a player in the face with your stick from the bench as he skates by, but a larger player skating into you with his head will get you suspended.

 

[technoviking]

They're not even looking at that bench play are they?

 

[Prarievarg]

Whoa !!! Craig!!!

Haha I love this. Craig
