elliott too deep in his net again

He couldn't come out at all, there was upwards of 1200 lbs standing in and around the crease.

the crease is his domain, come out and if they interfere with you the refs should call it. he was backed up on the goal line, as usual. outside of the leaf and avs game hes been pretty meh since returning

That's the third time they've said Brian Sutter was the blues all time games leader

His own teammates are the ones closer to him, so that wouldn't happen.

Elliott didn't shapeshift into a 4x6 block of concrete, so that goal was his fault

The Ott-Goc-Reaves line continues to excel. They've got to be the best 4th Line in The NHL (currently (temporarily-I hope) The Blues' 3rd Line).

Sounds about right LOL

Ells is a backup goalie. Dosent suck, but doesnt save many sitters either except on shootouts. Aint many of those in the POs

 

[PitchDoug]

Elliott! Meh .

 

[EastonBlues22]

These last 5 minutes are going to be tense.

No idea how nobody has corrected them yet.

 

[Robb_K]

Nice save by Elliott!

 

[The Grouch]

I don't have any data, but it seems like the Blues' possession drops below their average in the final 10 minutes of a game. A prevent-like defensive mentality that doesn't seem effective, or at least not as effective as the previous 50 minutes.

 

[TheDizee]

this is where being down so many people is going to come into play

 

[Blanick]

Pretty solid PK here..... oh wait

 

[Lord Helix]

These last 5 minutes are going to be tense.

Yep. Their defense has been willing to jump up for awhile now, so I can only imagine how going into turtle mode will be against a really active/chance-taking team.

Ott is their best stats guy and he's not getting the broadcast.

 

[Blanick]

Bad Icing. real bad icing

 

[izzy]

That icing could be deadly.

 

[Ranksu]

Where is Shattery, I have totally missed that one?

 

[PitchDoug]

No unforced error icing. No penalties. This will be a long 2:41. Good timeout

 

[The Grouch]

Where is Shattery, I have totally missed that one?

Out... Lower body injury.

 

[TheDizee]

Where is Shattery, I have totally missed that one?

think he got hit in the head by ovechkin

 

[Twisted Blue]

Where is Shattery, I have totally missed that one?

Injured, lower body.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Another horrible play by Bouwmeester. Fumbled a routine D to D with no pressure, then iced it at the end of a long shift.
