Half-Assed GDT: GDT: hour before the game edition

[Ranksu]

Rumor is that we can get this if we trade our entire core:

I think we get this one. I've heard it has potential to be franchise player.

 

[Ranksu]

I thought you were going to bed?

okey im out now

 

[Ted Hoffman]

We need to mount one of these on the back of our net:

At this rate, I'd rather save the money and get the goalies and defense sunscreen so they don't get burnt by the goal light going off so much.

 

[TruBlu]

We are the worst team in divisional play. We need to tank. We aren't doing anything this year.

 

[TruBlu]

okey im out now

Shhhhhhhhhh. Just go to bed.

 

[hullderko]

I hope to never see another Andy Strickland interview.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

What's more embarrassing, getting shutout by the Blackhawks to end their 8 game losing streak, getting shutout by the worst team in the league LA kings or watching Laine score 5 goals against?

There's a light at the end of the tunnel. I had season tickets back in the 05-07 seasons, when the Blues were even worse than they are now. So few fans were coming to the games that the ushers wouldn't check tickets, so you could buy the $15 seats and still sit on the glass. Plus, on the nationally televised games the owners did not want to show empty seats on TV so they had free food at the stadium.

Great times, and I got a lot of use out of my stable of non-Blues hockey jerseys. Silver linings folks.

Berube:--summary is we were horrible defensively...came out flat...no sticks in lanes..."we were there but we weren't there."

When asked about one of the players saying that they weren't talking enough, Berube said (paraphrasing) "I would expect them to say that because, when you are playing poorly, you stop talking."

 

[hullderko]

"...came out flat" on home ice again. Who could have expected that?

Why are you here again?

Last night, he said "You have to play hard. Everyone works hard but you need to play hard." I enjoy his interviews.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Army...

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Why are you here again?

The free chips and salsa in the back. Plus, the mood lighting is a nice shade of chartreuse, periwinkle, and mauve.

Let's talk about the game.....


The good:
People who had Laine on their fantasy team. In my league 24.5 pts he scored (I don't have him of course).

The bad:
Blues, D zone coverage, officiating, goaltending (on a few goals was bad)

I'm still lost on the officiating. How the world was nothing called on Sanford play??? Clear as day penalty and nothing.

officiating was a large factor in this game getting out of hand. bad stuff from them tonight, along with our D play and Johnson being awful

On my way home. Just saw the score. Hoo boy. This going to be an interesting read .

I know officiating was god awful tonight and did have a huge effect on the game. I rarely ever get upset at it, but it was awful.

You can't miss that call on Sanford EVER.

Ehlers was huge embellishment. Or you send both on for 2.

Dunn call was rough too.

The one with tarasenko getting knocked over before the puck was there on a scoring chance.

This was honestly one of the worst officiating that I can remember ever.

 

[GoldenSeal]

Does God hate the Blues? 5 goals from a single player? Oy!

This is one of those games you just have to accept the absurd with and just move along. Was more a cartoon than a real NHL game.

game started to get out of hand after 91 got called for "roughing" after the jets player made a questionable charge on him.

i dont think a call should have been made there period on either team but if was going to be called, the jets player did charge him slightly. its pathetic how bad these officials can really be

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Now what? Lol. Lose for Hughes I guess.

In that case, it is either no call or 4 on 4. Can't just call one. But I rarely ever blame officiating for affecting a game, but tonight was one of the few time it had direct impact on the game.

ya who knows who would have won tonight if refs wernt a joke because neither teams goalie was very good. i would put my money on the jets still but whatever.

ive seen worse screwjob games from them. i wouldnt even call this game a screwjob, would just call it a very poorly officiated game from em. the jets were diving or trying to exaggerate calls and the refs fell for em quite a bit. surprised eddy or whoever had that knee on kneeish hit on ehlers didnt get thrown out because he acted like he got shot, but surprise surprise was "magically" fine 2 minutes later.

 

[roccerfeller]

This.

I still think it’s wild though that our games against each other tend to be intense, competitive games, yet we still root for the Jets against any other team.

You'll never meet a Jets fan who says "I absolutely hate the Blues"

It's always "man I love playing the Blues, they are exciting games"

There's also a history between Winnipeg hockey fans and the Blues...a lot of Jets 2.0 fans who cheered on the Blues during the 15 year gap of no NHL, and on top of that there's many connections between Winnipeg and the Blues club, from the city to people who have strong ties to both Winnipeg and St Louis (one example: Steen) as well Jets 1.0 and Blues connections as well

Plenty of Jets fans hate the Preds though...for the pretty much the exact same reasons BlueDream mentioned
