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

[Ranksu]

I call you Thomas and Tarasenko!

Camaa Tarrrsenko

I Still call you Thomas!

World class play by Tarasenko there.

This Brossoit character is brutal.

 

[Bluenatic]

Nah...More of a jab at some of the attitude around here lately.

Gotcha that's not my take. I think this team can do great things

 

[Mike Liut]

Jets are so good at getting a guy open in the slot for one timers. So Brett Hull like. Wish we’d do that

Tarasenko should thrive there, but he doesn’t

 

[TruBlu]

This board would be ready to hang Allen if he was the goalie right now. 2 goals on 7 shots. The reality is that bad defense leads to goals. It helps to have talent like they have, too.

he doesn't have a really great one-timer

At the game right now and I TOTALLY guessed perron for the first goal but some other jerk got selected for the autographed puck

 

[Lord Helix]

I don't know if it's not a great tool of his (especially relative to that of the team) or if it's underutilized.

Wrist shots can work too if you release them quick enough.

 

[TruBlu]

But who will take him?

No one. He'll be gone at the end of the season. It's just a horrible feeling watching him. I'm nervous the whole time he's on the ice.

That's because someone hates you and thinks you're fat.

[Going to put that in blue for full sarcasm indicator.]

I wouldnt say theyd be wrong.
The perron goal was pretty weak. It came off turnover but the defender was already chasing perron down and he had to rush it from just inside blueline and it wasnt a rocket or anything. A shot like that shoildnt go in from that far out.

Although a bad turnover, it was good hustle by defender to force perron to get rid of it early but goalie let in soft one.

 

[Bluenatic]

I definitely think JBo is done, more due to his decision making, but damn if he's not one of the unluckiest guy.

 

[Borderbluesfan]

I’m thinking JBo is done, physically he just can’t keep up.

 

[Dbrownss]

I think it's all confidence. When actually connects, it's a bomb of a shot...




So I just got home....how do they look? Still bullying the other team?

Maybe we should put jbo on the powerplay and slot him near net to see if we can capture the magic of opposing teams strategy of shooting the puck off jbo and it will magically find net.

Perron was about four feet above the top of the circle when he let the shot go, but it's still one the goalie isn't going to feel good about letting in.

I see you picked up on what I did there.

More like they held on, looked a little flat!! Still hitting and closing the gaps, but they need to come out a little stronger in the 2nd!!

Please leave out Allen out of discussion when he isn't playing and stop defending him all the time. Its like broken record.

We're obviously not upset that it's the other goalie giving up softies, so the point you're trying to make doesn't really make sense. Also, this is their backup giving them up.

 

[Borderbluesfan]

But, the Blues are playing a better game than they were a week ago!! Even losing Wednesday, we didn’t look as bad as we did earlier this season!!

I was doing an olley off of another post, but I agree.
