GDT: Islanders @ Blues

hahaha

Halak isn't a good goalie.

he's a streaky goalie. he can be fantastic and he can be god-awful. The Blues invested in him after a hot play-offs. I was okay with the trade, I hated the signing.

Elliott is the same kind of streaky though, so.....I don't know if we have what it takes unless the stars align and one of our goaltenders is hot come play-off time

 

[Lord Helix]

Schwartz doesn't suck.

 

[BigB]

So like... A shame it wasn't Steen.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Backes sucks, Tarasenko sucks, Schwartz sucks. EVERYBODY SUCKS!

Ahahahaha I can't believe that just happened. Schwartz one handed from the blue line!

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Good for Schwartz

 

[Alklha]

That's goal of the night just for Tavares sliding into the net

 

[Robb_K]

AGAIN, The Blues let down, after getting a 3-goal lead. They've got to find a way to stop relaxing and keep the gas on full till it's over.

An empty-netter by Schwartz helps. But they need to learn that lesson.

 

[WalterSobchak]

how was that goal allowed since it was clearly a handpass? okposo didnt glove that down to himself, he swatted it down

to himself. if it had gone to another player, you might have a case.

Jax goin for the Gordie Howe hattie

Elliott isn't nearly as streaky as Halak though. Even in his poor Ames he still usually gives you a chance to win. It's not often that Elliott loses games on his own like Halak did tonight.

Why the hate for Halak here?

If I wanted to watch a hug fest, I'd ask my wife to cuddle.

I'm not a cuddly person.

Games like this when he was here. Would be great sometimes, then just give up those weak shots over his shoulder :/

 

[Captain Creampuff]

That stupid look on Halak's face.

 

[danglzzz]

Why the hate for Halak here?

Hate? We love him right now

He's rarely fantastic. He's just not very good and easy to beat. No wonder he didn't want to face the Blues last season.

Nice win.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I'm two for two tonight.

I've got the next half-assed GDT guys!

argumentative but I'll concede the point. Halak is more of a headcase and has on a number of occasions beat himself. Elliott is a competitor and never seems to quit.

 

[Robb_K]

So like... A shame it wasn't Steen.

Steen had his chance for the hat trick, with a trailer pass to come in on goal with almost 3/4 of the net empty, and he shot it wide. Usually he makes no mistake in that close with no one on him.

 

[WalterSobchak]

Why the hate for Halak here?

if you had spent the past 4 seasons waiting for Halak to take the reigns, you would understand.

 

[TheDizee]

good win but man the 2nd period leads going away is not good

 

[kagei]

Could barely see the salute to the fans from that shot so far away

 

[Dbrownss]

TJ is such a happy person
