GDT: Panthers @ Blues Bully Edition

[WalterSobchak]

He does, but it's still difficult to defend without one. Shattenkirk never even looked behind him.

difficult but of almost all of the Blues forwards, I trust Oshie to be able to do it. it's 50/50 whether it would have made a difference, for sure.

Open 3rd start poll, so I can go sleep.

Florida is actually a fairly decent team this year. I don't understand the constant downplaying of them.

It seems like some posters are also forgetting that we're playing our 3rd string goalie, missing 2 of our top 4 defensemen, and without Steen/Backes as well.

Maybe they ascribe that that "no excuses" philosophy, but personally I don't understand why anyone would expect the team to play/look the same when you're missing those pieces. Certainly that goes a long way toward leveling the playing field between a theoretical Cup contender and another potential playoff team.

Publicity stunt rating: Success

 

[PeterAngelo]

If it wasn't for the fact that it would look smug I would go over to the Panthers board and commend them on their team. What a hard performing, fun team they have.

 

[danglzzz]

I bet Marty's first star haha

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Oshie is a good defensive coverage player and physical. He could have easily muscled Ekblad off of the puck, gotten in the way of the shot or at the very least made it difficult of the rookie.

It's all a judgement call and hindsight makes it an easy call, I think with Florida pressing as hard as they were, it was just the wrong decision on this part - no matter the result.

I wouldn't say he could easily outmuscle Ekblad. That kid is huge. He's got 4 inches and probably 30 pounds on Oshie.

 

[Note Worthy]

I guess without counting playoffs. He scored against chicago


Well. Thanks to Marty we squeaked out another piss poor effort

First period was good. I hope we don't start a trend of coming out flying and then gassing out after the first period.

 

[LGB51]

Well at least Frank got his 30th point of the season, and we won, Marty 2-1 now! I saw the replay on that second one, the skate did get caught on the net, or that stack would have stopped Ekblah's shot easily. Should have been a 4-1 final. That score though if it did happen would not be indicative at all of how the Blues played in this game.

 

[Robb_K]

Another $20,000 for Marty!

I wish I'D have been paid that much per game. Especially with how much The Canadian Dollar was worth back in the '50s and early '60s. I'd have an easy life now, instead of having to work at 69.

We have tippage!

Matty...We need a report on the impending implosion.

Fairly certain we're all going to burst into flames within the next couple minutes.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

So...I guess that Marty guy was ok tonight huh?

Meh...

 

[Mike Liut]

Impressed by the Panthers. Hope they make the playoffs.

I feel the same way. This loss has to be a tough pill to swallow for them. They played better and deserved at least a point.

Them's the breaks, though.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

I bet Marty's first star haha

He deserves it.

 

[PeterAngelo]

So...I guess that Marty guy was ok tonight huh?

Didn't even notice him out there

Very glad that Schwartz got a point on that empty netter, felt he deserved one.

Yeah, no reading between the lines there.

Because we have these bad stretches even when fully healthy.

 

[kagei]

The Panthers still scored more goals than the Blues. Lucky win but I'll take it.

 

[stlblues23*]

Marty!!!

 

[Dbrownss]

First period was good. I hope we don't start a trend of coming out flying and then gassing out after the first period.

I seriously think the constant posts and Luo standing on his head deflated them. Panthers pushed hard, I'm seriously impressed by their team.

 

[Xirik]

As guy who's favorite player and role model is Martin Brodeur I really have to thank you STL fans for Cheering and chanting Marty like that at the end, it made some sand get in my eye.
