GDT: Round Robing Game 2 -- Blues vs. Knights | 5:30 CT, FSMW|

[EastonBlues22]

Missed the game until now. We only have 13 shots? Holy shit. Not good.

Has anyone looked good? I see Parayko and the ROR line have points. Anyone else even playing well?

Some individuals have looked OK, but the team as a whole hasn't looked good at all.

Nothing is in sync. No support. No layering. No physicality. No presence in the middle of the ice. A general lack of coordination and timing.

Toss on a large number of individual lapses on top of that, and you get what we're seeing. It's a preseason quality game against a team playing better than that (but still not great themselves).

ONE f***ING SHOT IN THE 3rd

ONE

 

[Blueston]

This game is only close bc Fleury hasn’t been good.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

f***ing pathetic. Absolutely embarrassing. I hope they pick it up or they'll be done after the 1st round.

One shot in the third period.

They are the least conditioned team in Edmonton. Can’t wait for the excuses after this one.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

When does the '20-'21 season start?

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Looks like we are getting the #3 seed if we beat the Stars. Who would that look like we are playing If so?

why would we beat the Stars?

 

[Blueston]

When does the '20-'21 season start?

About 2 weeks if we play like this

One shot in the third period.

I have to agree.

The WILL isn't there and the BODY isn't there.

 

[Blueston]

Doesn’t matter who we play if this is how we play.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Bubble Bust

 

[Chet Manly]

Do we at least get the first game of the day on Sunday?

 

[Mike Liut]

The defending cup champs didn’t want to play hard in 3 exhibition games. I’m not worried.

 

[thedustman]

well, that sucked, but at least we know Parayko can score.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Well, in the other thread I predicted us taking the 4th seed after the RR play. Looks like that is playing out.

I know we are saving our physical game, but we don't even take shots. I know Chief wants them to manage the puck and hold on, but what's the point? I didn't see any chemistry tonight in the O corps. We are most likely done after round #1.

 

[BlueDream]

No excuse for that type of effort from what I’m hearing.

I don’t care too much about wins and losses during these round robin games but I really hope we win against Dallas to at least build some confidence going into the real games. If we lay another egg then I will be concerned.

 

[thedustman]

I guess this means we're not playing the hawks or coyotes

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

The defending cup champs didn’t want to play hard in 3 exhibition games. I’m not worried.

You probably should be. They aren’t just losing. And I don’t buy the “we are the only team not trying” stuff.

 

[Blueston]

Bozak only F with more than 1 shot.

 

[Chojin]

I'm still reeling from how bad that was. Just mind-blowingly bad from the defending champs.

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Yeah I don't think I buy this "they're just not trying yet" narrative. Every other round robin team outside of Boston has looked better than the Blues so far.

 

[Blueston]

Schenn and Schwartz 0 shots. Looks like Tank wasn’t only anvil on that line.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Bozak only F with more than 1 shot.

That says a lot.

Does Chief have some game plan that limits their shot attempts or are the guys just to damn out of shape and off timing to get into a scoring position?

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Bring on '20-'21!

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Yeah I don't think I buy this "they're just not trying yet" narrative. Every other round robin team outside of Boston has looked better than the Blues so far.

And Boston hasn’t gotten beaten the way the Blues have. If we were going toe to toe with these teams and losing I wouldn’t be worried.

 

[BlueOil]

Yeah I don't think I buy this "they're just not trying yet" narrative. Every other round robin team outside of Boston has looked better than the Blues so far.

dallas has looked like a tire fire too, washington has one overtime point and looked impotent today.
