GDT: Sharks at Blues; 7pm Central

[PocketNines]

I hate the Sharks but right now Jasper Weatherby is the greatest NHL name AINEC

The Lebanc slew foot looked 100% unintentional to me. Yes, it ended up being a dangerous play, but I don't think he was trying to do it. He was falling down. To my eyes it lust looked like a normal hockey play gone wrong.

I agree

He's no Darius Kasparaitis.

Not in the NHL anymore. My all time favorite remains Hakan Loob

Good game by the Blues. But Husso really kept us in it early. I think if he lets a couple of those early goals in, we have a much different game on our hands. We didn't play a full 60 because we were ass in the 1st. We got out scoring-chanced 18-13 5v5 in the first and 7 of those were high danger (to our 4). That's without the Sharks having a PP all game.

Could we have a little-bit of a goalie controversy brewing? Binnington has let in some deflating goals while today Husso made some inflating saves. You could normally say that husso is getting the easier starts, but both his games are against playoff contenders right now with at least .530 point capture.

Husso's stat line is 2-0, 0.5 GAA, .984 sv% against teams with a combined .547 point capture.
Binnington's stat line against weaker competition (sub .6 pt capture) is 5-2-2, 2.77 GAA, .913 Sv% against a combined 0.457% point capture.

Small sample size for Husso, but it at least shows we need to be resting Binnington more until Husso slows down. Husso has earned more starts and Binnington has earned more rest (both in the fact that he is playing a ton, and playing poorly the last few). I don't think there is a goalie controversy at all, and probably won't be. But Binnington does not need to play 75% of our games right now.

What about Walman or Mikkola? We have one extra defenseman.

i think they both have to go through waivers

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Im loving Perunovich, but I still need about 8-10 more games from him to be truly comfortable with him in the top 4.

No you don't. You already have his name tattooed on the middle-left sextant of your six-pack.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

correct. There are only two players waiver-exempt; Peru and Klim.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Not in the NHL anymore. My all time favorite remains Hakan Loob

Rutger McGroarty will be in the running in the coming years if/when he makes it

 

[Linkens Mastery]

No you don't. You already have his name tattooed on the middle-left sextant of your six-pack.

I feel honored that you think I have a Sixpack. But the only Sixpack I have is a Sixpack of Mountain Dew. Lol

 

[Celtic Note]

No you don't. You already have his name tattooed on the middle-left sextant of your six-pack.

Damn it! I thought I was the only one!

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Hakan Loob was a good one, but Slater Koekkoek is pretty f***ing awesome.

I'd be willing to go along with this, but they had three tripping calls against them and tried to continue tripping or payers.

 

[PocketNines]

“Clayton Stoner” always felt judgmental

 

[ChicagoBlues]

He's no Darius Kasparaitis.

Ugh! I had that once! Was a bitch to clear up.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Jeff Beukeboom is pretty good or Larry Goodenough.

 

[Blueston]

Doubt either would get claimed. If they are likely bc somebody is caught short and they will waive him again when healthy allowing us to reclaim.

“Clayton Stoner” always felt judgmental

Oh man, I almost forgot about him.

I remember seeing him play a bunch when he was with the Houston Aeros as a dumb (and usually stoned) late teen when I still lived in Peoria. Always wondered how many questions people would get if they bought his jersey. The common person would have had to think it’s a joke and not a real player

 

[Reality Czech]

Nice bounceback win tonight from the boys! In retrospect, Berube's decision to reunite Sunny and Barbie along with Saad seems like a stroke of genius. They fit together perfectly and will open things up for the top 6. Everyone looked sharp, so let's hope it carries over to the next few games.

 

[PocketNines]

When I hear “Jasper Weatherby” I assume he got his land stolen by Noah Cross

I wish Miroslav Satan would have played at least one game for New Jersey.

Oh same hahah. At least the Sabres colors back then were black/red, so it still almost fit.

At one point, the Lightning had both Slater Koekkoek and Boris Katchouk. Put them together and you have...

Koekkoek Katchouk.

I am the Walrus and I will see myself out.
