GDT: St. Louis Blues vs. Vancouver Canucks | Cup Defense on the Brink |

[EastonBlues22]

Can't say that was a textbook way to play that 2 on 1.

 

[sfvega]

Quite the contrast, these last two playoffs....

 

[Spektre]

2 on 1 who’s the defender’s responsibility??? According to Faulk ,,, nobody

 

[AjaxManifesto]

I could root for COVID to take down the bubbles...but that would not be right...



Let's get ready for '20-'21.

Good luck Canucks!

I don’t know whether Petro will be back, but I’m have a feeling Armstrong does. Either they have framework in place and he is just waiting to move $ or he knows Petro is gone.

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

5 more painful minutes because we won’t get any more for months

If they start in December, expect training camp to start up in late October / early November

 

[TruBlu]

I hope we start next season with dueling goalies.

I'm sure during the pause they probably talked once or twice. It'll be sad to see him go if he does, but I can't fault a guy at the stage of his career to go somewhere else he wants to play, or if someone comes in with an amazing offer we can't match.

Husso and Binner?

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

Really? He’s been generally terrible. Throwing puck around randomly, turning puck over. Great talent but he has had bad series.

agreed ... he has all the talent in the world and it shows .. but the pull up blind pass shit needs to stop and he needs to make a little more contact

 

[Celtic Note]

We are going to need to see some very significant progress by our young guys next year.

Last I checked the defender is supposed to take away the pass. It looks like Faulk that standing in between the 2 was enough

 

[TruBlu]

Remember when people on here wanted him gone?....

 

[GoldenSeal]

Polishing my Cup ring, can't hear any chatter from fans of any team whose never won it. It's beneath me lol.

I do. The 2018-2019 season we didn't make it...last game against the Avs.

Brutal.

People questioned his leadership. I did.

The team just didn't seem mentally prepared.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Time to play some Flight Sim 2020 and watch Forensic Files. See yall later boys.

At least based on his play in these games, Kyrou looks ready to start with us next season. It'll be interesting to see Kostin's slot after a hopefully good camp too

 

[GoldenSeal]

EN AGAIN? So... we're going to wreck the Nucks now or something?

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

That switch is getting flicked anytime now

go punch somebody in the mouth .. f*** your handshake line in the age of covid

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Well I’d normally post let’s do this....just got home from work to this shit show....

Just gonna make a post saying I enjoyed being the Cup Champs for a year and was looking forward to another great Playoffs. Instead of a deep run we have all the hallmarks or trademarks of the Blues we have known over the years. Just put a check mark next to the key bullet points!
Sputtering into the Playoffs (This case the round robin) Check!
Inconsistent Goaltending Check!
Injuries to key players Check!
Win two games convincingly, lose 2 close games, and get blown out in the other two. Usually they win two first and then lose 4 but I’ll still give this a Check!
First Round Exit Check!

I’d like to blame Covid or anything else we might to use as an excuse but at the end of the day if your the champs and you truly learned how to win in the playoffs this is nothing but a huge disappointment.
