Plenty of time to turn this one around.

No thank you. No more wins.

 

[Mike Liut]

Losing our last 7 would be perfect.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

nice kneeing.. doubt it gets called

 

[Robb_K]

I know there is still a week and a half left in the season, but is this a must-lose game? We seem to be picking up way too much ground lately on the team directly in front of us and directly behind us.

Yes! There seems to be a drop-off in the quality of the draft candidates, and their fit with The Blues needs around Round 1 choices #6-7-8, so getting choices 9-10-11, instead of 6-8 could be worse for The Blues' future.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

wait.. they actually called that?? wow

 

[MissouriMook]

This game is going really poorly. Which is good.

I'm not gonna be able to watch 3-5 yrs of this

How is that boarding?

That’s just Pitlick being stronger than Fabbro.

I won't mind a Blues' loss in this game. I'd rather see them finish with the 7th or 8th choice, than the 9th, 10th, or 11th, because there's a drop-off in talent, and fit for The Blues' needs around the # 6-8 draft candidates. So, I don't mind their slow start in this game, and the 2-goal deficit after The 1st Period. It also seems to me that The Blues haven't done well in early starting games over the past several years.

I just want a top 9. I don't see the drop off until pick 10 or 11 (based on teams outside of the top 4 reaching for the guys they like)

~17% on faceoffs after 1st period

In any case, The Blues need a few losses just to ensure a chance at the 9th pick. I hope the young players continue to play well, but the team loses several 1-goal games, they play Greiss more, and rest their veterans more, bringing up some more prospects for a look. THAT is the way to tank. You can't ask Pro players to "play poorly".

No surprise! What could we expect playing only one of our regulars at centre, and testing out 2 wingers, who never played that position before on The NHL level?

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

one and done

siiiigh

hold. good call

 

[Robb_K]

Great save by Saros on Vrana's shot there.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

and a better looking PP that time

 

[Robb_K]

The Blues will go right back on the power play.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

lol.. a shorty... so much for a better PP

 

[jura]

sh goal

 

[Robb_K]

Greiss should have had that one. Kyrou's error set that shorty up.

We get 20 seconds of 5 on 3!

Blues miss Thomas and Buch
