GDT: TankTown Express: Like a Country Song

[Moose and Squirrel]

have they won any puck battles today??

The Blues blew the 5 on 3 time, and the've looked bad on the 5 on 4 since. After watching that, and their giving up the shorty, it makes me wonder. Maybe you actually CAN get your players to deliberately tank?

Clearly, they're just not good at getting up early in the morning.

I remember it like you do (didn't try to look up the actual stats), that they just don't do well in day games

Tales of our ascension have been greatly exaggerated.

This is an awful hockey team.

just goes to show ya how bad those other teams are

And it will stay this way as long as Kyrou is a key cog in the team.

We are missing 2 of our top 3 point producers and we are playing a player who had never played center as our #2 C.

 

[TheDizee]

-3 in 9:59 of ice time. really impressive.

You're right. We're good.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

You're right. We're good.

Not saying we're good. But, what I am saying is you add players the caliber of Thomas and Buchnevich onto the team we are better than we are playing today.

The team defence is terrible, and Greiss has been playing terribly the last several games. That doesn't take away the fact that Armstrong picking up Vrana, Kapanen, and Blais for almost nothing has helped The Blues towards replacing the veteran forwards they gave up. Adding Hofer next season will help their goaltending. But, if they can't improve their corps of defenceman, even trying to get their forwards to get back on defence, and defend in The Neutral Zone won't help get them back into the playoffs.

Krug has to go this offseason and if this is the new normal for Parayko, we are in deep shit.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

lol.. that goal should come back. played with a high stick

wtf

 

[TheDizee]

in other news, water is wet.

A team that has something to play for vs a team that's sleepwalking.

Agreed. It's the old adage. You have to build from the net out. I can't wait to see defensive structure again. It's going to be so refreshing.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Blues need to look at the center market this offseason. Forcing wingers into the center spot is not going to work.

 

[Spicy Panger]

Whoa was that Berube and Kyrou having words at the end there?

Preds are missing some big time players as well

Yeah but they have a chance to make the playoffs. Blues seem to be totally uninterested. No urgency at all.

Kyrou is IMO a clubhouse cancer who only cares about offense, playing Fortnite and making money, not winning. The fact that he was rewarded with a 8 year deal with absurd money for a one dimensional player and a one trick pony has set a terrible standard and created locker room issues. This has already been reported on earlier this season. He should have been packaged into a deal for MT last summer, think the team would be heartless/unlikeable with MT on the team every night?

You will NEVER see any meaningful winning on a team with a player such as Kyrou taking up so much of your cap. He is a support player, not a franchise player you build around. Yet he is now going to be paid like one for the next 8 years. It makes it worse when people like Krug, Schenn and Thomas are also underperforming this year.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I'm taking a break from this place for the night see yall next game.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Looks like I’m not missing much with this one lol

 

[TheDizee]

#1 priority this offseason is getting rid of Krug.

#2 is getting rid of Kyrou.
