Half-Assed GDT: Theres a game tonight

[TK 421]

This Allen guy could seriously derail my Hughes fantasies. To The Chad!

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Allen

Does that make him wrong?

Yes, cause we need to fix the night 2 night effort level of this team before we even worry about Jake, or call him the biggest problem. We could have had any HOFamer in net this season and we would still be on the outside of the playoff picture.

December 7, 2018 will be the day remembered in history when the Blues pulled themselves out of the cellar.


Until we get blasted by Vancouver on Sunday

Wouldn’t that be something? I remember that 08-09 season like it was yesterday. Dead last in January and Chris Mason & Company led us back to the playoffs that season. The Columbus game where we clinched was probably the loudest Blues game I ever been too. So electric !

 

[Spektre]

That’s the luckiest two points of the season. The PK was good and that’s about it. Barbashev was the best forward. This team has packed it in.

Nice shutout win for The Blues on the road in a very tough arena, I'm not sure if this win will help them in the long run. With The Blues' Curse, this win is likely to be the single win that puts them in the lottery position that ultimately ends them in the 11th, rather than 10th drafting position, and loses them their Top-10 protected 1st Round 2019 draft choice, in this top-heavy draft pool year, versus a weaker pool in 2020!

How can we not even suck properly, jesus.

 

[EastonBlues22]

How can we not even suck properly, jesus.

We can't do anything for 60 minutes, it seems.

 

[Vladdy the Impaler]

Congrats Jake. You stole this one.

We'll all be kicking ourselves in the ass when he steals our top 10 protected pick in this year's draft.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Yes, cause we need to fix the night 2 night effort level of this team before we even worry about Jake, or call him the biggest problem. We could have had any HOFamer in net this season and we would still be on the outside of the playoff picture.

Even if I agreed with your last statement, which I don't, he wasn't just talking about this season.

The team's specific struggles of this season didn't exist last season, when Jake quite arguably was the team's single biggest problem.

 

[Robb_K]

How can we not even suck properly, jesus.

Verily, I knoweth of from whence thou comest! If they MUST screw things up winning JUST ENOUGH to lose their Top 10 protected draft choice this season,.......... do they HAVE to do it by beating my home town and 2nd favourite team??????? GRRRRRRRR!!!! 51 years of frustration going strong as ever! BOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[TK 421]

How can we not even suck properly, jesus.

The Penguins should be like our early warning system that gives us advance knowledge on when to suck. But we will probably **** that up and watch them draft another pair of franchise forwards in back to back years while we get the not-so- franchise somebody.

I was at that game. We chanted "we want play-offs" instead of "we want ta-cos". They interviewed Oshie after the game and he had tears in his eyes as everyone stayed around and kept cheering while they interviewed players.

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Even when Allen wins, he loses.

 

[EurlichBachman]

Every time I think they are about to turn a corner and go on a run after a big win they come out the next game and lay an egg so I fully expect a 5-1 loss on Sunday.

I was there too! It might be the highlight of my time as a blues fan.

 

[Itsnotatrap]

On Friday’s we’re cup favorites. The other six days, we’re favorites for Jack Hughes. They play enough games on Friday that we will probably end up with the 11th pick.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Jake Allen = worst tank commander ever

Good thing we only have 3 more Friday games this season.

 

[Itsnotatrap]

Good thing we only have 3 more Friday games this season.

My God, you’re right! We have a rock solid plan here then. I just assumed we had several left.

I had tears in my eyes watching at home. It was an amazing accomplishment.

It was disappointing to be swept vs Vancouver, but it didn’t take away from my fondness for that team.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I was there too! It might be the highlight of my time as a blues fan.

The highlight for me was the Wakey Backes game where Tarasenko tied it up with seconds left, then Jackman got the OT winner. The Blues were up 2-0 on Chicago and I just knew this year was going to be different. That arena was so incredibly loud when that score tied up.

But I remember Columbus was down one goal and it was so loud the players just milled around the last half minute, with zero danger of scoring. It was too loud to think (and Columbus had qualified for their first ever post-season just a couple days before).

 

[TheDizee]

didnt watch the game, was jake play insane and steal the win or did the team play a good game infront of him and limit chances?

To The Chad!

LMAO...

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Little of column A, and a little of column B. Our Offense didn't really show up, But the team played well defensively, Jake made some huge saves and we got a lucky bounce off a Parayko slapper.

I was at that game against Columbus too. And I can also confirm that that was one of the loudest, if not the loudest I’ve ever heard that building.
