Half-Assed GDT: Theres a game tonight

[DoubleK81]

Yeah, I'm not even paying attention to the schedule anymore. I didn't realize there was a game and I didn't know who we were playing.

It feels really weird and kinda nice.

I used to be really irritated that since I work nights I can only listen to the game here or there. Over the last couple of weeks I don't even bother to tune in, and usually have to look up if we've played recently.

Which number is bigger? Blues goals or Blues too many men bench minors?

Really this one might be a tough call

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Is Laine playing with one hand tied to his back?

He already was playing with one hand behind his back, now he's going to unleash his full power on us.

I've got $25 to win $32 on Jets -1.5

Feels like free money. I may throw down more! We're beat to heck and terrible and on the road against a team that can score a lot.

Jets 5, Blues 2

On the contrary, I'm starting Jake Allen in fantasy. Currently in first place in the league. Is there any way to construe these two truths into positive advanced stats for Allen?

We're probably going to win since we don't think we are.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I'm not quite sure to root for wins or losses at this point. And for other teams, I'm not sure if 3 point games are good or bad. So I've decided to root for wins, and not feel bad when they lose. I just don't want to watch shut-outs where the Blues are totally inept. I'd at least like to see some great plays to get excited about from our guys.

I have little confidence in tonight's game, but wouldn't be shocked if they win either. I'll probably watch women's volleyball Sweet 16 matches instead tonight (totally not joking).

I've got Jets -1.5 so I'm fine with Jets 2, Blues 0 with the 2nd goal being an empty netter.

Remember tonight boys, gonna be the BIG win that turns our season around!!!









Jk lol.

LBG tho! Hope we get an entertaining game at least.

The other thread was locked but I wanted to reply to you about saying that even if the team did turtle you can't really blame the coach. I believe the turtle is 100% on the coach. He has either instructed them to play that way or he allows them to keep getting ice time when they refuse to play the style he wants. So either way its on the coach. That's just my opinion.

Good point... but it can't be 100% on the coach unless he is the one turtling on the ice (he's not). It could have a lot to do with the coach tho (which I agree with)

disagree with the bolded. I think you're right about the BIG win. Just gotta play like a pesky playoff spoiler team.

Still think Barbashev deserves an opportunity on a higher line.

I'll have 3 digits now against Blues.

FYI we are testing out a new forum feature called Live Threads. New posts will continuously pop in like a constant feed so you can follow along without refreshing.

If you'd like to try it, join the usergroup here:

It will only affect a few specific threads at this time like this GDT.

Let @SniperHF know if you run into any problems with it.

Yep. I think Barbeshev should play left wing in a top 6 role tonight. Thomas goes to 3 or 4C.
Maroon gets benched and Kyrou plays RW on the 3rd line just to get more NHL action.
Our 4 LWs tonight are way below par .... Sanford, Steen, Maroon, Nolan ... snooze.

After the fifth Jet's goal; I predict Bendak will break down and consume mass quanities of chocolate gooey butter cake.

 

[Bendak]

Getting fined Bendak likes is a huge deal

Whiskey for my horses

Likes for my men

Gooey butter cake for yours truly

Which number is bigger? Laine goals or Blues quality scoring chances?

Which number is bigger? Blues goals or Blues too many men bench minors?

Translated: This would be funny if it weren't so true.

Who are the Blues playing?

*checks schedule*

*sighs*

Ok where’s the barrel?

Barrel of whiskey?

Barrel of whiskey?

.... I suppose it could be? I don’t think it’s relevant for the joke I was going for

8th of December and my team is folding... This is brutal season.

Wonder what players think about this.

They probably think that some guy named Ranksu beat them to the punch a good six plus weeks ago.

 

[Blanick]

Against my better judgement, I am here.

 

[Mike Liut]

Just lose

 

[67Blues]

On a side note the live thread seems to work

 

[Bendak]

Just lose
