GDT: Us Vs the Blues Clues |6PMish I think | Need cats

[theslatcher]

All 4 lines, and all 3 pairings have been involved in our goals, btw. Perfectly balanced.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Hague! Who has next turn?

 

[CupInSIX]

MARTINI
WILD WILL
MARCHY

 

[CupInSIX]

HAGGER

it's funny the 1st line is still a black hole for offense now.

 

[CupInSIX]

4 minutes for THAT?

Gotta find a better way to manage the game, refs.

 

[theslatcher]

Refs ALWAYS FAVORING VEGAS WTF!

Agreed. That was bs.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Agreed. That was bs.

Well, 2 for roughing (lol) and 2 for telling the ref he is effing stupid, maybe.

 

[CupInSIX]

Kolesar has 2 points and Glass still without a point on the top line. The boy is cursed.

 

[IceNeophyte]

PP is stellar as usual

 

[IceNeophyte]

So Vegas comes to play and muh Zags don't

 

[IceNeophyte]

Fire Steve Spott.

 

[CupInSIX]

Fire Steve Spott.

Their PP has been...spotty

 

[IceNeophyte]

Haha Holden finally gets his penalty.

Did this Blues team really win a Cup? Sure feels like they just got hot for half a season and playoffs and haven't accomplished much else. I know some injuries now but wow they are getting shown the door in the most brutal fashion.

Sub par goaltending.

Koleslaw will never be more than a fourth liner IMHO, but if he can play like this, frankly Reaves is superfluous.

What I've been saying.

 

[hangman005]

I like that we won... I don't like that this game happened during sleep time

 

[Boris Zubov]

Scoring drought?!?

Too bad we can't play the Blues in every playoff round.

 

[theslatcher]

Smith's having one dreadful season so far(he's on pace for nearly 29 points in a 82 game season), if he can turn it around for a strong finish that'd be great.

Blues stay on their current path, they won't play in ANY playoff round.

I was going to post about this today after looking at the stats last night. I knew he was not having a good season but my god I didn't realize how bad it was. We have 3 defensemen with more points than Smith at this point and it would be 4 if Petro hadn't misssed 1/3 of the season. After an 11 game hot streak Nosek now has as many points as Smith has this season. Alec Martinez who is not known for his offense has more assists than Smith has points.

It's amazing this has been a top 3 team this season with no one outside of Stone, Pacioretty and Theodore showing up offensively. Gonna need the usual Avalanche injury crisis to have any chance to beat them in the postseason with the second line playing the way it has.

I think the weak division they play in masks many deficiencies of this team. I can see their playoff arc being identical to one they just went through in Edmonton. Adding Pietrangelo didn't do anything to address the scoring issues they continue to have. Good teams have realized it's easy to shut the Knights down simply by clogging the middle of the defensive zone & blocking point shots.
