RU SERIOUS Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 1 minute ago, DownUndaCanuck said: Now we see what Green is really worth. The Blues matched us, they were rubbish in Game 1, better in Game 2 and by far the better team tonight with a couple of little tweaks. I think we need to do the same now, Green's got to try something new. We're getting slaughtered 5-on-5 and now there's less PPs, we're getting exposed. Top-6 have been decent, Loui was pretty average tonight and I really think Motte with Horvat would work (but will never happen), and Virtanen is never getting a top-6 look now. I think Gaudette would really bring some energy into this team at the expense of say Virtanen or Roussel who's been terrible quite frankly. Defence was surprisingly solid, Stecher just played far too much. I'd play Fantenberg in our top-4 because he's been brilliant defensively, so get the minutes around: Edler, Tanev and Hughes all around 22-23 Fantenberg - 18 Benn - 17 Stecher - 16 I agree. In a nutshell, Sketcher, Lazy Jake & Rousel had poor performances tonight. I would suggest sitting Jake and Rousel out next game and give others a chance. Absolutely nothing to lose as between those three - they allowed St Louis to take control tonight - Especially Lazy Jake - who had another brain fart of a game.

There was about 10 minutes of the team playing the right way. Not good enough. There's games where teams have no business being in a game and this is one of those games. Fortunately Markstrom made his job look easy tonight. Actually that's not fair, I thought the defense worked hard. I thought our forwards took the night off. Bo, Eriksson, Roussel, Boeser, Miller, Virtanen and Beagle all took the night off in my opinion. Bo put in the work in OT and the first half of the first but that's not enough. The boys were tired and didn't dig deep. I don't mind poor execution, I mind poor efforts. I thought Roussel did his usual thing. He only played like 7 mins. Eriksson takes every night off so don't even mention it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Frustrating loss. But you knew the Blues were coming back hard. Kind of concerned this could be a big shift. But we'll see. I'm still choked how it ended but tomorrow is a new day. And we'll see what happens. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight seems and sounds like his worst game of the series yet, and that's something cause he hasn't been noticeable in a good way at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runtzguy Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Well, the Blues were desperate and they showed it with their effort tonight. Let's see what happens tomorrow and then i will freak out like the rest of you. Btw, I would really like them to not put Edler and Stetcher over 20 minutes cause they really can't handle over 20 minutes of play. Also, Virtanen didn't have a bad game or a good game. He was just there. Virtanen could literally be anyone during the time he spent on the ice because he was not noticeable at all. I seriously did not know he was playing until he took that penalty (which i thought was BS given how the refs passed on every other call against us). The point is if Virtanen doesn't want to put his heart into the game then he can sit. I rather see Gaudette in because he has heart, grit and an eagerness to win for the team and I can't see it for Virtanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UKNuck96 Posted August 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2020 11 minutes ago, Law of Goalies said: I found it odd that everyone is blaming Jake. I watched the 1st half of the game and he did well. I guess Green thought so too as he got 14 minutes of ice time, which was the highest so far in the playoffs. I have a feeling he is getting started. I'm just optimistic I guess. Yes, he can be a lot better and is kind of wasting his potential but he is a slow starter. To be honest, I rather bench Roussel before benching Jake. I’ve not been a fan of Jake this post season but calling him out today is just redicolous. people claimed with his 5 mins he didn’t do enough (including me) well today he created a couple of rushes and got partial breakaway from his own hard work. he gets crucified because he didn’t bury it. SMH it’s exactly the type of play he needs to be making and if he keeps making them eventually he pots one. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best time to change it up. get some fresh legs and offence. Lind's bubble burst 3 weeks ago.

N4ZZY Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Anyone have any information on whether Myers is gone for the series? Because if he is, we might not recover from tonight's loss. Cup champions showed why they were cup champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
