GDT: Mammoth at Blues 7:00 FanDuel

[zamadoo]

So I guess I have to not watch on Monday now too? I’m going to ignore them into a win streak

We appreciate your contributions to the cause.

That is a serious issue with NHL refs is they are always reactionary. I have no problems with getting the call right, but don't go to the review because of the injury go to the review because you initially thought it was a penalty but now you need to see how serious it was.

Has anyone heard if there will be a hearing over that play?

[Tony Palazzolo]

Theyve lost more than they have won lately, but they are getting points in almost all games lately. That shows me that they fight and haven't given up. Thats a great sign. LGB!!!

What was the stat I saw last night. The Blues in the last 12 are 5-2-5. They have been treading water but these last two wins are bringing them out of the basement. You would rather be Utah that was on fire to start the season or The Blues that mucked it up out of the gate now may be figuring it out? They have nearly the same point totals but heading in different directions.

I thought I heard the blah blah crowd tell me Broberg can't be a #1?

Oh it's simple

Just change your agenda and go after some other Blues player.

Pronger and Bernie raving about Broberg for 3 minutes during post game while resident idiot still asks..."what has he done"?

Nice win tonight. Still want to see Broberg get PP time but really nice game overall. Also want to see our top six break out and start producing.

Didn't hear 23's number called often, and that is a good thing. I think he played a reliable game. Yes, Broberg was doing his best Bobby Orr impression tonight. He played a really great game, and has for several games now. Glad to see Hofer shut out the team that chased him early last time we played. I hope Cooley isn't hurt as bad as it looked. He is a very good young player and knee injuries can be a career altering injury. Fabbri is one example of a guy who was never the same. I wish him the best.

The Cooley injury is sad to see. The first thing that pops into my mind particularly after watching the slow-motion replay, is it reminds me of the massive deep muscle tear injury that Cam Neely sustained to his quadricep when Ulf Samuelson's knee impacted straight on. I'm not a medical professional, so I don't know if it was a function of the muscle fibers being contracted or stretched at that precise moment. All I know is that during the healing process, the minerals (calcium) in his blood stream deposited into the muscle fibers at that point. Essentially like growing bone in the muscle. Thereafter the muscle could not "fire" (contract) properly. That also caused associated problems in the muscles/ligaments, etc. in the local area. He could never regain his prior stride; it was a recurring pain. He had a long recovery, tried like heII to come back from it, but eventually had to retire.
As I watched Cooley, it did not seem like the knee actually became that disjointed. I hope he is okay soon.
Finally, I do not believe that Toropchenko had any ill intent. It happens. I suppose the Refs/League probably lean toward that penalty assessed to protect the players overall. Not always fair, but it forced the team to focus and play together to kill it. That in itself may have been good for the Blues. And obviously the high stress end-game close for two in a row helps to get a better trajectory.

Mailloux had another solid game....I like his strength when net front not afraid to use it.

the replay showed exactly what they're saying today.. it was contact with his thigh, not his knee. I can't believe after a review how badly they screwed up that call.
good on the boys to kill that off and pull out the W

Not only did they get the call wrong (in my opinion), they made the decision really quickly. I agree, it was knee to thigh, and wasn’t intentional. But whatever, the Blues survived. I do feel terrible about the injury, though, because Cooley is a total stud.

at worst that should have been 2 mins. and agree about Cooley

[Frank Underwood]

Looks like good news for him, and it pretty much proves that it was a knee-to-thigh collision. I just saw this…..

and therein lies the problem with making calls based on the reaction instead of the play. If Cooley gets up immediately or is able to go off on his own power it's either no call or at worst a 2 minute. Instead because it looked like they'd be forced to amputate he was given the 5 minute. I'm not saying Cooley wasn't in some significant pain or was acting, not saying that at all, just that the call was based on what the refs believed to be a very major injury, not the actual play itself.

Indeed. That's good news. Thanks for posting.
