GDT: Sabres at Blues 7:00 FanDuel

[stlblue06]

Cam Fowler with an embarrassing -3 this game and has done nothing offensively to earn being out with the goalie pulled yet he gets put right out there.

Want a perfect example for why this team gets scored on so easily with the goalie pulled….simply watch Fowler on that goal, pathetic.

He stopped and curled towards the boards when he had speed heading right to the puck carrier! Just soft SoCal surfer hockey from Mr. Anaheim Mighty Duck

-4 on the night

[blackinkbiz]

2 shots on goal 5 minutes in.

2 shots on goal end of period.

Again, we're paying kyrou, thomas, and buch how much? to do what?

You can't get paid this much and do this little. And it's worse than being invisible, it's being given grade A chances and not hitting the net. Snuggy there at the end wasn't much better, but come on. How much longer are we gonna sit on these 3 guys that do nothing for this team?

There are certain players who live to shoot and score. They don't care about how pretty it looks. Shooting and scoring is ingrained in their DNA. It's a desire and obsession with them. Every time we play against these kinds of players, you hear their names all throughout the game.

The Blues just don't have any of these players and for whatever reason, can't seem to acquire them. Sadly, Bolduc was a true shooter and what we got in return is thus far, depressing.

They sure keep talking him up in pre-games though.

[stlblue06]

Thomas is the best of the three, Kyrou too soft and is still pulling up instead of battling and taking the hit to make the play. Buch I'm not sure what to say other than he is far from a top line player right now. The second goal he had the puck right at his feet to try and make a play.

Sadly, there were two clear examples in this game where Kyrou did that. Disappointing.

Kyrou is back from injury? Haven’t noticed him once these past 2 games

When you play shorthanded every game; Sunny, Torop, Joseph, of course you gonna lose. Sunny is useless, Torop is a bigger creampuff than Parayko, and Joseph is a ghost most shifts. Monty proved he doesn't have a clue by scratching on the of the best players since joining the Blues in Begrren, and he'll probably prove it again when he scratches Fabbri against the Avs while Sunny, Torop, and Joseph play.

Yeah, a change needs to be made with those three.

We normally get revved up for the Avs and give them fits. I’m not so sure this time. It could get really ugly if Sunny is given as much TOI as he’s been getting against the speed of the Avs.

I don't have a f'n clue what this team sees in Sunny. He's worthless.

2 regulation losses in 37 games...if the Blues give them a game I'll be the first to celebrate it, but it just smells like a blowout waiting to happen. I just don't get the Sunny love...he is the working definition of "basic" and not in a good way.

Buch and Sunny were the Blues two worst forwards n tonight by the stats. Both got big ice time. As much as I was happy with Monty being brought in, his decisions lineup wise are certainly questionable.

[brianstlou2]

This team is a complete mess. I don’t think Sunny is the biggest problem to worry about.

Buch, Kyrou, Fowler are signed long term and have been horrible. Army does some things well but then shoots himself in the foot way too many times. I think he panics and does stupid things like sign Krug long term and Buch long term when most thought he should’ve been traded. Then he signed Fowler way too early. Fowler the type of guy that once he gets his contract, he craters and has no interest in actually playing.

Unless Army pulls some rabbits out of his hat like 6 and 81 thru trades this team isn’t close to a SC contender.

He’s been brain dead when it comes to building the defense since he got here. All of the good players he’s had were all drafted besides JayBo.

He lets Wallman and Dunn go for nothing.

Makes terrible deals for guys like Faulk, Leddy, and Scandella.

Then the stupid early re-signing of Fowler when he didn’t have to after making a “I’m bored in my last summer as a GM” trade for Mailloux.

Has managed to assemble the softest defensive group ever outside of Tucker…..and Mailloux after whistles and occasionally in the corner when it has no impact on the play.

Yep, the Fowler extension and Bolduc trade were just mind-boggling bad and continue to be so on a nightly basis.

[Quas]

If Dvorsky is only going to get 10 minutes per night might as well send him to Springfield and give him some playing time. The Blues management/coaching staff have this delusion that they are going to make the playoffs. May as well give the kids some ice time so they can develop. Put LM on the top power play. They are killing the confidence of some of these guys. In 2019 every button Berube pushed worked out. This year everything the coaches try fails miserably. Also, did they bring Kyrou back too soon? He hasn’t done much and maybe is tentative due to not being 100%.

Oh, you didn’t get the memo??? Any Blues player that’s out long-term automatically gets a one-month free pass to skate around like an (donkey)-hat moose on a frozen pond. It’s in the bylaws, eh.

Walman - whatever. Is what it is but exposing Dunn is definitely valid criticism.
