GDT: Bolts at Blues 7:00 FanDuel

[blackinkbiz]

Good outcome for another borderline mediocre period from the Blues.

Turned it on after Jake's goal and it looked like a continuation from last game.

Guess I didn't miss much. Were a few saves all they needed to have a more confident and assertive, attack-style of play?

If that's the case Binnington has REALLY hurt the team this season, although, to be fair, Hofer was even worse to start the season.

Blues finally get on the forecheck- what a difference

Question;
Box score shows Fowler with an assist, but 0 in the +/-......with our 2-0 lead and no special team goals, how is this possible?

He changed between the pass and the goal

Another example of where +/- stat has some flaws. It’s a good indicator for a player, but definitely has flaws, especially for players on a horrid 6 on 5 team like the Blues who give up a lot ENGs

For sure. It’s a tool and over the long run it tends to even out for stuff like this, but it can’t be the sole indicator

[Bluesfan1978]

Broberg played pretty good on the PP. needs to put a little more speed on his passes entering the zone though. Love Snug's willingness to shoot

[hotrivets]

Getting closer on shots. Lots of O zone time. Snugs shoots every time he gets the puck on his stick.

As he should

PK let's go

[zamadoo]

Nice play by Buch there on the PK.

[MiamiLaw]

That’s unfortunate. Went down easy

A player's +/- that's relative to his team's scoring and defending tendencies would be far more indicative of his actual score than the archaic system by which this attribute is discerned.

[zamadoo]

Terrible by Walker there.

I expect some aggressive forechecking from him going forward.

Of course Kucherov scores immediately and they still get the full 5 on 4.
