They aren't playing a specific system for the win. The players are trying to play with their linemates to create single opportunities. Road groups travel different rosters. They literally have the least amount of practice before their first game in any sport. Baseball has a whole spring training regime. Football even has a couple weeks tho their practice isn't so much a practice anymore.

This is a funny post. Winning the preseason is no ones goal I can guarantee you that.
I never said anything about winning the games… Just a little concerning that we have two goals in two games… it’s mostly trying to play it off as joke(ish) post but, I am gonna be honest I expected way more than that.
Not to pile on after the tackle, but....

Our team was trying to put the puck in the net past prospects, not NHL goalies.

Minnesota and Columbus were up against Binnington and Hofer for most of the game.

Do you think that Army was trying to "HIDE SOMETHING" with his goalie starts?
All indications are he must enjoy reading your posts.
There are 3 sections in the BluesTalk Library:

1. Romance - This is where you will find the Army Romance Novels

2. Science Fiction - This is where you will find experts telling you to not think about anything too much, lest you fret.

3. Hockey - This is where readers will not find the ASOGG posts

In regards to readership, I like my chances.
4. Delusional or Grossly incompetent - This is where you will find ASOGG drivel
5. Biography.- This is where posters talk about other posters. I would not suggest spending any time there because it is boring.
Your lack of self awareness is clearly on display again. Maybe you need Adderall or something?

The pre-season standings are not historically indicative of regular season standings.
Also with a lot of the Blues’ offense being driven by their D, and so far no Fowler, Parayko or Faulk that probably has an impact as well. Broberg and Mailloux are the only D dressed so far that one would expect to drive offense from the back line this season. And Jiricek had no help yesterday.

This is the preseason. It is about evaluating the players that may make the team now, this year, or in future years. It is not about winning games for any kind of points. Yes, we all feel good when they win. But that isn't the goal to this time of year.

A few scores are not likely to see during the season.

Golden Knights 0 - Sharks 3
Panthers 3 - Predators 5

The scores above reflect the expected and traditional circumstance. The prospects on weak teams are better than the prospects on strong teams. That informs you that the NHL DRAFT IS WORKING AS INTENDED. Prospects is how teams rebound next year!!!

In the case of the Blues, however, you will not witness this "turnaround". Even though the infamous 2023 re-whatever has recently concluded, our prospects are nothing special. The Blues scoff and spit at the NHL draft because they worship the cash register instead. The upward tick that they care about is profits. To reap the benefits of the NHL draft as intended, you have to approve fewer ticket sales in the current year, AND THE BLUES WILL NEVER DO THAT.

And yes, this is the burr in the ASOGG's saddle.

Cheers.

In my other post, I will be monitoring "Prospect Points". This is going to track how much value Army is getting from his draft selections.
This analysis will tell us where the broken clocks are, as well as the broken draft choices.

Welp I made a post late morning and just came back at 5:20 to catch up on this thread and it took me about 30 seconds to go through the thread because I skip any post or quote from the peanut gallery.

It's like speed reading on steroids.
