GDT: Canucks at Blues

[mooger_35]

No Bieksa tonight. Lower body injury (seems like he's had a brain injury the last few games)

Barker in.

Schneider starts.

 

[dash]

Let's go Blues!

/Need that 1st round pick in the 2013 draft

 

[jstewismybastardson]

this should be interesting

no right shooting dmen playing for the canucks tonight





/Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[The Q stache]

Let's go Stadium collapse... Damn now I hope it doesn't happen cause I would feel terrible.

 

[puckhead]

nice shift at about the 15 minute mark of the 1st.
Burrows / ballard giving Steen / Sobotka a rough ride, including a face tackle so egregious that play basically stopped as they all waited for the play to be called.
10 seconds later, blues have Too Much Man on the ice.

Burrows has upped the pesky level in the past week or so.


ugh. Lapierre can't get the puck out from 4 feet away from the blueline,
leads to a 2 minute firedrill in their zone to end the period.

 

[mattola]

well that was fucking stupid Burrows

 

[puckhead]

2nd period, Andrew Ebbet takes a pass in the wheelhouse for a onetimer, right between the face-off circles--- touch pass behind him to the far wing, kind of towards kassian a little bit.
SHOOOT THE PUCK, ASSHOLE! Through 30 minutes, Nucks have 8 shots.
Waiting for Elliot to fall asleep?

huh... Burrows saved Ballard from a Backes scrap
not sure why, Ballard seemed pretty damned eager to go.
getting Backes off the ice for 7 minutes seems like a good idea.

w00t! for the late powerplay goal.
ugliest powerplay of the night up until that point.

JayBo!! lol

A mad scramble in front of the Canucks net and all hell breaks loose - Main combatants were Backes, Perron, Alberts, and Ballard. Somehow Kassian ends up in the box though.

I wouldn't mind seeing those two teams tussle in a playoff series, great 3rd period action.

 

[dash]

And we're going to OT in the Showme State...

 

[dash]

This game will be decided via the coin flip...

 

[dash]

Blues win and Flames fans do the happy dance...

 

[puckhead]

Sobotka seems to be quite the bitch.
Would've liked to have seen him actually drop 'em with Kesler in the 1st.

Barker saves Kesler's bacon on the giveaway to MacDonald
and then Barker gives it right back misplaying the bouncing puck at the blueline

OK, Burrows got 4 minutes for being 3rd man in, Backes gets.... 2 for the exact same thing of course.
Backes' trash talk from the penalty box "you're bald... you're bald".. that's the best you've got? fucking lame.


meh. managing your losses. nucks didn't really earn 2 pts tonight.
I'm assuming the 3 point game was specifically for Q (post#4)


Blues are going to do some damage to whatever team they may face, if they make it in.
I kind of hope they miss though, for JaBlo's sake.
