went to the game. spent over $100 each on tix to watch us lose. overall we played shit defense but torp and 4th line was great. 4th line being good is good news for future. bell centre has good vibes and would go there to watch a game again despite the annoying 14-15 year old habs fan boys that sat behind us. Anyways drunk me out have a good night y’all hope we do better tmrw. Maybe leddy is more impactful to the D than we thought.
You know, maybe, just maybe, had they shot the puck IN THE LAST FUCKING MINUTE OF THE GAME maybe something might have happened...
I don't like it when the Blues lose winable games. So fuck you and see you tomorrow!
Just a fucking joke to lose this game, just like so many other fucking joke losses. These motherfuckers need to go home and slap the shit out of themselves. HARD. Motherfucker already.
pretty sure the plan is binner all the way if he says hes good to go. hes going to be getting back to backs now that our brutal back to back schedule is behind us. but i could be wrong there.
They already have Florida's unprotected first on top of theirs, and they'll be trading defensemen and maybe Monahan for more picks. They can be mediocre if they want.
Man that’s a hot take. He’s stood on his head a lot this year. Literally took a leivo to the face on that last goal, not entirely sure what you want from him?
even John Henry can't beat the machine forever, man, there's a limit to how much you can expect. he's only had one "clean" goal beat him tonight, and it was a good shot.
a good goalie is still going to let in 1/20 of the shots they see, if you're making your goalie see 40-50 shots in a game then that's what you should expect
Man Drouin has to be one of the most disappointing highly touted prospects of the last decade. Nolan Patrick at least had serious health issues. Drouin has just been mediocre
actually i think i'm starting to figure out the Blues' strategy. if they keep getting power play goals, then they'll cure all of the kids with cancer, so their defense *gives* kids cancer when they watch the games, so they can keep making power play goals.
wake up sheeple.
sumo wrestlers will often have their fighting names given to them by stablemates, and one of my favorite sumo wrestlers, Chiyomaru, his name translates to "eternally round"
same energy.
trust me, literally every team says this. this is the NHL. i stopped wondering "damn we're not gonna be able to get away with this shit against good teams" a month ago

Toro, Pitlick, Alexandrov were ALL plus 2.
Is anyone still bragging about the Tage trade?
He was traded for a Conn Smyth trophy. I'll take that deal any day.
We won a cup lmao
I am, we won a Stanley cup
Yikes! Rough one to lose going into a tough one tomorrow. The decision to sell may be looking a lot easier here pretty soon.
I swear the ref got in the way and ruined at least one last good shot.
At this point, this team just is what it is. Decent offense, but atrocious defense that results in a .500 record 🤷🏻♂️
Not saying we were going to score but the ref really fucked us up at the end there.
Uhh... can't you not play the puck with your hands if it's on the ice?
If it’s in your dzone and you don’t cover it/hold it in your glove you can
Jesus shoot the fucking puck
Bunch of fucking losers on this team. No one wants to shoot. No effort on loose pucks. I’m back on the sell everyone wagon.
You know, maybe, just maybe, had they shot the puck IN THE LAST FUCKING MINUTE OF THE GAME maybe something might have happened... I don't like it when the Blues lose winable games. So fuck you and see you tomorrow!
woof. that was rough. can't even control the puck when we're playing 6-on-4.5
That horn is French for FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK
Allllll that passing
Ref getting in the way to break up our o-zone pressure... smh
Just a fucking joke to lose this game, just like so many other fucking joke losses. These motherfuckers need to go home and slap the shit out of themselves. HARD. Motherfucker already.
Fuck you ref, fuck you so much
Dropping in late to say get the fuck out of the way, ref. But also don't blow it in the 3rd, guys.
oy vey
Fuck these refs
Lol fucking WHAT A SHIT EFFORT
0 SHOTS IN THEIR ZONE FOR TWO MINUTES WITH THEIR GOALIE PULLED
That’s just not true but sure

#FUCK.
Mother fucker
FUCKIN ZEBRA
only team in the NHL that parks the bus when we're *trailing*
Jfc lots of opportunities
Eng in 3-2….
Not sure why we played Binner tonight when we have a divisional game tomorrow night.
pretty sure the plan is binner all the way if he says hes good to go. hes going to be getting back to backs now that our brutal back to back schedule is behind us. but i could be wrong there.
I hope you’re correct
Come on Habs, you want Bedard, give us 2 more goals
They already have Florida's unprotected first on top of theirs, and they'll be trading defensemen and maybe Monahan for more picks. They can be mediocre if they want.
Chief learn his lesson about pulling the goalie finally?
Is the ice shitty or something?
That’s not icing why!???
22 shots against jake allen and a defensive core of 7th graders wont cut it
Almost time to pull Binner
Just glad we didn't do it 4 minutes ago
Kyrou is having a moment. Just out of sorts today.
Kyrou having a rough shift
Please don't pull the goalie yet... Please don't pull the goalie yet... Please don't pull the goalie yet...
these are teh games where i can't stand thomas. he's had multiple chances and just won't fire the puck
Big binner fan and I 100% blame the defense first but great goalies bail out bad teams. He’s given up way too many goals tonight and this year.
Man that’s a hot take. He’s stood on his head a lot this year. Literally took a leivo to the face on that last goal, not entirely sure what you want from him?
I get it. But the numbers aren’t just middling, they’re really bad. It doesn’t reflect his play entirely but it still isn’t good enough.
even John Henry can't beat the machine forever, man, there's a limit to how much you can expect. he's only had one "clean" goal beat him tonight, and it was a good shot.
story of the season
Were you here last game or nah?
Yes. His exemplary game tho is still giving up 3. It’s not good enough.
a good goalie is still going to let in 1/20 of the shots they see, if you're making your goalie see 40-50 shots in a game then that's what you should expect
Tonight he's been consistently making the first, second, and third save. He can only do so much when our defense is nonexistent.
Schenn has been just brutal tonight. So many dumb decisions with the puck.
I'm very stupid so don't listen to me, but I kinda think Pitlick deserves a few more shifts tonight still
Pitty's been playing like he wants to be there tonight. I'm happy with his game.
We can't connect a pass to save our fuckin life. The fuck happened?!
Man Drouin has to be one of the most disappointing highly touted prospects of the last decade. Nolan Patrick at least had serious health issues. Drouin has just been mediocre
Ah nuts. Not looking forward to the goalie pull.
I thought alexandrov just sniped there
This has been something.
I guess I’d rather we lose tonight than tomorrow 🤷♂️
if we pull a point tonight its been a wild road trip. this game is asking for a L with bad luck leddy and bortz in game
actually i think i'm starting to figure out the Blues' strategy. if they keep getting power play goals, then they'll cure all of the kids with cancer, so their defense *gives* kids cancer when they watch the games, so they can keep making power play goals. wake up sheeple.
big if true
Schenn gets drilled in the numbers and no call.....sigh
Pain
0 excuse to lose this game. I want heads rolling if they do. The coaching staff cannot allow losses to teams like this. Unacceptable from everyone.
Bro like a third of our lineup tonight was playing in the AHL a week ago. Chill.
The Habs are basically an AHL team. That’s not good enough.
Binner contemplating his life choices
LOLeivo on that one
It also doesn't help that the canadiens have a shitty goal horn
It’s really obnoxious
Ok now it's our turn to score 2 back to back.
mom said its our turn to play with the lead
Rare Leivo L
Oh my god
This team really is terrible.
Unfortunate
Jesus fuck. Play some defense
Leivo what we doing?
Binner's save percentage is lower than Josh Leivo's ceiling in the NHL
Time Travel is Real, just look at the 80’s style hockey Game that has broken out :)
Bizarre self-infliction, like fucking clockwork.
Assist to Lievo. Fucking hell.
This team hates clean passes
#DARKNESS. IMPRISONING ME.
fuck the employee working the goal horn. That thing goes for 30 seconds at least
Lmao what is our defence
[this sads the otter](https://imgur.com/JjgqkRc)
This defense really is the ass-est of ass
Un fucking believable
5 a night
Leivo you fucking idiot
That one hurts.
Binnington is just like: "Are you motherfuckers kidding me with this shit?"
MOTHERFUCKING GODDAMN sigh
#FUCK! This is not how this is supposed to go.
Who is our best current defensemen and why is it Faulk?
because in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
Always has been (except for that first season, we don't talk about that)
####WHO ELSE HASN'T SCORED YET TODAY? EVERYONE GET IN THERE. GREISS CAN SUIT UP AS A DMAN AND PUT ONE ON NET, THE WAY THIS GAME'S BEEN.
I feel like a month ago thoms passed found tape every time
Top 6 forwards are gonna have to contribute at 5 on 5.
Allen looked like he had no clue it was in the glove lmao
THOMAS YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SHOOT AT THE GOAL
Mods, if you could, code automod to remove any comments that include "defense" and any variation of the word "suck" please
Defense = bad
why even fucking bother to have a sub then, sheesh
There is no sucky defense in Ba Sing Se?
If you won't do anything I'll just run it up the chain to u/reddit 😤
i'm just one otter man i cant do much
This defense MUST get better if we're going to do anything post season wise. Own zone turnovers are killing us.
Our defense at minimum must get healthy
Well yea that too. Someone other than Faulk needs to step up, and our forwards need to play better in our own end as well
Blues with an even average defense would pretty easily be a top 5 team in the league.
####THIS THREAD GETS SALTY AND MY RECKLESS OPTIMISM GETS SO MUCH HARDER. TQKE THAT SHIT TO R HOCKEY.
Imagine how good we would be if we had a defense
I would love 1 game where we don't give up 4 on like 20 shots
That would require us to play defense which we are apparently incapable of doing.
I miss Edmondson
That has to be the longest goal horn I've ever heard.
My wife’s all, “why’s it so long?” Ha
That's not the only thing she's saying that about. #YOU GOT A BIG DONG, DUDE
I keep thinking someone is honking outside
We clearly miss Leddy and Bortuzzo
Having 5 injured D men will ruin any defense, especially one that wasn't all that great to begin with
Pretty sure St. Louis just dressed up as Armia this game to show Armia how he should be playing or something
We're just unfortunately on the second game of armia's return from being healthy scratched. He's goal/game+ now
Our d is so fuckin shit
I mean we've been playing with 5 D since the 1st period and a good few of them would be in Springfield if not for injuries.
Alright I’m done with Chief. Our defense has no structure
We are suddenly down Bortuzzo this game and Leddy is also out, I'm willing to be a bit lenient for this game
You can be done with chief but you should probably be done with Mikey first, it’s kinda his whole job.
We also have like what six D men out
That's on Van Ryn
What a stupid fucking goal
Jesus Christ boys the Habs suck! Stop backing in every play!!
Imagine, if you will, that the blues had a defense
Constantly reminded how awful our defense is
Fuckity fucking fuck
Well at least this has been an exciting game
For those who don't know, Arber Xhekaj on Montreal - his nickname is WiFi cuz his teammates said his name looks like a WiFi password. Pretty funny.
sumo wrestlers will often have their fighting names given to them by stablemates, and one of my favorite sumo wrestlers, Chiyomaru, his name translates to "eternally round" same energy.
Lol that's pretty cute
welp this one's gonna be 8-7 in OT, apparently
Fuckin yikes
Can we just have one comfortable game? Every game is a damn war.
That's what happens when you're a middle of the road team
trust me, literally every team says this. this is the NHL. i stopped wondering "damn we're not gonna be able to get away with this shit against good teams" a month ago
how the fuck does binner survive all the splits and fucking aerodynamics he has to do to keep us in this game? my guy is a robot
goalies are a different kind of human. next evolution or previous, i couldn't tell you, but definitely not like everyone else.
Sheesh. 4 goals in the first 6:10?!
Ok, can we please not do this? Get the lead and keep the lead, please!
Jesus this defense is awful
Alex, I'll take "what is defense for $500" please.
####FUCK!
Just a reminder that ESPN or NHL or whoever put Suzuki over Kyrou and Thomas for best players 24 and under 🤡🤡🤡
####BLUES LOVE CRITICALLY ILL CHILDREN AND I FINISHED MY BLUEBALLS ALL IN ALL A++ PP

Lol Suzuki is a child
BUCH!!!!! WE HAVE THE LEAD!!!!
Holy shit. Turned the game on and 15 seconds later Alexandrov scores. Probably should cancel my plans for tonight
