Hofer not having a good night.
And delay of game by Hofer man… 🙁 I’m just disappointed
yeet that fucker into the crowd, Hofer. Fuck that puck
Not to be overly negative only down one but just doesn’t feel like it’s going to be our night.
Been a long time since I’ve seen a goalie put one in the crowd like that. I knew as soon as he double pumped that it was going in the seats.

Pop quiz: What was the last good move Army made for our defense? Today, we throw Bortz away for peanut shells and get more Tucker. Yay. I’m losing faith in him.
Guess I’m starting the push-ups now despite it being Friday night and I work at a bar.
Snuggerud scored a sick between the legs goal in the Ohio St. Minnesota game tonight
It kinda drives me nuts when they do long interviews during the game. Do those over the intermission instead of having Bernie vamp and read directly from his slides for 10 minutes
Armstrong sucks. We win a cup and he sets to immediately dismantling the roster
What’s this team have against critically I’ll children?
This team absolutely hates criticality ill children
Who is on the radio with Kerbs tonight?? Sorry I turned in late.
No shots on the pp

WTF is Rivers on about now? Tucker was awful on that shift. He’s damn near as bad a delusional homer as the Colorado doofus.
Hofer is not exactly instilling confidence
Can we get kyrou back on the pp please.
Tyler Tucker don’t got it I think. Career ahler
Fuck straight off, refmonkeys.
I’ve never seen a team backup with the puck so much. Attack is not in their vocabulary.
Hmm I’ll take it lol
The lack of sog is embarrassing, Columbus gives up about 34 sog a game.
Make up call for the 4 on 4 BS.
Weak call, but I didn’t see the 4on4 call so idk how made up it is
JAKEY
SMASH
If Kyrou could have put that shot on net he it would have been a goal.
Damnit Kyrou, hit the net!
Columbus isn’t even playing well. Knew this would be a frustrating one.
On the bright side the third period is Columbus’ worst period
I’ve seen enough of Tucker, can we please bring Rosen back and play him. He’s the 5th or 6th best D man in the org.
I’m really trying to give Jamie a fair shake, but I find him wholly uninteresting. He’s already repeating the same shitty anecdotes/quips from prior games. He doesn’t add much, if anything, to the commentary. I really miss Panger.
Guys, I’ve made a realization watching this sorry excuse of a game on a Friday night.
This Blues team sucks. And they’re miserable to watch. All those advanced stats and projections that had us finishing bottom five in the league, they were right. I so badly wanted to dunk on them but dammit they were right. We suck.
Thomas, Kyrou, Neighbours, Parayko, Buchnevich, Binnington. Build around them, everybody else is expendable. These guys like Schenn, Kapanen, Hayes, Vrana, Blais, Saad, they’re roster filler. These are fourth line guys asked to play a top six role and this is why we can’t score. Neutralize Kyrou and Thomas and you’re pretty much guaranteed to win.
Playoffs? They ain’t happening. With this mid ass team combined with a division of Col, Dal, Win and then Nash, Arizona and Minny surging I can say the only team we’re better than is Chicago. Yeah, no playoffs this year.
I’m confident Armstrong can keep accumulating assets like he did last year. Dvorsky looks very promising, so does Snuggeruud. Really hoping for a high pick this year to draft a D man.
2 primary assists so far tonight for Dvorsky. 1st was a face-off win goal and the other was a beautiful seam pass on the powerplay.
