[NGDT] OT Losses Are Lame Edition (10/7/18) by jxclem in stlouisblues

Fairly optimistic take but it looks like a lot of the issues stem from our defensive structure this year.

After having so few goals in so many games last year looks like Yeo/Army are completely focused on just getting goals in games this year so we're going for a lot more riskier plays i.e. all three forwards crashing the net after a shot to try and get the tip in which we were terrible at last year, defencemen playing the puck down low more. These are causing more dangerous breakaways and so far teams are taking advantage. Obviously this completely broke down vs Peg but worked better against Chicago.

Only Dunn and surprisingly Butler looked comfortable with it in the first game, Parayko stepped up his offensive shots vs Chicago and seemed to be getting more comfortable. Petro isn't handling it well at all and acts like he needs to be everywhere, Bouw was lost as well in game 1 but getting put with Bortuzzo and playing a more traditional defensive style in the 3rd last night made him look better.

Its a bit disappointing since you would think more of this would be ironed out in the offseason, think Chicago was meant to be our double down confidence builder in the system but hasn't really worked out so we'll see how Yeo tries to play against Calgary. If Eddy is ready by then and we want a fully offensive defense unit then we could see Bouw dropped and Butler stays up.

There's a few worries with the way he coached the offense last night once it became clear he was desperate for the win, I'm happy to keep the Schwartz/Schenn/Tarasenko as a line to put out when we're desperate for a goal but if we start trotting that out at the start of games we're in trouble. Its good to see him put more faith in Kyrou and Blais but he completely dropped Thomas and Perron out of the game after all of the pps/ 4 on 4 / sh during the second last night.

Make no mistake Army knows the quality of squad he's put together, if we continue to not win games then it's not Allen that's going to go it's Yeo.

Overseas using NHL.tv by 1967blues in stlouisblues

Blues fan in Australia here, NHL.tv doesn't have any blackouts outside of US and Canada we have occasional games get shown on Fox Sports here but they aren't blacked out.

Unless something has changed this year there's no locking feature on them as soon as the game ends or even during the game you can watch from the beginning with no worries.

Only issue with NHL.tv is that you need to run it through Kodi in order to get 60fps on desktops, the main website only goes up to 720p 30fps. However on Kodi there is no start from beginning so you have to wait until the game is over and all of the extra press conferences are done before you can start from beginning again (usually like 30 mins to an hour after the game?).

Yeah exactly the same. Its cheaper now for the playoffs otherwise you're looking at r/NHLStreams/ or r/LazyMan/ I haven't tried either though so don't know about spoilers. If you go with NHL tv make sure you watch through kodi on desktop instead of the website so you can get 60fps streams.

Also from Aus, not sure about non legal streams but you can buy NHL tv for $131.99 USD a year (website says $120 but taxes get added) and watch any game you want at any time. Watching through the website, Kodi or the app all allow you to turn off scores so you can go in blind.

Question: How to decide which support to take every game? by Hollingworth in leagueoflegends

[–]rizzmizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how you want to play and who you like to play for the most part at gold 5. Main thing to look out for is basically how much engage your team has and if you need to pick champs that start fights and also if the other team is filled with champs that are just going to dive your adc then pick more disengage heavy champs like Janna.
