LGB. Vova with a big night. Kid cant miss the net forever.

This is one of those games that we have to win. We have already left so many points on the table against "weaker" competition. I would really like to see an offensive explosion out of ROR tonight. His overall game has been fine but I feel like the offense just hasn't been there this year yet.

Minnesota is running away with the division. Colorado jumped us with their win last night and still have 2 games in hand. That leaves us in a dog fight with Nashville, Winnipeg and Dallas. We can not afford to lose to a team on the bottom of the Eastern Conference. I am begging the boys, don't play down to them.

I like that he's trying to pick corners again tho. and he DEF has some velocity on that wrist shot. wowzers

If you look at the underlying metrics, the Stars and Jets are playing at about their potential. I think both of those teams should be playing better, but it doesn't really seem to be the case despite their players racking up points. I do agree though, we need to start converting on these bad teams. The pacific isn't a pushover right now and the central is pretty tight. Get some space while you can and take these teams out by the trade deadline.

Hey, we found a team more messed up than we are!

Yeah his shot is starting to look a lot like old Vladi... and by that I mean missing the net and rimming all the way around the boards and out of the offensive zone.

 

[Zachary Hines]

Do we have lines yet?

No morning skate so should know when Berube meets with media soon.

well, if nothing else, it proves he's got some steam on it!

 

[GoldenSeal]

[Moose and Squirrel]

not bad considering the team in front of him

and a game under 500, iirc, last year when they made their "run"

he is what he is, and avg backup goalie

 

[Blueston]

Jake Allen was a mediocre goalie here but a true Blue. Not everyone would be as supportive when they lost their job, but he was a total pro and great teammate as he we made our Cup run. I hope he gets rousing ovation tonight from our fans in his return. And that we beat him soundly.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

LETS GOOOOO

[Moose and Squirrel]

OT: who's read the book "the rebel league"?

 

[Blanick]

Lets Go Blues. Don't give them any life.

 

[BlueKnight]

I'd like to see Jake get an ovation but other than that screw him. Go Blues.
