Is it just me or does our 2nd and 3rd pairing make a lot more sense as

Dunn - Bort
Gunnar - Schmaltz

As opposed to
Gunnar - Bort
Dunn - Schmaltz

I get that you want the Gunnar Bort option as a shutdown pairing but I absolutely despise watching those two together on the ice. Also, Dunn Bort wasn't a bad pairing early on.

Aye, comrade!

Maybe Tarasenko is frustrated with the continued military industrial complex and the continued deregulation of the private state oligarchy?

I hate Tarasenko on the point nearly as much as I hate Steen back there. It’s really neck and neck.

Blues need to realize they don't have a ton of skill out there, stop trying to make cute pass plays and put the puck on net

can we just give up on the 4 forwards plan? it doesn't work no matter how you shuffle it

Maybe we should try the seldom-seen 4 defensemen plan on the PP:

Dunn-Bortuzzo-Tarasenko
Gunnarsson-Schmaltz

Then you’ve got your top pairing ready for the next face-off after the inevitable goal that they’d score.

Stop the ****ing crying over NN. The internet was fine before 2015 and it's still going to be fine.

I don't think things are going to get as bad as some are making it out to be but thinking that "it's going to fine" is a little naive.

But anyway to stay on topic. The Blues need to tighten up play and simplify their game if they want come away with a win.
