Dallas has one of the ugliest logos in the NHL. You Americans cannot into design!

 

[medkit]

I'm surprised Eaves is on that 2nd line. I would have expected Sharp in the top 6.

 

[BiggestE22]

Those lines for Dallas are really way wrong. Sharp plays with BennGuin. Nichusckin is playing with Spezza and Hemsky...

Stolen from the Dallas GDT from 2-weeks ago.

 

[Vladdy the Impaler]

Ughhhhh Brouwer on the second line.

​

That 3rd line just wanna break Hitch's neck (Upshall 3rd line) and Jaskin 4th line.. Why Hitch break working Fabbri - Lehterä - Jaskin?


If I got power in my hands, I would run these lines

Pääjärvi - Stastny - Tarasenko
Steen - Backes - Fabbri
Jaskin - Lehterä - Rattie
Upshall - Gomez - Brouwer/Reaves

 

[Ranksu]

One thing also Edmundson pressbox

Oh they kept Parayko - Shattery together.

 

[stl76]

FWIW I wish they would keep Fabbri - Lehterä - Jaskin together. They have been great...seemed like they had serious chemistry and were JUST starting to produce!

Glad to see Parayko and Shatty playing together again. Really liked the way they looked against Boston. Same with Bortuzzo.

Glad to see Parayko again on the left side opposite Shattenkirk on The 2nd pairing, rather than moving down to The 3rd, with Gunnarsson returning. He's looking more and more comfortable on the left, and I believe that is the answer to The Blues' overload on the right, for next season and beyond.

Totally agree, very disappointed to see Hitch break a line that was starting to produce and also develop chemistry.

On paper our lines aren't stacking up well to Dallas!

 

[Kreegz2]

I agree, but at the same time I think that Upshall has earned himself a look with some slightly more skilled linemates. He's been playing great lately.

 

[Dbrownss]

Jaskin was moved down to the 4th to center the line because he can play center. I thought upshall could but I guessed wrong.

Brouwer can and easily is better on FO then Jaskin. I think they just try to give all icetime for PTO's. Also force to play Brouwer top6 makes me wanna...

I'll wait full bash when all are healthy and who are going to sit pressbox.

121 days and Hitch and hopelly Army too get fired.

 

[Colton Parayko]

When is Schwartz going to be back? Lineup looks kinda bad without him.

I didn't think that 4th line was terrible. If they moved Brouwer down then you move upshall up to the 2nd line

Jaskin was only playing a 195' game and therefore must be punished down to the 4th line. Next stop is the pressbox if he keeps cheating Hitch of that last 5'

 

[Overkamp]

When is Schwartz going to be back? Lineup looks kinda bad without him.

At least another month or so.

Upshall may have been playing well lately, but so had that Jaskin line. At this point Upshall is a fourth line player on this team.

 

[timtindall]

5-2 blues

 

[elkranio]

I wonder if we still play like **** after long breaks.

 

[Overkamp]

We will know in the first five minutes.

I didn't realize how far ahead Dallas was in the division. Four games difference. Yikes.

 

[BlueDream]

I'm still pissed they got rid of their jerseys from the 90s and early 2000s. Those were perfect, why change it?

Anyways, I didn't even realize we had a back to back this quickly. We've been playing a ton of games lately but this will be a lot of fun to watch Tarasenko vs Benn.

I always thought they were ugly..minus when they were the North Stars.
