[Mike Liut]

Wish the team played this well in front of Allen. The team has been brutal lately. Hopefully this is the start of getting back to basics.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Marty secretly wants to be a forward.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Jaskin - Stastny - Rattie

I wouldn't mind trying it. Run SOB and then bump Berglund up to the Tarasenko line.

 

[Ranksu]

I don't know what you guys think, but Lapierre played tonight well. Very good forecheck and he was flying and carrying puck more then usually. Would that be case he was playing on wing?

 

[Robb_K]

I think the players knew this could be Marty's last game as a Blue. Can't think of a better way to end it than with a SO. I'm hoping he stays with the team since Allen didn't exactly inspire any confidence with his play, but it may not be logistically possible.

IF he stays for a while, it will be more for insurance against Elliott re-injuring himself. Groin injuries have that as a decent possibility.

 

[KirkOut]

Did anybody notice how disinterested Stastny looked during the 3 stars thing?

He's a low-key guy.

 

[Dbrownss]

With Porter and Pääjärvi out. Perfect opportunity for Rattie with a B2B against the super cats.

 

[BlueDream]

Great game tonight, we looked awesome.

Cool to see Marty get that SO.

 

[Oberyn]

SOB
STL
Sobotka-Stastny-Jaskin

That's the dream top nine for me come playoff time.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Jaskin and Rattie looked great together this season. Last season they rarely played on the same line, but it was a mainstay since game one this season. They have proven chemistry.

 

[BlueDream]

Wouldn't call him a wrecking ball, but if we release Brodeur, we need another future Hall of Famer on the team.

Steve Ott?

 

[Meatball]

Jaskin - Stastny - Rattie

Well. He's a pure shooter, right?

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

SOB
STL
Sobotka-Stastny-Jaskin

That's the dream top nine for me come playoff time.

I still feel like a Sobotka return might be a bit awkward. Wasn't a very good departure.

 

[KirkOut]

He's a low-key guy.

I know I was just joking

Thoughts:

Reaves did a respectable job out there. Porter's injury looked graphic. Tarasenko's shot was awesome. Butler was a beaut on that play, no surprise. Brodeur looked sharp. Petro was great. Jaskin deserves to be here.

Plus having a big guy like Jaskin would hopefully open up some space for Rattie. Now's the time to try stuff like this.

Pretty sure elliott had an MCL injury to his knee Robb. I think the groin is good.

I'm telling you my sarcasm detector is off with all the Petro trade talk.

I originally thought torn MCL and the timeline fits that.

Vladimir Tarasenko rocket wrist shot goal 3-0

That's why!

You need a different kind of detector for the Petro trade talk.

 

[Meatball]

Not to mention that the quota is filled on grinding, physical types.

We need a shooter.

It's too late, it's messed me all up.

Agreed, like it's been mentioned in this thread, it's time to see Rattie get a chance while Jaden is out and before we decide to make a deal.

 

[Jeffro]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Rattie recalled for tomorrow because he doesn't require waivers, but I think Porter's spot is going to end up filled by Colin Fraser.

Actually, just remembered recall waivers aren't a thing anymore.

I agree that it should be Rattie, but I don't think it will be.
