I think the Blues look very strong on paper, just my opinion. Should be a tough one, excited for tonight! LGR!

“@AGrossRecord: No surprise but #NYR lines appear same as in practice this week so Hayes and Malone would be out.”

 

[FLNYR]

This is like waiting for Christmas as a kid! LGR!

for what it's worth, the majority of blues fans like this year's lineup much more than last year. much better team in my opinion. Hitchcock has taken the approach of not really having a true #1 line. Top 3 lines can produce... The listed 3rd line may surprise you. Lehtera is an animal.

Good luck tonight. looking forward to a good game.

 

[nyrpassion]

Yessssss. We're back!

 

[Kakko]

Let's do this

I wish Fast kept #91. Numbers in the 90's look badass. Reminded me of Bure / Stamkos when he wore 91, haha!

19 is fine though.

Hayes chose 13, and it looks like either Duclair is going to stick with 63, or the Rangers are waiting until after the 9-game set to see if he stays with the team before they allow him to choose a permanent sweater number (most likely the latter, IMO).

Shockingly, I agree with you regarding Fast. I love that number and numbers in the 90's are awesome.

This.

Blues are overrated.

Blues are going to be one of the best teams in the NHL this year. Bank it.

I'm sure they will be.

Out in 6 in the Quarters.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

The Blues are just a very well constructed team, not at all unlike the Rangers.

This should be a good game tonight, but I'm not going to be alarmed if we lose. This team just needs to weather the storm until Stepan gets back.

Coached by the fat man, Ken Hitchcock. But he's still a pretty good coach, won the cup with Dallas I think.

The fat man did have a cup in Dallas, but he can't get you to the finals like AV!

 

[KingStian]

Damn it's good to be back. I miss hockey in the summer.

 

[AHB*]

I'm sure they will be.

Ok....

Maybe i'm the only one but Stastny is going to make a big difference.

I agree, they'll win at least a round, but not unless Allen outplays Elliot for the starting position.

 

[NYR89]

Tough draw to open with one of the better teams in the league. At least it's not a ridiculous road trip to start the season.

 

[AHB*]

I don't know that they'll do anything. Playoffs have become a crap shoot these days especially in the West where there are many strong teams.

They might get another awful first round match up. Who knows. Regardless, they are a very very good team. Would probably be the favorite to win the East if they were in it.

 

[LORENZO]

Wish I could stay up for this one tonight boys!!

I guess Hayes will be my new favorite if hes rocking the 13.

Sorry, I thought we all wanted to make the SCF again, my bad.

Kidding, Winnie is only making an appearance for tonight. I'll be finding a new good luck charm within due time.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

I'm a little worried about St Louis' physical game. That 4th line of Ott-Lapierre-Reaves wreaks of tomfoolery.
