[LightningStrikes]

This should be a close one. St. Louis is one hell of a team though so I wouldn't be surprised if they got away with the W.

 

[Daley Tarasenkshow]

FYI- Leopold is in for Cole, Porter in for Cracknell, and Halak is officially in net.

Good luck tonight, hope for no injuries!

Looking forward to a fun game tonight, no prediction though...

Hedman's goal off the boards was unbelievable. Sure he didn't intend it to go in but he did place it in a great spot for a post-angle rebound nonetheless. And think, he made that billiards shot in an away rink. Bishop was pretty amazing too, and that rolling upside down save was Brodeur-in-trouble-esque. There's a new Rollie the Goalie in the NHL

Yup, tonight's game is gonna be fun. Can't wait!

Anytime we play StL, I'm excited. It's Martin St. Louis versus his namesake town. But to win this game, we have to give up fewer than 3 PPs against us and forecheck effectively. The Blues are very deep up front and on D, so we need to bring a full 60 minutes tonight.

No word on who's starting yet?

no skate this morning you would think lindy would get some time on the ice if he was starter so I would assume bishop plays again. That is all could get out of twitter today.

if this turns out to be not watchable you can probably tune into the binghampton crunch game here

Will be a tough game against a good team, their first line is on fire but they also have depth in their lines and a solid D.

I actually think if we can stay out of the box we match up super well with killorn on top line him and stamkos are being more physical than the blues top line really

The Blues remind me a bit of the Bruins. Hoping I'm wrong, but I don't think we match up that well against their style.

Not many teams match up with the blues style in regular season. I think stamkos and killorn hit enough to equal backes steen line etc..

Their d is better then we are for sure. Will be tough sledding I have watched detroit on rolls for years go into st louis and get DUSTED like 6-0 more times than care to admit.

We have to equal them physicality and we have to stay out of the box and get some penalties and convert. Got to play a smart game and actually get a decent number of shots etc..

We can play with these guys. If we play well will be a 5 point game for both teams if not could be one sided or another pittsburgh type of game 6-5 etc..

I hope ben plays as well as last night. The blues think he is weak low. He was closing off the five hole well last night lets just hope he is as sharp again

 

[ManyIdeas]

Hopefully and entertaining and injury free game, folks.

Yeah. I think TB can skate with anyone. I'm really looking for Stamkos to bring his A-game tonight. Even with MSL wearing the C, Stammer has been the guy that's taken over games this year, and I'd like to see him do that for big games. Tonight's a game that the Lightning aren't really expected to win, so picking up 2 points would be huge. You want your top players digging deep in games like this.

We win 3-1 in regulation. Killorn, Stamkos, Thompson.

Need to win this game to keep pace with the Penguins.

 

[Necropolis]

Uh, that was a bit weak call. Oh well.

 

[jg39]

Bah...not a great start

 

[Necropolis]

C'mon

 

[LightningStrikes]

Meh. Let's get that one back on the PP!

 

[Necropolis]

PP time.

 

[Necropolis]

Are you ****ing kidding me Cooper? Playing Gudas on PP but not Hedman? Not that Gudas is bad (Hedman's better), but I'm a butt hurt fanboy.

 

[jg39]

Killorn!! Way to stay with it!

 

[LightningStrikes]

Killutch Killer!!!!!!

 

[Necropolis]

Kiiiiiiilller!

 

[jg39]

Mishkin said the goal by Killorn was the first even strength goal the Blues have conceded in 225 minutes. Nice!
