Injury Report: 2016-17 Blues Injury Report (Stastny back)

[STL BLUES]

That's what I think. I think he had a hairline fracture, and will miss the 1st 2 games of Series 1. That will have put him out about 4.5 weeks.

And we all know that when the boot goes off and the skate goes on we have atrophy. He probably is ineffective for about two weeks post boot. Sobotka is our knight in shining armor.

Stastny walking around the locker room today with no boot and no limp. When asked if he and Bortuzzo will be ready, Yeo said "we'll see" with a grin.

He might not be back for game 1 but 4 weeks out could get him back for game 3 so he'd probably be ready by then. If we can split 1-1 in Minnesota, that'd be pretty big.

Every post I see from you is one of cockiness. I know you aren't a new fan, so what gives? This is the Blues in the playoffs we're dealing with

He thinks in extremes. Every team is either the best team in the league or the worst. Every player either great or terrible. There is no in between in his mind.

I have a close friend who thinks like this and it can be so annoying sometimes.

you will see my playoff predictions as soon as the edmonton/anaheim division winner is confirmed

 

[BlueDream]

Minnesota is pretty damn good. I understand wanting to face them rather than Chicago but this is going to be an extremely tough series still.

I am sure everyone else realizes that though.

I sure hope you are right. You can make some pretty arrogant statements with your predictions, but this is one time I hope you get to enjoy being 100% right and tell us all how smart you are.

Its a symptom of borderline personality disorder, but don't misunderstand: I'm not saying that about any specific individual and not about any posters based on that scant information.

A blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then...but I'll admit, I'm glad Dizee was right for once

Wow I must find them pretty much every other day regarding this team then.

 

[Dbrownss]

Well...as annoying as it is....dizee has been right about Allen and this series so far.


Dizee....how do we get a 1c? Work your black magic on Tavares....telepathically convince him he wants to come to Stl

jake playing too good and team havent even played a B game yet in front of him IMO. if they go up 3-0 i wont mind a sweep though . all you have to do is look at the wild post game reactions, they are done its just up to the blues to finish em off and not let em back in. that means no soft garbage goals and stay out of the box.

blues team has been insane on the road for last lil bit which is saying something considering how crap they were until like mid january. i dont see em losing on the road until they play in chicago. chicago/la/ana only teams that will give blues fits on the road. nashville too maybe if rinne stand on his head.

 

[BlueDream]

I almost forgot he said that. That's amazing.

Im not going to lie, I think game 2 was a B game from this line-up.

The Blues played very well in game 2. The team defence was excellent. They kept The Wild out of the middle and harassed them in all 3 zones. The forwards got back all game and The Blues' skaters kept the gap between the forwards and the defencemen at a good level. The Wild took a lot of poor chance shots. Yes, the hit a post and the crossbar once each, but so did The Blues. The Blues team defence almost got a shutout, if it hadn't been for the unfortunate 2 unnecessary penalties taken too close together. The Blues were great in the physical game, putting The Wild off their game and timing.

I'd call it a B+ game, at the very least on the road.

Game 1 was like a d- bordering on F.

Was game 1 more of the being really good or the Blues being really bad? Game 2 seemed more evenly matched. Did the Blues step up, or did the Wild come back to earth?

The Blues stepped up. Their weak play allowed The Wild to dominate possession and shots and scoring chances in Game 1. For most of game 2, The Blues dictated play, and that's why they won.

 

[TheDizee]

game 1 was blues being really garbage. game 2 they were alright, i guess a C-

i expect a big homestand from them here.

Yeah,, I thought before the 5 on 3 PP, the Blues had them on their heals.
