Colorado needs these points badly to stay within site of the playoff pack, this is going to be a pissed off bunch hitting town tommorow. The games with these guys tend to have a bit of an edge most times I think it will be ratcheted up even more tommorow! I cannot wait for this game maybe a little "Old Time Hockey" for a change

 

[BlueDream]

This is a big game for Colorado, they need to rack up some wins to stay in the playoff race.

So the Blues will have to play a good game. And judging by our past history of games before breaks, I'm not sure we'll fully show up. The last time we were zoned out of a game we got beat 5-0 by the Avs before Christmas.

 

[frostyflo]

Jaskin please.
Gonna need some heavy forecheck against these guys.

Fantastic elkranio!

[Meatball]

You'll have to explain the Berglund one though.

It's from the times he was pissing everyone on this board off. Just like Jar Jar.

Let's Go Blues!

I would prefer a crushing defeat of the Avalanche. Really sap the wind out of their Sails

[Oberyn]

Feel like the Avs are gonna come out and overwhelm us. Obligatory EJ goal as well. Blues will have to be on their A game or else the Avs might run away with this, they're a hungry team right now.

 

[ManyIdeas]

over/under:

3 points for EJ

 

[taylord22]

They didn't play very well against Toronto, so I'm that motivates everyone to really pour it all out tonight before the ridiculous 10 day break.

 

[elkranio]

Steen-Backes-Oshie
Berglund-Lehtera-Tarasenko
Schwartz-Stastny-Jaskin
Ott-Lapierre-Reaves

No Lindstrom per JR.

 

[Dbrownss]

I really hate Berglund with Lehteräsenko. But that's practice lines as of now so whateves..... least Lindstom is out

 

[Note Worthy]

Heading to the game tonight. Hope the Blues show up.

LGB.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

haha amazing GDT. I really hope they don't break up the STL line. Why not just have Berglund with Staz and Jaskin? They look great together let them build some chemistry.

I actually don't mind it that bad. Right now our offense is being carried by the SOB line, maybe a mix up could be beneficial and its not like we can't switch them back if everything fails. Berglund while not even close to the player of Schwartz caliber he is a strong possession player and can open up space. This also gives Stastny someone who can actually put the puck in a back of the net on a somewhat consistent basis.

Yea it could be worse. Just seems that Berglund is the worst linemate for them, seems to really slow those 2 down. But as you said, it can be corrected in all of 2 seconds.

Excellent GDT

 

[KirkOut]

A+ GDT

 

[Lord Helix]

But shooting pucks at people without helmets is sooo much fun.

You're a beaut, elk.

 

[Ranksu]

I don't understand Hitch logic why on earth he puts Begsy 2nd line with Lehterä and Tarasenko and brakes STL?
