GDT: Blues @ Islanders 1:00 PM ET

[542365]

I expect a shutout by Halak.

Came here to say the same thing. This has all the makings of a Jaro shutout

 

[seafoam]

BTW, we're down our three top defensemen and we may be icing two rookies on the backend (Reinhart & Pulock).

Sounds like we're going to get 50 shots and lose then, in vintage Jaro style.

 

[542365]

Steen out.

EDIT: Lindstrom in for him. This game is going to be lots of fun

 

[GoBluz24]

Steen out

 

[Alklha]

Hopefully nothing serious.

JR reporting Lindström's in for Steen.

Dammit.

Pulock was already sent back down wasn't he?

Dammit.

Yikes.

Our top 3? Huh?

 

[KirkOut]

I hope they just cut their losses with the 3rd line and then run O-S-B and S-L-T

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I miss Halak. I'll always root for him to do well.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Defensive pairings per JR:

Butler-Pietrangelo
Shattenkirk-Gunnarsson
Jackman-Lindbohm

Butler on the top pairing? Yikes.

 

[erderuft]

Totally wearing my Blues no41 Halak t-shirt right now. Not that I'm a huge fan or anything, just that I rarely have an opportunity to use it.

Hope we blow him out.

Defensive pairings per JR:

Butler on the top pairing? Yikes.

If the theory that Petro plays better with a bad partner, Petro should look like Lidstrom today

Butler hasn't been that bad, but I look forward to the day he's not in the lineup.

 

[KirkOut]

This has the makings for a long game...

 

[stlblues23*]

Why is Pajaarvi still on the team? He's not good.

 

[Robb_K]

JR reporting Lindström's in for Steen.

Dammit.

And Pääjärvi's in as well.

 

[erderuft]

We're playing in the wrong end guys. Please stop turning the puck over.

 

[Blanick]

The way this is starting I am calling a 6-0 rout for New York.

 

[Blanick]

Our 4th line the only line that can work the puck low.

 

[542365]

Got some zone time finally.

 

[542365]

The way this is starting I am calling a 6-0 rout for New York.

Certainly not a great start, but how many times have the Blues come out flying only to get dominated the second and third?

 

[Blanick]

This low angle is tripping me up.

 

[Note Worthy]

Take the shot Oshie.
