Remember when a trip to LA was an automatic loss?

You are SO lucky I didn't check 8 minutes ago......

I thought we had an understanding people?!?

Ehhh, the Games at 9PM Central time. It can wait until 5PM.

 

[skyrink]

Honestly....other than Kopitar, Brown, Edler, and maybe Kempe, I don't know anyone on their team!

The bad old days of the Blues clearly not having a Cup contending roster. In net, on D, and at center. But they were so well coached that they could outperform their talent in the regular season and give you so much hope. Ughhhh

That 2019 team had all the pieces fall in place at the right time.

Saad is back which is awesome. Do we know when ROR is projected to come back?

sunday is the first chance i think

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

If I'm understanding correctly Aaron Rogers is out for his game Sunday, and apparently LIED about being vaccinated for Covid? Its possible I had a bad source, but I think he's known to be out a minimum of 10 days which is the protocol for unvaccinated NFL players, otherwise he'd be eligible for 48 hour return with 2 negative tests. Pretty crazy. Even though the league is respecting his medical privacy, the details of his Covid protocol pretty much spell it out.

Anyway, very glad Saad is back and looking forward to getting ROR back too. If this kind of crap has to happen this season, let's get it over with now and not, say, in the playoff series.

Not to worry, COVID will just go away like magic in the spring.

Oh, wait, that line has been used before hasn’t it? Never mind.

 

[mk80]

Good to get Saad back. I saw on Twitter he said his symptoms were about as bad as a normal cold which is good to hear.

Best to get covid running it's course now hopefully with nothing major, than later in the season during the playoff push or playoffs.

Strictly by what Rodgers said, I don't think he lied about his vaccination status, but he certainly gave the impression that he was by saying he was "immunized." I would say he misled more than lied, but those two traits are frequently in good company with each other, so I wouldn't blame anyone thinking he lied.

Regardless, definitely not a good look.

How many boosters to get to the Cup?

 

[Zachary Hines]

Honestly it doesnt matter if get they get the shot or not. Plenty of athletes are still getting sick.

Apparently team and league knew. He mislead the media and public, but didn’t go all Kane on team or league. But rather crappy nonetheless.

Half a dozen.

Unless it's J&J

Kupari will be really interesting to watch. I was very high on him at draft. He had injury problems, but has work so much to get NHL. Shame he didn't fall out laps.

His shot is so fast, accurate and skating really smooth. Really hard to hold him down.

Watch out him.

The more players that are vaccinated, the less likely it is to be spread. Not to mention that symptoms are less severe and the odds of going to a hospital are greatly reduced. A vaccine could've saved Marco Rossi from a extremely difficult year and allowed more development time for him either overseas or here in NA. It's people's choice I guess, but it's a dumb choice not to take it if you are medically able to

10pm EST...lmao. GLHF boys.

 

[Stealth JD]

I'll be catching this one tomorrow morning. Here's to hoping it's worth the wait and waking up to winning hockey.

Let's go Blues.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Chance to sweep the Kings on the year. Also, if Hofer is starting next game, he’s 2 points are more important.

Right, he didn’t try to deceive the league, just the public and media. No way to really spin that where he doesn’t look like an ass.

Great user name. It made me sad when he sold his whole catalog, not exactly sure why.
