Are the Blues starting Allen or Marty?


Hoping its Marty, probably gonna be Allen though

 

[Avs71]

Stastny and Shatty both with 4 point games.

It'll be interesting seeing Brodeur in a Blues jersey.

Sucks the Avs come from behind win is followed by playing the Blues. Doubtful this is a game they build off, but since I predicted a five game win streak led by Iginla, in jest, and he came through last game, I guess I should be sticking to thinking the Avs will win this one. But I don't.

Pickard is a little weak up high, and Tarasenko has a wicked shot.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Rendulic scores 2 goals and begins his journey to becoming the greatest Croatian born hockey player of all time.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Stastny and Shatty both with 4 point games.

lindström with gordie howe hatty.

 

[ASmileyFace]

I'd be surprised if Stastny doesn't pot one or two tonight.

Not feeling super positive about this one. Thinking 2-3 blues. Staz with the game winner late in the third.

 

[tigervixxxen]

It's Allen. We play the Blues 2x more in the next two weeks, we'll have plenty of time to see Marty.

 

[frog]

avs get blown out. Whenever they show us a little hope they break our hearts once again

 

[JWK]

8 point night for Stastny IMO.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Yeah I'll be shocked if they win this one. I don't think it will be a blowout though, these games are usually pretty good and the Avs will bring their A game. But it will suck to sit on this one until Thursday.

 

[landy92mack29]

everberg better be on the 3rd line over mcleod

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

 

[Hasbro]

Nice to see Bozak + 2nd back.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Nice to see Bozak + 2nd back.

Bozak and a 2nd would look real good right about now.

 

[Pokecheque]

Bozak and a 2nd would look real good right about now.

Not really. Maybe the 2nd I suppose.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Not really. Maybe the 2nd I suppose.

He's been alot better than most of our players this year.

 

[dahrougem2]

Not really. Maybe the 2nd I suppose.

A guy who has almost identical numbers to Stastny while being just as good defensively and a much, much better skater wouldn't look good here? I beg to differ.

Anyways, I think we win this one if Allen is in net. IIRC he seems to have real bad games against us, be it in Denver or in St. Louis. Gonna say 4-2 Avs, Stastny held off the scoresheet and MacKinnon with a 2 goal game to stick it to Backes

 

[Lord Moriarty007]

Hopefully we have a nice scrum tonight.

 

[dahrougem2]

Also OP, I'm guessing Roy will stick with the lines that won us the game in the 3rd with Tanguay-Duchene-Iginla and Landeskog-ROR-MacKinnon

 

[Hans Landaskog]

Also OP, I'm guessing Roy will stick with the lines that won us the game in the 3rd with Tanguay-Duchene-Iginla and Landeskog-ROR-MacKinnon

It was mentioned on twitter somewhere that those would be the starting lines.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I fear the Terrorsenko.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Sadowdki usually has more quotes but he outdid himself today

Barrie, EJ, Landy, Staz and Duchene all at one dinner? I would pay a ton of money to be a part of that. My 4 favourite players and Duchene who I am starting to love more and more every season.

 

[umdieecke*]

Quite honestly, if Stastny has a big game, it wouldn't speak well of him considering the season he's having. It absolutely and completely would raise the question, "why doesn't he play like that more often."

Really not sure how a Colorado fan could be a fan of Barrie, EJ and Landy before being a Duchene fan. How anyone couldn't like the guy from draft day is confusing. /Shrug
