Go team, beat toupee mans team

 

[Stealth JD]

Maybe we'll get an early look at the 2023 defense, with Colt and Dunn gone:

Krug-Faulk
Scandella-Bortuzzo
Walman-Mikkola

So effing solid.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Need some players without 90 on their jersey to step up.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

McKinnon might cut through our D like a hot knife through butter.

 

[WeWentBlues]

 

[MissouriMook]

Schenn hat trick incoming.

Brandon Saad now injured and out for Colorado tonight. Rantanen and Donskoi remain out as well.

Colorado is going with Jonas Johansson in net.

Last game was encouraging. Before the season I penciled us in as a contender but we would need to prove it. Until now we haven't, but if we can finish strong against good opponents I can believe we can make a run (if we stay healthy)

 

[WeWentBlues]

If Krug can't go, it could get ugly with this group tonight.
Faulk
Scandella
Bortuzzo
Mikkola
Walman
Santini

Faulk
Scandella
Bortuzzo
Mikkola
Walman
Santini

Avs injuries continue to mount as well and the 3rd string goalie will be in net for them tonight. Guess it'll be a battle of depth.

Santini!

 

[Brian39]

Losing all of Parayko, Dunn and Krug would certainly be a blow.

Not sure what to make of those lines. If we go 11 forwards, then I have to expect that Sanford is the guy who sits. He certainly shouldn't be playing center.

 

[shpongle falls]

Why is Hoffman on the 4th line?

 

[Brian39]

Why is Hoffman on the 4th line?

Berube very obviously hates Hoffman's game at 5 on 5. Hoffman played 8:16 at even strength on Saturday and 10:52 on Thursday.

I believe that the plan tonight will be to use Sanford and Hoffman as extra forwards while mostly running 3 lines like we did Saturday.

 

[Celtic Note]

That lineup..... woof

 

[BlueOil]

Why is Hoffman on the 4th line?

he's being rebranded as an enforcer

 

[Blueston]

Jake Walman #3D. Didn't have that on my 2021 bingo card.

 

[BlueKnight]

I tried my best to refrain but gotta say it.

No Colt, No Dunn and potentially no Krug tonight YIKES!!

Just like I said the other day not having Pietrangelo anymore is looking worse and worse each passing game and this is one of those times not having him really hurts.

This is a game where the Blues should easily win some Avs players are out and we'll be facing the Avs 3rd string goaltender. I've already prepared myself to be let down. After the last game I was ready to believe but now they're not fooling me.

That is the end of my little rant for the day.

Anyways Let's go Blues!!!

This team may be greatly improved without Krug in the lineup. I’m hopeful we get a W tonight.

I believe.

I love Pie but isn’t it because we’re also out Colt, Vince and ehh alright, fine, Krug too?

 

[ezcreepin]

So I guess the Blues defense should be amazing since Krug is possibly out and Mikkola is in, yea??

 

[Majorityof1]

HF Blues Forum (1 month ago): Dunn is the worst player to ever attempt to play hockey. I never want to see him wear a Blue's jersey again. We should pay someone a first to take him.

Also HF Blues Forum (today): Oh noes!!! Dunn can't play. We are so screwed!!!!

*I know this is an exaggeration of both sides. I know its probably different posters saying these things. Its just a joke about how bi-polar this board (or all message boards in general) can seem at times.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

Santini!

someone needs to post a pic of Santini from the Princess Bride lol

edit: well, crap. could have sworn there was a Santini in Princess Bride... sigh
