Half-Assed. Like how the Blues play in the first half of the first period. I love it!

Soooooo….

We've been good for the most part in first games of a series and lousy for the most part in the second games except the Anaheim game. Does the third game in the series continue to get worse or is there some magical formula where, in the third game of a regular season series, we flip a switch and suddenly realize what it's like to play engaged for an entire 60 minutes?

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Are we only good in game 1s?
Do we only suck in game 2s?
Is it an odds and evens thing?

Find out today!

Finally an early game. Too late though, my sleeping schedule is already f***ed up.

 

[KirkOut]

Just pull the goalie for the opening faceoff, we’ll win 45-15

I knew Binnington was the problem.

 

[Dr Robot]

I knew Binnington was the problem.

His point totals don't justify his ice time, especially being out there with the top line and PP. It's clear he was bringing down the orielly line last game.

 

[Zamadoo]

Interested to see the lines after Chief called out the lack of work ethic and changed practice lines.

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

He’s been on the ice for nearly every goal this year

I work four hours out of town, and wouldn't you know it, this game starts exactly when my shift does.

Sniper's going to be over here poking his nosey nose into things, and being all nice and social and crap, and I won't be able to do a darn thing about it.

Apologies in advance. I'll get him next time.

Let's go Blues!!!

Let's hope for a better start than on Thursday.

The most important thing you did at least was make sure the thread was live. That’s priority #1 around here

We'll dominate tonight. Easy pick imo.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Almost missed this one.

Assumed it was at 7.

Good thing I checked.

[Nederlander]

Game is on NHL network for those of us living outside the St. Louis area.

 

[Stlblue50]

Still amazed that Stone got NOTHING from the league. You would think a fine and something on his “record” would be a no brainer.

 

[Note Worthy]

Husso in net

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Husso in net. Hoffman on the top line. Sanford out (flu), Blais is a game-time decision. MacEachern is the possible replacement

 

[KirkOut]

Husso in net

Lol, yes the classic put 3 centers on one line and 3 wingers on another line technique

 

[tfriede2]

Has Blais ever played center? That might be interesting

 

[brokeu91]

Lol, yes the classic put 3 centers on one line and 3 wingers on another line technique

It's Berube's master plan

 

[Ranksu]

Just saw the same.

Btw in NHL21, Blais is pretty darn good gm mode playing center (elite).

Maybe Chief has played NHL21 too.
