I am excited for tonight's game. I think it will be a better test of the "new look" Blues than the opener. Only scoring 2 against Talbot and the Oilers D makes me worry a little (just a little). But if we can put together a solid game on the road against a playoff caliber team, it will allay a lot of my fears.
I hope they put Fabbri on the Brouwer/Backes line tonight. Even though Jaskin is faster this year, Jaskin/Backes/Brouwer might be too slow for Minnesota. If Brouwer is injured, would much rather have Rattie on the roster than seeing Ott, Gomez or Upshall in the top 9.
