Let's try this again, shall we?

With some preparation at the start.

We are making these Canadian teams look good.

 

[Blueston]

How awesome is it that Steen plays his 1000th game in his hometown?

 

[Ranksu]

Gunnar shouldn't play. Jets are playing extra physical game, it would be right move Bortuzzo play over Gunnar.

They are super desperate now. I'm kind of bit afraid this match up now. So security like Bortuozzo would be ideal.

Laine is dangerous so just for having Bortuzzo blocking at PK will be difference maker.

Intersting to see had Chief adjusted.

How awesome is it that Steen plays his 1000th game in his hometown?

Very fitting. A few years ago he was pretty much a guarantee to score a goal or two every game against the Jets. Feasted on that hometown team.

Go Blues. Looking for a bounce back win tonight. I’m feeling a two goal night from Ivan Barbashev. Heard it here first, folks.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

I’d guess MacEachern and Bortuzzo will be in tonight for Kyrou and Gunnarsson.

 

[Blueston]

I’d guess MacEachern and Bortuzzo will be in tonight for Kyrou and Gunnarsson.

Let's hope.

 

[BlueKnight]

Good for Steener, 1000 games is a hell of an accomplishment. Let's hope the boys can mark the occasion by getting back on the right track.

 

[brokeu91]

Let's get back on the winning track. I'm predicting Blais scores one tonight.

[BlueDream]

MacEachern, Brouwer and Bortuzzo in for Kyrou, DLR and Gunnarsson. I like it.

[Stealth JD]

Brouwer back from the dead. Feel bad for Schenn.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Brouwer back from the dead. Feel bad for Schenn.

Schenn could use a spark

 

[Zizzle]

Doubt Brouwer plays another game. Bortuzzo should be in!

 

[WATTAGE4451]

Schenn could use a spark

I dont think brouwer is the one who is gonna provide it.

I dont understand why brouwer is here. Walker looked fine when he was up earlier. Why not give him another chance?

 

[BlueKnight]

Let's go Blues

 

[DangledUpinBlues]

Well, here we go I guess.

 

[scottyajak]

nice start

 

[Sgt Schultz]

I finally get to see a Blues game from start to finish, thanks to NHLN.

 

[DangledUpinBlues]

I'm sure there's a metric butt-ton of skill involved there, but it looked like that shot was directly at Binner's glove. Like when you're growing up playing catch with your dad and he says "hold your glove open" and then throws the ball in there.

 

[Robb_K]

Let's hope Steen plays like he's 24, and gets a hat trick in front of his home crowd!

 

[Robb_K]

The Blues have come out with a lot of energy and a relentless forecheck, just as Berube wanted. But Blues' passing has been sloppy at times, and they need to watch out for covering up for their teammates, as The Jets still have lots of speed and offensive skill.

 

[Dbrownss]

Very cool of the Jets to do that for Steen

 

[Robb_K]

The Blues are playing really well, winning most of the races to the puck, and the puck battles. That has brought them several good chances. But Hellebuyck has risen above his normal level, to stop 3 or 4 shots that i thought would go in. They just need to keep playing this way, and they'll win.
