Oh his way to Boston

Yes Hughes moved to LW, Bratt is scratched, Hayden back in, Domingue starts.

 

[None Shall Pass]

I'm guessing they put Hayden in for the Dad's Trip.

 

[AfroThunder396]

This is so f***ing stupid. Bratt is literally the 5th best skater on the team right now

Who is ready to celebrate Cinco Domingo?

Who is ready to celebrate Cinco Domingo?

Is that when you give up 5 goals in the first period?

It's any time our boy Domingue gives up 5, which could be the first period tonight lol

Bratt just got the first star of the game on Sunday and now he's scratched cause he has to bring it more lol...granted a bit of a dubious first star, but still hilarious timing.

It could be something as simple as Bratt being late to a meeting or practice. It wouldn't surprise me if they'd hide that it's disciplinary by saying he needs a game off to learn.

It's interesting that they're trying Hughes on wing. It may be reading into it a bit, but I wonder if this is an audition/trial to see if he's capable there in the eventuality we draft a stud C with our first pick.

I'm glad you put that last thing in because it should've been Blackwood by a landslide. I think this is more for the Dads trip though and is a gesture.

Definitely think you are reading into it too much. This is more so the coaching staff FINALLY waking the hell up and realizing starting a severely undersized, offensive minded kid at center in the friggin NHL is a terrible idea more often than not.

This change should have been made 10 games into the season. Let Hughes adapt to the NHL game with less defensive responsibilities on the wing, where he can also play a more free flowing game.

It blows my mind two different head coaches kept jamming him at center despite clear struggles and little progress. Two complete jabronis.

Ironically, this prob isn't even them realizing their mistakes. It may be out of necessity post Hall, Coleman trades and Bratt injury.

 

[I Hate Tie DOMI]

Hynes is Nasreddine/Nasreddine is Hynes

They share a brain and that brain is on drugs.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

I don't like scratching Bratt but I really hate moving Hughes to LW. Hughes is probably going to look better at LW because it's an easier job and then what do you do with that information? Hughes needs to become an impact top 6 center, there's just no other path forward for the franchise.

Have Hayden get in during the Dad's trip in a lost season? Fine.

Scratch Bratt of all people to do that? ...

giving a guy a kick in the ass from time to time isn't gonna hurt anyone

The Blues are really slumping, 2-6-2 in their L10, luckily they’re in the west so it’s not a fatal slide. Their current 5 game losing streak includes 3 home losses, both those streaks are the longest of their season.

I’m not sure why St Louis is struggling right now. They must be due for a win but this game feels like something we will win before losing to the Sharks in NJ in the next game.

Edit: Whoops, forgot about who’s in goal, so a win would be super fluky. You’re welcome St Louis.

It's insane that we basically win every game with Blackwood and lose every game with Domingue, but here we are. @Bleedred this has to be the end of Domingue's career right? Everyone could pretend he was good when he was putting up numbers behind Tampa's defense against cream puff teams, but his performance this year really cannot be ignored. I think we would have been better off with Senn.

That's my final straw, Nas needs to go. Was this some sort of punishment for Bratt winning the game Sunday?

 

[OmNomNom]

maybe bratt was slacking during practice

Yes Hughes moved to LW, Bratt is scratched, Hayden back in, Domingue starts.
