[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Voted for Vlad. He’s in a contract year, he’s gonna come out swinging.

 

[Allens Five Hole]

Torey Krug on the PP at 4:53 of the First Period on the PP assisted by Buch and Thomas

Edit: Forgot to mention this would be on the PP

 

[Reality Czech]

Brandon Saad (Kyrou, O'Reilly) even strength at 8:25 of first period. Hey why not?

 

[STL fan in MN]

Buchnevich from Thomas and Krug. 3:37 into the 1st period on Saturday.

 

[BlueDream]

Nathan Walker, not a difficult choice.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Schenn (unassisted), 1st period (5:01) even strength

 

[MissouriMook]

Nathan Walker, not a difficult choice.

And I thought I was going to be the only one.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!! Oi, Oi, Oi!!!

121 regular season and playoff game streak without being shut out will become 122 on Saturday

Barbashev even strength goal between the 14 and 16 minute mark of the first period

That is such a crazy and weird stat, now I'm curious what the actual record is.

Current streak is 18th all-time, we are also 23rd during 09-11.

Curiosity killed the cat.

Blues are 18th and climbing. 5 more games to reach NJ 126 game streak. But a long way to go to #1

HOWEVER. 9 more games to have the longest such streak since 1991. Ottawa at 129 ended in 2015

Yeah, I edited my post, surprised how easy it was to find.

 

[PocketNines]

77 games from tying the Gretzky Oilers at #7. Even if they played 28 playoff games this year they can't catch #6 Boston until next year at the earliest.

23 more games without a shutout gets them tied with mid-80s Washington at #11

edit: I am curious too

Current streak is 18th all-time, we are also 23rd during 09-11. The Sens had one for 129 from 13-15, and it only included 1 playoff game.

Jesus, 264. Three straight seasons of not being shutout, that’s nuts.

Can’t see that being broken anytime soon.

When it is, I blame you.

 

[Hrkac Circus]

Barbashev from Bortuzzo at 10:16 of the first. Even strength goal.

I'll take Booch. 2:21 of the 2nd period. From Vladi & Thomas.

 

[TheDizee]

Schenn

 

[kimzey59]

I’ll go with Bortuzzo just for kicks.

Walker

Yeah, but you didn’t specify from Bortuzzo.
I always wanted to see a comedy skit of how a Price is Right contestant would react to getting outbid by one dollar every single pricing game of the entire show.

Barbashev cleaning up a rebound.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Buchnevich is going to lead us in goals this season but Tarasenko is going to get us started on the right foot with a snipe on Saturday.
