[OCTA8ON*]

2 things.

1. Please substitute Colaiacovo for Leopold in the hopeful lines.

2. Please switch Morrow and Ott. Morrow is a LW and Ott plays RW when he isn't playing center (I'm 65% sure about this one).

 

[Note Worthy]

Excited and nervous at the same time.

I have two tests tomorrow and it will be hard to remain focused on them and not think about game uno.

 

[The Grouch]

All of these injuries have me nervous about this series. I hope we see a refocused, passionate team.

Small note, Note in KY, time should read CDT, not CST. Fantastic job on the GDT as always. I especially like the injury GIFs.

 

[JustOneB4IDie]

Here we go! Playoff Hockey at last!

All the ??? Ron Swansons is true to the state of the Blues right now, well done Note in KY.

The Blues need to play better in front of Miller, somehow find their lost scoring touch also please anyone? So all those question marks on our injured core players makes this a daunting task against the defending cup champions, it's not impossible though.

Let's go Blues!

 

[Blanick]

Wow KY nice work.

 

[superblues]

I'm feeling a bit hopelessly optimistic about tonight's game. I'm sure I'll come back down to earth once I see our lines.

 

[Old Blueser]

how about, Steve Ott scores his first goal as a Blue tonight!

 

[JustOneB4IDie]

how about, Steve Ott scores his first goal as a Blue tonight!

And is a +2 also!

 

[Dbrownss]

Lgb!

 

[ManyIdeas]

First ever playoff game for me. Hopefully they don't disappoint.

Wait you actually want Coalaiacovo in over Leopold or Cole?

 

[RR10*]

My lines would be:

Jaden Schwartz - David Backes - Alexander Steen
Vladimir Tarasenko - Vladimir Sobotka - TJ Oshie
Magnus Paajarvi - Derek Roy - Steve Ott
Brenden Morrow - Maxim Lapierre - Ryan Reaves

 

[ManyIdeas]

My lines would be:

Jaden Schwartz - David Backes - Alexander Steen
Vladimir Tarasenko - Vladimir Sobotka - TJ Oshie
Magnus Paajarvi - Derek Roy - Steve Ott
Brenden Morrow - Maxim Lapierre - Ryan Reaves

I can agree with these, but depending on Morrows foot speed, replace him with Porter.

 

[BluesTraveller]

Please no Carla in the lineup.

They are going to be shaky in the first 10 minutes probably. If they weather that stretch they should build confidence. Miller will have to earn his keep.

Blues 4-2 with an EN

 

[Brez50]

Wahoo! Just found out I'm going to the game tonight. The Blues have not lost this season when I've been at a game, so I'm bringing all the good mojo with me!

 

[RR10*]

I can agree with these, but depending on Morrows foot speed, replace him with Porter.

I actually thought of it.

 

[lazylindros]

Awesome work The Note in Ky



Just win!

 

[bluesman11]

Finally they're playing a game that counts...but they're far from 100%.

 

[TheOrganist]

If this is going to be a series, the first 20 minutes will give us all the info we need.

 

[fallingquarters]

Those gifs are making my whole day

 

[Skew06]

Incredible gdt

 

[Skew06]

I just literally texted "Frank" to my girlfriend 91 times. Pulling out all the stops to bring him back.

 

[JustOneB4IDie]

The real NHL season starts tonight for the Blues.

Let's go Blues!
