OEL(A)- MURPHY

SMITH
DOMINGUE



VS

St Louis Blues

They have half-assed GDTs that you can't steal things from.
Like having your yard look like a crack house; tends to keep people away.

Scottie Upshall is on the Blues.

(Disclaimer: Lines are a total guess until the puck drops. And even then...)

Interesting Notes

Domi needs 3 points to tie Mueller's rookie point record. Four points to own it out right.

Rieder and Richardson are the only players to play in every game so far this year.

There are some baseball games a minor league basketball game vying for your attention today.

The Blues have our number.

Interested to see who gets the start. Smith is historically bad vs. STL. Of course, he's running hot run now, and coming off a SO, so if he's beating STL, it's happening now.

 

[Dbrownss]

I giggled at the Blues GDT description.

Here's our lineup unless Fabbri/Boumeester returns.

Steen Lehtera Tarasenko
Pääjärvi Stastny Brouwer
Schwartz Berglund Backes
Upshall Brodziak Reaves(guess)

Edmundson Pietrangelo
Payrako Shattenkirk
Gunnarsson Bortuzzo

We could be playing The Little Sisters of the Poor but if they called themselves the St Louis Blues we'd most likely lose to them.

May this road trip be a disaster for the Coyotes in order to have the best chance to land in bottom 5.

Lose for Matthews.

*** that. 4-0 bay-bee.

(seriously, there's no way we finish worse than 24th, or 7th worst. Right now CLB or VAN or WPG or CGY would have to win all remaining games and us lose all 4 to catch us (well, VAN could go 3-0-1 I guess); we have the ROW tiebreaker clinched against all 4 of those teams. Get used to the idea of finishing 7th-9th worst, and it's between us, BUF, MTL for those 3 positions. Start rooting for getting lucky, the tank is done. And remember, last year we'd have been better off finishing 28th than 29th, as it turned out )

Smitty starts.

Louie likely gets the game vs. Chicago.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Anybody have any info on Hanzal? Back for the next game ?

There's a squirt house team out of Chandler that I think is called the Blues. I wonder if they could beat the Coyotes.

Team is on a 4 game road trip and he stayed in Arizona. I doubt he returns this year.

Just when it looked like he was going to play the most games in a season for him since 2010.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Bummer, thanks for the info

 

[CC96]

Nice goal.

 

[Muppet]

Nice little backhand there from Vermette.

 

[Plub]

Domi and Duke separated again...

 

[Plub]

Beauty goal by Duke.

 

[CC96]

20 goals for the Duke!

 

[Plub]

Is Nash giving Tanger all the credit for that goal? Huh?

 

[_Del_]

Even more impressive given his ice time this season.

Absolutely.

 

[Muppet]

Duclair will probably get benched now.

Meanwhile, Tanguay.. 13 points in 15 games with the Coyotes.

Any of our forwards could have made that move stickhandling at speed running out of room on top of the crease... how many can make a pass?

Not to mention, the pass was in his skates. He had to kick it up to his stick while it was still in the air and wobbling. I mean, it wasn't like it was a sauce pass hitting the ice right before his stick. Solid play by the old man but damn, ease up a bit Nash.

Did it hit his skates? Different view made it look like it was his stick.

We may get 40 goals this year from Domi and Duke. Anyone know how many we lost with the changes from last year?

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Duke feeling it tonight.
