Gotta think being at home on 3 days rest that the boys will be flying. Plus they've probably been hungry to get back on the ice after that wings game...

LGB!

SOBOTKA - Berglund - Stewie
Langs - nichol - Reaves OR Dags

Redden - Pie
Jackman - Shattdeuces

Elliott

From JR's interview with Hitchcock, I'm guessing Dags will get the nod tonight over Reaves (not Langenbrunner). LGB!!!

I hate it when we don't play Reaves.

 

[brendan]

LGB! Gonna be a good one!

Not official yet. We shall see. I typically agree with you and do in this case.

So no Jaden tonight. I feel like he's played ok - up and down. I see him flat on the ice (in a bad way) a bit too much. Sure nice to have someone like Sobotka to plug right into that spot.

 

[Em etah Eh]

I agree. It should be Langs OR Dags for the 3rd spot on that line. Plenty of time off and we'll have a day off tomorrow. Keep Reaves in there.

I actually thought Dags looked really good last game, Id rather him slot in on the third line and keep Sobotka on the 4th.

Not happy about Langs in over Reaves either, Reaves has been great, Langs is pretty much done.

Agreed that Dags looked good and that Langs is the player that should get some rest.

Agreed. Dags on the 3rd line with Sobotka - nichol - Reaves would look nice tonight.

That said, I understand that it will be beneficial to play Langs in place of some of these guys for rest and to keep our depth sharp. Although the odd man out is always a 4th liner (or Schwartz) who need the least amount of rest, so really it just feels like keeping our depth sharp in case of the inevitable injuries. knock. on. wood.

 

[JustOneB4IDie]

C'mon, I would rather see Reaves suit up Thursday in the last home game in this 48 lockout 2013 season against Detroit. The Blues play 5 games against Detroit, 2 home 3 away.

This is game 3 of 4 against the Preds, also the last Home game against Nashville who are road weary, struggling to score. I expect the Blues to come out motivated and hit the preds with our waves of scoring lines tonight.

Let's go BLUES!!!

 

[ManyIdeas]

Man, I hate having so much offensive depth....

 

[STL Blues Fan]

I'm ready for this game after the 3 day layoff. Lets Go Blues!!!

Not to many people would consider Langs "offensive" depth

 

[brendan]

Pat Parris on FS Midwest is awful

 

[ManyIdeas]

Was referring more to dags on the 4th line.

 

[Gullibull]

It's safe to say that the offensive depth stops at the 4th line, but with Reaves, Nichol or Dags on the line, you can't deny that they control the puck and generate some scoring chances.

 

[Gullibull]

Apparently Sobotka always comes out of the puck with the corner lol

 

[542365]

God I hate this passive PK. Even when the other team doesn't score, we're still trapped in our own zone for like 50% of the kill.

And there it is. Seriously, whoever's call it was to have every guy standing around during the PK, seriously needs to consider other employment options. It's like we saw how easy it was to score on the Shark's PK in the playoffs and decided to copy their style exactly. It makes absolutely no sense.

 

[brendan]

wow lol

 

[illninofan*]

@ our PK.

0/17 before that goal. No excuse.

 

[Wiems35*]

Pietrangelo Scores!!!..........on Elliott.

 

[SoulChaser17]

Nothing worse than starting to watch a game right as the other teams scores ;_;

 

[Gullibull]

It's like our special teams take turns at doing well. Do we not learn from our past success?
