Thanks for the head's up. One error in lineup is Ivan Barbashev would be on the 4th line instead of De La Rose.

I thought this would be a Retro GDT for the Blues/Blackhawks game (Game 2, 2014) that NBCSN is going to show later tonight after Pens/Flyers, Game 3, 2012.

I was at that game. It’s the greatest Blues game I’ve ever attended. When Tarasenko ties it, and when Jackman scored the OT winner, soooo loud and happy.

Yeah I was there too. I remember everyone spilling out into the lot and streets afterward and it being like a party. Wish we could have kept momentum.

I thought, “This year it’s different! They’ll finally break through.”

I don't like blaming a whole fan base for the actions of a few but seeing hawks fans proud of that moment and using it as a battle cry is pretty damn gross and has always been my least favorite thing about them.
