Gross.

Gross.

Blues hockey has been gross since he left. I agree.

Easy there tiger it was just a joke.

I admit our regular seasons were good under Hitch.

The #BluesforHughes march continues!

For the record, we are 11 points out o the last wilcard spot. This season is dead.

Thomas and Kyrou on the top two lines. That should make some people happy....but probably won't.

I see people confused about Tank being on the third line.

To me it's obvious what the Blues are doing. They gave up on trying to salvage the season and want to see what the kids got. So chucking them to the wolves and getting Frank some rest.

Thats how I see it. Could be wrong.

If they both score every game along with others and the Blues lose 8-7 or 9-8 or 7-6 every game is what would make the happiest. The sooner Army starts selling some assets the sooner the Blues can fully embrace tankathon 2018-19.

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me. Then again, some other teams shuffle their lines a lot more than we do. Plenty of decent players have spent time on the 3rd and 4th lines when things weren't going well.

I definitely subscribe to the theory that if something isn't working, change it! And if we end up getting a top 3 pick out of it, then that's fine with me.

Two horrible teams meet head to head!

It was gross before he left too.

I think they're just spreading out the offense, and also going to see how Bozak and Tarasenko look together since we haven't really seen them yet.

Not that it matters though. I couldn't care less about Bozak.

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

I'll be honest, I hated winning a lot of games too. Especially with teams that were probably 4th or 5th best in the West.

Could be. I'm thinking Tarasenko has to be the man on his line. It seems like when he plays with other talents, he defers more to them and passes up shots. I'm wondering if he'll play better when players are looking to pass to him for every shot.

I agree. Even Laine and Ehlers were demoted for a few games at times this season.

Interesting. It's definitely my (and I am sure others) biggest pet peeve with Tarasenko is not shooting when he has the chance.

Hey if it makes him more selfish im all for it!
