That is all.

Blech!!!

 

[Shady Machine]

IMO the bottom two forward lines still make me throw up in my mouth, more sick even than Sutter and Vitale

Agreed. The bottom 6 is brutal.

 

[mel]

Excited for the season to start. It also makes the workday more bearable

 

[Pens x]

I'm pumped to go to the game tonight.

I hope the novelty of the new season doesn't dissipate too quickly as our bottom six will be tough to watch.

 

[Clare2904]

Blech!!! :p

Shut ya face

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Gonna be a rough stretch of games with our bottom-6 missing legit centers. Hope the big guns can carry us until JR and Sully settle on a solution and go and get him.

Not necessarily worried, but definitely expecting the bottom-6 to be a big issue until we make a trade.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Welp, for the time being, it's the Gregg McKegg (doin' tha Stanky Legg) show.

Do you guys happen to know if the banner raising will start at 7 or does the game start at 7 (banner raising at 6:30 or something like that) can't seem to find info and don't want to miss it (might put my son to bed early haha)

Edit: I'm central time zone so add an hour for you locals

We can call him "Kegstand" perhaps?

Well, it's the NHL, so when it says 8pm EST start and there's some kind of ceremony beforehand, expect the game to start in January.

 

[KingBran]

Blues fan here in peace. Are you guys ready? I think you all will like Reaves. I don't expect him to be too disrespectful to his former club

Good luck, here's hoping it's at least a close game!

EDIT: That winky emoji is gross.

 

[Coach Travis]

I'm not terribly worried about the Bottom 6. Our Bottom 6 Wingers will be, at worst, average and probably quite good. I think we have a stockpile of Centres who can fill the 4C role with no issues. It's just that glaring 3C. We may find we have yet another surprise player who steps up into the role but if not, the importance of a strong 3rd line doesn't really come into play until the playoffs. We'll find a good 3C at the deadline if we have to.

 

[Rusty Razor]

I think part of the problem with the bottom six looking bad right now is Hornqvist being out. Even with the weak center depth 2 of the three of Hagelin/Rust/Hornqvist makes a pretty good third line.

Sunny opening up the season as the Blues 3rd line center.

It will be interesting to see how Mckegg and Sunny look against each other if that's the match up Sully wants.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Budweiser is shit and even worse, a rip off of a far superior Czech beer.

Knockoffs are tacky, yinz.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Who's playing tonight? Murray or Niemi?

You really need to ask this?

[HandshakeLine]

Where does Josh Getzoff?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Thanks!

 

[HandshakeLine]

I also get why he's not on the arts/human interest beat. Imaging reading Josh Getzoff on German "art" movies and human suffering.... :

Oh the irony.
