Post-Game Talk: St.Louis @ Senators - 7:30 p.m. - "Remember Hull" Edition

[AchtzehnBaby]

Hull? That old place? Bobby Hull's celebration is going to end. More fake news!

Get some anger out on these old line-ups...

The last time Senators face St. Louis at home the club scored a 2-0 victory on March 14. It was Anders Nilsson, who will make the start in this one, that made 35 saves in the victory while Chris Tierney and Christian Wolanin did the scoring. Nilsson was the first goalie in franchise history to post a shutout against the Blues.

Yep, I have the Blues firmly ensconced in my head as a team that always plays on the dirty side of the rules and always gets away with it.

Plus from childhood a team symbol that was highly unrewarding to draw

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Sabu gonna win the Conn Smythe tonight

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Oh good Brown is off the top line! Who did they replace him with, probably a good young gun or maybe our new Russian acquisition... *adjusts glasses* Tyler Ennis...

I’m scared. Someone hold me. This is gonna be a blood bath.

 

[DJB]

Nice to see Abramov put in a position to be successful

 

[slamigo]

Guaranteed win AINEC.

 

[BonkTastic]

Guaranteed wing

Heck, if we're lucky, we'll have 8 of them.

Four on the left side of center, four on the right.

Y’all have to read this! Brady to Alfredsson LOL

Yeah, I was going to try to pass off that typo as some deliberately facetious gag, but nope. Just a typo. Still, wings sounds good. Now I'm hungry.

 

[stempniaksen]

Abramov on the 4th and Ennis on the 1st is fairly infuriating honestly. I know the team will end up rolling the lines, but that line is pretty clearly the last option. That's not a position I want skill guys like Abramov/Chlapik/whoever put in.

Happy to see Nilsson in there though.

 

[Evanc23]

I'd guess 5-3 st Louis here.

 

[hockey20000]

this could be ugly.. if its a blowout I tuning out by 10 to watch the Colorado game lol.

 

[Xspyrit]

Damn it really should be :

Tkachuk-White-Ryan (good 2nd line?)
Duclair-Anisimov-Namestnikov (good 2nd/3rd line?)
Abramov-Tierney-Brown (good 3rd line?)
Ennis-Pageau-Boedker (good 4th line?)
Sabourin

Unless DJ Smith has instructions that he has to tank to keep his job? lol

 

[Matsens15]

I'd guess 5-3 st Louis here.

Sabourin with the hat trick?
