GDT: Blues at Jets 6:00 TBS, MAX, FanDuel

nhl.com thinks Blues go with the same lineup but switch Kyrou and Snuggerud which they did in yesterday's skate. Maybe a minor tweak gets a different result in Canada Life Centre tonight.

Blues projected lineup

Pavel Buchnevich -- Robert Thomas -- Jordan Kyrou
Jake Neighbours -- Brayden Schenn -- Jimmy Snuggerud
Mathieu Joseph -- Oskar Sundqvist -- Zack Bolduc
Alexey Toropchenko -- Radek Faksa -- Nathan Walker

Cam Fowler -- Colton Parayko
Philip Broberg -- Justin Faulk
Ryan Suter -- Nick Leddy

Winnipeg is hosting the first Game 7 in its history. The Jets’ only other Game 7 was a 5-1 win against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena in the 2018 Second Round.

St. Louis could become the fifth team in NHL history to win at least five straight Game 7s. Four teams have won six in a row: the Carolina Hurricanes (2006-2022), New York Rangers (2012-15), Boston Bruins (1983-94) and Detroit Red Wings (1949-64).

This is the 200th Game 7 in Stanley Cup Playoff history and second of this postseason after Avalanche-Stars on Saturday.

Teams scoring first in a Game 7 of a Stanley Cup Playoff series have won 75.4 percent of the time (150-49). Home teams have won 58.8 percent of the time (117-82).

Number to know: 19. Number of Game 7s for the Blues in their history, the most of any non-Original Six team. They have the fifth-most overall in NHL history, passing the Pittsburgh Penguins, Dallas Stars and New York Rangers who have each played in 18 Game 7s.

Only 9 hours to go. Nervous energy abound. At least the sun is out so my fun loving but bat sheet crazy dog (he's a terrier, those of you that know, you know) can get a nice long walk this morning. Wife and kids are working on a new from scratch pizza recipe for dinner for the game. Will go through our usual brawling about toppings. I want caveman meat. They want veggies. I think we've compromised one each so all is good.

This 9 hours is going to feel like 875 hours.

Will be interested to see the Schiefle decision. I agree with the poster who noted yesterday that he didn't fly bc it has to be a concussion. If it was his ribs or spleen or whatever, no reason he doesn't at least travel to be with the team.

Looks like someone's autocorrect changed head injury to undisclosed.

Out of curiosity where did you pull this and what time was it published?

From nhl.com as I said. They very rarely say anything but upper or lower body. More info will come out during the day but of course coaches say very little during the playoffs.

Schenn > Lowry but that Morgan Barron kid is pretty good and I do not want to see more of him. He and Appleton have been active and doing business like our 4th line. Niederreiter is a solid vet. This will be a tough lineup, but if Vilardi isn't up to speed and we can bang some bodies in their top-6, I think we have decent odds. It's a great matchup and should be an exciting game.

[LewisL]

I'm excited, not very nervous....my anxiety level's nowhere near the level of the game 7's of 2019 vs. Dallas/Boston. Just enjoying the "gravy", since Blues weren't even expected to be in this position.

Jets coach yesterday saidnscheifele felt betterand would be game time decision. Could just be gamesmanship though

A stat they forgot:

St. Louis could become the fifth straight team to win a Game 7 against the Presidents' Trophy winners, with opposing teams holding a 7-3 record in Games 7s against the League's top team over the past 20 years.

I call on the ghost of Pierre Turgeon and invoke the 1999 Coyotes series

I hate Kyrou and Thomas together. Berube kept trying to force it and it never worked out well. Plus you have Neighbors and Schenn two of our slowest forwards on the same line.

[seattleblue]

Blues shots in games in Winnipeg:
17
22
19

There is blood in the water in the Winnipeg net. This 5 shots on goal in a period is how the Jets stabilize things.
Blues need to pepper the net and go to the net and trust their goalie in this win or go home game
Huge edge in net, make it count

[bud white]

Per NHL.com, Shiefele has been ruled out for Game 7

I read in a few places that it was noted that he was throwing up in the dressing room after they went in. sounds like a concussion to me

everybody's talking about it

agree with another poster.. hate kyrou on the 1st line. just doesn't seem to work and it lets the Jets focus mostly on one line

[82birds]

and so it comes down to this

game 7 baby


LET'S GO BLUES
