Fun game so far - St Louis has a lot of young talent that they can trade for a game changer if the cup window is open.

Much better in the 3rd period. Blues played much better in the 3rd also.

Despite that ending in OT, that was a heckuva game.

Still a really poor angle and play by Jiricek. Oh well, he’s still a few years away, so hopefully he learns.

That, my friends, is what this tournament is all about. Exposure. Experience. Learning.

He'll be fine. And better for it.

Stenberg was probably the best Blue, Dvorsky too quiet I've seen that from him in a few AHL games. He had a nice attempt late in the 3rd but I really don't feel like I saw enough vs kids this age

I agree. I like the skillset of Dvo, but he just doesn’t look NHL ready. I said it last night too, but none of these guys look like they are NHL ready.

I can’t get the feed. I reckon you must start before it ends or you are screwed…

Sternberg is very smart and very quick. If he was bigger, oh what a player. It’s great to see a number 28 who is smallish, but plays with confidence and is always in the right place.

I mention Dvorsky being calm yesterday. Too bloody calm, huh?

Oliver Moore was a tough matchup all night good player and he got loose wide and won the game. Hawks goalie was their best player otherwise the Blues probably win by a few goals. Idk all in all I don't take much from a prospects tourney kids haven't played in 4 or 5 months, practice, jump on a plane to St Paul.
For Dvorsky it's going to be practices and pre season games that decide where he starts the season

Jiricek is like Kyrou playing defense; smooth, slick and gifted offensively but frail, weak on the puck and gets caught reaching a lot.

I thought I heard one of the announcers tonight say that Jiricek had put on 25 lbs. Did anyone else catch that?
