If I don't watch today for the third consecutive time in order to serve superstition (something I don't much think about) and they win three games in a row then I'm going to start needing someone to provide me with detailed game summaries

[LGB73]

I understand keeping some consistency for Dvo with his linemates, but (bleep) that's a criminal underutilization of Holloway putting him with Bjugstad-Joseph. So please Holloway go prove me wrong with a hattie!

Plan is for Kaskimaki to play but it all depends on his flight here. There's currently a delay. #stlblues    could go 11/7 with Tucker playing both D and forward.

Tucker detractors on Blues Talk have exploding heads

If Kas makes it in time for the game:

Jake Neighbours -- Robert Thomas -- Jordan Kyrou
Brayden Schenn -- Dalibor Dvorsky -- Pavel Buchnevich
Dylan Holloway -- Nick Bjugstad -- Mathieu Joseph
Aleksanteri Kaskimaki -- Oskar Sundqvist -- Nathan Walker

Philip Broberg -- Colton Parayko
Matthew Kessel -- Justin Faulk
Cam Fowler -- Logan Mailloux

Jordan Binnington

[hotrivets]

Ducks projected lineup

Cutter Gauthier -- Leo Carlsson -- Troy Terry
Chris Kreider -- Mason McTavish -- Beckett Sennecke
Nikita Nesterenko -- Ryan Poehling -- Alex Killorn
Ross Johnston -- Ryan Strome -- Frank Vatrano

Jackson LaCombe -- Radko Gudas
Olen Zellweger -- Jacob Trouba
Pavel Mintyukov -- Drew Helleson

Ville Husso

Husso will start after Mrazek made 13 saves before departing in the third period of a 5-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday

Really? Who? He's on the roster, he needs to play when and where called upon. Wouldn't expect him to move the needle but he should be able to forecheck and do some board work, if called upon at forward.

The D pairs are slightly misleading.

Fowler on the 3rd pair getting 22 minutes a night while his partner Mailloux gets 13 and 16. Faulk and Kessel same thing.

Coach is doing a good job getting the right guys their minutes while keeping the young guys separated.

Wouldn't mind Tucker on the 4th line

Me neither- Tucker plays a simple game defense or offense and will win some puck battles and will crash the net. Could do worse.

With the way the weather is going, I think we should expect to see 11/7

[82birds]

I've been at Lambert all day. It's a mess. I'm here visiting family. Had a quick work trip, but nope...lots of delays out there.
Now trying to find a way back to my family.

Iheard about Snuggerud and Toropchenko. What happened to Suter?

[82birds]

I see Kaskimaki was a third round pick in the 2022 draft.
have any of you seen him play in person?

You could always take you life in your own hands and hitch hike.

Obviously, I jest. Good luck getting home tonight!

[hotrivets]

Leave early if you are going to the game- traffic will be slow.
