That’s fine. We can staple him to the boards as well

A couple extra goals for the jets over a few games is not going to help them. I hope I am not being too overconfident but the Blues look great right now while COOONNNNNNNNNNERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR is swiss cheese in the playoffs.

If he helps them get a better second scoring line it's not good for the Blues.

I like the way the Blues are playing and thinking as much as any one picked them in six but I'm as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof.

Their going to find out just how "healed" he is.

True, however coming back from an injury and stepping into game speed is one thing, coming back and stepping into playoff speed might take a minute

Feels reactionary to me. An act of desperation. Have to punish him, just like anyone else.

Well hopefully we can have the same conversation about Holloway.

Seriously? Why? Would you feel the same way if Holloway was healthy and we inserted him into the lineup? Because that’s what they’re getting here. He’s their 1st line RW. 61 pts in 71 games this season. Make no mistake, he’s going to help them.

Hear that boys? Upper body.

I don't know why, but I love this GIF.

Depends on just how healthy he actually is. And in the playoffs we have no way of knowing since everything is so secretive.

It's one thing if they are healthy to start a series. But now that we are to a game where if they don't reverse the trend, they will find themselves facing elimination? Feels like they are bringing him in and hoping he'll perform a miracle to right the ship.

But anyway if he truly is 100% then I digress.

Sounds like they are just gonna load the first line and put him with connor and scheifele. 2nd line will still be lacking but thats a very dangerous top line now.

And I couldn't care less about the return of Vivaldi or whomever. Isn't he better known for composing The Four Seasons? It's Blues season now.
