One of the best days of the year! LGB!!

Had a lot of pessimism opening day last year. Totally opposite this year. What a quick turn around.

And to those who thought the only way the Blues could be prominent again was through a tank job, tear it all down, rebuild, & accumulate 1st round picks in the 1-5 range for a few years, .... well sorry!

Of course trades school is scheduled this week so 9.5 hour days in a classroom this week has been dragging.

Excited to watch the boyz in action. LGB!!!

Thanks for posting those. Their Jiricek should be interesting to look at, and of course Buium is going to be a problem for opponents in this league

It feels like the Blues usually fair well for their home openers but last season’s was a disaster. I was at the game a recall not being entertained at all lol.

MINN got an early lead then sat back and played the most boring trap/defensive game. They scored on all of their chances in the 1st couple of periods and it wasn’t close

Revenge time

Game 1! LGB!!

[callitwhatyouwant]

Only bummer about tonights game is I feel like dumpster at work. Going to be a long day and can't really get super excited, but not a terrible night when you can just put the feet up on the couch and watch some hockey.

[hotrivets]

LGB! Wore one of my 2019 shirts today- hope that doesn't jinx them

[dhsux]

Man time dragged on this summer waiting on this...yet my birthday is coming up in a few weeks and funny somehow that time flew.

I have a strong feeling this team will be competitive off the git go but this group may take a little time to truly find what they are capable of.

I'll hang with them thick and thin.

GO BLUE!!

[Russdv14]

I’m pulling for Snuggie as the star of the game. Hope he makes a big impact and the game winner. The season for the PTS. I happen to be wearing a 2019 Championship t shirt too.

Need a big game from Binner

Let's Go Blues

[Mr.Snuggleupagus]

Great way to cap off Leif Erikson Day would be with a Blues win!

[DawgDad]

Not sure the Blues have an answer for Kaprizov but I like all the other matchups. Holloway should have a fun night.

[STLinCHI]

Hard to believe Drew Bannister was coach and our expectations for playoff hockey were tampered exactly one year ago. What a difference a year makes!
