Re: Morning skate lines
That's a crazy line. Dvorsky has handled himself on the Dot so I'm assuming that's why that is happening. I still wish we would try and get the speed line of Hollywood and Kyrou. But I guess that's been spoiled. That 3rd line is interesting, and that 4th line is huge.Harry S Deals wrote: ↑03 Nov 2025 10:35 am Buchnevich-Thomas-Snuggerud

Re: Morning skate lines
Buch, Schenn, and Holloway need to make this great very difficult for Leon.

Re: Morning skate lines
Im just glad Dvorsky is still here i actually thought they may send him back after Thomas was announced. Im taking the Schenn to LW move as a big development.callitwhatyouwant wrote: ↑03 Nov 2025 10:37 amThat's a crazy line.

Re: Morning skate lines
Definitely pleasantly surprised to see this - Dvorsky has looked really good in this small sample size, and I'm glad that apparently they're willing to let him keep going at this level for now.Harry S Deals wrote: ↑03 Nov 2025 10:54 amIm just glad Dvorsky is still here i actually thought they may send him back after Thomas was announced.

Re: Morning skate lines
Soon if they dont start turning this around the Blues will be buried. Getting enough points to qualify for the playoffs will be unlikely at that point Monty and co need to get the kids who are close to being factors into the lineup Dvorsky, Mailloux, maybe Stenberg maybe Lindstein. For me playing Dvorsky now is critical, hes looked pretty good no reason to sit him. I also dont really like sitting Mailloux again hes played better actually resembled an NHLer but you can feel the urgency to get points now
Re: Morning skate lines
Finally Schenn is on wing. Glad Thommer is back

Re: Morning skate lines
That 4th line has some size and wheels, probably lacking chemistry though which is the real key for that group
Re: Morning skate lines
If Dvorsky can stick as our 3C then this team has some legit potential if we can get just average goaltending. Kessel doesn’t get enough credit as he’s been very solid and steady this season. I like that the Blues aren’t rushing LM out there as that could hurt his development. When playing a high powered offensive team in EDM it makes sense to sit LM for the more steady Kessel.Harry S Deals wrote: ↑03 Nov 2025 11:05 am Soon if they dont start turning this around the Blues will be buried.

FYI Kessel and Tucker are 2 of only 3 + Blues players this season
Re: Morning skate lines
Schenn is very likable for many things, but he is best served on the wing. I know plus/minus is not great, but Schenn’s -13 is an outlier to the bad side! Hopefully Dvorsky can hold down the third line center spot from now on.
Re: Morning skate lines
Why Sundqvist in a 3rd line role. Jesus this organization is in love with the guy

We should be grateful he is not playing 2C in Springfield.callitwhatyouwant wrote: ↑03 Nov 2025 10:37 amThat's a crazy line.

He handled himself remarkably well as he was not rushed in from Opening Day and had time enough to put in the time and sweat on what he was told needed work.
With Thomas and Suter healthy, 3C is a dream place for him to be tonight. Sundqvist is a rock-solid and healthy and Holloway seems to be on the cusp of some phenomenal Blues moments...
Re: Morning skate lines
Glad to see Schenn moved to the wing. Time for Sunny to the 4th line, give Bjugstad a chance on 3rd line. Toropchenko playing over Walker is just silly.

Re: Morning skate lines
Walker needed a rest, at least from what I have seen the last couple games. he's looking like hes getting overexposed. That last line is a big line so they have somethingto go off of

Re: Morning skate lines
I think Sunny, when healthy, is smarter than Bjugstad (or anyone else on the team), is more-skilled, and almost as big and fast. That slight lack of speed is less of a liabilty at 3RW than at 4C.
That Fourth line can use Giants 'again. Fast giants are dangerous on fourth lines. "Unleash the Blue and Yellow Krakens!"
Walker is taking penalties that suggest he could use a rest.

Re: Morning skate lines
They don't want to take the chance of him getting caught out there against McDavid or Draisaitl or both. Smart.Harry S Deals wrote: ↑03 Nov 2025 11:05 am I also dont really like sitting Mailloux again hes played better actually resembled an NHLer but you can feel the urgency to get points now
