St. Louis Blues 2010 Regular Season Thread

I agree that D'Ags and Perron aren't going to keep up the pace, but I don't doubt Perron can get to 30 goals this year. D'Ags... well, I'll say about 15 if he stays on the third line and maybe add another five to that if he moves up. With all the shots Steen's taking, some are bound to go in (plus he's too good not to have them find a way).

I wouldn't be entirely opposed to taking Backes and Oshie off the same line since they're kind of redundant.

Barret Jackman placed on IR; expected to be out three weeks. Ian Cole called up, but might be in the press box for tomorrow night against the Bruins.

Jax looked done last night until he saw Petro was in a fight... then fought his way back out there.

My guess for d-pairings:

Brewer-EJ
Petro-Nikitin
Oystrick-Strachan

Cole in the box.

In a "control the puck, backcheck and forecheck like mad men, play the body, and set up Perron" kind of way, they're completely redundant.

Forward Brad Winchester was not on the TD Garden ice and his spot was taken on the fourth line by Cam Janssen. Winchester was banged up in a fight with Jamal Mayers on Thursday. Looks like Janssen will play tonight.

The boards better look out tonight because Cam Janssen is going to skate really hard into them. No, Tim Thomas vs. Jaro which sucks.

Perron out because he felt dizzy after hit from Jumbo Joe. Nick Drazenovic recalled.

Sobotka scores his first goal as a Blue against the team that traded him.

A little surprising how chippy this game is getting between inter-conference teams. BJ Crombeen is an idiot.

Agree on both points.

Not at all surprised Boston finally tied it. Sure wish the Blues could capitalize on an odd man rush tonight...

Oh. My. God. Oshie.
