There’s no GDT up right now, but Texier is out tonight with an illness.

I kid. It's really more about, Who can Army/Steen take advantage of?

Rob Blake and the kings triumvirate

I posted this in the GDT, but it is probably better suited here:

The break was certainly good for the Blues. Binner is clearly riding a confidence high after the championship game and Parayko is continuing his great season after being part of Team Canada's victory. But the guys who had a couple weeks off look like the rest did wonders to get past whatever was nagging them. Buch has a goal, 4 assists, and is +5. Faulk has looked like his old self playing 21+ minutes a night in each game (with 3 assists). Sunny is skating at a near-NHL level. Leddy's played his best 3 games of the season. Neighbours has been effective as the passenger with Thomas/Buch. The special teams are clicking.

Very small sample and this team has repeatedly shown an inability to go on a streak. And having to play at Washington, vs LA, and at Dallas from Thursday-Sunday is a hell of a tough stretch. We need 3 more efforts like the 3 we just got if we're going to make this interesting.

Army loves his quote about how the players are the ones who tell the front office what to do at deadline with their play. This is the locker room's last chance to convince him to take some big names off the market (at least for now). I'm expecting to be let down like I was after the 2 Calgary wins, but I'm hoping to be surprised.

My optimism was turned up to reckless after the Colorado effort. Tight gaps and swagger.

I think it is more likely we are in the playoffs than that we are sellers now. I didn’t expect Vancouver to look so hollow.

He's play 9 games, 4 of them was when we now know his leg(s) were numb and ya that's f***ed up but since then he's only played 5 games lol

I expected Vancouver to be a juggernaut in the next few years. Now? No.

Colton Parayko is now 5th in goals scored by a defenseman this season.

Colton Parayko is ELITE!
