Pre-Game Talk: 2024 Blues Training Camp Thread

[TK 421]

Jiricek shouldn't be in these games imo, he's just here to skate with the other players to get part of the camp experience while getting access to the Blues training staff and medical professionals to monitor his recovery before allowing his junior team to throw him right into 23+ minutes a game. The Blues are protecting their asset by keeping him here for the moment and DA says as much in the interview.

Lines for tonight's game.....

That 2nd D-pairing is not going to give the Blues a good shot at defending. Tho, it is nice for Perunovich to see who is his replacement up close and personal.

Assuming there is no way to watch the game tonight?

I’m in Des Moines to see the game tonight. I’ll try to post thoughts when it’s all over

I see a lot of Blues fans seeing Bolduc in the starting line up, is it wishful thinking or realistic?

Both. He definitely has the chance to slip into a top 6 role if he can prove himself this preseason.

Realistic. He played 25 games last year at the end of the season and looked good. Our GM has specifically said he has a good chance to come in and grab a role, with his usual caveats that he has to grab it. But I'd say he has him written in the lineup in pencil, not pen, but still written in there.

I know the European seasons start earlier but I wish the Blues could have had Stenberg and Lindstein for at least part of camp. I have seen them at prospect camp but really want to watch them at full camp/preseason and see how they measure up.

My main hope for Jiricek is that he's eating all the T-ravs he can get here to fill out his frame before heading to juniors.
