Big game for Kapanen, Tucker, and Perunovich. Could be running out of time to prove they're worthy of an NHL roster spot.

Let's hope!

Garbage passing in this one so far. Guys just slinging the puck all over the place.

Can't hit the net either, even on breakaways.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Awful first period. Hofer keeps them in there, 0-0.

Well after the 1st Period I would report that Perunovich and Tucker were complete ass and other than a really nice hit, Kapanen was ok. I think he's the 14th forward until Sunny is ready.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Suter has been really bad in this one. Two horrible turnovers that led to scoring chances.

PPG Justin Faulk!

Tucker really cementing his place with another stupid penalty and the Blue Jackets tie it up on the power play.

Really nice shift by Dingo and friends, there.
They smell baby.

 

[Spektre]

I guess the Blues are waiting for the regular season

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

I've liked the Walker line tonight. Flashes from Broberg and Faulk. Not much else.

 

[TheDizee]

Kyrou looks worse than he did last year.

 

[Eldon Reid]

Well I think this game has pretty much cemented our roster IMO. None of the tweener have showed me anything special.

Only decisions left I feel is Walker or Kap as extra forward (Please pick Walker) once Sunny is back and if Bolduc can stay with NHL through beginning of season or not (depending on the Saad situation).

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Texier has made a few good plays. Honestly that Texier-Walker-Torp line has probably been our best tonight, which is a pretty terrible sign.

Bolduc has been pretty invisible his last 2 games, which is concerning. Was hoping he'd show a bit more.

The Neighbours-Thomas-Kyrou line has been atrocious. Just awful passing for three periods outside of that PPG. Buchnevich has been terrible too.

That was a waste of 2.5 hours of my life.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Looks like I missed a great game.

 

[Spektre]

I was told the Blues got faster and heavier, more physical….

Holloway is the only speed I have seen added. I definitely don’t see a more physical team.

This team is extremely hard to watch. I guess they could all flip a switch when it counts, but…. somehow I doubt it

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

I didn't expect us to be particularly good this season, but I thought we would play to an identity that would make us tough to play against. Based on what we have shown so far it looks like I'm 1/2 right. We don't look to be particularly good.

 

[Quaz]

Is Bannister going to be a good coach? So far in the preseason he doesn’t seem to be able to get the team to play hard. I feel like they have been outplayed every game. They can’t afford to start the season in a hole by coming out flat.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Gross.

 

[ExtraExtra888]

Dear God is this really how we are going to play again this season? Just bunkering down and hoping our goaltending saves us? No movement and no supporting each other in the offensive zone. Losing every board battle. Getting shots and passes constantly blocked because the other team knows exactly what we are trying. We added some interesting talent yet somehow it looks like the same thing as last year. Gross.

Guys, it's the pre-season...let's step back from the ledge lol

Don't tell me how to live my life

Buffalo and Calgary in the Stanley cup this year looking at the standings. Should be interesting

 

[rumrokh]

Liked what I saw from Perunovich, Kapanen, Texier, and Dean. Broberg had good and bad, but more good. Suter showing shades of the warmed-over corpse of Eric Weinrich.

No one has the balls to take charge and lead. This is a leadership issue. Someone may be demanding leadership, but they're not commanding it.
