The Blues can't afford Jimmy to be out of the line-up, especially with Holloway still out. But even with Holloway back, I wouldn't take him out, he gets more acclimated to NHL play, and used to playing with his teammates with every shift. The Blues need him to be the most comfortable doing that going into The Playoffs. WITH him AND Holloway in, they can ice 3 decent scoring lines and The 4th (energy)Line which can also score once in a while.

I don't follow. Jimmy has only played 40 games this year prior to his first 3 NHL games as a Blue. He needs to get as many shifts as possible to get acclimated. He's not going to gain considerable strength and muscle mass between now and the playoffs. That's an off-season necessity that will take 3-4 months of dedicated nutrition and strength training. Leave Jimmy in the lineup, and he will get progressively more comfortable in the NHL.

Kyrou def missed his buddy tonight. That line got out possessed dramatically and that was the least noticeable Kyrou has been in a while. Thomas-Buch-Snuggy on the other hand was matched up against MacKinnon and won the possession battle and outchanced that line at even strength. That was a very ROR-like performance from Thomas.

After some thought, I am going to keep my name Goldenseal. Since the crash that de-evolved me from BlueSeal down to just plain old Golden, I have realized that maybe it's a sign. Since the HFboards crash, the Blues have been savages, as if we got transported to some alternate reality 2019. So, because I'm superstitious and I don't want to say more than that for obvious reasons, well... I guess I'm stuck with this name lol.

No, and I take that as a good sign. If he was done for the season they'd say what it is.

I'm at the point that I want the Flames to win so they can pass Minnesota.
Blues have a 98.7% chance of making the playoffs according to MoneyPuck. I'm not worried about CGY.

I had a 2012 account which in 2019 was named STLomachenko att, was also Winnington51 and Frosted Tarasenk O's at points. I changed it a few time after the 18'-19' season and in the 23' - '24' season stopped posting and reading for awhile and ended up forgetting the login info when I came back. Hence the new account.
Great to win 12 in a row but having the final score be 5-4 after being up 4-0 is frustrating.
Binnington played great for 57 minutes. The Blues franchise has to be the worst at giving up 6v5 goals. It’s disappointing to see the team stop playing aggressively when playing with a big lead.
Bolduc continues his tear. Snuggerud came close to getting his first goal. It’ll happen soon if he sticks with Thomas. Snuggerud’s pass to Buch was sweet. It’s nice to see Neighbors finding another gear and generating offense.

Our scouts nailed it with Bolduc. I was lukewarm with that pick - he wasn’t really in my radar.

The Blues have given up more goals against with the opposing goalie pulled than all but one team in the NHL this season. That team? Craig Berube's Toronto Maple Leafs.
What’s that total look like over the last 5 years?

That would take some time to figure out. Here's where I found the stats. Not updated with tonight's 2 GA EN effort: https://morehockeystats.com/teams/en
That doesn’t surprise me.
Berube also pulled the goalie WAY too early all the time. Berube’s biggest weakness by far is 6 on 5 situations, he absolutely sucks at them regardless if his team is leading or trailing.
Looks like our players have still carried those habits to this day. Hopefully Monty can beat it out of them.
Because I think he’s spending way more than his body is used to while also being a potential target for physicality.
College has a low game cadence and there was a 16? Day gap between his last college game and the playoff game his team lost. Now he’s playing every other night and it’s just his first week of doing that.
I have no doubt living with Schenn is an enormous help, but neighbors hollowed out pretty hard his first 2 years after an early season string of games. That’s maybe fine for December regular season but it’s not a great idea maybe for round 1 of the playoffs. If the choice were as black and white as: the dudes gonna be 10lbs heavier in a week if he’s given a few games off to recover: I’m down to do that, cause I’ve seen way too many times young dudes drop down to very low body fat after their first big stretch of games. If he keeps playing ur turning his metabolism to full afterburner. If you have a better plan than that you can maintain his body weight to some degree. That will involve a day off.
Regardless of who makes the cut for playoff game 1; we should want Texier ready.
Id let Snuggerud’s body recover. It’s an investment.

It's fine to prefer that he is scratched, I vehemently disagree, but you can have that take. However, if we are projecting what will actually happen, there is no chance they sit Snuggerud on Monday. He played great and we're down a top 6 forward. Everybody from Monty to his linemates are raving about him right now. He also only has 3 NHL games under his belt. It would be beneficial to get more NHL experience before the playoffs start, so he can shake off any remaining nerves and build chemistry with the team.
