Hopefully Holloway is just something simple like the neck muscle cramping. We are doing a good job treading water in the standings with all these injuries.

Missed the game. Good to get the win tonight.

Glad to hear Holloway is doing ok, and with such a scare that is above all else.

But also a kick in the nuts to have him and Broberg both go out so quickly.

Buch looks like he’s getting more comfortable at center, he’s seems to be in the right spot on the ice at the right time and making good plays out there. Looking like his old self.

Man that Holloway injury was goddamn terrifying, relieved to hear it sounds like he’s should be ok.

You can't say that. Schenn is perfect. You have to blame Kyrou.

Is this supposed to be funny or what? Kyrou is the golden boy who can do no wrong to some people. People act like Schenn is garbage when it's not the case at all.

Hell of a game from the bottom six. I've seen a lot of people talking smack about Faksa but he had a really strong game. Walker is one of my favorite Blues and I wish he could play every game. Also gotta give a shout out to Suter. He's been playing some damn good hockey lately to show the old man has some game left. Great team win.

IF The Blues give Suter enough rest throughout the season, he should be able to give them quality games and more minutes later, when it will count more.

True although we can't really afford to give him much rest at the moment. Him, Parayko and Faulk are doing some pretty heavy lifting with Leddy and Broberg out. Suter is playing some pretty crazy minutes right now and leads the team at +8. Pretty impressive considering he's the oldest skater in the league.

I agree that we have to use him to the hilt right now because we're so shorthanded on NHL quality defencemen. He can get his rest and minutes rationing after Broberg comes back.

I thought Bolduc played well in the minutes he got, but this is 2 games in a row he’s only played 10 mins.

If they’re only going to give him 10 mins, especially on a night when another forward goes down with an injury, then you may as well just send Bolduc down to the A to get big minutes.

Whose minutes should have been cut last night to give Bolduc more ice time? Faksa, Walker, Sunny and Torpo played great and even Saad only played 13:30. I thought Bolduc played pretty well also but coach isn't gonna put him in when we're protecting a lead in the third period.

The guys I mentioned have all earned the coach's trust defensively but I wouldn't trust an inexperienced rookie like Bolduc to protect a lead against a team like Tampa. I'm guessing that's the main reason his ice time is less than the others.
