[Linkens Mastery]

It's The Eve of The Eve of Christmas and the Blues are going up against Detroit and Tallbutt. If Blues are planning to turn around the season tonight would probably be the night to do that. Let's see if the Blues can have a Merry Christmas.

Big winning streak ahead of us. Starts tonight in LCA, let’s go boys. Calling a bolduc goal

I really don't like the decision to start Binner tonight.

Hofer has been unquestionably better than Binner since Thanksgiving. In that stretch, Binner is 1-4-2 with an .888 SV% while Hofer is 3-0-1 with a .927 SV%. The numbers are uglier if you just look at Binner's last 5 games (0-4-1 with an .874 SV%). I don't think Binner has played quite as poorly as those number suggest. But Hofer is objectively outplaying him right now (over a really small sample).

This is about as much of a must-win game as you can have heading into the Christmas break. I very much think we should be playing the goalie who is currently giving us the best chance to win and that would have come with the additional benefit of giving Binner several days off to hit the re-set button. You could still play him against Nashville with the intention of starting him in the Winter Classic.

This is exactly the type of game where I'd like us to utilize our strong #2 goalie.

I just don't understand Texier being thrown on to the top line. He has the skill to be a top 6 player, but he isn't responsible enough to be in the lineup, let alone the top line. Just way too chaotic.

 

[BlueOil]

red wings have looked rough this year, the blues should find a way to take 2 points tonight

Because f*** giving top line time to the guy that has actually earned it, we're gonna give it to f***ing Texier that can barely make the line up.

I’m also calling for a Bolduc goal

He owes us 2 now.

Dudes been playing well and Detroit’s middle lineup won’t contain him.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

I’m happy that Neighbours and Bolduc are together. I think both could really benefit from the other. Bolduc is engaged but can’t make room for himself just yet while Neighbours is excellent about drawing opposing players in. Just having a professional with experience like Sunny or Faksa should facilitate zone movement well enough to let the young guys open up a bit.

Blues win 4-2 tonight. Fowler scores his first as a Blue.

 

[TheDizee]

These use to be the biggest games of the regular seasons, shame what their move to the East has done to the rivalry.

It’s a shame Army f’d that up too!

 

[StlBigFly]

I hope Debrincat has an absolutely awful game so I can abandon my desire for him on our team.

If anyone is into KMFDM they remastered the Juke Joint Jezebel video for their 40th Anniversary

 

[StLewis11]

Wondering why Faksa is out, after playing vs. Florida. Maybe not 100%?

Preview of tonight's game:

 

[Xerloris]

did this mother f***er just say tiyota?

 

[BlueMed]

Parayko has certainly stepped it up offensively this season.

 

[TheOrganist]

“He’s in the clear!” (As the back checker catches up to Parayko. Kelly has no idea what “in the clear” means)

I think we’ve had 3 odd man rushes and no shots.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

The ever-festive Red Wings continue to look ridiculous, proudly sporting their best Santa Claus impersonator attire tonight.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Great little touch pass by Fowler to Neighbours there

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Holloway and Kyrou with some fun right there

 

[HighNote]

did this mother f***er just say tiyota?

It always annoys me when people say fairly common words or brands completely wrong. Same with Hyundai. It's not tiyota, and it's not hundye.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

LETS GOOOOOO KYROU TO FOWLER TO HOLOWAAAAAAY

Nice little gift from Vladi.
