I love that the Kraken really look stupid at this point after turning down Tarasenko for free.

But they got "The Schwartz!"

 

[Zezel’s Pretzels]

The conspiracy theorist in me believes they made him the 1st star to fire up the crowd for him. Rarely does a shutout goalie NOT get the 1st star

IT’S A CONSPIRACY, SHEEPLE! WAKE UP!!!!

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Let’s start a Vladi for Mayor Campaign! Bernie with the good ideas! Lol

 

[Ginger Papa]

Great game from
HUSSO

Sniping by Vlad

And a great defensive effort by the Team

Congratulations on another Win. Thank you for being so welcoming yet again.

 

[LGB51]

Vladdy's like shut up Panger, you know I don't like to talk about myself especially when I make great plays.

as you said our team is deep Bro

 

[Tryblot]

He ain't leaving.

Vladi right now;

 

[mk80]

Hopefully this city can convince him to stay. Glad the fans have reacted this way to him and his request.

His reaction on the bench was great, I think him being healthy now and off to a great start he's definitely enjoying just playing hockey again.

 

[Robb_K]

What a bank shot by Perron lmao.

3-0 Blues!

I bet he's good at billiards.

Yet another thing to love about this team. The Barbashev-Tarasenko connection.

Man, I had a dream that the Blues start out 5 and 0 and win the last game on two great goals by Vlady and a shutout from Husso.

Anyone know when the season starts?

LET's GO BLUES!

 

[CoMoBlues]

It’s tough to keep so many guys at point-per-game, when you get shut out. Boys need a third period touchdown to keep the offense humming at break-neck speed.

Meh, got the field goal, so still a football score.

Three main takeaways, one this game specific, the other 2 in general.

1. Husso looked completely different from last season, this is what we thought he could be from his play in the minors. If he can perform with a sv% of 91% or better, then we can challenge for the division. It's a combo of not dropping games when Binnington needs a rest, and having someone to come in if Binnington hits a slump. A quality backup has a pretty significant impact on final standings.

2. Coaches. They clearly put in work over the summer and have made key tweaks to our transition and PK, and it's paying off big time. Especially in transition, the team speed is dramatically improved. This was an area I was worried about, but props to the group.

3. Tarasenko. His skating is the best it's been in years. His speed, stamina, and agility are back from his younger days. Obvious that he put work in to focus a bit more on cardio and a bit less on bulk, and he's just a much more dangerous player because of it. On top of that, he's engaged all over the ice, back-checking hard. If he plays like this, Army isn't trading him regardless of the offer.

What a game by Husso! Only saw the second half of the game, but he made some big stops.

 

[Mike Liut]

Faulk and Thomas played great too

 

[Meatball]

A reminder that Husso had our only shutout last season.

 

[LGB51]

Close all night, still a good game to watch and the bLues pull it out to go 5-0 to start for the first time ever!

Let's Go Blues!

 

[LGB51]

Faulk and Thomas played great too

Faulk I was very happy with he really played well defensively tonight.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Is Buchnevic the new Perron when it comes to penalties?

He needs to be more careful. I'm pretty sure I saw Buch rough up a Kings player at center ice between plays...maybe 2nd period. Anyone else catch that. That could have been a penalty and I'm about 90% sure it was Buch.
