Looks like we’re going to be subjected to Perunovich again tonight.

I thought Peru looked good overall last game. Not surprised he's getting another game.

This game has all the makings of a trap game. Feeling good coming off a big win, going up against a "weaker" opponent....don't let off the gas pedal boys!

Glad Bolduc is back in for Kapanen. I’m sure this game means a lot to him and Bannister recognizes that fact.

 

[ExtremeColdWeather]

Hope good effort from the guys tonight, expect Habs starting with a lot of hustle.

 

[BlueDream]

Habs are a struggling team that is also dealing with injuries. If we want to stay afloat while Thomas is out, this is a game where we need to bank 2 points.

Homecoming game for Bolduc and the Joseph bros. Hope they come out flying.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Montreal has been atrocious. Play like we have the past two games and we'll win by 2+ easy.

They're playing with zero defensive structure right now. Their last game against the Rangers was probably the most piss poor effort I've seen from an NHL team in a long time.

This needs to be a 2-point game. Bolduc scores his first of the season tonight.

and of course the blues seemingly always do worse against weaker, unorganized teams.

Yes we have a knack for losing the games you'd think would be easy wins. Prove me wrong Blues

 

[PocketNines]

I am ceding playoff spots to Dallas, Winnipeg, Vegas, Vancouver, Edmonton and Colorado and I expect all of them to have a better record than the Blues at the end. Sharks, Ducks, Hawks all out.

That leaves seven teams IMO Blues have to finish top two to get in:

CGY 5-1-1
MIN 5-1-2
LA 4-2-2
STL 5-3-0
UTAH 4-3-1
SEA 4-3-1
NSH 2-5-0

Min lost in regulation and LA is up a goal on Utah after 2 periods
Calgary hosting Winnipeg, Seattle hosting Carolina and Nashville hosting Columbus today

Cool stuff. The Quebec Remparts bought a billboard to wish Bolduc a good first game in Montreal.

How dare you call us an unorganized team!

I’m out.
