Not sure why they would break up Faulk and Krug? I think Berube will end up switching things up during the game. I predict we come out flat.

With Parayko and Perunovich out of the lineup you have to spread the D talent out. Keeping Krug-Faulk together leaves you with a pretty brutal bottom 4 of your defense. Creating 2 competent pairs out of Mikkola, Scandella, Walman, and Bortz is a daunting task. There just aren't enough puck skills in that group to make 2 competent pairings.

schwartz is hurt?

what a shocker!

 

[Stealth JD]

The Kraken are so bad; Dallas took it to them last night and I'd expect the Blues to do the same.
So I'm obviously betting my life's savings on the Kraken winning tonight.

 

[Joshuar56]

Even with the Kraken it's gonna be a tough game with so many out. Blues are basically playing with 2 lines.

Yep, we all know how this ends (god I hope I’m wrong)

 

[LGB]

I like the lines for what we have. Especially interested to see how the second line does with Saad.

And they took Avalanche to OT the game before after being up 3-1.

 

[Blanick]

This is the type of game that scares me. By all accounts we should win even with the players missing. The Kraken aren't going to just give it to us though, we have to put in the work.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

We are missing key pieces.

Chemistry might be off tonight

 

[mk80]

Let's Go Blues!

Edit: Hasn't been said yet but it's the return of Dunn

 

[Blueline2757]

Panger said last broadcast that he loves them.

I think they are ugly myself.

 

[Blueline2757]

Yeah I don't like them either. They could've done better.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Lots of Kyrou tonight so far

 

[Blanick]

Barby trying to be too cute there. Have to just put that on net.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Faulk and Thomas wearing As tonight.

 

[Robb_K]

Blues on the power play!!!

 

[Blanick]

Meh, not much of slash there.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]
