GDT: Opening Night: Blues vs. Wings

[MissouriBlues2008]

Long story short someone asked about Tarasenko's nickname and Oshie said that they were going to call him Frank. So it latched on with us.

Apparently Tarasenko didn't like to be called Tank.

 

[illninofan*]

That pressure.

Wow.

 

[MissouriBlues2008]

We want tacos!!

 

[Robb_K]

Man! Tarasenko sure is good wit his stick. He's going to score a LOT of Goals!! Perron draws yet another penalty with his good stickhandling!

 

[Tryblot]

Jesus. St. Louis is absolutely dominating them tonight.

 

[BlueNhockeytown]

Perron

He has made some great passes tonight.

 

[MissouriBlues2008]

Unfortunately this good games comes on a sad day.

Decided to leave Scottrade and head for the Musial Statue to get fan reaction. I think that's the bigger story tonight. #stlcards

Another great period.

 

[StLewis11]

Great 2 periods; how about a PP goal to start off the 3rd by Tarasenko?

 

[Alklha]

No idea how we didn't add a fifth before drawing that penalty! Another great period.

 

[brendan]

great period

finish it off with another one

 

[BlueDream]

Petro to Oshie was nice.

Detroit looks absolutely terrible, good lord.

 

[Mike Liut]

I don't even think the Blues are playing their aggressive game either. Detroit is too soft to be aggressive with.

 

[fimoknete]

wings fan here.
tarasenko is awesome. congratz to that player. i am jealous.

 

[Old Blueser]

yeah, you can't take one of the best d-men ever away (lidstrom) and not notice.That's a lot of ice time to cover

 

[MissouriBlues2008]

Did Pat Parris just say the Blues were taking care of the Red Birds?

I'm guessing Wings fans haven't see their team play this badly in a long, long time. They are just speed bumps out there.

How sweet it would be...

 

[Chibi]

Great goal by Oshie! Ask thanks to the 'Eye of the Petro'!

 

[M0NTY26]

Hey guys... what are you expecting out of Oshie and Stewart this year?

 

[bluesman11]

There’s no doubt Detroit is helping the cause but the overall defense looks good. I'm glad to see that Hitchcock still has them playing a very good game in all three zones. I would say they really aren't playing as well as they could.

 

[Alklha]

Outshooting the Wings 27-7 through 2. Fewest shots for the Red Wings through 2 periods for 24 years.

 

[Mr Dangles]

I read over on the Wings board where somebody asked where the Wings are. Somebody else replied that they retired.

Are the Wings one of the older teams in the NHL?

Ya, 2nd oldest. Even with losing Lidstrom and Stuart.

 

[Robb_K]

I don't even think the Blues are playing their aggressive game either. Detroit is too soft to be aggressive with.

Yet they are leading in hits 20-8. I'd love to see The Blues play their aggressive/tough game against The Wings and lead in hits 40-12! And they'd win that game 12-0!

 

[Lord Helix]

I guess my worst player would be Perron. Not necessarily a bad thing on a night like this though.
