The team with the better record should be the home team in these round robin games. It would be a small reward for having the better regular season.

Whatever, Blues hockey is on. Go Blues.

 

[Chet Manly]

Hockey, bitches.

Wish we had a few more warm up games, but in not complaining.

I have a feeling we're all going to be complaining about the ice.

 

[BlueDream]

I don’t care if the Blues win or lose any of the seeding games. As long as they look competitive and start finding their game, that’s enough for me.

 

[Honeycutt]

Lets go Blues!!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Holy SHIT boys let’s gooooooo

 

[execwrite1]

The NHL has done a good job of creating this tournament on the fly. Been fun to watch already and with the stakes so high every game is important. Someone compared it to March Madness and that's just what we have - hockey style.

Really expect that the Blues fate will hinge to a large degree on Binnington. Can he make the big saves at the crucial times like last year.

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Just don't suck.

 

[Stealth JD]

Another meaningless game of importance...to be handled merely as an opportunity to work on timing, chemistry and puck-control.

Let's go Blues!

 

[Meatball]

Dunn hurt?

 

[Spear]

Dunn hurt?

From Blues website:

Berube was not ready to reveal his lineup for Sunday's game, but he did say that everyone - including defenseman Vince Dunn, who missed several days of training camp and Wednesday's exhibition - is available to play.

 

[Meatball]

From Blues website:

Excellent.

Dunn-Petro
Scandella-Parayko
Gunnarson-Faulk

Would be nice.

 

[Robb_K]

I'm ready. Go Blues! ALL the way!!!

 

[brokeu91]

Let's do this thing! Go Blues!

 

[mk80]

Let's Go Blues!

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Expecting us to lose tonight. I don't think we are at battle speed yet.

 

[BlueDream]

Excellent.

Dunn-Petro
Scandella-Parayko
Gunnarson-Faulk

Would be nice.

Doubt he’ll be on the top pair. Heck he still might not even play tonight.

 

[Spektre]

Blues hockey in August??? I’ll take it

 

[Mike Liut]

3 games of conditioning and game speed. That’s all I look at it as.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Dunn hurt?

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought Dunn was out with Covid. He was fit to return, but isn't up to speed yet. But now I'm wondering if I assumed it was Covid and it was some other injury.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought Dunn was out with Covid. He was fit to return, but isn't up to speed yet. But now I'm wondering if I assumed it was Covid and it was some other injury.

I wonder if he's recovered from Covid but has some lingering effects like has been reported in some instances regarding people who have had it.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

well well well .. so here we are

 

[Blueline2757]

I got my all of my yard work done plus some other house projects. And now time to have a cold beverage, relax and watch some hockey. Let's do this thing.

Let's go Blues!!!!!

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought Dunn was out with Covid. He was fit to return, but isn't up to speed yet. But now I'm wondering if I assumed it was Covid and it was some other injury.

just hope he's back by the end of the round robin, as he adds that Vince Dunn punch to our lineup
