On one hand I want us to continue to tank to get a better draft position, but on the other hand I don't want to lose to the blackhawks

 

[AjaxManifesto]

This team deserves a nice train wreck....

Year setting up a bit like 06-07 when the Blues sold at the deadline, acquired two late first rounders and had their own 9th overall pick. Which they offered to Chicago for the #1 overall pick which Chicago declined and drafted Kane. Then the Blues moved out of the Couture spot (Jarmo was waiting to see if Voracek dropped) and took Eller, Cole and Perron who wound up with their names on the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 Cups. Fateful draft. Blues, Hawks and Sharks all were bad during the season and all profited from the draft. Not excited at the thought of either Hawks or Sharks ending up with a lottery pick though the Hawks are in dead last position now at .303. Anybody else who's currently down low I don't mind but not those two.

If we can't get 1st Overall I hope it's the Ducks or Jackets.

Major tank battle this evening.
I have faith in the Blues ability to finish with a pick in the 8-10 range; but damn, Chicago has us badly outgunned. They've basically got the M1A2 Abrams of NHL tanks, while the Blues are humming around in an old Panzer. I'm expecting 2-points tonight, but it's probably going to be a struggle.

 

[TheDizee]

Blues win big tonight

 

[MissouriMook]

Secord sucks!

 

[542365]

Go Blues. Either result is good.

 

[GoldenSeal]

After a missed appearance in Toronto due to a floundering, the mysterious Tuna Boat reappears. The dreaded Bluenote flag waves defiantly on its broomstick mast. The rower looks to you and whispers ‘Start Believing!’

 

[ValHaller]

No Tarasenko. Out sick

Wasn't he out sick once already this season as well?

 

[shpongle falls]

No Tarasenko

Hmm dinged up maybe

 

[Mike Liut]

No Tarasenko. Out sick

He’s sick from still being here. Get his ass out of here

 

[Reality Czech]

No Tarasenko. Out sick

He's still nauseous from that turnover the other night! Gonna be hard to tank tonight. If there's one thing the Blackhawks are better at than us, it's sucking.

I gotta say I really like these lines a lot more than anything we've tried this season. Buch and Schenn are ideal linemates for the captain and Acciari is more than capable of centering a solid third line. I hope we extend him after this season, he's been a bright spot.

 

[LGB]

Wouldn't mind beating the shit out of the Hawks tonight. Tank can resume later.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Leivo!

Lucky bounce off the ref lol

 

[Robb_K]

Nice positioning by Leivo to get that goal on the feed from Toropchenko! Blues get the opening goal!

 

[Mike Liut]

I cant believe the Hawks kept Toews and Kane all these rebuilding years. They should have been moved for a haul 5 years ago.

 

[Robb_K]

The Blues will need to kill off a penalty.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Of course it’s Kane

 

[Robb_K]

A tough screen to see through, and it was deflected, too. Binnington had no chance on that one.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

At a girl's Bball tourney.

How does the tank train look tonight?

we look about as good as the Hawks

He should be on the express train out of town.

Loved the guy when he was 100% Blue.

But these last few seasons you can tell he is just waiting to be delt. He is about 80% Blue in his head.

we look about as good as the Hawks

Those bastards will probably get the #1 pick

 

[Robb_K]

Good kill!
