Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight we stop by New Jersey. We are still without RoR, Tarasenko, Krug, Scandella, Perunovich, and I think that's it? Please keep your expectations to lower than low. It's going to be a long month.

PROJECTED LINEUP

Forwards

Buchnevich - Thomas - Kyrou
Saad - Schenn - Barbashev
Neighbours - Acciari - Leivo
Toropchenko - Alexandrov - Pitlick

Defense

Mikkola - Parayko
Leddy - Faulk
Rosen - Bortuzzo

Goalie

Binnington

That train photo was taken less than an hour from where I lived in Colorado! I recognized that section of the Arkansas River before even noticing that 'Royal Gorge' was literally written on the train.

I don't expect anything that happens during the Blues game to brighten my day as much as that did.

Devils fan coming in peace .
You guys played well against the Leafs. Your top 6 is still very good and done very promising players like Neighbors .
D looks decent as well , I wouldn’t be so down on chances . Devils have played pretty underwhelming after their hot start . If Blackwood gets the start , I think you guys have a very good chance in winning . Our home record is dog shit too .
Are you guys cheering to tank or want to win as much as possible ? It’s still a very deep team ?
Anyways , I am liking forward to watching Thomas , Kyrou and your other dakn hood players . Hoping for a good game and no injuries on either side !

We want the best pick possible, but for players to not be complete dog shit, which I understand is a complete non answer.

It's just a flawed roster. Defense lacks a true #1, and when healthy Krug should be on the 3rd pair, so we are lacking a top 4 LD that is defensively responsible to be either Parayko or Faulk. Binnington is better than some think, but he's mentally fragile and we run him into the ground, that's why he'll have some really good stretches and stretches where he should just be on the bench. Our forward core is really missing Perron, because he fit so well with ROR, and we really haven't found a top 6 quality replacement to put with O'Reilly, so we essentially lost a top 6 line when Perron left.

We've been having a very bad year. We're just ready for the TDL to be done and over with. Plus the TankTown Express is just for fun.

Welcome. Thanks for kind words. Our fan base is still split between folks wanting to make playoffs and others (like me) who want to tank hard for Bedard.

I'm rooting for every game to go 8-7 but with us losing. Makes losing fun if we are scoring a lot of goals

This is the St Louis Blues
there is zero chance of us getting Bedard, we have more of a chance of the league randomly awarding Thomas and Kyrou to other teams than us getting a lottery pick

Think I’d rather watch our next 1st round pick play Czechia for WJC gold than watch Blues tonight. Will probably tune in after.

I want to win and you never know what happens in the playoffs. But our GM is smart and trades when he thinks we won't win the Cup. I respect that.
