  1. Rest of this season im just watching kapanen and vrana

    Could be 2 massive pieces for us next season

  2. I hope they thrive as being focal pieces. Build up that value. Show the league they are legitimate top 6 players and then ship em to a contender next year.

    This is the way.

  3. Very interested to see Vrana. Could be a big part of the team if he’s able to return to form, hopefully the move is just what he needed.

  4. The recent acquisitions all playing tonight will be very exciting. I hope we stomp the yotes and build some confidence in the club we’ve currently got.

    I’m thinking Army is saving the picks for the draft cause he wants younger players and it’s a great class coming up.

  5. Love the new look ‘hard luck Blues’. Excited to watch the game tonight for the first time in a while.

  6. Interested in Vrana obviously, but this is another big loss in the Bedard hunt. Right now the Blues are just 10 points ahead of every team not named Columbus, and they’re just 13 ahead of them. That’s 6 wins and an OT loss swing in 20 games. we’ve seen weirder.

    Either way you’re hoping to drop below ARI to #5 which is the most likely lowest spot you get. And 4 point swing tonight helps that

  7. I almost want to see if changing up the D would help more. I kind of want something like:

    Parayko-Faulk

    Leddy-Tucker

    Krug-Bortuzzo

  8. Say what you want about the Mullett Arena, it’s business in front, but a party in the back.

  9. Is Perunovich ever coming back up this year? We should be trying to get him some reps no? Assuming we’re gonna give him another 1 year like this to prove it next year?
