No time for me to list lineups, players out and history between the 2 teams. Big news is Radlov is back for The Stars, and Binnington is still not in yet, and Lindgren is in goal.
Lindgren has looked good, so far.

2Apparently the Stars coach really ripped his players after the loss to the Blues, so they figure to come out a lot harder this time.
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
3Not much has happened so far in this game (The 1st Period). It seemed like the two teams were mostly feeling each other out. The Blues had the best chances, and The Russian Line played the best, by far. Lindgren has looked good, as usual.

4Nice glove save by Lindgren after The Blues had trouble getting the puck up ice, with their 3rd defensive pairing. But once they do, Logan Brown shovels the puck into the net after jumping on the wide shot from the point!!!! Blues lead 1-0!!!!

5Toropchenko with a great hard shot!!! Blues are really starting to storm the net!!!
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
6Lundqvist's line had a great last shift. Mikkola just got off a good, strong shot, after The Russian Line made a couple great passes. The Blues are starting to heat up now.
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
7Blues get a penalty on Mikkola, and will need to kill it off to keep their lead.
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
8Blues almost got a gift shorty, as The Stars' goalie mishandles a soft lob!!!
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
9Saad and Barbashev almost score on a 2 on 1!!! Great penalty kill by The Blues, as they had the 3 best scoring chances the whole time they were shorthanded. Two of them SHOULD have been goals, if not for making too many passes!
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
10Logan Brown is totally playing his way into a permanent role on the team.
The other night they were talking on the radio how his role is going to be a lot like Pat Maroon's was.

11The Russian line with another fine passing play and scoring chance!
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
12Another fine long-reached glove save by Lindgren!
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
13Scandella takes a tripping penalty. Another clutch penalty kill needed, in a game where they should be ahead at least 4 or 5 to 1, if not for too many passes on odd-man rushes.

15Great kil!!! The Stars never really got set up, and got no chances!
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
16Yes! Ottawa was using him completely the wrong way. He's figuring out his new role, and warming up to it!!BluesSK wrote: Fri Dec 17, 2021 8:26 pm Logan Brown is totally playing his way into a permanent role on the team.

17With 10 seconds left in the period, Tarasenko spins around and wrists it into the net after jumping on the loose puck!!!! Blues lead 2-0!!!!

18A dominating 2nd Period by The Blues. But they should have scored 2 or 3 more goals if not for trying to be too fancy, making too many passes. Still, a 2-0 lead is bbetter than a kick in the groin!
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
19Lots to be happy about in this game: The continued improvement of The Russian Line, the Parayko-Mikkola (new shutdown pairing), The great 4th Line (energy line), Lindgren staying hot, Tarasenko and Parayko both looking the healthiest they have since their last injuries, The Blues PK teams playing better and better, Toropchenko and Peca looking more comfortable in NHL play.
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
20Long reach kick save by Lindgren, robbing The Stars!!!
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
21Buchnevich had a great chance in front, but hesitated too long, and allowed a defender to stop him.
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
23Another great save by Lindgren, who barely could make out that a shot was taken through several screens. But Joshua takes a penalty.
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
24Short handed penalty make up call isn't made.
Re: Blues vs. Dallas Stars GDT Friday, December 17, 2021
25Buchnevich blows the penalty shot after The Stars' goalie throws his stick to stop the puck!
