projected lineup vs. Toronto, per Blues:

Buchnevich-Thomas-Kyrou
Neighbours-Schenn-Kapanen
Saad-Hayes-Blais
Toropchenko-Sundqvist-Walker

Leddy-Parayko
Krug-Kessel
Scandella-Rosen

Hofer

Matthews and Kyrou both with early partial breakaways. Neither finished. Post for Matthews, Kyrou tried 5 hole

If Kyrou can't make the 5-hole, he shouldn't be playing in Nooners.

I forgot the game was at noon and since no score updates i got my 1st int 0-0 update and was like"dafuq is a blues game on at noon on a monday"

Blues used to be a tough matchup for Toronto but not now. Toronto owns us this year.

Krug has been a turnover machine..reminding me much of barret jackman

Thats the refs saying they wanna go home. That was a bs.non-call

You cannot convince me that Bobby McMann is a real person. You just can't.

Blues getting owned by a 27 year old undrafted guy who now has 4 of his 8 goals on the year vs a team not even in their conference.

Just when I allowed myself to buy back into these team they've gone and shit the bed two straight games. Sell Sell Sell.

Is it Scandella, Kapanen, Vrana?

I remember thinking Vrana would be our next perennial 30 goal guy. I don't know why. I remember thinking that about Chris Stewart too.

Sejna anyone

Stewart had back-to-back 28 goal seasons, his second and third years in the NHL. While with the Blues, he averaged a pro-rated 24.5 goals per 82 games. But it always seemed like his goals came in spurts, and usually against weaker teams rather than in important games or against tougher opponents. He always left you thinking he was about to take the 'next step' and become that 30+ goal scorer who could elevate his game, but instead he just left you wanting more. He hung on in the league for another six seasons after leaving the Blues, but was never really the factor he could have been.


Vrana also has averaged 24.6 goals per 82 games throughout his career so far. He's always seemed so close to becoming a 30+ goal scorer, sometimes at a 40+ goal pace in partial seasons. He just doesn't seem to put it all together. He turns 28 this month, so I doubt he's going to break through as a top-line scoring threat, but he could still be a middle-six scoring guy. I just don't think he'll do that here.

Sejna only ever played 49 NHL games, so... yeah, can't argue with you there.

Let’s see what develops from here. Blues just don’t match up well with Leafs at all. And I didn’t like Nashville losing 9-2 before their game against the Blues. You could see that one coming. We kicked Edmontons ass the other night so let’s see if this is just a bump in the road.

The Preds had given up at least 4 goals in six straight games before the Blues game. It was a bad bad loss.

You never felt the heat of Hobey Baker winning, Patrick Roy beating 2003 Peter Sejna, and that's fair.

Peter Sejna's claim to fame; The last player to ever score on Patrick Roy.

I remember listening to the game on the radio in the tractor.
