Yeah, welcome to St. Louis Carter Freaking Hutton!
Blues were down a few players due to injury, and NYR is a legitimate cup contender. Keep going strong boys!

Trading away Elliott was a move I thought might hurt the Blues, and I'll admit I don't know much about Hutton but he seems like he has the skills to be a great backup and has the ability to fill in if Allen (and likely when) goes down for a bit at some point.
A guy that backs up Pekka Rinne isn't going to get much time period since Rinne is a horse out there, but that doesn't mean the Blues didn't snag up a really competent backup (granted its been one game, but I like his attitude, confidence, and fundamentals).

Looks like we get to see Rattie on the 1st line. Steener to center the 2nd. Won't catch this one as I have to be up early. Go Blues!!!

I would've been okay with moving Yak up, but if that 3rd line keeps up, I don't care.JCShutout wrote:Looks like we get to see Rattie on the 1st line. Steener to center the 2nd. Won't catch this one as I have to be up early. Go Blues!!!

Re: 2016-2017 Blues (Hockey) Season
Weird. I had just read nhl.com's preview which put Steen on the 2nd. Probably won't matter, but I wouldn't break up Stastny and Tank right now as they are scoring in bunches. I assume they want to keep the 3rd line intact because they've shown some good chemistry the first few games. That's a LOT of speed on the wings with Paajarvi and Yakupov.MrCrowesGarden wrote:I would've been okay with moving Yak up, but if that 3rd line keeps up, I don't care.JCShutout wrote:Looks like we get to see Rattie on the 1st line.

Well, no 82-0. Sucks to lose it at the end like that, but it felt inevitable. Vancouver looked better than us IMO.

Yeah. Rangers looked better than us, too. We could easily be 2-2 instead of 3-0-1MrCrowesGarden wrote:Well, no 82-0. Sucks to lose it at the end like that, but it felt inevitable. Vancouver looked better than us IMO.

Bernie noted something this morning that was promising though... Said that Yakupov got moved up and is already earning more trust from the coaches. That's great to see.
