Wonder if Elliott will get the following Blues game after he lets in at least 4 tonight..

Legit team looking for a bounce-back performance after losing to the Oilers.. Carolina had the same motivation going into last game and they're far worse than the Blues..

Well at least we know who is being the negative Nelly tonight...

Wonder when we pull the trigger on Bishop/Fleury.

EDIT: F*ck that. Check out Gillies' stats so far. Let's play Johnson until he has a bad outing then call up the kid for a start.

You were losing focus and then regained it!! Well done sir!!

I wonder how much GG's work is being influenced by Cameron. According to Devon Burke who criticised Cameron's hire (written 3 months ago!) Cameron may have been hired as much for his head coaching experience to act as a "mentor" for GG as for working on the PP.
If Cameron's spending all his time telling GG how to be a head coach that could explain a lot of things.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing,'but they did that to Johnny a few years back and it payed dividends. I'm thinking it's good for players to see the game from the press box on occasion for these young guys..

The Blues pursuit of the puck and the Flames turnovers are making this game look like an NHL team is playing against an AHL team.

The Flames can't control passes, can't carry the puck, have had at least three defensive breakdowns. I just don't believe how bad they look so far and I know it's early, but holy poop do they look terrible.

Johnson, though

Blues announcers are talking about how deep the Flames defense is playing, right up against the blue line. So far its cost them some attack zone time missing pucks and having them slip into the neutral zone. Something to keep an eye on during the game and see if they change that pattern

Absolutely. There have been four or five passes to the point where the puck went out because the D was well behind the blueline.

It's hard to watch. GG has been preaching about puck control,special teams and turnovers since the summer. That's all they've been doing these first games. I hope his system start turning out soon.

Tell me about it. I'm on the East Coast too but apparently I'm a glutton for punishment.

Dougie needs to get his poop together.

so i have to ask, is Gaudreau a pompous ass? don't know much about him but he trademarked Johnny Hockey. I remember watching him with Boston College and liking him. think he is a great player but maybe too full of himself??

He did it on the advice of his agent. The reasoning being someone could use it for something he didn't agree with. A reporter brought it up at the all star game and he seemed pretty embarrassed by having to do it.
