Bob Duff: Ott ready to face former team New Red Wing Steve Ott will face his old team the St. Louis Blues on Thursday.

I like Ott. thats a pretty good 4th line with Miller and Glendening.

The next few games are going to be a tough test,

Blues, Bruins and panthers, if they win 2 of 3 it to be would be a solid 10 game stint,

7-3

I have tempered expectations still despite them winning lately. I do like the additions from this off season as they are meeting and in some cases (Vanek) exceeding them.

They are saying the right things, and seem to be winning games that they would have lost or placed themselves into OT/SO, so so far its been nice... without star power though, im still thinking we finish similar to last year by just being out or just being in.
