Strome cleared COVID protocols, he practiced today, looks like he will play tomorrow.

I wonder if Gauthier finally makes the lineup since McKegg wont be needed anymore.

Panarin, Zib, Strome
LAF, Chytil, Blais
Kreider, Rooney, Goodrow
Hunt, McKegg, Reaves

I’d like that very much but they won’t move kreider to the 3rd

The thing is, to this point, they have yet to put Gauthier in the lineup and highly doubt they do with Strome back. If Kakko is back its a much easier decision.

What happens if Kakko isnt ready to go? Who goes there? Theyre not gonna move up Reaves or Hunt. I highly doubt Barron gets a spot on his off side in the top 6. As much as we hate pointing it out but theyre 4-0 with McKegg there.

I highly doubt CK20 would accept a trade anywhere, Mika and him are best buds and the team is on the uptick even if they were out of a playoff spot by then, although I think it is highly unlikely we are.

It’s hard to do. But I’d really like the kid line to stay in tact. They were dominant in Nashvegas.

Did anyone see Kakko is probably ready to play tomorrow? Not sure it’s definite tho

I dont want that kid's line touched, Blais physical play kinda protects them, gets them a little space and also his hands helps create chances for them.

Reports I saw on Kakko say he will be available for Monday but more than likely to expect him on Friday. No reason for them to rush anything with him.

Yea agreed on Kakko

I forgot who it was, maybe the buchegros/melrose pair, said when the Blues were on the cup run that Blais was one of the most underrated players/prospects in the NHL (-in their early 20s). Injuries are always his bugaboo. Could never stay healthy long enough. But man his game a breath of fresh air for me. He does need to cool it sometimes, he ganders to the box quite often

He’s a freakin stud. I’ve already said Buch-who about 15 times already.now he’s making Kravtsov expendable. Matter of fact I think it’s 100% he’s gets traded lol I can’t wait til a Ranger knocks his ass into next week, thus making him terrified to play them😈Good freakin riddance

Hes already surpassed Lemieux in the 6 games weve played.

He can stay on his feet which is already better.

The last couple games have been much improved on the penalties. But I did mention he needs to chill with the retaliatory stuff if its not needed.

with 5 days until next game - they better (frank)ing win tonight.

what a dud the knicks put up in msg last night. im going to be fuming if the rangers do something similiar

If he doesnt, he will get the phantom calls against him like Brandon did.

Well Lemieux had a bad reputation with the refs. Blais hasnt done anything.

every team in the metro is above hockey .500

This is what I deal with on a regular basis…some knucklehead thinks Kreider should be on the 4th line because he didn’t fight Wilson last year. It’s torture

I have to be a doosh him now haha

Not here btw
