Jason Millen: Binnington's struggles and injuries mount as Blues travel to face the Sens Binnington's struggles and injuries mount as Blues travel to face the Sens

Awesome gesture by O'Reilly and his family.

Let's hope the B squad can get two points from the Ottawa B squad.

It will be nice when we get our injured guys back we can stay healthy it will be nice to see a team with Perron back as well as boom boom can do. Then getting 91 back will be nice as well. We have a hard time scoring when we are a patched together team.

Anyone see why Bortuzzo decided not to skate back for the icing that lead to the goal?

This is bullpoop. This is embarrassing. 1-2 decent scoring chances against a team you should beat. I know any team can beat any team but we should have beaten them. 32 shots how many were actually decent chances, 3? Go ahead Blues keeping taking shots from the point all goddamn game. Absolutely no chances down low or in the slot. All from the outside.


This team is going nowhere fast Keep it up. At this pace we will be on the outside looking in and that great run we had will be for naught.

Sorry but imho that goal falls directly on the Blue that has disappointed me the most this season, Robby Fabbri. He blows the play on the puck and stops playing, pouting instead and gets beat by his man. He'll be watching on Saturday from the press box I would guess.

I expect Fabbri to have some rust but he has earned his seat to watch the games.

Oh I agree it's on Fabbri too he gave up and floated at the blue line, but that becomes moot if Bortz gets the icing call.

you guys were dominant last night, even without some of your top offensive guys. I'm not complaining, but sens were lucky to walk away with that win.....Nilsson absolutely stole that game.

I picked the blues to come out of the west in my pool at the beginning of the year, and if they're healthy I see no reason why they can't

Nope, they're going to be a Wild Card team and get wiped out by Calgary or San Jose in the first round.

The only thing they have going for them is one line when it's healthy. If any part of Schenn-ROR-Tarasenko is missing, this is a very bad hockey team.

you would obviously know more than me as I only see them play twice a year, but I think they're more than a one-line team. guys like Bozak, perron, Schwartz, etc, are all good players.

every teams success is going to be dependant on health. if you take gaudreau away from cgy, or pavelski away from SJ, or Forsberg away from nsh....all those teams are going to suffer.

I think, when healthy, the blues are as good as any team in the west

Hate to say it but Id prolly go back to Allen on Saturday. He didn't really make any mistakes.

Allen has been playing well. I would still lean on Binnington and see if he can rebound from some of his mistakes/games, and play Allen as well. I personally want them to play them like 60/40 leaning on Binnington as the 60 until one or the other proves they need to play more.

Until they figure out how to score, it won't much matter. Both guys are giving you about the same level of play right now.

Yep. Even Binnington's one mistake he played well. Even Jake's weak goals against the Sharks he played well enough to get them the win and did it sgain.

What the hell is wrong with Fabbri? This just is not like him.

IMO he still needs another full season before we can expect him to be anything close to where he was pre-injuries.

It has to be hard not to focus on the knee at all times. He has to get comfortable playing and not think about it before he can be a good player again.
