Glad to see Rittich get the back to back starts. Earned it yesterday.

With Bennett out, I's like to see him replaced with Czarnik.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Czarnik
Quine - Ryan - Neal
Rychel - Jankowski - Hathaway

I hate to say this, but I think Sam could benefit with a few games off, watch from the press box, see things from a different angle, and reset.
I hope it's nothing serious though, we need his truculence.

Quine has filled his role well so far, hope that Rychel comes up and does the same

I've been beating this drum for 2 years now.

Never played a game in the minors, always been given a spot somewhere in the line-up, yet never been much of a threat offensively.

I think some time in the press box can truly help him see the game a bit differently and hopefully kick start him on a path to help this club when the top line(s) are not clicking.

He will certainly be missed in the sandpaper department though.

Today would be a great game for The Real Deal to make a statement!

One can wish! Oh Jobu please make it so!

per Ryan Leslie these lines are expected:
Tkachuk-Backlund-Neal
Rychel-Ryan-Hathaway

likely means
Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Jankowski/Quine-Quine/Jankowski-Czarnik

We see it when he's out and they have to put Ryan in his spot, so I don't understand why in the same breath people still want to push Backlund down to the third line.
Because people don’t appreciate what they have until it’s lost

Another St Louis game. I can't wait to enter a white hot rage when Steen inevitably scores.

I had that flu yesterday and was so sick I couldn't even get out of bed to watch the game on the mend today. I'm able to at least get to the couch to watch the game looking forward to it

It's a pretty bad look for a guy to go back into the room, get cleared to play, then be out the next game if this is a concussion.

I'll plead ignorance to knowing what the protocol is or who is in charge of that decision, but for a team that has been called out by the league for this, I would think they'd be a hell of a lot more cautious.
