I've been sick for five days

I meant to make another post on last Friday but I came down with the flu. I spent the entire day in bed. I spent the next five days in various stages of health, missed New Years Day, and the Blues finally won a game.

With Andy MacDonald out of the lineup, Andy Murray changed up the lines. Initially, Perwaltniak was broken up to form the original top line of Tkachuk - Boyes - Kariya. Thankfully, that was reversed and the line was reunited. They always play well together. Matt Walker has played much better recently. When he got back in the lineup after sitting out for 19 games, he looked bad. He looks like he did earlier in the season. He is still tentative handling the puck and making the long pass, but that his not who he is anyway. My faith has been restored. Of course, the Blues just recalled Wagner and Salvador and Jackman are both playing within the week. Does this mean Wagner is sent back down or that Walker is, once again, relegated to the eighth defenseman role?

Now that it is past the first of the year, expect re-signings and the occasional trade through the February trade deadline.
