Maryland Heights, MO. – After three training camp practices, the Blues de Saint-Louis And Dallas stars Launch the pre-season list with the first confrontation Saturday at 6 p.m. at the American Airlines Center in Dallas (Stlblues.com, Blues App, ESPN +).
“Once you enter the action of the game, it’s a big difference”, Blues coach Jim Montgomery said. “The practice is configured, you know what is the exercise, you know what is the goal. And we expect them to perform. If they do not perform what we give them, it is a real fire alarm for us.
The Blues will receive their first look from a certain number of players, including the defender LOGAN MAILLOUXacquired from the Montreal Canadians July 1 for Zack Bolduc.
Mailoux will be twinned in defense with Philip BRUBERG As a star unit of visitors as well as the quarter-Arrière, the first power of power unit.
“I am excited; he skates extremely well,” said Mailloux about Broberg. “It is certainly something that I can’t wait, in a way to go out, play with him and feel him.
“I’m ready to go here tonight. It is always good to come back after the summer, especially a new place, so I am excited. … I focus on going here, to have an impact, whatever way. ”
Montgomery said they wanted to operate Malloux so that they could process the information to relay after seeing it in the Games, because it will be its Blues beginnings.
“We must make him work, we must have him play in our systems so that we can give him comments and start making videos with him,” said Montgomery. “So the things we love:” This is what we love, that’s what you do, and here are the areas that we want to do this in our structure. “”

Defender
Theo LindstinAlso a choice of first round in 2023 (n ° 29) will also make its debut in Blues and will be twinned with Matthew Kessel.
Montgomery’s thoughts seem to be a little mixed in the first three days.
“Really ready with the washer,” said the coach. “In a way, he plays the game in a rocking chair. We would like to see a little more playing on his guard, killing games on the defensive.”

The blues held their first melee of the pre-season before the group of matches left on the ice, and it finished 1-0 for Team White on Team Blue on a goal of the defender Michael Buchinger.
The teams played a 30 -minute match.
Montgomery said there was a lot to love.
“I really liked the rhythm, and I saw players playing games offensively and defensively, in particular defensively,” said Montgomery. “This is the most difficult part of your game to descend because the guys skate all summer and they skate and all play with the washer and try to play offensively. But to recover the structure defensively, put back on the rings, I was really satisfied.”
As for all the players who have stood out?
“I thought (Dylan)) Pedious And (Jakub)) Brass Non (list players) who played last year, they jumped, “said Montgomery.” I think of veterinarians ((Jimmy)) Snuggerud I attracted my attention a bit ((Pius suck) Attracted my attention a little, (Notch)) BjugstadEspecially in the defensive, do good things. “”
There was a case where Mathieu Joseph is embarrassing and blocking a left point shot attracted stick taps and cheers of the white team teammates.
“The guys are already sacrificing, playing a blues identity which, in our view, is our working ethics of blue collar,” said Montgomery. “I’m glad you mentioned it because I thought it was really good today.”
