If T.J. Oshie can play as good as he’s been dressing lately, Blues fans will be happy. The other day, Oshie was donning a flashy, grey pinstripe suit.
“It’s a little too standout-ish for me, but oh well . . .,” Oshie said.
How much does a fancy suit go for these days . . . $1,000, $2,000?
“I don’t know, I haven’t gotten the bill yet,” Oshie said. “I’m sure I’ll see it soon.”
More importantly, Blues fans will see Oshie in the lineup later tonight. He has missed 24 of the last 26 games with a high-ankle sprain, but he’ll make his return against New Jersey. He missed 13 games with the ankle sprain and then after playing Dec. 5 against Calgary, he reinjured his ankle Dec. 6 against Phoenix.
“I thought was ready to come back (last time), but the only thing was that scar tissue that was still in there,” Oshie said. “That scar tissue is gone now. It still pops every once in a while, but not a bad pop. It feels good, it feels strong.”
Oshie return gives the Blues some more skill up front. He’s going to play on wing on the Blues top line tonight. Here’s what the Blues’ top three lines should look like against New Jersey:
T.J. Oshie-Keith Tkachuk-David Backes
David Perron-Patrik Berglund-Brad Boyes
Alex Steen-Jay McClement-B.J. Crombeen

With the amount of games he missed he just as well might of stayed one more year.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine Oshie in the line with a few of those talented freshman like Hextall and Gregoire? Holy Cow.
