Gotta think being at home on 3 days rest that the boys will be flying. Plus they've probably been hungry to get back on the ice after that wings game...
Not official yet. We shall see. I typically agree with you and do in this case.
So no Jaden tonight. I feel like he's played ok - up and down. I see him flat on the ice (in a bad way) a bit too much. Sure nice to have someone like Sobotka to plug right into that spot.

I actually thought Dags looked really good last game, Id rather him slot in on the third line and keep Sobotka on the 4th.
Not happy about Langs in over Reaves either, Reaves has been great, Langs is pretty much done.

Agreed. Dags on the 3rd line with Sobotka - nichol - Reaves would look nice tonight.
That said, I understand that it will be beneficial to play Langs in place of some of these guys for rest and to keep our depth sharp. Although the odd man out is always a 4th liner (or Schwartz) who need the least amount of rest, so really it just feels like keeping our depth sharp in case of the inevitable injuries. knock. on. wood.
C'mon, I would rather see Reaves suit up Thursday in the last home game in this 48 lockout 2013 season against Detroit. The Blues play 5 games against Detroit, 2 home 3 away.
This is game 3 of 4 against the Preds, also the last Home game against Nashville who are road weary, struggling to score. I expect the Blues to come out motivated and hit the preds with our waves of scoring lines tonight.
Not to many people would consider Langs "offensive" depth
It's safe to say that the offensive depth stops at the 4th line, but with Reaves, Nichol or Dags on the line, you can't deny that they control the puck and generate some scoring chances.
God I hate this passive PK. Even when the other team doesn't score, we're still trapped in our own zone for like 50% of the kill.
And there it is. Seriously, whoever's call it was to have every guy standing around during the PK, seriously needs to consider other employment options. It's like we saw how easy it was to score on the Shark's PK in the playoffs and decided to copy their style exactly. It makes absolutely no sense.
(6-2-0) 
(3-2-3)
@ our PK.
