Bernie visits with NHL.com Blues correspondent and In the Slot at lkorac10.blogspot.com publisher Lou Korac. Lou talks about Alexey Toropchenko appearing to be ready to play on opening night after originally being ruled out for at least the first month of the season after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. Lou also talks about what to expect from Jake Neighbours and if the team will be hurt by its lack of defensive depth with Marco Scandella and Scott Perunovich sidelined.
