VLADIMIR TARASENKO RUMORS
Vladimir Tarasenko was used incorrectly in Game 4
Heading into Game 4, I put up a post where numerous fans gave their opinion on the decision to play Vladimir Tarasenko over Adam Cracknell on the fourth line. Fans were in favor, hoping to see a boost in the team's attack with Frank in the mix. Most were in favor because it was believed he would start on the fourth line but then rotate to a different line as the game unfolded...
Blues fans weigh in on Tarasenko disrupting the 4th line
If you've been on Twitter at all since Game 3 then you're probably aware of the Vladimir Tarasenko vs. the 4th line debate. After the Blues failed to light the lamp in Game 3, it was rumored that Tarasenko would be suiting up for Game 4. The question that lingered revolved around figuring out which player would sit out in order for #91 to make his debut.

Hitchcock to Tarasenko: "Get ready to play"
Immediately following their loss in Game 3, Ken Hitchcock headed for the St. Louis dressing room. As he did so he passed Vladimir Tarasenko, a healthy scratch for the first three games of the series. Hitchcock made a quick statement which signals we'll be seeing Tarasenko in this series very soon:
"Get ready to play."

With Oshie returning, the Blues were forced to make a difficult decision concerning which player would be scratched in order to make room for #74. Ultimately it appeared it would come down to either Vladimir Tarasenko or Adam Cracknell.
Coach Ken Hitchcock announced...
St. Louis Blues: Vladimir Tarasenko needs more ice time
St. Louis Blues rookie forward sensation Vladimir Tarasenko scored a pair of goals in the Blues' lackluster 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night. Tarasenko easily looked like the best player wearing a Blues' sweater, yet he still finds himself on the Blues' third line.
Tarasenko played only 13:23 on Thursday night, compared to 17:43 minutes of ice time...
Blues activate Tarasenko off injured reserve
The St. Louis Blues got another member of their second line back, activating rookie Vladimir Tarasenko off injured reserve from a concussion, but lost another forward with T.J. Oshie placed on IR.
The 21-year-old Tarasenko, a first-round draft pick in 2010, was activated in time for Saturday night's game against Anaheim. He has six goals and six assists in 17 games, ranking...

ST. LOUIS If Vladimir Tarasenko can live up to even half the hype that surrounds him heading into the start of training camp Sunday, the Blues should be in pretty good shape.
