As if life could not get any better for Blues fans, it has been rumored that David Perron could make his comeback as early as Saturday.
The Blues are riding a wave of highs the likes of which they have not seen in a long time. The fans are energized at the teams' impressive record under new Head Coach Hitchcock, they have leaped into contention for first in the west, and big games against heated rivals Avalanche, Blackhawks, and Detroit are on the horizon.
Perron's return is one more thing to excite fans. The left winger has not played in 14 months since suffering a concussion last season.
Perron was cleared for full contact practice on November 18 and has been traveling with the team. It is not likely that he will play back-to-back games to start the season, plus making his debut on home ice gives Hitchcock the last change and allows the Blues to let Perron ease his way back into the lineup.
After Friday night's game in Colorado, the Blues' next five are at home, so it is most likely that Perron will make his debut on home ice. It may not get the national attention that Sidney Crosby received in his comeback, but all that matters is the fact that Blues fans are excited. (And shut Crosby down in his second game back, with a 3-2 OT victory!)
