Let's Go Blues

I'm thinking of crossing the pond for this historical event. Do you guys know when the tickets for game 3 and 4 will be released?

Yikes. What the hell will happen now? In Sweden we're in shock...at work today there was such a weird feeling. Everyone walked around in some kind of bubble, not sure what to think. What are your thoughts?

USA, Canada, Russia, North America advance to quarters

I'm glad the prediction wasn't hard to make.

I'd play him every game though, if it meant we could fetch a Taylor Hall-caliber guy for Shatty. Our problem is still offense and we would still have a good defensive corps if we traded Shatty. He's THE guy to trade if Army just would lower his asking price a tad. So Army should lower the asking pr...

NHL Blues article about turning the page They mention Jordan Schmaltz as being on the cusp. He might be on the cusp but with Pietrangelo, Shattenkirk, Parayko, and Bortuzzo all being right defenseman, Schmaltz is a long shot to make the team. If Shattenkirk ever gets traded, he might be a 7th defen...

Better tune up that sarcasm radar, bud. Also, Steen is an UFA after this year. He's the elder statesman, sure, but I don't know that they'd slap the coveted 'C' on someone that could be gone within the calendar year. Are you really advocating to have no captain next season because you think it's be...

I'm quite intrigued by this pick but when I started to read about him and watched some highlights of him I became quite confused. A former first rounder who didn't even get an entry level deal despite great numbers in the minors. That to me stands out as very strange. Especially when you look at som...

You kinda get the feeling this was David's last game with the Blues, don't you? I know I am.

I'd trade Shatty in a heartbeat. Horrible defensively. Absolutely horrible. Also the master of taking dumb penalties. Still got good trade value. That being said, I'm proud of how this team played all year. Yes, they were inferior in this series, but they still beat CHI and DAL which are great teams...

I lost track a few minutes into the first period of how many passes went into the skates. Just terrible execution all night long, they didn't seem able to make the simplest plays.

Brian Elliott is more and more establishing himself as a key factor in a possible playoff run. He's right up there with the best in the league.

Only good thing about that period is that we're still even. I'm not usually on the fire Hitch bandwagon, but this line juggling is killing us right now. The chemistry is totally out of the window, totally out of sync so far.

The refs did not call Fabbri on goalie interference at first, but when Crawford got mad they eventually did. That is such a coward way of officiating. Either you call it when it happens or you don't. Matching minors for roughing on the other guys and the extra roughing call on Crawford would've been...

Absolutely stunned by that call. Horrible call and of course Chicago scores.

Anaheim is still alive and could end up with 105 pts. I'm not sure who holds the tie breaker in that case on winning the conference. But if it is Anaheim that takes the conference and the Blues win the division then you guys would get either Nashville or San Jose. These are longshots but who knows....

It's true...I look at our record and my attitude towards the team doesn't jive with how 'good' the Blues look in the standings. That said, I feel like the team just isn't...inspiring with their performances. Even when they win, they just don't feel like a special team. They're not taking over games...

Worst game by the Blues for quite some time. Lost all the battles, poor puck handling, no energy whatsoever and extremely sloppy in all three zones. Can't believe I stayed up until 3 am to watch this...

Ott, Berglund and Elliott for Stamkos is the stuff Facebook posts are made of. In order to land Stamkos, I'd imagine the conversation would start with Tarasenko. After Armstrong balked at that, they'd "dial it back" to Schwartz, Pietrangelo, a goalie prospect, a forward or D prospect--possibly Dunn...

God, how I hate Gunnarsson.
