Re: The Book Thread
I read Shogun a few years ago and just loved it. I found a bunch more Clavell paperbacks at a book sale and grabbed them up, but I haven't dove into them yet. Is Taipan the best one to read next? I'm currently rereading C.S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy, which is awesome. Check it out if you like fan...

Re: Streaming Media - Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire Stick
You should get a Chromecast to have for instances like that. I used to get annoyed when I had to go hook up my laptop to my tv for something. Not an issue anymore for me. I'm tempted to get a Roku just to play with. But I don't subscribe to anything. No Netflix, No Hulu Plus...so the best services ...

Re: Streaming Media - Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire Stick
Big d note, I've heard a lot of complaints about the Gamecenter channel. Is it a Roku issue or is it just that Gamecenter sucks? It's the way the NHL manages their servers. If you want to watch a game either live or a day later, it's fine. I actually love the condensed game option for watching a ga...

Re: Streaming Media - Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire Stick
I've got a couple Rokus (a 3 and a 2) and they're great. I like that they are standalone and don't require a phone or laptop to generate the content. My kids can grab the remote and go without having to mess with my phone or the computer. My biggest beef with it is still the NHL Gamecenter channel c...

Re: GDT #32: 12/18/14 | 9:30PM CST | @ Kings | FSMW/KMOX
The Blues looked super tired and sloppy in the second. Lazy passes, didn't get pucks going north-south, too much cutesy east-west crap, and not enough hustle after loose pucks. That and some weak penalty calls cost them the game. I agree that they need some motivation after that one.

Re: NHL Gamcenter Live for $75
I cut the cord earlier this year and don't miss it. We had DirecTV and a Roku, and we were using the Roku 80% of the time. When we watched DirecTV it was either for sports or we just flipped through channels and ended up watching a mindless Food Network show or another Law & Order episode. We have g...

Re: Hall of Fame G Martin Brodeur is coming to the Blues!
I actually like this move more and more as I think of it. Consider: the 2/1 and 3/1 bonuses aren't for being on the Blues' roster-they're for being on any NHL roster. Marty wants to prove to teams with real need in goal that he can still play in the NHL. The only way for him to do that is actually ...

Yeah, this sounds like the Tom Barrasso experiment v2.0. That worked out fantastic.

One of my co-workers is a Sabres fan from Buffalo. He's already rooting for Connor McDavid.

Re: Blues fan passes away after fall from escalator at Scott
A year or two ago at Coors Field a drunk fan tried to slide down the railing on the stairs, toppled over, and died the same way. Maybe we need to start an awareness campaign. Don't let friends drink and slide down stairs/escalators at sporting events.

Re: Schwartz
We had a poster from Sweden back when Berglund was drafted, I think it was Ehijo, who said that Berglund tended to get really down on himself when he didn't play well and go into a funk. At the time I wondered if the Blues had a sports psychologist on staff to deal with players like that. I still do...

Just say no! Put whatever on the practice jerseys - I don't care. But leave the game jerseys alone! Those European jerseys covered in ads look like shit.

Re: Does hockey need a warning track?
Here is a suggestion...get rid of the shelf where the boards and glass meet. That thing is dangerous...and not needed. What is the point of the shelf? Is that just the way they would build the glass? The only thing I see it used for is when the linesmen sometimes jump up on it to let the puck slide...
