GO RIVS!

Had Hellström been on the ice that woulda been a 7-0 game instead...

8-0 - he would have scored a goal!

The Rivermen won their fifth straight tonite in a shootout. Six straight wins on the road.

They are good. I stand corrected.

Things are improving.


It was Peoria's third straight victory and raised its all-time record against the former Omaha franchise to 21-3-3. The surging Rivermen earned points for the 17th time in 21 games, moving to within two of third-place San Antonio in the AHL's West Division.

In December, the Rivermen has posted a 6-2-1-0 mark, good for 13 of a possible 18 points. The club is a collective plus-79, out-scoring opponents 37-27 in that stretch.

In St. Louis, McDonald will wear the same No. 19 he wore in Anaheim when he makes his debut Sunday against Calgary.

Great move. Taking advantage of Anaheim's cap problems next year.

Seems like on the nights they score they give up goals and when they tighten up on defense they don't score.

Seems like Lemtyugov and Drazenovic are doing well. I'd like to see Birner make some progress.

Peoria has a bad team this year. They are fading in the standings and things don't look promising. The only purpose is to develop young players but they have a tradition of playing well as a team. Not working out this year. The goaltending is very thin - Schwarz is it. And the vets aren't producing ...

Hitchcock made a stupid move pulling the goalie there.

Backman needs to sit and McKee needs to play Saturday in Nashville.

Legace was great.

belleville news democrat A year ago, Edmonton needed to win its final game just to qualify for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot. The Oilers caught fire and didn't slow down until Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, when they lost to champion Carolina. Edmonton had 95 points, or 49 ...

Meanwhile, back to the topic ...


The Blues will play 28 of their final 34 games against West opponents. That includes two games against Vancouver, currently in the seventh spot, and four games against Minnesota.

That's being very short-sighted to say the least. Letting their contracts expire and those assets walk for nothing is the worst possible move for every franchise in ANY situation. There is something worse. Over-bidding and giving vets bad contracts that are too expensive and too long. If another te...

Amen brother.

Step Number One - Get to .500

Step Number Two - Catch the three teams ahead of us

Step Number Three - Think about the playoffs

Here's why this is a silly argument. Checketts to JD: "Why in the world are we playing so much better lately? Don't you understand that I know we won't be making the playoffs this year and that we will be better off with the third pick instead of the 14th pick? "Go tell Andy Murray to make sure the...
