Let's Go Blues

If this would be a facebook comment, I would like the shit out of it! Thanks for making me smile!

I agree there is plenty of blame to go around on the offensive side. I am a big Taresenko fan, but he didn’t play at a $7 million a year level (or whatever he makes). My point was that Hutton was clearly the better goalie the second half of the season and was available to make a difference at the e...

Blues are only 3 points back of the Wild and have 1 more ROW with the same number of games remaining. 3rd place in the Central is reachable which would mean facing Winnipeg in the 1st round, instead of Nashville or Vegas. I would rather play against Vegas than the Jets. They have absolutely no play...

:woohoo: :goblues: Joel Edmundson's no celebration celebration.... AWESOME!!!! You're tired! I gave up a whole night's sleep. Good that I work at home! It was worth it. Let's have an easier win in Game 2! :banana: You work at home! I've come to the office right after the game has ended. Dunno yet h...

The most telling reason why they canceled this is that this is the first Olympics in which the NHL would have had to pick up all the cost (travel, insurance, etc). In the past the IOC covered it for them. That alone is the dealbreaker. This shouldn't be a dealbreaker since IIHF stated that they wou...

Good. Call me old school or traditionalist or whatever but the Olympics are for amateurs. If another country wants to throw their equivalent to pros up against our amateurs then so be it. It worked out for us in 1980 and even if we predictably end up getting our asses kicked, at least we did it the...

Same old shit, if you ask me. The offense was once again totally sacrificed on the shrine of the defense. We have seen this before against the Kings and the Hawks as well, and it didn't work. Tarasenko - and Fabbri from time to time - is the only one who is trying to generate offense, but he's all a...

Depends on whether they would like to meet us in the first round or the Stars.

I saw some other rumors from Eklund about the Blues in the recent days. According to him we are keeping an eye on the Flyers and Sam Gagner. I dunno, the guy struggles to reach the 50 point barrier which is not too impressive from a former 6th overall pick. Another rumor was about a trade with the R...

There's a chance that Bouwmeester is playing tonight.
Bortuzzo is injured, maybe that's why we called up Benoit.

I would sacrifice a 7th round pick to trade for John Scott and then call him up, just to say a big fat (Frank) you to the NHL. Hell, I would trade Brouwer straight up for him...

If you haven't laughed today, here's the Blues lineup for tonight (or at least they practiced like this today and yesterday): Upshall Steen Brouwer Fabbri Lehtera Taraszenko Berglund Backes Rattie Jaskin Brodziak Reaves Shattenkirk Pietrangelo Butler Parayko Edmundson Bortuzzo Elliott The first line...

This team looks terrible Agree, but thankfully Marty did NOT! Classy act Blues fans. Team played poorly for sure, but Brodeur was really solid. 2 points is 2 points I guess, but we're missing something right now. Maybe it's just injuries, but I don't have that feeling before every game that we're d...

I hate that puck drop is at 8:40pm tonight. This is the second year in a row the NHL has scheduled a super late start for our Round 1 games. If it goes to OT it will be a very looonng night. Cry me a river... The game will start at 3:40 AM for me. If it goes to OT it will be a looooong morning. The...

I did see that, Jaykay... I think it would turn some heads especially since it very clearly doesn't say Tarasenko on the back. I mean I know the intent, but things that are written in Russian tend to confuse people. Is that the actual Russian spelling of his name? I don't speak russian at all, but ...

Haha, I almost felt sorry for you... It's 4:30 AM here at the moment.

Looks like the refs forgot we are not in LA yet.

Just heard this mentioned on the NBC. Wow! This should be one hell of a defense (if Hitch can handle them well).

I saw this mentioned in the "Leopold" thread, but I had to make its own topic... Because of this: @jprutherford #stlblues have assigned Allen to Peoria. Elliott returns after tonight's game in Peoria. Army says it will be Halak/Elliott combo rest of yr I don't know. Send down your only goalie who ca...

Halak has a groin strain. Hitch expects him to be ready by the weekend.
