Re: Tarasenko update.
I read somewhere that we cannot lure him over until after the Worlds I think. Basically, there is some sort of rule that would prevent him from playing in the NHL before next season from what I remember reading. It would be nice to get him in the fold and give him a couple months to acclimate to Ame...

Re: Stewart Suspension.....
Three games seems reasonable. It was a bad hit, but Stewart had no prior issues and Kronwall did lean into him before the push. Stewart has been MIA for weeks anyway, so we should be able to play through it just fine.

Re: Trade Imminent?
Trading Nikitin makes sense with Cole's ascension, but acquiring another defenseman doesn't help the crowding any...?

Trade Imminent? - Blues Trade Nikitin
A trade is imminent according to Rutherford on Twitter. There were rumblings about a trade involving Columbus earlier.

Re: Oshie breaks ankle
If we can weather these injuries and still be above .500 we should be able to go on another run when we get healthy again, even if that isn't until January.

Re: GDT: Blues @ Rangers 6PM FSMW KMOX
By Wednesday night we'll know what our chances are. With games against New Jersey, Nashville, and Detroit we can either put ourselves within a game of the playoffs this week or take ourselves out of the conversation. This is our first of three remaining against Nashville, so we can really make up gr...

Re: GDT: Blues at Minnesota 5pm 3/14/10 (FSMW, KMOX)
Frustrating but not insurmountable loss. How many points will the 8th seed in the West have this year? I think 92 is the magic number this year. We have 14 games remaining (8 home, 6 away) and sit at 73 points today. We would need to go something like 9-4-1 or 8-2-3 in our remaining games to make it...

Re: no-touch icing in NHL - Yes or No?
I'm on board with no touch icing. Good reasoning on the time aspect, I hadn't considered that side of it. I also support getting rid of the trapezoid, it has always seemed very odd and arbitrary to me. I agree with the notion that an athletic goalie should be able to play the puck anywhere they'd li...

Re: Cam Janssen suspended five games
I'm not surprised, the hit was pretty late and vicious. I liked the hit because that's why Cam's on the team. I'll trade the win against Washington for a 5 game suspension for Cam every day and twice on Sunday.

Re: GDT: Blues vs Capitals, 7 PM. FSMW, KMOX
Well, we enter the Olympic break on a three game winning streak and just three games out of the playoffs. I understand the desire to position for next year, but I want to go for it this year still. It's not like Paul Kariya would net much in a trade to actually help the team next year. Let's make th...

Re: GEEDEETEE: Blues @ Flames 8:30 PM; FSMW and KMOX
I'm with you. My pet peeve is when people don't consider OT losses as losses and call a team that is 10-10-4 or whatever a .500 team. They aren't. Agreed. It's like saying that because it took you longer to lose it's not a loss :roll: An OT loss is not a loss, it's an OTL. There is a separate stat ...

Re: GEEDEETEE: Blues @ Flames 8:30 PM; FSMW and KMOX
Despite all of our struggles, we are sitting 4 points out of the playoffs with 30 games to play. This team has been inconsistent, but if we can just get a small streak going we'll suddenly find ourselves in the playoffs. Is this the ideal route into the playoffs? Of course not, but maybe we can peak...

Re: Blues Assign Armstrong to Peoria
The defense isn't what worries me. I actually like the play of our defense under Payne, it's the offense that worries me still. We need more consistent scoring on this team and we lack a true shooter since Boyes seems to have forgotten how to find the net. We need 2-3 guys who can find the net if we...

Re: T.J. Oshie slewfoot Andrew Ebbett ?
I would be shocked if the league penalized Oshie further, considering the referees on the ice did not even feel that he did it. I don't see how they can suspend or fine him after the fact on something that was clearly just two guys going for the puck.

Can I get a picture of Backes bleeding while laughing at the Wild player? Love it. That was a great moment. I don't think Backes even knew he was bleeding yet, but he did a nice job jumping in to protect Oshie from the onslaught of Wild players after the whistle. I really wish Backes was the captai...

The taxes these guys pay in the US is probably pushing 50% with all the different state and federal taxes. I would imagine that it would be appealing to return home AND make more money.

Re: This could get ugly... Burrows accuses Ref of revenge calls
I don't know if the call was made out of vengeance, but it was bad enough to suspend the ref for stupidity either way.
