Let's Go Blues

Vancouver, for a young team, has played almost mistake free in these two games. The players would know for sure obviously, but I wonder how much the empty arena helps that. When you’re at a playoff game, or even watching/listening to one, the crowd adds a layer of intensity that would favor the team...

:woohoo: Now please find an assistant coach whose offensive minded, at least at a minimum as a power play specialist. Amen. The theme all playoffs was "the Blues need 5 on 5." It got to the point where I was happy if they won the faceoff and got set up, maybe a shot on goal, but let's not get too c...

Drink it in, folks. Congrats to all.

Cheers to Steen. He wins the puck battle that leads to the GWG.

Also, apparently Schenn had a skate blade issue and had to come off the ice. Bozak comes in and could have only made that pass as a right hand shot.

Get those handshakes Saturday night.

Great game from glen's boy, #70.

Bluuuues hockey

Not sure why Doug bid against himself here, but pretty typical of his tenure as GM. Signing a player to a deal he didn't have to. A few months ago, I would have put Bouwmeester on waivers. He likely wouldn't have been claimed. Now he's healthy and admittedly looks solid as hell with 55. Can't wait f...

You would think, but it's possible he actually wants to take care of the brats while he's there. What a psycho.

And when he's home, wifey wants him helping, not the help. On the road, the help, I'm sure takes up the slack. It would explain why he looks like ass in all the Blues home games, but not so bad in road games. So it's his wife's fault? What a battle axe. He probably figures he can stay up all night ...

Blues fever: catch it.

I haven't been this excited for a Blues rookie goalie since Jake Allen. Or Curtis Sanford. Or Brent Johnson.

Boys are finally skatin' hard, though. Ride the wave.

Time to mail it in for good, boys.

Lose for Hughes.

Palazzola suggests Alain Vigneault. I suggest he lay off the drugs. That dude has no sources or inside information. Under the handle "Scottrade General," he would tweet out a rumor or trade without giving credit to the original "tweeter." After a few people called him out and embarrassed him, he ch...

Coach Q is going to enjoy the holidays on the Hawks' dime and then he'll get to work. No worries. Blues hockey.

Jay Bouwmeester, penalty killer.

Bluuuuues hockey.

Not only would he breathe life into this hoopty team, he'd fill the arena. Every home game is a sellout if Q is hired.

How will the Mike Yeo area be remembered?

I agree. Granted, they've been in every game going into the 3rd, but that obviously means nothing. The trip to Canada comes at a good time. Could also spell doom for the head coach if it goes badly, though.
