Let's Go Blues

Really? After two years, you just noticed?

How many times indeed, Joe Sobek? Name some, please.

Oh Andy... Congrats to Portland Winterhawks D-man Brett Ponich on signing with the Blues. At 18 years old the former 2nd rounder is already the Captain for Portland who has more kids rated in Central Scouting’s top 100 than any other team in the CHL . Ponich will return to Portland next season but ...

Put Kariya on IR, waive and buy out Sydor, waive Winchester. Get Armstrong up full time, recall Eller and Strachan.

If Payne does well, I expect him to be given the job permanently. I don't think they're conducting a coaching search.

Dan Bylsma Joe Sacco John Anderson Peter DeBoer Cory Clouston All young coaches promoted from the team's AHL affiliate. Bylsma, Clouston and Sacco are all coaching playoff teams and DeBoer and Anderson are easily the best things about their respective organizations. Bylsma has a ring. Payne is a gre...

If there's one non-Jarmo guy responsible for the development of young players in this organization, it's Davis Payne.

Love this move. Love it.

If that says anything at all...

Well, it says to me that you're a complete goddamn moron.

He was bad last night.

And he's back to Peoria today.

Darryl Sydor, however, is bad. Bad. Bad bad bad. He doesn't have the speed to rush the puck any more but his game has always been in transition, so the result is that he's constantly going about halfway and scrambling to get back. He took one penalty tonight as a direct result of his terrible foot ...

Pretty good game. Armstrong played well; he really reminded me of Mike Sillinger, actually. His line with Palushaj and Porter was the best of the night. Palushaj is fast, always around the puck, and created a lot of chances. Kariya, Berglund and Boyes really didn't do much, and come to think of it, ...

Why bother if the people who run the board aren't even going to bother to clean up obvious spam?

As per Andy Strickland.

It's a two way deal, which has nothing to do with his waiver status. It just means he gets paid less in Peoria than here.

Yes, silly me. Phil Kessel is in fact roughly equivalent to what Keith Tkachuk was when we acquired him. And since we have SO MANY guys on the roster who can score 36 goals (that was a grand total of zero last year by the way; Kessel would have been our leading goal scorer), making a move for such a...

Why acquire him though? I don't get it. As a trade deadline deal involving Tkachuk that might have been rational. We have cap space this season but that doesn't mean we go out there trading around for no reason. I actually really hope this is a joke. Yeah, I don't get acquiring a 21 year old who sc...

Then they're idiots, because they can't afford him. Boston has a shade over a million in cap room NOT COUNTING KESSEL.

Excellent; I have to stay in Peoria with naught to do the night of October 14.

...sort of.

Headline is there, but no accompanying text. The website and writer both have a legitimate reputation. We'll see...

Dropped you a PM.

If you move it to Creve Coeur, I could definitely be interested.
