Let's Go Blues

Yeah, I thought we played a really good game in the first and second periods...we just went into a 'prevent' in the third. Petro had a couple big blocked shots late in the third, but I really thought he struggled yesterday. I thought putting a legit left defenseman with him would help him find his g...

I thought Allen played great and I thought our forwards worked much harder last night (both ends). Two things really bothered me and they have both been themes all year #1) we are absolutely the worst puck handling team in the league. I don't care if you're talking about passing the puck, receiving ...

We're running into one hot goalie tonight. (He's stopped 68 of the last 69 shots he's faced)

We've got to crash the net, if we get back to our perimeter shooting, we could be looking at another zero goals on 30+ shots

Bouwmeester is a major improvement on the backend. The issue with the Blues, however, is exactly what kept being said last night and it is an issue with the forwards playing defense. Way too often, the wingers, especially, stand still and wait to react to what an opponent does when the opponent is ...

We blow four leads, quit hitting, strike out 12 times and then everyone wants to hang the loss on Boggs.

Eh I don't know. Gaborik is a lightning rod, sure, but he's also streaky and, IMO, a very high-risk acquisition. Dude has scored 40+ in 3 of his last five seasons ( 3 of his last 4 full seasons). In one of those seasons that he didn't net 40+ he played only 17 games but still netted 13 goals. In th...

Great move. I really like the kid and it already addresses one of the 'spots' we were going to have to fill for next year.

Signing Schwartz burned a year of eligibility, regardless of playing 9 games. Does the same apply to Jaskin? Signing Schwartz did not burn that first year. Playing him immediately did. The question is do the Blues play Jaskin immediately and start burning those years now, It was reported yesterday ...

I'm glad JD and Jarmo will be out of our division at the end of this season.

Yeah...hopefully they traded away enough to keep them from competing this year, but they are going to be much better very quickly.

I feel bad for the guy, due to a shitty huge contract he is stuck.

Yeah, dude just said he can't get move because his contract sucks.

Said he'd scrap it right now if he could.

it's a 7th in return for Redden

Boston confirms, not word on what round the pick is yet.

Luongo pulled off the ice by PR guy.

Wow, they got Conacher and a 4th for Big Ben

Bishop to Tampa

Hitch says Oshie is week to week.

Halak is out and it is unknown if he will play at all again this year.

Yeah, kinda sucks for the Flames who could use pieces to rebuild with....but at the same time it's cool that he wants to stay and retire there.

Dmitrij Jaskin put up some pretty sick numbers in the QMJHL this year.

In 51 regular season games he netted 46 goals and 99 points.

He was the leagues 4th highest scorer despite missing 17 games.

LeBrun is reporting the Halak is expected to be out three weeks, that certainly means there is no way he's getting moved today. (not that I expected him to anyways)
