Let's Go Blues

To avoid these work stoppages the NHL would really need to reform its whole system. The biggest difference between sports in Europe and America is how the system works on a number of issues. For example, in Europe it's the national soccer (just an example) association who runs the operation and ther...

I would agree that it does seem like they somehow have learned their lesson from last season, which is good.

As for the beer I don't know what they charge at the arena but in sweden you usually get a beer for about 4-5 euros, so you should be fine.

I'm swedish but live in the south of Sweden, close to Denmark. I actually thought of watching some games live when they played the WC in Stockholm this spring, but the ticket-prices where absolutely ridicilous. I've heard they've cut the prices a bit this year, but I'm still not interested in seeing...

Tarasenko has yet to be included in the Russian team for the WC, which to me is very surprising. Does anyone know about possible injuries to him?

And no, you can't solely point the finger at Elliott. Our collective team looks confused and is playing poorly and unable to handle the pressure the Kings are throwing at us. I think it's terribly unfair to say he's a "lost cause" and go all panic-button just because of his play in one series. This...

Who knew all that talk about not choosing Elliott because of his lack of playoff experience would actually turn out to be completely spot on. I for one was in the Elliott camp but I stand corrected. Just horrible goaltending in this game, and if we are to be honest, he hasn't looked that sharp in po...

How (Franking) difficult can it be to get the puck into the offensive zone on the power play!!!??? At this point, all they're trying to do is not to let any shorthanded goals be scored. If you don't even try to place a pass after you're over the red line and just keep dumping it, what's the use of t...

Get the (Franking) puck over the (Franking) pad already!!! Should've been 3-0 instead of 1-1. Really soft goal btw...

Finally!!!

Berglund only has one less point (3G 4A) than Andy Mac (4G 4A) and both are on a better than point per game pace in the playoffs. Also, most of AMac's goals were set up by Berglund. It was Berglund's work on the boards that let's AMac have a chance at getting the empty net goal in this last one. Al...

Hell yes! That way I can have the boys over to show how real hockey should be played. Now that the Wings and Canucks are playing like asses, the swedes are instead drooling over the Penguins-Flyers games... Sick-of-it!

First an absolutely idiotic penalty taken by Polak and then that Russell-mistake... Can't do that against the Sharks.

Why is Elliott's the most commonly misspelled name on the team? I've always wondered the same thing. Two t's, folks. As for the topic at hand, I said this in flashchat last night: Halak's injury could either be the best or worst thing that happens to the Blues. They certainly responded to Elliott i...

Man, Bergy has really elevated his game in the playoffs.

That goal was so weird. I mean obviously Vlasic missed the clear, but from the look of it, if he had connected the puck like he wanted to he would still just have cleared it right at the back of Niemi's pad. I don't really know what he tried to do there but we'll take it... Btw, Halak really saved u...

Just saw the lineup on the post-dispatch and I really don't see why Hitch is putting Dags on the fourth line. I think the fourth line did an excellent job in Game 1, and since Reavo and Beener are essentially the same type of player I would've kept Langs on there and hoped for Dags to be able to cre...

Watching on a shitty stream on the other side of the world. :lol: But who cares?! At least I can watch it live! Let's go Blues!!! :letsgoblues: Me too! We've certainly not been very lucky with the bounces so far, but it was nice to see that PP get into gear after an awful first attempt. Too bad the...

Hey guys, I thought I would introduce myself as well. I'm a swede born in the hometown of Patrik Berglund, Västerås, who's borderline fanatic about the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the St Louis Blues. I became a fan about some 10 years ago, when my sister lived in O'Fallon, IL, as an exchange student....
