He let a Star go in alone on Conklin... Also quite a few giveaways up the middle... pinched at the wrong times & watched the Stars skate around him...
Bench him without pay for 5 games... might help... let Petro play
Here’s somee postgame reaction from the Blues following Saturday’s loss to the Stars.
In the second period, Dallas’ Steve Ott leveled Blues defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo. Ott laid a hip check on Colaiacovo, which instigated a team-wide brawl, ending with a combined six penalties on both teams.
“There’s 18,000 people that will agree with me and say that was a dirty hit,” Colaiacovo said. “Hopefully the league will take a look at it, and do what’s right.”
Here’s what Dallas coach Marc Crawford had to say about the hit: “I don’t know . . . Colaiacovo . . . I don’t even remember that one. I’d have to look at that one. Earlier in the game, they got away with a lot . . . as usually happens, it ends up evening out as you go along. It was a hard game to referee tonight because there got to be a lot of emotion in it.”
There were a combined 26 penalties and 86 penalty minutes in the game, including 20 penalties and 62 PIMs after the hit.
The Blues said they lost their focus after that.
“It’s a long season and we just have to stay a little more focused when situations like that happen,” Blues center Jay McClement said. “It’s good for us that we stuck together, and the guys stuck up for each other, but at the same time, the idea is to win the game. That’s what we’ve got to focus on. We just got away from that a little bit.”
Injury update:
- Colaiacovo has an upper-body injury, according to the team. He said afterwards that he wasn’t feeling good.
- D.J. King left the game in the first period after a fight with Krys Barch. King has what is believed to be a wrist injury and could miss significant time.

I agree. Ott got awfully low on that hit. That wasn't necessary, the puck was long gone.“There’s 18,000 people that will agree with me and say that was a dirty hit,” Colaiacovo said. “Hopefully the league will take a look at it, and do what’s right.”
Is he stupid? What a douche.Here’s what Dallas coach Marc Crawford had to say about the hit: “I don’t know . . . Colaiacovo . . . I don’t even remember that one. I’d have to look at that one.

Great.Injury update:

Of course he will. That's how it goes with this team.- D.J. King left the game in the first period after a fight with Krys Barch. King has what is believed to be a wrist injury and could miss significant time.

Now King's roster spot should be replaced with the likes of Armstrong or Stastny. Colaiacovo is a puck moving Dman so he needs to be replaced with Junland, not Strachan. I have no problem with Strachan, but he is not a puck mover. Of course knowing Colaiacovo, he will be back next game. IF Junland gets passed over too much i could see him leaving next season to go back to sweden.
Hopefully this means more ice time for Cam Janssen.ohio BLUES wrote:So we lay another turd and potentially lose two dudes for a while?
