It's on! Season is officially here. It's 35 past midnight in the Central time zone, today's the day! Hockey's back (for us Blues fans, anyway)!

I'm surprised there are no comments...

Good night to start the season, but I thought all and all it was a sloppy game for both teams. Lots of bad passing, failure to keep it in the offensive zones, bad stick-handling and poor ends to odd-man rushes. Both goalies never really saw great chances with a few exceptions either.

Anyone go to the game? I realize the post-game show was probably flooded with this debauchery, but how the hell were Eric Brewer and Barret Jackman the 2 and 3 stars? What about Steen with a few points, or Perron who had a pretty good game? Was that just Blues propaganda getting thrown in our faces?

Brew and Jax honestly didn't have bad games, in fact I commented a few times that Brewer was quick to get to rebounds and was defending his teammates in certain situations, which is huge when you have the C on your chest. But was he worthy of a three stars selection? No way! I would have gone 1) Steen, 2) Carlo, 3) Halak.

whoa Curt, this is fucked up, we've lost like a page of posts.


The game was really fun to watch, the boys looked good out there. Boyes playing defense - Payne musta dropped some heavy hints. Hopefully it translates into all around success for him.

Good to see EJ shooting the puck more.

Props to Brewer for standing up for Halak.

One thing: did anybody notice that the team was kind of ignoring Jaro during the end of game celebrations? He looked like he really wanted to get in and celebrate with everybody but everyone had their backs to him.. Hope he ends up fitting in, he looked great in goal.

I think the best penalty call of the night was Winchester's 2 minutes for charging...on Janssen. Best call ever.

So for the eleventy-billionth straight year, we are using a roster spot for a talentless goon who can't stay healthy while players like Cole are in the minors. I'd rather have JD's Rascal take a roster spot than Janssen.

++ actually Janssen took a charging penalty on that play as well... but that was according to John Kelly so discount that statement appropriately.

I think my deleted post was somewhere along the lines of..
Less screwing around. More shooting.
I think Perron ended up with 2 shots. add 5 more and I'll be happy.
Then again, It's just the first game.

also. I liked seeing Pie moving around alot.

He was in the celebration pile just fine. just not dumb enough to try to get in the middle. I re-watched it to make sure.

I know, but I like how they both got charging penalties on the play. Cam's was a no brainer cause he actually hit the other player and Winchester got called for hitting Cam.

It's because it's thanksgiving in Canada. What that has to do with employed people in St. Louis, I have no idea.

Sorry guys...the rest of this thread was lost during the server switch to improve site performance.

In short...

We won 2-1 in OT on a goal by Colaiacovo after a great 2nd effort by Steen.
Blues looked decent...Philly looked sloppy.
Except for a few bad rebounds that popped out of his glove, Halak looked solid.
Boyes also scored on a redirection on a shot from Johnson.
