Re: GDT: 4/16/12 > Game 3 > Blues @ Sharks > 9:00 PM

Good game as the Blues are finding their stride. I didn't like the last 5 minutes at all. A little too much coasting. A better team would've gotten to the Blues sooner. Hopefully the team can learn how to finish. So is it time to try Schwartz? Or do you put Reaves in the Stewart spot? I was really h...

I thought that wasn't the case at all.....
Schwartz can play. He signed a contract for this year for that reason.

Time for Stewart to man up. You only get so many chances and this might be his last.

Between him and Dags...hmmm...At least Stewart has some toughness. If he blows it again, time to put in the kid (Schwartz).

Re: Bernie Federko

Bernie has always been a class act. The people who rail on him here are mostly just making fun of his commentary. I was weaned on #11 and #24, so to me, Bernie is above ridicule, no matter how much he sucks as a commentator. I personally don't think he's that bad. Sure, he seems a little clueless s...

Re: GDT: 4/14/12 > Game 2 > Blues vs Sharks > 6:30 PM

Just got done watching the last period. Holy heck...I love this team. I believe it was Langenbrunner that started the end of game festivities. That's a message that this team won't take any crap. And yes...Polak is fricking scary. Jesus, that dude is a St. Louis BLUE in a Plager type way! My only di...

Re: GDT: 4/14/12 > Game 2 > Blues vs Sharks > 6:30 PM

Crombeen can give you support on the PK, something Reaves doesn't do. I really like Reaves, but I think Hitch feels like he can play Crombeen in more situations. Dags doesn't not excite me at all. Unless his wrist shot is on, he doesn't bring much else. Of course, that's way more than Stewart, so we...

Vancouver is a different team without Daniel Sedin. They really miss him on that top line.

yes, Arnott was terrible. I commented to my dad about 17 minutes in, give or take, that it was the first time I noticed Arnott all night, and it was just because I saw a glimpse of the 44 on his jersey, not because he did anything worth noticing. To be fair, he was carrying #25 on his back most of ...

Re: GDT: 4/12/12 > Game 1 > Blues vs Sharks > 6:30 PM

1) Halak was solid. A couple of long rebounds but that is how he is and we knew that going in. 2) I think the loss can be attributed to coaching a small bit. I did not like the line ups. Polak played well despite previous posts but why is our only "defensive" defenseman on the third pairing? 3) Jac...

Re: The Playoffs...Halak or Elliott?

Rutherford Hitch says Elliott has upper-body injury, day to day. He said Elliott has been nursing injury for a week. #stlblues So... Halak is starting game 1, we can infer. To add on to that, from JR: Goalie Jake Allen is being called up from Peoria to help #stlblues through Elliott's injury. I'm o...

Right now, I don't care who starts. It's the team defense and scoring that the Blues need to get going.

It's going to be fun when one of those games goes to triple overtime. GAH. What is Curt doing. He's screwing with the board! Just screwing with the style sheets. They're kind of a mess...just trying to get the header to display in the forum. All is well. Aahhhhh! That frame thing is so annoying.

This is probably just me finding reasons to bitch, but I don't like how we have to adhere to the Eastern crowd by playing our home games at 7:30 EST but when it is in Cali we still get 10:30 EST. 6:30 CDT game times make it very hard for me to make it to the game in time after leaving work.

I don't even know what to say about this game and the officiating. When Hitchcock gets pissed you know it's bad. The call on Steen combined with the non-call on Frazen shows what inconsistency there is. And the Reeves BS call was just terrible. What a horrible, horrible call. The Blues did great kil...

You pansies need to calm down. They are having what's known as a psychological rest... they are IN the playoffs and they know it. Big deal. They'll come out blazing when it matters.

It's hard watching this team struggle tonight, but the picked themselves up and tied it. And hopefully it gave them a little reality check that the playoffs are not going to be a cakewalk. First goal was soft, but Halak made some fantastic saves down the stretch. And Stewart has to be the most uncre...
