Let's Go Blues

OT in the first game. God I love the playoffs. This should be an epic series. As long as both teams beat each other to shit ... How do the Preds not even bump Kane all 4.5 periods? As soon as he got his first assist they should have been pounding him. Preds should have won but they let the Shithole...

So a self-described hawks fan wants to give history lessons on STL AND tell long time posters that they don't know anything about their favorite team? I bet you are wheel chair bound with balls that big, buddy. Some thoughts: 1.) I won't believe this team can get out of the first round until they do...

That wasn't a slash, that was a dive. Yes there was contact, but that was a defenseman who had been beaten and decided to drop his stick and see if that would help.

Total bullshit.

Heck of a game by Allen just wasted by the officials.

Odds on Roy getting sacked in Colorado after their utter failure this year?

I say no, but not anything to do with Els. I don't think he will be able to overcome the shitty play and lack of scoring in front of him. That's an odd thing to say when the Blues scored 7 in his last game... um, kay. So one game, not a playoff game, they score seven goals so suddenly that makes th...

Finally looked like Hitch changed some things up for this game on both ends of the ice. They were trying to get Crawford down and then move the puck one more time in close - and that's how both goals were scored. It wasn't coincidence because they were looking for it all night. That second goal was ...

I am looking for the "Doesn't matter" option. You have to beat every team you play, so it's really not relevant. Win a playoff series and keep going, who gives a shit who we play?

The Hawks actually blew a 2-0 lead - a common problem this year of us taking the foot off the gas. Glad we came back and won it - although should not have been that close. It would be inexcusable not to get 2 points against the likes of Buffalo. It's AMAZING how many Hawks fans were in Buffalo! Bas...

I think we're over analyzing. Everyone is afraid of a repeat of last year. They'll get back on track. I wouldn't over analyze these losses. They honestly don't have a whole lot to play for at this point. Home ice is great, but don't know if it makes a statistically huge difference. Anyone have any ...

Remember when everyone was hyping up Rangers v. Blues cup finals? these never materialized because Tortorella, like Hitchcock, ran his players into the ground and they were gassed by the time the playoffs rolled around. The Rangers made a change and are legit Cup contenders this year, like they wer...

I dont' think hitch's system is simple, honestly. I think there's some pretty complex positioning and decision making required to play it properly. I further think quality coaches have figured out exactly how to beat it and who to confuse to create problems. It happens the same way too many time. I ...

No one is saying this is the only reason the Blues lost. To deny that the ice may impact one team more than the other is to be ignorant. It happens in lots of sports where conditions tip the scales in favor of one team of the other. Like in football when a turf team like the rams of yore lost to a b...

Columbus is 9-1-1 and have won their last 8 road games. Unfortunately they tanked the rest of the season so playing well now gets them nowhere. But clearly they are not an easy out as they rolled past the Hawks and Blues AND DUCKS this week. A lot of times it's the teams that are out of the playoff...

For those that can't figure out how to screen shot on android, I would suggest you find the box it came in and take it back to the store because clearly you need a flip phone. For those that can't figure out how to use the work around app that was suggested, see above. All the computing power availa...

I also love the ESPN headline today about this game, "Steen propels slumping Blues by Pens in OT." If 6-2-2 in your last 10 and first in the Western Conference is a slump, let's (Franking) slump all year every year. That's slump is 114 pt season pace, btw. It did snap a 3 game losing streak though....

I have to keep reminding myself that this team is playing without a guy who was considered a serious contender for the Norris trophy.

I feel like our overall game improves with a full roster. The fact that we are still leading the West without him is pretty sweet.

Bring on the real season already!

It's probably AOL blocking it. I would call their customer service and ask for your dial up to be refunded.

No, I'm only talking about players on your own team. Serious question: Do you by chance use AOL for your intarweb? Edit: And by your logic Shatty should be getting assists on every Blues' powerplay goal. If you are on the bench, you aren't on the ice. It doesn't matter what they do irl, it matters ...
