Re: GDT #71: 3/13/12 > Blues @ Blackhawks > 7:30 PM > FSMW/K

Stewart's problems are this... 1) For a big man, he handles contact horribly when he has the puck. Rarely does he put a body on someone and lean into them when going to the net. For some reason when he tries to go wide on someone, if they have position on him, he never tries to bull rush them or fo...

Re: Realignment dropped

I didn't like the realignment, honestly. There was one point in this seasons that the Blues would've been out of the playoffs because of the division they were in even though they ranked 4th or 5th in the conference. From my understanding of the new plan, unless they solve the scheduling issue to ma...

Re: GDT #71: 3/13/12 > Blues @ Blackhawks > 7:30 PM > FSMW/K

Well to me the boys seemed really gassed from their long road trip. Lots of 'tired' mistakes. The good news is that they got 1 point and played terrible...and Halak has been amazing. Sure hope the boys can get some rest to get their legs back. I didn't like many of the calls, but when you are a team...

Re: Jaden Schwartz's college season is over

This shit is starting to get real. The Blues making a move "for the now" and not the future. Folks outside St. Louis talking about the Blues being legitimate cup contenders and actually having the type of game and finally the goaltending needed to excel in the playoffs. It's getting very real. Gett...

Re: Jaden Schwartz's college season is over

I'm surprised they'll want to play him, but if this is the 1st year of the contract...the kid is playing. Hitchcock also said depth is key for a playoff run. With the scoring just now coming on, I believe they'll look to Schwartz to add a little more scoring depth. Plus, Steen is such a question mar...

Re: GDT #70: 3/11/12 > Blues @ BJ's > 5:00 PM > FSMW/KMOX

Good hard win by the boys. Not only a back-to-back game, but against a team that had been on a win streak and has been playing some good hard nose hockey. This had all the set up of a letdown by the Blues. But in a business manner, the boys got it done.

Re: Props to the Front Office

Well put. I'm amazed when I watch this team. I didn't think it would all come together as such, but even when they don't win, the team is fun to watch. The effort and style of play is enjoyable to watch. And to the point of depth, I don't think I've ever seen a Blues team just chugs along when playe...

I woke up from a deep sleep this morning, just after six. I thought it was Saturday and I was excited. Then I realized it was Friday and I still had to go to work. Bummed. Dejected. Then I remembered the Blues beat the Ducks last night and are now first in the league. And I was happy. Who cares abo...

Could be a trap game after Tuesday. But this team continues to surprise me.

Blues - 2
Ducks - 1

Re: GDT: NHL Trade Deadline Day (2-27-12)

I don't expect much from the Blues. The resources ($) just aren't there.

I think the 2nd round pick they got for Bishop will serve them well next year. Pretty good move by Army.

Re: Bishop to Senators?

How funny. Of all the years of revolving goalies and goalie prospects being hyped. Now the blues have to trade one of their best prospects because they are stacked on the big club. Watch...Elliott will blow a knee and Halak will have some sort of mental breakdown while Bishop becomes the next Brodeu...

Re: Ovechkin boycotts All-Star Game

I agree with you to a point. But, I think where Shanny goes wrong is not being consistent. I know there's going to be a level of inconsistency involved regardless of who has his job. But, there is an appearance of inequality in doling out punishments. Holy Sh*t! I agree with Cardsfan :facepalm: :ok...
