Let's Go Blues

Hopefully he misses playoff time. He's a multiple offender and has done similar before:



He makes me wish there were still guys in the league like Twist, Probert or Simpson.

Screw the division. Save it for the playoffs. The last thing I want to see this team doing is chasing a division title and busting their ass, then sucking in the playoffs, again. Winning the division would put us in a situation to play teams like Nashville, Colorado, or San Jose in the first round....

So who takes us into the playoffs? I was firmly in the Elliot camp last year and remain so this year. He has yet to be given the reigns in the playoffs in his 4 previous seasons here, despite playing at a consistently high level. Two of those seasons he was our lone all-star representative and stil...

What kind of flimsy sticks are they using now - that split on just a routine pass??? I'll admit that I'm so old I only ever used a pure wood stick, but things are getting ridiculous now. I understand how composites can shatter on a slapper or a hard hit to another stick - but, a routine pass??? Whe...

I heard a ridiculous stat about Tarasenko and had to fact check it myself, but sure enough 19 of his 20 goals have come while tied or trailing. With the lone exception being his goal against Dallas in the 3-0 shutout. This is kind of what I wanted to look at. What is the Blues record after allowing...

Don't forget about the deal-balancer, Jeff Woywitka!

If anyone who went to the game has an extra Pronger Bobblehead, I'd be willing to buy it and pay for shipping. I'm also looking to buy one of the posters given out on Saturday. Pm me.

We were definitely the beneficiary of the officiating tonight. I counted at least 5 instances that I thought we would be penalized for sure with no call. We still played well and worked hard for the two points and the shutout against last season's top goal scorers. You can say what you want about Hi...

We could have had one (Bishop), but someone decided that Allen was a better bet and we shipped Bishop off to Ottawa for a 2nd round pick that eventually became Vanelli.

NHL.com doesn't take us seriously. Yesterday they ran a poll that asked "How many games will the Canadiens win streak last?" The options were "7, 8, 9, 10+". Their current record: 6-0.

Tarasenko is unreal. He manages to consistently find open spaces in the opponent's defense despite being every team's top defensive priority. He's also a master of creating and abusing screens. Both of his goals tonight were through screens as well as his goal against Vancouver. He has an innate abi...

Almost gave the 2 points away. Hopefully that was a little bit of a wake up call.

We did everything right for 57 minutes and then completely shit the bed in the last 3.

I was impressed by Edmundson in this game too. He made some mistakes, but he hustled and corrected a few of them. Good effort, and seemed to read the ice well and break things up. I noticed that too. He made a few obvious blunders but busted his ass to get back into position and break up the play h...

Bortuzzo

I would have rather kept Porter or Cracknell than sign Upshall.

"Broadstreet Bullies" by HBO is pretty good

If they felt the need to make any sort of changes, it should have been changing to a 10 minute OT. I know that was mentioned earlier in the thread, but it bears repeating. Something that could make the likelihood of shootouts less without totally destroying the integrity of the game with bullshit l...

What happens when someone takes a penalty in OT? Penalty shot?
