Let's Go Blues

A win's a win, so I'm satisfied. I think it's pretty clear that we're playing over our heads though (which could be said of any team on pace for 130+ points). There are some really nice signs though. Take the defensive scoring, for example. 19 goals in 17 games is clearly unsustainable. For referenc...

This is probably petty on my part, but I don't like that the start time changes due to a broadcast we don't have access to here.

It's not just hockey, but I think replay is kinda flawed in all sports. That puck was obviously over the line. I understand the desire for conclusive evidence, but I wish they'd slightly lower the bar to allow for some common sense on situations like this. You don't have to be able to see the puck t...

I would have loved to go to this one, but I work late Tuesdays and Thursdays so no luck. Followed along at work though, when I logged onto nhl.com at about 7:15ish I wasn't expecting to see 1-1 already. Bummed about the failed 5-3 PP, did they get any shots off on that? I can't fault them for tired...

I haven't gotten to see much so far, so I could be off base here. But, it seems like we are playing really well most of the time with some letdowns. Twice in 3 games we have blown 2 goal leads with less than 10 minutes to go. That's a really small sample size and maybe some fluky things happened, bu...

Every year I forget that Columbus Day is an afternoon game. I don't understand why though.

I wasn't able to follow the game closely, but had it on in the background. Seemed like they played ok. Really impressed that we didn't collapse after allowing them to tie it. Would have been easy to do. Imagine the feeling today if we only got 1 point out of a game that we led 4-2 midway through the...

I say we start strong and catch them in a bit of a hangover.

I'm bummed he chose Calgary over us. Sounds like our offer was very similar to theirs.

And, yeah, he's a freak of nature. I remember using his stick in street hockey as a kid 20 years ago.

Very happy to see Thompson made the team. I know he probably had some help from injuries, but hopefully he gives them no choice but to keep him up. What's the deal with Kostin? Does he get re-assigned when healthy? Everything that I've read is that he's not ready yet, but I see him listed with Bergl...

It sounds as if the Blues have signed Upshall to a 1 year, $800K contract that might be announced today. I don't hate this. It's definitely the safe move, because we know about what we'll get from him. But I was excited about a young guy getting a shot. What I would like to see is Upshall being the ...

I just got an alert on my phone that he's out for the season.

They pick us to finish 5th in the division. I think they will be wrong.

I think he's done a good job from the bits and pieces I've watched. I like how he explains what he's thinking before things happen. Most players can explain what has already happened, but explaining what he is thinking in real time I found interesting.

All of a sudden we're back in it. .5 behind brewers, 1.5 behind rockies. I'm gonna feel silly saying this, but only 5 behind the Cubs with games against them still. I won't get high on their WS chances if they sneak in, but it feels ~doable.

Definitely not good news. Love him or hate him, he's legitimately one of our top 6 defensemen. But, it does open a door for Walman/Dunn. Hopefully one of them runs with it.

This weekend was brutal. It somewhat felt like playing with house money, because I think we should have been out of it long ago. But, still, can't get swept by the Cubs in September with the season on the line.

I don't think $1-2 mil gets it done either (unless Jagr just really wants to play in a certain city). Lots of teams would take a chance on him at that price which means his market value is higher than that.

I envisioned this as an AHL depth signing. If it's as a 7th Defenseman, I'd have to think about it. I don't want Scmaltz or Dunn sitting in the press box each night as our 7th defenseman. But, when we need depth, I'd rather Schmaltz and Dunn be used ahead of Butler/Prosser. If Prosser starts taking ...
