[i aint Dunn yet]

when i see burns i still think about steen making him lokk stupid behind the net on the sharks lol

 

[joe galiba]

dog on my lap, Eagle Rare in my bourbon glass, a Blues win
this day has ended nicely

 

[Celtic Note]

Buch had a heck of a game. He was all over the place and seemed like a possession monster.

 

[GoldenSeal]

Mark this day on your calendar kids, Schenn just transformed into Rodimus Prime - he’s got THE TOUCH!

 

[Mike Liut]

You cant tank with Binny. He steals too many games

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

So many of our players are just so bad on the road compared to at home.

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of us winning.

he is due for a ten goal in twelve games kind of stretch

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of us winning.

SOs don't count as ROW wins.

And this was the first!

I love when Rivers offers awesome insight like "The Blues need to play a little less in their own zone" when we're getting dominated.

Has Schenn been playing this awful all game? Two turnovers in about 10 seconds.

Well, after skating in cement most of regulation, he skated okay in The OT, and won the game for The Blues in The Shootout. So, he didn't play that awful ALL game.

 

[PJJJP]

NGL the Canes as a tea, underwhelm me. Also Hayes does seems like he does a lot of stuff without actually doing anything or producing

Still gets counted in the W column, thats all that matters

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Out of all of our UFAs only Sunny makes any sense to extend.

Vrana does not fit anywhere.

Kappy can skate, but he's replaceable with our prospects

I love Blais and I'm glad he's back, but, he has been completely ineffective this season.

Scandella is fine for who he is. But, we should be looking to upgrade or see what our prospects have.

 

[Xerloris]

thought it was nice how he wanted to ease his way back in lineup so smoothly that it's like he wasn't even there tonight.

So he fits right in with the rest of the guys?

Sunny is a good enough placeholder for next year.

Disagree. They are good. Well coached. Two games removed from beating the Rangers 6-1 on the road. They’ve had some bad injury luck post All Star break in recent years.

Agreed, especially if we can snag a 4th line C. Put him on the Wing with Toropchenko. Sadly Alexandrov hasn't shown much if anything.

Lose 2 in a row - the tank is on

win 2 in a row - playoffs? playoffs? did you say playoffs? Playoffs?

We along with the rest of the west bar a few teams are mediocre to bad

 

[Spektre]

It figures Schenn had the game winner in the shootout because he played like absolute dog shit in regulation.

I didn’t play the Schenn game because I didn’t watch it live. I know I was saying wtf too many times because of Schenn.

Welcome to life in the mushy middle in the Western Conference.

I wasn't digging deep into the scouting report. Defensively solid and he's a right-handed shot, unlike Scandella.

Kessel has far better skating and puck skills than Bortuzzo ever had, and he's pretty solid defensively. Obviously, he lacks that Bortuzzo mean streak; but he definitely looks like he should be anchoring the #3RD spot until Faulk/Parayko leave. In fact, I'm not yet convinced that he can't be a solid second pairing guy. His defensive game is a lot better than I was really expecting.

Hey, we call that Blues Hockey!

i still think kappy could be back on 1-2 year deal. club doesn't want to rush prospects and i don't think any of them are likely to be ready to be counted on next year. like they might get games, but we are going to need vets to play tough minutes until the next wave is ready to contribute. none of this makes kap any good, but protecting the kids is i think still a priority. if we don't keep kap, i expect we will try to find similar vet on cheap deal..

A little bird told me David Perron is a pending UFA.
