Pre-Game Talk: Countdown to Title Defense in Uniform Numbers

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Could all of you people on 31 already just calm the **** down?!?!? It's still Saturday here in St. Louis and we're still enjoying #32 today. Now get off my lawn!!

Whew.

Now that I have that out of the way...

There were people posting 32s yesterday...did something get mixed up? Lol

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Might as well get the easy ones out of the way today lol

Bacashihua? I remember he used to play for the Loch Monsters

 

[ChicagoBlues]

This guy had a history of some of the worst goalie masks ever.

Who’s that guy? I’m gonna have to look up that one.

That’s a weird way to spell CuJo

CuJo played for the Loch Monsters?

Why is he wearing that mask and those pads?

Then again Bacashihua never played for the Blues when they wore those ugly red sweaters. And he was never #31. Oopsy

I remember a long time ago after the 1993 playoffs CuJo and Quintal came into the Streetside Records store where I worked.

I shook CuJo’s hand and said to him, “f***ing outstanding! Just wish you had a better defense.”

And Quintal gave me a hard stare down.

Can anyone guess what CD he bought?

EDIT: A Ha! Bacashihua wore #30!!! Besides the obvious red sweater gaffe, I was close.

Still don’t understand why CuJo is wearing those pads.

Stanowski?

My favorite old school mask is Mike Liut's all day, every day. It looked terrorizing af and absolutely fearless, which Liut was.

Coolest mask of all time of any goalie anywhere.

Oh I get it now! I’m a little slow sometimes.

CuJo’s mask is his Cujo rabid dog mask and the L on his pads stands for Louisville brand gear. Duh!!!

I keep telling my lady that I’m an airhead sometimes.

And Bacashihua played for the Monsters AFTER he was with the Blues.

Man! Just a series of blonde moments!! LOL

Rich Pilon says "hey". His defensive prowess is immortalized in a statue in Pittsburgh

I get your point, but we acquired Pilon at the end of his career when he was washed up. In his heyday in New York Pilon was a feared stay-at-home bruiser, and this was when such players had relevance. A poor man's Byfuglien. Houlder, on the other hand, avoided physical play altogether. Imagine a less talented William Nylander trying to play defense.

Indeed, but I was thinking in terms of Blues defenseman only. I use to say about Houlder that he should hit them with his purse as they skated by.
