Yeah I just posted this on the season thread. Hopefully it just stung but knowing the Blues luck it'll be something that keeps him out for the next month.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Oh for ****'s sake. This is ridiculous.

 

[Stealth JD]

Nilsson and Copley will lead us to the promise-land...no worries.

 

[Stealth JD]

Wonder what Manny Legace is up to these days...

 

[ManyIdeas]

I feel like ells would play through any non leg/groin injury in the playoffs

Chris Mason got any magic left in the bottle?

 

[stl76]

I mean at this point all I can do is lol...**** is beyond ridiculous, hope this is simply a precaution and he is good to go for playoffs. "Nilsson, come on down! You're the next contestant on 'Blues Players get Injured!'"

Too busy working on his next death metal album.

If Nilsson starts in the playoffs, would that mean the Blues went into the playoffs the last 5 years with 5 different starters?

Halak
Elliott
Miller
Allen
Nilsson

 

[KirkOut]

I've been saying all along Armstrong never should have traded Bishop

 

[High n Wide]

The team couldn't stand to see Hitch getting off without making a tough/controversial goaltending decision heading into the playoffs.

Elliott has never gone in as a starter, only started once Halak was hurt

Is there some sarcasm here?

 

[KingBran]

Hey we can just blame injuries and re-hire Hitch and try this again next year right.... RIGHT!?

 

[KirkOut]

Is there some sarcasm here?

Elliott: injured
Allen: injured
Bishop: not injured.

You do the math. It ain't rocket appliances

 

[Oberyn]

When we played the Kings in the first round I'm pretty sure he was the starter.

 

[PiggySmalls]

Allen: injured
Bishop: not injured.

Bishop has already missed one year of playoffs from injury. If he was still here the Hockey Gods would have finished him off as well.

2012-2013 disagrees with you.

But Steen's second goal of the game, a shorthanded tally in overtime, gave the Blues a 2-1 victory in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Tuesday at Scottrade Center.

...

Brian Elliott continued his winning ways this month with 28 saves as the Blues had dropped three straight overtime playoff games dating back to May 16, 2001 -- Scott Young’s double-overtime winner against the Colorado Avalanche.

So what you're saying is that all along, goaltending really has been the primary issue with this team?

Halak suffered a groin injury on April 1st, that was the only reason Elliott started the playoffs that year. Not as the #1 goalie.

It is just comical at this point. I mean I have never seen anything like this before.

Elliott was the starter for the 2013 series against the Kings. 2012 was the year he came off the bench in relief.
