Any thoughts about Benoit's play in the Pittsburgh game? He played for 10 minutes +. The first time I noticed him out there, he was playing without his stick. Not a very auspicious start.
I originally posted this in the trade thread, but it belongs here.
Wow, what a core we have going forward with Fabbri, Parayko, Tarasenko, Schwartz, Allen and Pietrangelo. I'm also willing to include Rattie, Jaskin (not ready to give up on them yet) and Shattenkirk (if we keep him, that is). It's things like this that make me happy for the future no matter what happens the rest of the season.
I know I made the mistake during the days when we thought Johnson, Oshie, Perron, Backes and Berglund were our future core, but this is different.
The former group is vastly more talented than the latter. Their only problem is that they have a coach that doesn't know how to utilize their talents.
Edit: I didn't even mention Schmaltz, Dunn, Barbashev, Copley, Binnington and Husso.
Looks like Lappy was still listening to Hitch and got a bit too reckless in a different league(bailed on the team).
Wonder where he goes now.

On the contrary. If we don't notice that he was out of position of goals scored or good scoring chances for the opponent, a 4th-choice fill-in career AHLer is doing a good job. I didn't notice him much in tonight's game with Detroit. Another reasonably good job for him.

Especially since he's heard rumors for awhile now, so it's not like it's new and he can think it's just random talk.

That's kind of how I was seeing it. He's been extra chippy on the ice. Hopefully he's willing to take that home town discount

In the 5th to last paragraph, they mention "significant renovations" for the Scottrade Center
"A complete list of renovations has not been finalized, but plans include the installation of wireless Internet for fans, high-definition capabilities, new seats and an updated broadcast control room. The cost is not known, but similar projects in Tampa Bay and Boston have reached or exceeded $100 million."

Apparently nhl teams have made calls to possibly sign him.he actually didn't play half bad in sweden haha
If we didn't have Brodz, I'd love him back. Was great on PK and was super entertaining. Ott Lappy Reaves for more entertaining 4th line?

At the beginning of the season Hitch talked about going with the hot hand in goal. There was no doubt that Allen proved to be the #1. But since his injury Elliott has played exceptionally well at 5-1-1 with a .936 save %. So when Allen gets back do you ride out Elliott's play or go back to Allen as the #1?

Tough question. Since this is probably Elliott's last season here, I'd probably give Jake every opportunity to still be the #1. But you can't neglect how well Elliott has played. I'd no problem with either one in the playoffs.

I'd give Jake a couple of starts in a row when he gets back to see how things are. If he struggles, you know you have Ells waiting in the wings. Ells isn't the type of guy to sulk and let that kind of stuff bother him. If anything else, he'll play even better the next time he's out there to earn more playing time. Ells is such an awesome luxury. Perfect mentality for a backup(or 1B). You could not ask for a better backup than Brian Elliott. Jake is the future, but Elliott has played outstanding in his absence, and it would be silly to simply gift Jake the number one job if he's not playing up to Ells's standards.

You guys are kidding yourselves if you don't think the Blues will do absolutely everything in their power to give Allen the #1 job again. Why would that even be up for discussion after everything that has happened?

Hi Keeba!
This seems like a nonissue. Let them split starts, play the one performing better. Allen created separation before. If he can't do it again, he probably isn't any better then Elliott anyway.
I think Allen will start in the playoffs.

Free internet would be huge. I can actually be on HFboards during the game without wasting data
