Haha, 8-3. Shattenkirk with the assist to Stewart. 3 Blues have two goals.

DaFace, I see why Stewart is awesome.

The golf cart accident surely didn't help.

He's just not the factor that you expect from the 1st overall pick. He hasn't been the dominant force, he's gotten a bit lazy handling the puck, and he's been a disappointment offensively, IMO.

I really like the kid, and hope he regains his form in Colorado. But I'm ****ing thrilled to get Stewart and Shattenkirk.

Stewart could get a hat trick tonight. Awesome.

die

9-3. Unfreaking believable. After a span of 24 hours in which the Blues traded three players, they have scored 12 goals.

That was a crazy game! And look who got the Shutout for Ottawa, that has to sting for AVS fans.

It stung before tonight. I have no ****ing clue what the front office was thinking. The fan reaction to this trade has been overwhelmingly negative.

I've read two Avs forums and it seems like the fan base is pissed at Sherman and Sacco.

On the upside, the Blues are 5 points out of 8th and have like 5 games on the Flames and at least a game on everyone in front of them.

In these Western Conference vs Western Conference games its hard to know who to pull for because the temas are so close, just no Overtimes/SOs!

Yep. I'm guessing you're a Preds fan, no? Anyways, the East is weaker than the West by far. Every team in the West, from the Blues on up, would at least have the 8th seed in the East.

Yes I am, hope they can finially pull of winning a playoff series! They can make the playoffs but always get knocked out of the first round. But I agree, the West has the better teams. Edmonton is the last but even they can beat alot of the higher ranked teams.

With all the concern about headshots these days, Laviolette had best expect a phone call...

For anyone who's interested, the Calgary Flames defeated Montreal 4-0 tonight in the Heritage Classic; Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff became the first goalie in the modern era to post a shut-out in an outdoor game.

With the Blackhawks and Flames each getting a W and the Wild getting a point in OT, Rams Fan is pissed.

You got Shattenkirk and Stewart. In fact, never mind Stewart, you literally have a player who's last name is an amalgamation of Shatner and Kirk. You need to name him captain now just for the sci-fi implications.

Why name him captain when theyalready have Captain America(Backes)?Anyways, I'm interested to see if Boyes will be traded or not. Tuesday is going to be awkward. Avs are in town.

Calgary is certainly playing their best hockey of the season. Guys are stepping up with a few pleasant surprises like Babchuk and Glencross.
Go Flames!

Captain Kirk >>> Captain America. Though truthfully, I understand why they're gonna name Backes captain in the off-season anyway. Still, I wanna live in a world where Captain Shattenkirk is a real thing and not just a dream...

I agree, those stupid Eastern Conference teams need to step up!

Blues can be 3 out from 8th with a win today. Big road trip coming up after Tuesday. In Canada, Blues play the Oilers and Flames.

"Rick Nash got oshied... TWICE"

Flyers are looking like they'll end hot. Nothing would make me happier than a victory over the stinkin' Penguins in the post season.

Come on Blues, time to get a goal. BY A 6'7" GOALIE.

nah

2-0 now, Blues with the lead. Oshie!

Philly doesn't have the assets or cap space, but if they somehow managed to get Vokoun, that'd be the the surest bet for a Stanley Cup since the 2002 Avalanche.

JVR- Giroux- Carter
Hartnell- Briere- Leino
Nodl- Richards- Versteeg
Carcillo- Powe- Shelley

Pronger- Carle
Timmonen- Cobourn
Mezaros- O'Donnell

Vokoun
Bobrovsky/Boucher

That's disgusting.

I dont care what happens as long as st. loser doesnt make the cup.

Why? How are the Blues even a rival of KC sports?

****

Somewhere in here is a story about a Redwings fan walking into a Blues fan bar and someone lost a digit before the night was over.

Yes please Vokoun to Philly or anyone in the Eastern Conference. I do not want Vokoun anywhere NEAR a Western Conference playoff contender. Especially the losertown dead wanks.

Sobotka gets his jersey held onto by a Hawk and McDonald's stick is slashed 5 feet in the air but no penalty. WTF?

haha I picked him up this morning to be on my fantasy team, hope he does well this week, my team is about to go golfing if they do not have a good week!

Really pissed right now. Time to punch Kane.

Punch him hard and knock him out until Friday or longer!

Will do. They just blew a 2-0 lead. Ugh. And are down 4-2.

That was brave of them to start their 3rd sting goalie against the Hawks.

Erik Johnson and Jay McClement make their return to St. Louis. Blues need a W, bad. Then they go to Canada.

The Blues need a W bad? The BLUES need a W BAD? THE BLUES NEED A W BAD?

:cuss:

Heh...I just realized that the Avs last win was against...the Blues. Interesting.

Hell yeah. Look, I like EJ(especially now considering that Jackman had an awful game yesterday and the Blues really only have 2 defensive d-man) and McClement. But it's playoffs or bust.


Don't you put a jinx on them.

Un-reversing the jinx.

LETS GO BLUES

Who wants some Shatty Lite?

Ah shit.

I really miss Halak.

Eh, that one wasn't Conklin's fault.

True. But the goal tending has been incredibly shitty the past 3 games. The Blues need to get a point. And that was Conklin's. Ugh.

Man...are Blues fans always this...for lack of a better word...whiney? Seems like every time the puck is stopped they're booing.

Frustrated, in better terms. To go from 1st place to this is just, ugh. And congrats to EJ, but ****. Blues are done unless they can go to OT.

This comes from lurking at the HF Boards:

http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=881500&page=3

Son of a gun. Petro hurt by McClement.

Well, tough game. Pretty entertaining, though I honestly wasn't really impressed with the play of either team. Still smarting from the loss of Stewart, though it's nice to see EJ get on the board. He's a definite upgrade on our defense.

And, no offense to Shatty, but the Blues defense is bleh. Trading Brewer and EJ have shown that the Blues need a vet D-man.

The Predators did not help themselves or the Blues by losing to Columbus last night, that was awful!

I honestly don't know how we won the game, it seemed most the game the Av's players had trouble handling the puck when they were all alone, and all the passes to nobody, ugh.

Would the Blues like to try to get Marek Svatos again?

I've been avoiding this thread this year since the Devils sucked at the beginning of the season, but now I figure I can show my face. Hopefully it will be an interesting run to finish the season

He had a lot of potential and was fun to watch for a couple of seasons.... sucked to see him get hurt... again.. and again... and again.

Yup, and now your team has almost worked its way back up to the Av's level of suckage. Which really stinks because the Devils are one of the teams I root for in the East come playoff time.

No, I want Kyle Wellwood. But of course, the 2 guys from the KHL that the Blues signed are both claimed off waivers. And I feel like shit about last night. Damn it Conklin/Jackman.

**** the Ducks

Haha.

Even though the Blues are almost last in the West, they are only 7 points out of the 8th seed. Canada trip is going to be huge.

You'll be complaining really, really bad about referees/replay office by time that one's over. That I can assure you.

No shit. I'm still pissed about Monday vs the Hawks.

GO CHIEFS

How the **** do the Kings only have two goals on McElhinney? The Blues beat the shit out of him.

Also, Chris Stewart is da shit. 4 goals in 3 games.

When he's on, he's a monster. He has a tendency to disappear at times, though, and he's not that great defensively. Only time will tell if he continues to progress or hits a plateau.

He just needs Shatty Lite. Shatty Lite has both of his assists on goals to Stewart. Also, in the postgame last night on FSMidwest(the Blue's network), they interviewed EJ about the trade. He gave a damn and was about to cry. I hope he has a good career.

That is the truth, caNAD shitbags!

Blues came back from being down 0-2 to being tied 2-2 in Vancouver. Time to crack open a nice can of Shatty Lite.

Yeah it's pretty remarkable just how bad we were for most of the season. They've won 16 of the last 19 and are still 9 points out of 8th. I'm just glad they got rid of MacLean.

I'm on the lookout for playoff teams to pull for this year.

The damn Preds need to step it up! 0 goals the last two games.

How about Iggy and the Flames? Just a couple weeks ago it looked as though they were miles away from a playoff spot but now they're right in the middle of things.

They have played like 3 more games than anyone right outside of 8. I doubt they stay there.

If LA gets PHX in 1st round ill be happy #forreal

Poor St. Louis Blues are dead, looking so peaceful and serene. They're all laid out to rest, with their finger nails across their chest, their fingernails have never been so clean. The Blues loved their fellow teams. They loved the Predators and Panthers. They loved the Avs and vermin, and treated them like equals. Poor St. Louis Blues playoffs hopes are dead, their fans will weep and wail for miles around. Poor St. Louis Blues playoffs hopes are dead, a candle lights their head...
