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...

The Avs have now allowed 3 or more goals 18 games in a row. They've won 1 game in their last 14. Yeah, I know, the Blues were that win, but still. They're playing on a simply incomprehensible level of suckitude right now.

How's EJ? It's not the fact that I'm pissed that the Blues won't make the playoffs(which is still bad), it's that the ownership has been selling the rebuild process for years now. Blues better make the playoffs next year or there will be tons of pissed off fans.

Meh. He hasn't been any worse than our other defensemen, but that's not saying much. He certainly hasn't been a "difference maker" to this point, but it's too early to really expect that of him.

I really, really hope he turns into a good D-Man. The trade would work out for both sides. Can you give a quick report on Shatty Lite?

Just in general? He's got a lot of promise. He has nice accuracy on both shots and passes, so he'll slip one behind a goalie or through the defensemen every once in a while. Really, if it weren't for the whole "defense" part of his role, he'd be awesome.

Like most of the Avs guys before the trade, he's a little smallish though and gets pushed off the puck too easily. If he was paired with someone bigger, I think they'd work together well. But among the rest of the Avs defensive woes, he was just another guy not getting the job done.
