Blues At BJs Second Period

by Brad Lee on Jan 11, 2008 6:55 PM CST

Good karma. Hopefully Kariya will want to celebrate in the road whites tonight. This could be my longest photo tag thingy ever.

INTERMISSION

Umm..... The commentary might start a little slow for the second period. I have to go pick upÂ a pizza. To get a full refund for this live blog, send your receipt to our offices in Nigeria and they will send you twice the amount in conflict diamonds.

9:10 Let's see, what did I miss:

A Columbus wraparound goal

Ears making a save on the fourth breakaway of the game

And Andy Murray staring a hole through his team

Sweet.

7:24 Puck just sitting there and Boyes couldn't put it over a sprawled Leclaire. And now the Blues are pusshing and shoving. They need a Dwayne King punchfest.

There's a penalty. We think it's hooking. We don't know what team it's on. Classic.

5:22 Oh, it's on Kariya. Fannnnnnnntastic.

And I want to shoot in the throat that guy who yells, "Another Blue Jackets powwwwwwwwwwer play!"

BJs score again here and I start drinking early tonight.Â
It's past noon, isn't it?

3:22 BJ power play was pedestrian until the last five seconds.

OK people, here's my question to last until the third: An effort like tonight after two tremendous games, is this a sign of youth, is it the back-to-back effect or was the team not as good as the last two games appeared?

2:01 I LOVE BOYES! Power play goal from the left circle. Puck came straight out. That makes it 3-2.

And maybe the answer to my question actually is: wait until the third period before you decide what the Blues are doing tonight.

1:41 Ryan Johnson with a shot. It was hard to see what he actually did because FSN shrunk the screen for an overly large graphic of Boyes' season stats.

And if RJ can get a good chance, it shows how fickle the momentum can be in this game. Kelly credits the timeout but the HOFer thinks it was killing the penalty. Personally, I think it was fresh words on the live blog.

END OF THE SECOND

Gotta admit, that period ended a lot differently than I was expecting. Blues still in this thing. Whoever controls the action early in the final period will probably win the game.

New thread up shortly.

You’ll get an e-mail with the instructions. We’ll need your bank account number.

By the way, you’ll know it’s for reals by our lack of spelling and punctuation.

Hmm.. a conversation about equalizer penalty calls comes to mind. And I find my opinion has now completely changed, heh.

Make up! Blues get 5-3 pp.

Did we not get a shot on that 5-3?

by Matt on Jan 11, 2008 7:08 PM CST reply actions

We weren’t fooling Leclaire at all on that 5-on-3 on those replays. He was always in position.

by pdub on Jan 11, 2008 7:09 PM CST reply actions

by Chris D on Jan 11, 2008 7:10 PM CST reply actions

cbj kept it simple on their 5-3 and shot the puck a lot we suck

I’ll be lurking around, but all these kids is making it hard to type!

by gallagher on Jan 11, 2008 7:11 PM CST reply actions

By the way, when Matt Walker finally gets his 1st NHL goal, I’ll celebrate as much as he does. I thought he had one on that shot…

by gallagher on Jan 11, 2008 7:12 PM CST reply actions

BJ gonna score again here…. this game can get ugly really quick.

by pdub on Jan 11, 2008 7:12 PM CST reply actions

You are correct we are spared Brewer for a while for a 10 minute misconduct.

by Matt on Jan 11, 2008 7:14 PM CST reply actions

the stats bare out when brewer doesn’t play over his average ice time and certain others do we win more times than not. that ten minute should help that out

by Chris D on Jan 11, 2008 7:14 PM CST reply actions

the cardinals will soon be on the cover of the post-disgrace sports page

I swear I think Andy Murray is doing that voice on purpose.

by gallagher on Jan 11, 2008 7:16 PM CST reply actions

he has a tiny tracheaotomy

by Chris D on Jan 11, 2008 7:17 PM CST reply actions

Little known fact. Andy Murray actually does the voiceovers for Men’s Wearhouse commercials.

I guarantee it.

i’d punch that guy for over banging of the glass if he sat next to me

by Chris D on Jan 11, 2008 7:19 PM CST reply actions

That sucks. Chimera is the Ohio Mayers. When the stone hands crew is scoring, it’s a bad sign.

hannu’s been so unlucky lately

by Chris D on Jan 11, 2008 7:19 PM CST reply actions

What is a Chimera 1/2 scorpion, 1/2 lion, 1/2 goat, 1/2 armadillo?

by Matt on Jan 11, 2008 7:21 PM CST reply actions

Jackman came into the game minus-13… wonder what he is at, now.

by pdub on Jan 11, 2008 7:21 PM CST reply actions

Are time outs really figured “against” a team? I love Bernie.

Yeah, I said it.

by gallagher on Jan 11, 2008 7:21 PM CST reply actions

Just for fun. Chimera vs the Blues: 27GP 4g 7a 11pts -2 30pim, 8.7% shooting.

i can never hate him, i played hockey with his son and he told my pops he thought i was good hockey player so maybe his talent analysis is off but hey

by Chris D on Jan 11, 2008 7:23 PM CST reply actions

Brewer is back! Say what you want, but Brewer will stay at home which is what we need right now.

by Matt on Jan 11, 2008 7:23 PM CST reply actions

What’s that I hear? Brewer trying to push Foote around…?

The first rule about Eric Brewer is you don’t talk about Eric Brewer.

Hooking has been detected? This new technology given to the refs?

Kariya, that goon!

BJs score again here and I start drinking early tonight.

by pdub on Jan 11, 2008 7:33 PM CST reply actions

Ok, I want to give Brewer credit for a good shot block and break out on the PK there.

by pdub on Jan 11, 2008 7:35 PM CST reply actions

…and I’ll go back to bed.

by Marcus Pettersson on Jan 11, 2008 7:35 PM CST reply actions

Wow, NHL.com says we have 11 shots on goal in the second period, now. Did I just black out for five minutes?

whenever marcus says that he’s really just perpetuating the myth of tall, blonde, blue-eyed nordics being into gay sex with boys…

Third period post is up. See you over there.

by Brad Lee on Jan 11, 2008 7:53 PM CST reply actions

Actually, I’m short and dark. I could be perpetuating (Chris with the big words) the myth about short, dark-haired, blues-eyed (I do have blue eyes) nordics being into gay sex with boys…?
