The Blues travel to Long Island less than 24 hours after clobbering the Predators in the home opener. Will the kids show the same confidence? Will the veterans still have the same jump? Will you survive if we don't have a live blog the first road game of the season?
There's an outside shot someone will jump on and try to fill my live-blogging shoes. As was discussed over beers, someone whose name rhymes with Smallagher said, "I fucking hate live blogging. No way. No. Sorry, won't do it. Uh uh. Nope." So there's a chance he might or someone else.
Just in case...here's a quick and dirty preview. Game time is 6 p.m. in the St. Louis area. TV is KPLR.
So go wild in the comments. And if a live blog magically appears, have fun. We'll check in a few times.

Maybe, no and depends on how much I drink. Blues still win ’cause the Isles suck ass.

Isles are all grit, so we’ll see if the kids can take the punishment

Hi, I’m Channel 11. I’m trying to kill you.
Also, don’t ever sleep next to Gomer. Ever.

All I’ve got is internet radio for this, I’m looking forward to see how the boys in blue come out tonight afterwatching last nights game (113) and all the preseason games. Should be good if they can come out with the same energy that they have been so far.

Maybe we should just live-blog the Andy Griffith Show…
Spoiler alert! Opie dies in this one.

If Don Knotts wasn’t already dead, this would make me want to kill him.
Just like the way Gomer killed Opie in the woods.

NHL.com’s whiz-bang new live stats, etc. suck ass…
They have seven defensemen listed as playing for the Blues tonight, no Jay McClement, and only 17 players total.

Scheiss… another game, another early friggin’ goal against… :-X

If this doesn;t get any better real fast, I’m turning the sound down at 7:00 and putting the Rivermen webcast on.
Of course, they did a choke job last night… got out to a 3-zip lead against the IceHog ripoffs from Iowa, then gave up five unanswered goals.
Get Mason the fuck out of there right goddamn now.

On the bright side, my SuperSonic with everything and large chocolate malt is fantastic.

Ironically enough, Hannu’s playing fairly well in Finland right now. 2.64 GAA, 90.0% save percentage, 6-4-0 with one shutout in 11 games.
Oh, and guess who the top goalie in the SM-Liiga is just now?
Yep, that’s right, Jusso-fucking-Riksman.

The Blues have an EJ, a DJ, and a TJ… let’s get rid of Mason, get Brent Johnson back, and have a BJ to add to the lineup.
Yee-ha… I like Boyes!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Gilbert scores short-handed, and Mason is a remade Toivonen.

Dooks, Mason might not come back on the plane to St. Louis…
He looks like Riksman looked in his seven-minute AHL career last season.

So anyone know the record for shorties on a single powerplay? If the Blues aren’t getting pressure they may challenge for it.

I am getting really pissed off with AHLlive.com… I’m paying six bucks for a blank, silent screen, and their “feedback” link isn’t working, either.
The free live stream on Peoria’s home radio station is also not working.

At least the Rivermen are winning, 2-0 after one period. Julian Talbot has three goals in two games, and Whitfield has a shorty tonight for the Rivermen.

I might be 0 for 3 tonight with teams. UM football lost (omfg hideous I was actually there), St. Louis is gonna lose, and I don’t know about UM’s hockey team yet I have to check.

As someone else stated correctly, Theorin Fleury is the only player in NHL history to have a short-handed hat trick.
And I really hate when this kind a crap happens.

"he doesn’t look like Vincent D’onoffrio (sp?)
PRIVATE PYLE!!!!"
Speaking of Full Metal Jacket, does anyone recall the scene where they held Private Pyle down on the bed and pounded him with soapbar filled socks? I’m all about the guys doing just that to ears-reincarnated Chris Mason…hell he even kinda looks a little like Private Pyle.
by Dan on Oct 11, 2008 10:06 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
actually he looks more like some fake goalie wearing an edgar suit.
think he said something like
Y’know, I’ve noticed an infestation here. Everywhere I look, in fact. Nothing but undeveloped, unevolved, barely conscious pond scum, totally convinced of their own superiority as they scurry about their short, pointless lives.
about the wings.
so i’d really be careful around him…
