Blues Vs. Stars Third Period

By Brad Lee
Welcome to the third period.
And Turco goes to the bench for young Tobias Stephan. Dad said to never trust a man with two first names. He has one, but it's his last name. Eh, rule probably still applies.
20:00 Nice mask. Unoriginal bastard.
17:47 Cam The Animal Janssen, two minutes for foaming at the mouth when he skated by Sean Avery. Only third power play for the Stars. I can live with that most nights.
15:00 Blues only allowed on shot on three power plays. Wow.
14:30 Kariya just put a big hit on Avery. Not quite what I was hoping for, but shows the attitude of this team right now. Smell that? It's the sweet, sweet aroma of hope.
10:46 DJ Dwayne King going to the dressing room in pain. He went for the hit and got mostly glass. Oops.
10:02 Ummm...the teams are skating up and down the ice. There's some...yelling. Seems like the Blues are happy to let the Stars just coast to the finish on this one.
And then Boyes just whistled one right by the net.
8:58 Fans are officially leaving. Happy. That's been kind of rare in recent years when the mood exiting early has more likely been "Moody" or "Suicidally depressed."
7:00 Brewer scores. Three defensemen light the lamp. 6-21.
And I'll be back to wrap it up after this...
Oops. Sorry about that score error.
***
So the Blues have played two home games. They've scored 11 goals. I'm sure that's a sustainable pace. Nothing to worry about.
We'll have a reactin piece up while the Western Hemisphere sleeps. We're like that around here these days.
Hope everyone who wanted a copy of tonight's Game Time. We'll probably do this every now and then when I try a live blog during a home game. Just remember, we're sold outside the Scottrade Center every game. Visit our vendors if you like what we do. And we thank you for your support.
Thanks for stopping by. What a start to the season.

I wonder if anyone calls the Dallas back up goalie “Kunte”

Boy, having played last night really shows on the Stars players

Detroit loses. Fuck Detroit. And the time will be right on November 2nd. I know 2 weeks can be a lifetime for OCD sufferers though.

I’d hate to see the Kinger get hurt and miss Stevie W’s post-game dance party. I hear he’s had a new move to bust out that he’s been keeping a lid on, until he scores the first goal of the season.

three goals from the D? That has to put us pretty close to the season-total from last year, right?

I believe that’d be 6-1, Brad. Do not incur the wrath of the Manny.

well, five more previously pointless players picked up points tonight. Getting close to a mark per player. Still waiting on cammer, pietrangelo and mcclement, right?
by TheDuke32 on Oct 16, 2008 9:48 PM CDT reply actions
was that Cam carrying the puck in, and rolling over a D-man? Sweet.
by Tim on Oct 16, 2008 9:51 PM CDT reply actions
I didn’t get to watch the whole game. Can anyone tell me what the line combinations were tonight? Has McClement been centering Kariya?

That’s the game. You know things are going your way when McKee and Brewer both score.

notes from secton 102.
i only got a 10 game pickem so this will be a rarity,
a) cam janssen sucks rocks. seriously. the best scoring chance (and even though the stars scored it was not on their best chance) was created cos cam janssen didnt change with his mates and instead waddled to turco’s left to make a check when the stars had the puck in the nuetral zone. as the stars took the puck into manny on a partial break, janssen was crawling towards the bench. kudos!
b) mason sucks rocks. yea he didn’t play, but he couldn’t stop anythign in warm-ups. he was taking so much warm-up time i was concerned that murray was thinking home game, dallas tired team, get the win and redeem mason for a bit. thankfully they didn’t start mason. at one point the blues got in a line and all shot one by one glove side high on mason and every single one of them found the net except for janssen (who sucks rocks)
c) janssen was the second on the ice for the pregame warmup- he would have been first if he hadn’t gooned it up with the tunnel rat fans. he was, and OBVIOUSLY so, the last person on the ice at the end of the pre-game warm-up
d) avery sucks. had i not been drawn to his ice time but the smattering of booes tossed in his direction i would have not noticed him. good thing too, i think he brought 23 minutes in his 3 games into tonight performace. that is what, 7.1 minutes per game. wow!
e) the blues are fast
f) kt is on some wacky drug that makes him think he is a 50 goal scoring pwoer forward. his unassisted goal contained at least 3 classic power forward skill plays starting with a little bit of a defensive takeway. his beautious check behind the net gave the blues a goal even if kt didn’t earn a point. it made me start wtching for a kt hatrick, you known score unassisted, brutalize an opponent leading to a goal but don’t get credit for it on the score sheet aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnndd. sigh kt stiopped being over-the-top geat so i couldn’t come up with one. the nerve!
g) even though mojave brewer played solid and scored, and frajile jay scored, at second intermission the rookie d’s had the team lead in ice time. and probaably deserved it. polak looked pretty solid, and wagner didn’t scare me at all.
h) the fans haven’t figured out the dq chear yet. we didnt get a whole lot of time to work on it either. we want dq? we want blizzards? bliiiiii-zaaaaard! bliiiizard! ah nothing clicked. if we scoring 5 every home game we will get somethign working soon id expect. oh the blizzard is a exit handout with a trading card. i got stempkie. so i gues syou need to stay til the end if the blues have 4 goals.
i) late arriving crowd. didnt seem that bad for a thursday night stars game.
j) the blues are really fast. and who did we dump? teh speedy d minded penalty kill specialistst in myers and johnson?!? wow. i guess speed and manuverability rocks tonnes harder than speed and nothing else.

The time on the site should be all figured out now. Only took us three years, so thanks for the heads up.

childhood trauma is my hero. he says everything i would say. i saw a piece recently with avery that changed my opinion. i keep seeing him at practice not paying attention like he’s too good. fuck him. he makes me want to say something horrible concerning the nhl needs good guys and villians crap. just think football and basketball and you might know where my thoughts were going concerning avery. fuck it. quick sometell avery he’s a white guy from canada and not pimp from the south side of chicago. that’s the polite version. btw the video i saw about avery waas on tsn.
wish i could have seen the game instead i was at a rodeo in billins,montana. just so you know i now can say this isn’t my firsy rodeo.

Sorry no chance to post during or after the game last night.
1) That may have been the best all-around game I saw Brewer play. I had to look real hard for his “what-the-fuck-is-he-DOING?” moment.
2) You know you’re an asshole when Paul Kariya tries to take your head off.
3) The DQ Franchise holder is wondering why the Blues told him this team wouldn’t score much.
4) Turco had moments of brilliance, but there had to be a little something extra in his water bottle.
5) Hope King isn’t hurt too badly – looked like an elbow or a shoulder. Hate to see Janssen as our only enforcer.
6) Backes needs to chill out a little – it’s one thing to stick up for your teammates, but another to give the other team a free even-up penalty.
7) I disagree about Janssen’s guilt in the Stars’ goal. DJ left his man at the point to join the 2-on-2 scrum along the boards and the puck went to the point.
8) Anything else negative you could say about the game is a nitpick.
9) FIFTEENTH? Way too much offense for that. The #1 draft pick is a booby prize, and way too many hockey writers seem to think that the blues are the leading contender for the booby prize.
10) TJ Oshie rave- He’s gonna score a goal soon. He has amazing hockey sense for his age. If Andy Murray puts you on the #2 PK, in your rookie season… I see him on the ice and have flashbacks to my youth of watching Bobby Clarke play – except Oshie has more talent.

notes from section 114
not in my weekend package (next game is though, but I can’t go) and nowhere near my usual seating area. I’ll stick to points that Trauma didn’t touch up on, as to not be redundant, with the exception of his point “h”: he’s right, it was a mixed crowd chant for that, but I don’t see why they can’t just rehash the “We want tacos” and change ‘tacos’ to ‘blizzards’
a) not only were there 2 or 3 “tuuuurrrrr-cooooo” chants, but 1 or 2 “Aaaaave-ryyyyyy” chants in the 3rd as well. awesome!
b) horn guy, at least one of them sat in an aisle seat halfway up 113, by 114. his kid did most of the tooting, including the ssssllloooooowww final one, which annoys the hell out of me.
c) the coupon blimp went right over my seat twice and didn’t drop a damn one withinthe two 2 sections on either side of me. fucking ripoff.
d) DJ King tried to run somebody (I wasn’t really paying attention who) but got nothing but boards and reinjured his wrist. I know for a fact because I saw his face wincing in pain as he supported his hand and went to the bench.
e) the “announce the game” contest was awesome, best one so far this year! first contestent sucked ass, second guy owned
f) apparently the chicks like Louie. one chica at an end of a row down by the glass, crossed over her entire row just to get a picture with him, making sure to provacatively get one knee way up against him. (a bunch of kids were seated around the area, mind you.) Louie responded by looking down and shaking his head, seemingly humiliated.
g) my DQ free blizzard handout had Oshie on it. my dad got Dutchie
h) I got a GT bingo! (center column)

Childhood Trauma said: “b) mason sucks rocks…”
Let’s just say this explains it:
“St. Louis Blues backup goaltender Chris Mason is expected to miss two weeks after emergency appendectomy surgery.”

lmao just come back from DQ (is it not p.c. to say Dairy Queen anymore?)
and a lady was attempting unsuccessfully to get her free blizzard with her ticket…unsuccessfully. they held up a coupon they had already collected and said “you need one of these to get a free one”. she had never seen one before. I’m like “yeah, they were handing them out as you left the building”
she probably left early in the 3rd period or something, before the staff set up the boxes at the exits.
