Around SBN: Lance Berkman Could Have Torn ACL

Forget Yesterday; Panthers Tonight

By Sean Gallagher

Dude. He said to pull his finger, so I did, and when I did, you won't believe what happened.

Not to be superstitious, but we're not even going to mention the name of the person who may or may not have a curse following her around the NHL. In fact, we're just going to pretend like our starting goalie getting hurt coming onto the ice is not that weird of a circumstance.

We did, after all, already lose our stud defenseman to a fight with a miniaturized mode of transportation.

Instead, we're going to focus on the positive: Hmmm.

OK, we're just going to focus on the possibly-positive: at least the Panthers had to fly in last night after their game. The traditionally crappy Cats from So. Florida are excited to be in first place in their weak division... with the exact same record as the mini-slumping Blues.

Can our guys bounce back from their embarassing 'performance' of last night, or are the Panthers going to be the next team to remind us that the Blues just aren't as good as we thought? Only one way to find out: drop the non-ceremonial puck, bitches.

No one is home from the GT Staff tonight, so you kids are on your own with this thread. Play nice, don't leave the refrigerator open or the oven on, and we expect you all to be in bed when we get home. Oh, and Chris D? Absolutely no parties.

Let's Go Blues!

by Dave S on Oct 25, 2008 8:31 PM CDT reply actions  

nice, throw it on net. Hopefully they keep doing that. That’s Backes’ goal for sure.

by NaJaKwa on Oct 25, 2008 8:34 PM CDT reply actions  

Dave S – me too. jesus.

by NaJaKwa on Oct 25, 2008 8:35 PM CDT reply actions  

alright pk it’s your time to shine. Lets get out of this 5 on 3

by Dave S on Oct 25, 2008 8:39 PM CDT reply actions  

Man….Bishop is not afraid to come out of the net.

by Travis on Oct 25, 2008 8:49 PM CDT reply actions  

So we are winning tonight without a republican on the ice…….hmmm interesting

by J Stats on Oct 25, 2008 8:50 PM CDT reply actions  

for the record, tonight’s puck ended up in the same skate as it started.

by Tim on Oct 25, 2008 8:50 PM CDT reply actions  

that makes 5 games right Tim?

Anyways we’re shooting the puck tonight and we’ve scored twice, what a novel idea.

by Dave S on Oct 25, 2008 8:54 PM CDT reply actions  

PP GOAL!!!

by Dave S on Oct 25, 2008 8:54 PM CDT reply actions  

WE SCORED A GOAL BITCHES!!!

by Christine on Oct 25, 2008 8:55 PM CDT reply actions  

Walt, what a goal! How about that fourth line? Drawing penalties and getting scoring chances all season.

by NaJaKwa on Oct 25, 2008 9:00 PM CDT reply actions  

good period blues lets come out strong in the 3rd.

by Dave S on Oct 25, 2008 9:07 PM CDT reply actions  

Two questions about last night…

Question #1 – Manny hurt his groin tripping over Palin’s carpet?

Question #2 – Does the carpet match the curtains?

Wow Brad Boyes sucks at home improvement

What does TV or radio say about Big Ben?

by Milo on Oct 25, 2008 9:35 PM CDT reply actions  

nothing on TV yet, just that it looked like a muscle pull of some sort on the replay.

by Dave S on Oct 25, 2008 9:36 PM CDT reply actions  

Poor Ben! I hope he’s okay. What a terrible thing to happen just 15 minutes left for a potential shutout.

by Travis on Oct 25, 2008 9:37 PM CDT reply actions  

Umm……
Bishop, too………………..?

didn’t see anything on the tube as to why he was injured. I had the Florida feed and they couldn’t tell what happened but they showed his last play from above and you couldn’t see anything.

Damn I wanted to have a fucking party!! Almost had a fellow alum get his first NHL shutout and my first fantasy hockey shutout of the season. My main goalie is King henry of the Blueshirts. Oh well I’ll have to settle for five points between Kariya and McDonald.

In the end I’m glad I missed the game last night and caught this one. The Blues were generous with their win as they could have easily ripped Florida apart by more than four goals. Marek looked pretty solid so there’s that going for us. I have decided despite Tkachuk’s play he seems to do better when I rip into him so understand that as I continue to diss him.

Cheers from Montana bitches.

now Bishop is injured? is that what I’m hearing? are you fucking kidding me?

by Christine on Oct 25, 2008 10:31 PM CDT reply actions  

notes from section 102 part 2 of ten

a) every seat has its pluses ad minuses. i actually like sitting were i sit, however it should be noted the following did occur tonight

    i) louie touched me. he put his paw near mine and then he touched me. he touched me and suddenly…. actually he went for a low five and figured out i wasnt that type and patted me on the shoulder which was bad enough. his ears are already filth stained. his EARS. wtf?!?

  ii) i heard the following comments :
      1) watching it live is much better than watching it on tv. what did i just miss?
      2) what did they say? i think it was “lets go blues”

     3) look! they are changing teams on the fly!

    4)(in response to a misconduct penatlty on florida, either i misheard this or those peep were sharing a working brain] that will teach them not to fart

   5)that was the best part of the hockey game! what was? the beer vendor asked for my id!
    6) fight! fight (this was noit at either of the two momements when janssen was on the ice and punches might have actually been tossed, this was at a stoppage when teh blues first line was out and the players were more interested in swappng spit than lefts

  7) some long 10 minute discussion of what icing was but about two minutes in i had to seek medical help for a sudden brain anorisym.

ok on to hockey, i’ve no idea what happen to big ben. he didnt look good for about 2 minutes before a stoppage, and then they talked to him and then took him out. he had groin issues at the frozen four. if that is it again that is too much groinal weakness.
 
he also isnt ready yet for the nhl. he does two things poorly. first he overplays the shooter which might get you accolaids in college and get you the starting job over marek in pepria. in the pros it gets you benched. and second, he doesnt control the puck after it hits him

marek’s stock is falling faster than the dow recently, but he did corral a puck of two. i hope sandfod or his son is available, or maybe the hyphenator is around???

i’m 2-0 baby with an average goal outpout by the blues of 4.5 so beat that!

kt is still playing like a god, if i hadnt seen him play the last 4 years i’d think the guy wasa hall of famer and a re-incarnation of bobby hull. he hits, he plays d, he scores. wow.

i’m going to lay off cam for 27.4 hours. he had chances to lose the blues a power play by punching someone a few times and chose not to do it. he has a brain that knows power play is greater than fight.

dq put the call in to andy murray. why else is cam and jay and the scubs on the pwoer play at the end of the game?

by Childhood Trauma on Oct 25, 2008 10:53 PM CDT reply actions  

I was laughing when I saw Cam on the PP at the end, there. I figure that was an " ‘atta boy " pat on the back for playing heads-up earlier game. Sometimes, ice time, particularly PP ice time, is used as a reward. That’s my guess, anyway. In any case, he definitely drew a disproportionate amount of attention by the Panthers while he was out there, so it was a good call.

by Tim on Oct 25, 2008 11:10 PM CDT reply actions  

Did nyone else notice that Oshie got pretty much nailed to the bench in the third period? WTF?

The day I figure out Janssen’s role on the team is the same day I’ll hear voices while out working in the corn field and build a baseball field.

by Chris Gift on Oct 26, 2008 12:04 AM CDT reply actions  

Janssen’s role on the team is to agitate like Avery, w/out knowing the latest trends in womens fashion.

by Dan on Oct 26, 2008 12:42 AM CDT reply actions  

Similarly, my role on this site is to hate the red wings unconditionally, and hope patrick kane get’s his whiny ass knocked out the next time we see him.

by Dan on Oct 26, 2008 12:44 AM CDT reply actions  

Good point, Dan. FUCK DETROIT. Can’t believe it took you guys this long in a thread and no one posted that. You’re losing your heart.

by Pagan on Oct 26, 2008 8:58 AM CDT reply actions  

It was nice to watch the game (I have basic cable but FULL internet). I noticed the Blues like to use Stepniak on the point during the powerplay—-WTF—-can’t a pair of offensive defenseman take the helm on the PP?

by Keller on Oct 26, 2008 1:27 PM CDT reply actions  

Are you shitting me? Brad Boyes wears more eye protection to paint a wall than he wears to play hockey?

by Keller on Oct 26, 2008 1:29 PM CDT reply actions  

anyone else notice that Perron was all over Skrastins and Ballard, agitating them and getting them off their game?

we’re running out of goalies gahdammit!

was I hearing a damn car horn preceeding the “lets go Blues!” chants? it sounded like a faint ‘beep-beep-beep’

by Dooks on Oct 26, 2008 2:27 PM CDT reply actions  

Dooks: Someone in 312 or 313 has some weak-assed beeper or something.

Remember, kids — friends don’t let friends wussy horn.

by Milo on Oct 26, 2008 5:07 PM CDT reply actions  

Ben has also already had knee issues. Oh and I vote for a new nick name as Big Ben is far too obvious, why the fuck can’t we call him Tiny Ben? Come on we all need a guy named Tiny in our lives when he’s actually big.

I agree with Trauma about his interpretation on Bishop’s play. But it also looked like Florida was trying to over compensate for what little net they saw and missing completely. His stickhandling skills are great and maybe he can teach Manny a thing or two so I won’t have to cringe as much when I see Manny go behind the net.

Have faith in the Schwartz. His game is much better now I swear. I’m almost sure I’d rather see Marek in net than Mason after the game Mason played I tried to figure out how Ears switched bodies.

by Chris D. on Oct 26, 2008 6:12 PM CDT reply actions  

now who’s Schwartz’s backup? =P

by Christine on Oct 26, 2008 8:03 PM CDT reply actions  

bishop tutu?!

by Childhood Trauma on Oct 26, 2008 8:08 PM CDT reply actions  

maybe a nickname that relates to a bishop, perhaps “Archie” (like an archbishop)

by Dooks on Oct 26, 2008 8:23 PM CDT reply actions  

there were the idiots up top of 313 doing that horn all game even when we were down by 4 on friday. over in 315 we were trying to get a brewer sucks chant going.

by Dave S on Oct 26, 2008 8:53 PM CDT reply actions  

Lol Tutu Archie and it goes with the Arch as well. Wasn’t that one of Louie’s possible nicknames? He did go to Catholic school. Maybe we should just call him the Building.
