Blues v Buffalos

By Sean Gallagher

$4million a year to leave Buffalo? YEAH!The 6 p.m. start means this is a game day thread for starters, but you all may get a surprise visit from Bradley Leigh Lee at some point.

Until then, fill 'er up with your comments and love/hate for Fragile Jay McKee, Eric "The Robot" Brewer and Barret "overpaid because I was drafted here" Jackman.

No Kariya, still no Oshie, but the Sabres are likely dressing a 'tough guy' line (thanks to our friend Keller the Buffalo transplant for that info) and are also likely to start their back-up, a guy by the name of Patrick Lalime. Heard of him? Yeah, he's the same guy that we once printed up foam toilet stress-relievers with his name on them.

And yes, it does seem like the Blues have become that team, once again, that the opponents always start their back-up against. Oh well, let's hope they take advantage.

Let's Go Blues!

my source says Miller will get the start

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 5:10 PM CST reply actions  

… as does my source.

Dooks said: “my source says Miller will get the start”

I’ll probably start with a Corona.

by Mr. Particle on Nov 12, 2008 5:34 PM CST reply actions  

awesome! in the last 10 games against Buffalo, Blues are 10-0-0

let’s keep that streak alive

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 5:36 PM CST reply actions  

With all the Brewer-bashing going on lately, I’ve decided to do a little experiment and try to keep track of Brewer’s play. I’ll give him a +1 for every good play I notice, and a -1 for every bad play. If he scores a goal I’ll give him +5. If he makes a play that directly leads to a Buffalo goal, -5. If he does nothing special, I won’t add or subtract. Then I’ll see what score he ends up with.

Yeah, he makes some bad plays, but he can’t be bad all the time, right?

Anybody else want to give this a try so we can compare scores? (make it more "scientific")

by Mr. Particle on Nov 12, 2008 5:40 PM CST reply actions  

may my source be with you, always…

by Childhood Trauma on Nov 12, 2008 5:46 PM CST reply actions  

According to one of John Hadley’s sources, the Blues are closing in on a deal that will send Brett Hull to Chicago for Eric Daze.

by Gift on Nov 12, 2008 5:50 PM CST reply actions  

particle. PAIR HIM! pick an equally paid and or played sabres and then just do the brewer vs. oh … spacek?

yep. watch that. and give us the difference.

oh by the by, brewer makes an extra million.

for me, and i tried your system except i called it the mojavve brewer experiment which was, lets all be honest, an utter disaster, it isnt that brewer sucks, it IS THAT THE BLUES MADE HIM A TOP TIER D-man while sucking. polak can go suck some games. i’ll give him some slack.

by Childhood Trauma on Nov 12, 2008 5:52 PM CST reply actions  

daze? i thought it was eric johnson, brad boyes and a pick for matt holiday? did that deal fall through?!?!

by Childhood Trauma on Nov 12, 2008 5:52 PM CST reply actions  

I gave Gally bad info…but expect Lalime in net after Miller gives up the 5th goal in the first

by keller on Nov 12, 2008 5:56 PM CST reply actions  

Sounds like Particle just invented himself a new drinking game.

by Guinea pig on Nov 12, 2008 5:58 PM CST reply actions  

they showed Lalime warming up, so it may be a game time decision

Kariya expects to return Friday @ Chicago

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 5:59 PM CST reply actions  

Cam will fight Peters tonight

by keller on Nov 12, 2008 6:04 PM CST reply actions  

Annoying Buffalo fact #1: Buffalo is the only NHL team that always plays both anthems regardless of who is playing.

by keller on Nov 12, 2008 6:06 PM CST reply actions  

Miller did indeed get the nod tonight

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:10 PM CST reply actions  

wow, Hinote unintentially plowed into Miller and didn’t get pummelled. you never see this

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:11 PM CST reply actions  

that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a fight that actually happened in slo-mo …

by Tim on Nov 12, 2008 6:12 PM CST reply actions  

Koci vs. Peters

winner is…….Imma say it’s a draw

“that was a heck of a shot”

shut the hell up

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:14 PM CST reply actions  

pretty lucky break on that “drop pass” guess we’ll just have to assume we’ll always get one lucky one scored on us.

by bzgea2 on Nov 12, 2008 6:15 PM CST reply actions  

or two lucky ones

by bzgea2 on Nov 12, 2008 6:17 PM CST reply actions  

Shocking I tell ya, just shocking. (sigh)

Goblin is not happy

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:18 PM CST reply actions  

SUNUVABITCH! Of course, had that been a Detoilet goaltender, the ref would have whistled the play dead before the puck trickled in. Fuck Detroit

by Tim on Nov 12, 2008 6:19 PM CST reply actions  

boyes on the backcheck will almost always equal a goal

by bzgea2 on Nov 12, 2008 6:19 PM CST reply actions  

motherfucker!!!

PULLED!

Holy shit

by keller on Nov 12, 2008 6:20 PM CST reply actions  

hate to point this out, but did anyone notice brewer wasnt on the ice for any of those three goals?

by bzgea2 on Nov 12, 2008 6:20 PM CST reply actions  

WTF this is terrible.

by Lodnod on Nov 12, 2008 6:20 PM CST reply actions

Holy shit, indeed.

I just puked in my mouth. Fuuuuuuck.

by Guinea pig on Nov 12, 2008 6:21 PM CST reply actions  

I should have bought more than a 12 pack…

by LosBri on Nov 12, 2008 6:22 PM CST reply actions  

if youre going to be down by three, it may as well be with 53 minutes left in the game.

by bzgea2 on Nov 12, 2008 6:22 PM CST reply actions  

Yes, 53 more minutes in which I can lose control and throw something across the room.

by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 6:23 PM CST reply actions  

we definitely need a new defensive system

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:24 PM CST reply actions  

I really thought, hoped, after EJ went down they were going to get more D help, someone with some experience

by Lodnod on Nov 12, 2008 6:25 PM CST reply actions  

We need d-men who know how to play the damn game instead of running around like headless chickens.

by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 6:26 PM CST reply actions  

Maybe Pittsburgh will loan us Staal for the rest of the game.

by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 6:27 PM CST reply actions  

oy vay. how bad is it, that the best scoring opportunity so far has been Brew?

by Tim on Nov 12, 2008 6:28 PM CST reply actions  

um, Nice Save ???

by Tim on Nov 12, 2008 6:28 PM CST reply actions  

There’s those chickens again.

by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 6:29 PM CST reply actions  

At this rate, the Rams might catch the Blues in the W column

by Tim on Nov 12, 2008 6:31 PM CST reply actions  

that a way, Davy!!! The pride of Quebec!

by Tim on Nov 12, 2008 6:32 PM CST reply actions

Thanks again Dooks!

by LosBri on Nov 12, 2008 6:45 PM CST reply actions  

Brad Boyes should sit a period after that effort

by keller on Nov 12, 2008 6:46 PM CST reply actions  

the first line has the right idea, but they need to make sure the dude charging the net is OPEN

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:47 PM CST reply actions  

so what ya think polak tells brewer after polak saves brewe’s ass?

im thinking “you do the math and i’ll do the alfredo!”

Tim, I don’t believe it unless it’s backed up by YouTube.

by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 7:10 PM CST reply actions  

wow, after blowing 3 goals in the first 5 minutes of the game, we’re actually back in it

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 7:11 PM CST reply actions  

“Brewer makes a soft pass to the wrong guy.” That about sums up his season.

by Guinea pig on Nov 12, 2008 7:13 PM CST reply actions  

They should definitely play TechnoViking when Berglund scores.

wow … excellent play by Mason there, getting set back again for the inevitable rebound shot. hot damn!

by Tim on Nov 12, 2008 7:16 PM CST reply actions  

That’s weird…with all the YouTube posts, I just played TechnoViking while waiting to leave work.

by Guinea pig on Nov 12, 2008 7:16 PM CST reply actions  

Not that weird. You’re just reacting to an experiment we’ve put you in.

unbelievable stoppage there by Mason!

Buffalo gets frustrated easy—-keep working hard against them and they will play like shit.

I guess Manny won’t be getting the hard hat award tonight.

Koci barely touched him and he’s not getting up??

Dooks, of course, it’s Koci for Gods sake. If he breathes heavily on you your knees buckle.

his breath must smell like hot garbage

hits: 25-14 Blues

SOME goon line Buffalo advertised

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 7:29 PM CST reply actions  

heh, clips from the Blues/Sabres game last year. one of the few games Mike Johnson played

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 7:30 PM CST reply actions  

Miller continues his highway robbery spree

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 7:31 PM CST reply actions  

Ahh, the triple Johnson days. Memories so powerful.

by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 7:32 PM CST reply actions  

Hey Dooks

Last years Johnsons record.

Playing with 1 Johnson 5-3-0
Playing with 2 Johnsons 15-26-8
Playing with 3 Johnsons 11-3-3

They play better with more Johnsons.

by LosBri on Nov 12, 2008 7:34 PM CST reply actions  

this year’s record, with NO Johnson’s: 5-7-1

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 7:36 PM CST reply actions  

Yep, it’s obvious, the Blues need some major Johnson.

by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 7:41 PM CST reply actions  

As long as it’s not this Major Johnson:

by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 7:44 PM CST reply actions  

I’ve got to say Mason has played great. We need a goaltender to that consistently.

LosBri: Last year’s record when the Note are Brewerless 6-0.

Brewer coming into the game is a lifetime -87. WOW.

I still think it’s too early to give up on this team. At the same time we need someone with more skill brought up to replace the loss of Oshie and Kariya.

McClement well, he’s definitely not a third liner anymore.

by Chris D. on Nov 12, 2008 7:48 PM CST reply actions  

Suffice to say Kariya doesn’t have much of a broadcast career ahead of him.

So go get Brent Johnson back from the Capitals.

Then not only would the Blues get back towards filling their Johnson quota, they’d be able to boast a TJ, an EJ, a DJ and a BJ…
