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!

I’ll probably start with a Corona.

awesome! in the last 10 games against Buffalo, Blues are 10-0-0
let’s keep that streak alive

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")

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.

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.

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

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
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
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
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
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
gee, I’m sure glad I activated Manny from IR on my other fantasy team …
by Tim 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
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
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
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’s a level of pessimism that even I’m not ready for Tim.
by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 6:32 PM CST reply actions
if Murray benches Perron anytime soon, I may assault him
by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:34 PM CST reply actions
quick sign and send out red low! we need another fight with a buffalo scrub to win us this gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmm1
by Childhood Trauma on Nov 12, 2008 6:36 PM CST reply actions
I thought you had to have your equipment tied down.
by Aaron on Nov 12, 2008 6:36 PM CST reply actions
now Janssen vs. Peters
winner is…..CAM by a close margin
by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:36 PM CST reply actions
Dollar to donuts that the dude from the Arby’s commercials gets his nuts cut off when they get home.
-1 for Brewer.
by Donut King on Nov 12, 2008 6:41 PM CST reply actions
Jon Kelly called it right. “highway robbery” you don’t stop Boyes that easilly
by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:44 PM CST reply actions
Referees: Chris Rooney, Wes McCauley
Linesmen: Andy McElman, Greg Devorski
by Dooks 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!”
by Childhood Trauma on Nov 12, 2008 6:49 PM CST reply actions
why is Chris Holt even on the backup survey? we can’t vote for someone we haven’t seen in action
by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 7:01 PM CST reply actions
got that covered too, Dooks

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.
by Pagan on Nov 12, 2008 7:13 PM CST reply actions
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.
by Pagan on Nov 12, 2008 7:18 PM CST reply actions
Ehhh, Bishop would’ve stood on his head and made that save . . .
wait . . . WHOA THAT WAS AWESOME!
by Donut King on Nov 12, 2008 7:20 PM CST reply actions
Buffalo gets frustrated easy—-keep working hard against them and they will play like shit.
by Keller on Nov 12, 2008 7:22 PM CST reply actions
I guess Manny won’t be getting the hard hat award tonight.
by Guinea pig on Nov 12, 2008 7:23 PM CST reply actions
Koci barely touched him and he’s not getting up??
by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 7:24 PM CST reply actions
Dooks, of course, it’s Koci for Gods sake. If he breathes heavily on you your knees buckle.

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
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
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…
