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   0 recs

… 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   0 recs

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   0 recs

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.

by Gift on Nov 12, 2008 5:50 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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   0 recs

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   0 recs

Sounds like Particle just invented himself a new drinking game.

by Guinea pig on Nov 12, 2008 5:58 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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

Kariya expects to return Friday @ Chicago

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

Miller did indeed get the nod tonight

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:10 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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

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   0 recs

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   0 recs

we definitely need a new defensive system

by Dooks on Nov 12, 2008 6:24 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

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   0 recs

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

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

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.

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   0 recs

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…
