First of all, if you are reading this, welcome to the live blog. It also means you're not at the hockey game. So if you'd like a complimentary copy of tonight's Game Time paper, e-mail me at gtbradlee@gmail.com and I'll hook you up. You'll get addicted. And remember, subscriptions are available at a cheap price electronically.
It's Ducks, it's Blues, it's new jerseys. Come back for the live blog.
By the way, I'll have the approve comments window open. So if you haven't joined the fun and games, feel free. We don't bite. Sober.
Jimmy the Cat Hayes is sporting the new sweater while interviewing some fans. "I had a little bit of a fashion dilemma. I didn't know if I should tie the strings or not. So I decided to let them hang. It works." Indeed.
Introducing all the versions of the Blues jersey, the skipped the late 80s, early 90s, my favorite. And Oshie is healthy enough to walk out but not play? Bullshit, man.
19:57 BJ goes at it from the start! With Moen they dance at center ice. Crombeen witha few nice shots. Now he's hanging on. Interesting start. What's with Friday nights and all the fighting?
Lodnod
Wow forced to come up with a BJ joke already!
If you look at your Game Time for tonight, we now have the Big Johnson Joke of the Game, the Roman Polak Joke of the Game and the BJ Crombeen Joke of the Game.
19:40 McClement almost broke the seal on the season with a wraparound. Hooking call, Blues on the power play. Love Friday games.
18:29 Brewer with a blocked shot from the point. Shocking. In Rutherford's Morning Skate Blog, he mentioned that Murray had the defensemen taking 1/2 shots from the point in practice. Wonder why?
17:09 Federko missed the first three minutes. I thought the broadcast was a little better tonight.
TWO FIGHTS? Winchester and Montador and Janssen and May. Holy crap. FSN, go to split screen. Janssen drops May like a bad fucking habit. Holy shit.
May turtled like my prom date in high school.
15:30 What a dumb rule that you can't have two fights at once. NHL is a pussy league.
14:20 The old 4-3 power play for the Blues for under a minute. I go to the fridge to ice some beers and the Blues get another power play.
12:46 BACKES PUTS THE REBOUND IN! Power play goal. Blues lead 1-0. That dude needs to get going.
12:15 Blues are absolutely flying around right now. They have to keep this momentum.
9:55 Blues still putting the pressure on. I think they like the new jerseys.
Now Winchester and Montador going at it again. Lots of spinning. Winchester knocked his helmet off. Not many punches landing. Mutual takedown.
What's up with the Blues? Do they think they're playing the Blackhawks or something? (yes, that was for you, Rask)
7:00 "It's not good news when you're losing stars in this league," Federko said. Really. Because it's a good thing in the NFL.
6:40 McClement going to the box for prostitution.
5:50 Lucky clear for the Blues. Then Pronger fanned.
3:54 Blues still buzzing...like the drunk people who just showed up at my house. So that's why the posting has slowed down.
2:22 Another Ducks power play.
END OF PERIOD
Blues lead 1-0. I'll let you know in the comments when the next period thread is up.

I feel a win tonight. Mainly because the Blues are a master of karate and friendship for everyone.

This jersey ceremony is dramatic. Reed Low. Kelly Chase. THE OSH!

Ugh, they’ve got the blue rat already disgracing the thirds.

Sammy Hagar’s bassist wore the Blues 3rd jersey Tuesday. The Jefferson County Mayor traded 50 pounds of meth for it.

Crombeen in a fight right off the opening faceoff in his first game as a Blue. methinks he’s trying to make you forget Koci was ever a part of this team

btw Dan, the blue rat wore the 3rd during the Montreal game

i fell asleep, did they show the black jersey that apparently was never worn in a game?

The Blues gave Anaheim a BJ only 3 seconds in. Sluts.

I have been unable to to tune into the game yet. Answer Mom is watching some stupid show. I snuck over to the computer while Answer Mom…uh ohhhhh…shhhh…she’s coming, hold on…OK, she has to take a dump. That gives me about 40 minutes, sweet. I’m headed to the basement to watch. I’ll try to check back in from time to time.
Shhhhh Go Blues!!!

I swear to God , Brewer has a softer shot than a teenage girl

Dooks, thanks for the heads up. I think I’m gonna bring my zippo and burn that blue bastard the next time I make it to a game.

At least we can say that Pronger is finally back in St. Louis.

can’t believe May is still playing. Janssen sends him a message that he needs to retire

Damn Cam. Just blast him, why don’tcha.
oh. Sweeet.
by Donut King on Nov 21, 2008 7:47 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
so one extra ref = less consistent penalty calling, but 1 less linesman= fight all night and party every day?
by Childhood Trauma on Nov 21, 2008 7:47 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Every time I try to order a pizza there’s a fight!
Jansen looked like a crazy hobo while he was skating off.
by Guinea Pig on Nov 21, 2008 7:48 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Nothing wrong with the crazy hobo look . . . if you’re man enough to try to pull it off, anyway.
Dooks: I believe he did.

Off to a good start. Would enjoy someone to cash in with this 2nd place power play unit now.

Polak shoots, gets saved: AWWW!
Backes slams in the rebound: YEAHH!
by Dooks on Nov 21, 2008 7:53 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Dooks. I think that goal was giving us a goal. Kinda like in bowling where you get a handicap if you are the worse bowler. (I have minimal knowledge of how this works, but we should be spotted a 1-0 lead for all games the rest of the season to even the playing ground)

Giguere was closer to Krispy Kreme than his net on that goal.

So if the Blues look like a Peoria lineup on steroids, the Rivermen tonight look like an Alaska lineup on steroids.
Called up from Alaska for tonight’s game are: T.J. Fast, Tonas Kana, Josh Soares and Alexandre Imbeault.
Yee-ha… Drazenovic shoprthanded for the Rivermen. 1-0 Rivs.
Yee-ha again… Backes on the PP. 1-0 Blues.
Things are starting off well in the organ-I-zation tonight. I’ll have to check and see if Alaska’s playing, and where they called up players from…

i’m liking how were looking so far. proof that King and Janssen aren’t necessary—winchester actually has skill and crombeen way ahead of the other chodes in scoring.

Every time I hear them say BJ on the telecast I think about Family Guy.

Lois- “Oh Peter, I’m holdin iced teas here.”
I just laugh out loud a little bit.

i was reading some posters on the post-disgrace today. note they are ripping off gametime’s story ideas.
one of them came up with worst all-time Blue, in other words guy picked up with all the promise and no delivery.
one guy put in Brett Hull’s name. Another MacInnis. Another Gretzky. fucking tards.
The answer obviously is an almost tie between Weight and Tkachuk. Since Tkachuk’s taken the most players and money he wins the tie-breaker.

Hey, are the Blues wearing their new 3rd jerseys? They haven’t mentioned it for almost a full 60 seconds, so I wasn’t sure.

Chris, post that in the second-period thread when it comes up… if the Answer Man is around, I’d be willing to bet he’ll take you up on it.
I’d consider it, but I haven’t played hockey on the ice in almost 30 years, and Mrs. GTPD has “plans” for me around the house all weekend… :-(
