Hey, I'm early with the third period. Sweet. Blues still up 1-0. Back after the intermission.
Offer still stands. Anyone who wants our paper we sell outside Blues games, e-mail me at gtbradlee@gmail.com. And don't forget, subscribers get a great discount.
19:26 Legace with his best save of the night.
17:37 Ducks turnign up the heat a little. Puck over the glass. I need beer.
16:44 A tired, shrieking 3-year-old is not conducive to good live blogging.
15:46 Perron stoned. Ouch. Nice play.
15:17 Penalty on the Blues. Damn Polak. Cool audio feedback with the referee. Felt like I was at a Nirvana concert.
14:15 Niedermayer hit the post. Legace flinched like it went in.
12:47 Kunitz with the baseball swing with the puck in the air puts it in the net. Tied 1-1.
"This is kind of a downer," Federko said. Sorry, man.
11:25 Perron draws the penalty.
9:45 REGIER! GOAL!
Backes with the assist from behind the goal. If that guy goes back to Peoria, let's burn Scottrade down. Add Woywitka to the helpers. It's 2-1.
7:55 Gallagher texted me awhile ago saying you'd think a defensive defenseman making $4 million a year should be able to check. But McKee sure as hell can't.
For the record, I think Paul Goodloe is twice the meteorologist Richards ever was.
And it was a plane crash. Intentional.
We're the classiest Blues blog on the Internets. And the only real Blues blog, but who's counting?
6:40 Blues power play coming up. Sweet.
5:04 INTENSE power play for St. Louis. No goals yet. Great holds at the point by Brewer. Fans and Kelly think there should have been another penalty.
3:05 Legace freezes the puck. No worries. Not stressed at all. Nope.
1:42 Blues doing a good job mucking up the middle.
1:28 Ducks' goal is empty...and there's a motherfucking penalty on McKee. I hope he feels a little bit ashamed ever time he cashes a check.
Personally I don't like when the Blues pull the goalie on the power play. As Kelly mentioned, icing isn't a deterrent.
0:58 Shot on net. Nice save. Lots of whacking at each other after the whistle.
0:24 Great play by Pronger to reach up and catch the puck. Shot goes over the glass.
Crowd is standing. Great atmosphere. Blues still lead 2-1.
FUCKING COTTON EYED JOE SONG. I HATE YOU MUSIC GUY.
Shot goes over the glass off Corey Perry's dome. Faceoff in the neutral zone. Ok, his shoulder.
0:00.9 LEGACE GOT LANDED ON. PUCK GOES IN AFTER. MOTHERFUCKING BULLSHIT.
GARAGE LEAGUE.
FUCK YOU REFS.
They're reviewing, but what's there to overturn? They can't call interference on the replay. Fuck this shit.
The Ducks player was pushed by McClement. But he didn't push him into Legace. Dude fell into Legace on purpose. Fuck off.
OVERTIME.
4:18 Way to bring the crowd down in overtime announcing the goal, Tom Calhoun.
4:10 Selanne didn't like an icing call. Fired the puck around the boards in protest. Unsporstmanlike anyone?
3:54 Brewer almost ended it. Almost. Now that would be funny.
2:52 Backes with a chance in front. Scrum. Officials apparently won't allow the Blues to perform a pro wrestling move on Giguerre. I'm partial to Jake the Snake's DDT.
STEMPNIAK SCORES!!!!!!!
TAKE THAT DUCKS!!!!!
TAKE THAT REF!!!!!!!
Huge pile of players in the corners up agains the glass. Nice wrist shot from the top of the circle. Stempniak had his head up the whole way, picking his spot.
Stempniak's third of the year.
Wow.
Thanks for hanging tough. Like NKOTB.
No live blog tomorrow night unless Gallagher picks up the keyboard and goes crazy.
Later, figureskaters.

My BF actually has that duck hunting game and it still works.

I was awful at Duck Hunt. Probably why I never hunted . . . I’d probably end up killing my hunting partners AND a hunting dog.

Brad, you lying bastard. You didn’t alert me to the fact that the third period post was up. Nice duckhunt pic though. Man, that really takes me back. That game was badass when I was a kid…until my mom realized that she shot better with her left hand than her right, and started beating me at it. What a bunch of horse shit.

I expect every blocked shot to result in a Blues player writhing on the ice in agony. Probably with a leg snapped off or dangling, the way things have been going.

Bob Richards was a former KSDK weatherman.
He died in a helicopter crash. Can’t remember when it was, but it was sometime in the late ’80’s, early ’90’s.

Parros doesn’t even get a push for running into Manny (even if Brewer did kind of guide him into the collision)? C’mon Brewer!

Thanks, DK… I was in Portland at that time, watching Byron Dafoe and Olaf Kolzig have goalie duels in junior.

Really? I thought Bob was trying to break Charles Lindbergh’s flight record or something.

See J, I was too young to remember such details. I do remember that he had mental problems though, so it doesn’t shock me.
by Donut King on Nov 21, 2008 9:49 PM CST reply actions
Brewer is a vagina.
by The Charred Remains Of Bob Richards on Nov 21, 2008 9:49 PM CST reply actions
Those goalie duels must have been sucktacular. But I’m probably wrong.
by Donut King on Nov 21, 2008 9:50 PM CST reply actions
Yeah it was sometime in the early 90’s, after the floods. He was a fairly accomplished pilot and actually his plane was the first one to leave Spirit of St. Louis Airport when he reopened after the flood of 93, so I guess it was 94 or 95.
by J Stats on Nov 21, 2008 9:51 PM CST reply actions
I must have drank too much rum.
Did Brewer just get a shot on goal? HOW IS THAT FUCKING POSSIBLE?!?!?!
by Donut King on Nov 21, 2008 9:51 PM CST reply actions
I don’t know why, but I always get the impression that Kelly doesn’t like hockey but just broadcasts it for the money.

speaking of that redhead, is she the one with “the face full of dough” as well? I can’t really tell

He nose-dove a plane? For whatever reason I thought it was a helicopter. As I said, I was too young to remember particulars.
Ehh, it doesn’t matter.
Fuck Detroit.
by Donut King on Nov 21, 2008 9:53 PM CST reply actions
Yeah…….whatever he nose dove it was on purpose and the result was the same

Whatever happened to the Auto Tire guy?

He not only put it on goal Do-King, but if they were playing three-post he fucking scored.

After this game I am convinced, the Blues when healthy do not require the services of Hinote, King, Janssen, Stastney or Tkachuk. I’ve seen some of their replacements tonight.

I’m thinking they ought to just go back to having ties in regulation. WTF was the matter with a game ending in a tie?
Just another Bettman “innovation,” from the basketball mindset that there must be a winner.
Ties were good enough for Gordie Howe and Stan Mikita, by God…
Either bring back ties, or go to a European point system… 3 points for a regulation win, 2 points for an OT or SO win, 1 point for an OT or SO loss, 0 points for a regulation loss.

I shit on soccer because some of the the players have gotten to the point where they will roll around on the ground like their fucking leg is snapped in two with the bone sticking out, and return 5 minutes later running around like nothing was ever wrong.
In spite of that, soccer has grown on me the last 2 years. It shares some of the excitement of hockey. At least for me anyway.

Hockey players are starting to get like soccer players somewhat. Acting after the penalties. It’s more prevalent in certain European countries. That’s when the diving got all crazy in the NHL when there was a large influx of Euros.
I’m a soccer fan and out of all the countries and their players I have to say the worst goes to the Spainish or anybody that has played for Barcelona. They will go down until a call is made. If the other team was going on the offense and the play is called dead, they then get the throw in and throw down into the defensive zone. That’s horse shit.
But soccer is a lot like soccer only slower and less physical. The thing though a lot of people don’t understand is you get taught how to hack in the calves and that shit does hurt like fuck all for a few minutes and then kind of goes away. But being a pro you know should know that by now and deal with it. I hate when players trying to draw the penalty quit on the play and ruin a chance and end up with out the call.

Great win for the blues, they needed that one.
Admittedly, I didn’t think the new thirds looked good when I first saw them, but when I saw them on tonight I thought they looked awesome. Anyone else with me?

so on an unrelated topic, the blues aren’t the only ones at the bottom who get bad injury news this week. Dallas just lost Morrow for the year.
