If A Game Happens And No One Can See It…

Print...did it really happen?
By Sean Gallagher
In a sea of pessimism, we'd like to be a tiny island of optimism. So you know what the good takeaways from yesterday's debacle are?
- The IceBerg is back in the lineup and he scored a goal. Our regular reader that I met for the first time on the street yesterday who was wearing his third jersey with No. 21 on it must have been happy about that.
- Keith Tkachuk continued to
streaktrudge towards his 1,000th career point with an assist on the first goal. Much like his 500th goal, he'll probably hit the milestone on the road, where opposing fans will be bewildered as to why his teammates are mobbing him so overzealously. - There's another game against another crappy opponent
tonighttoday. There's a good chance they can put that let-down loss yesterday behind them quickly.
The game allegedly starts at 2:05. We say allegedly because we don't even have an operable radio in the house anymore, so short of sitting in the car and listening or struggling through a constantly-buffering internet broadcast, we probably won't hear a lot of this one. Honestly? We'll probably just be watching the comments in this thread and following the action through you.
We love Kerber and Chase, but we're not driving today.
As for today's match up with the tiny birds, Yahoo has a pretty good post-game/pre-game analysis. Personally, we hope to see something up on our new friend hildymac's site called Wazzupwitchu. Because, you know, we prefer the non-manistream media viewpoint.
Here's hoping for a good game, a fun radio broadcast and some more of your classic comments to get us through this one.
Let's Go Blues!

in strange matchup news, the Blues better plan on outshooting Atlanta. the Thrashers have yet to lose a game when they are outshoot their opponents

I’m gonna try to go with the radio stream on http://blues.nhl.com/index.html

It says its on is it there for you guys? just looks like its loading for me.

I believe the correct pronounciation is how Kerber is saying it: Co-Lye-ach-a-vo

NB: I tried it for a while, but it never worked.
Detroit is to blame, of course.

the vid never loaded. I gave up on it. I’m on the radio stream

I’m old school. I’ve got the actual radio on.
Yeah, I’m badass.

theres no television for this game on either side so the stream wont work.
its 2008 and a sporting event is going completely untelevised. amazing.

Brewer got a shot through, but likely it was soft as usual

If Brew gets a shot thru, but we didn’t see it, did it happen?

you sure the stream is 10 minutes behind actual radio? Donut is reacting the same time we are
by Dooks on Nov 30, 2008 2:18 PM CST reply actions
if youre on the kmox page’s stream, then you’re behind, but if you click on the kmox link from the blues page (i just switched over) then we should all be on the same page.

Apparently they both hit the deck.
And the Thrashers organist redeemed himself by playing the Budweiser Clydesdales theme . . . correctly, for the most part.

man, thats so true. every now and then he lets out a snippet of “Rudie Can’t Fail” by The Clash.

wow, chaser just pointed out the fact that no tv feeds = no replays. if thats true how could this situation (zero television) be allowed to happen?

“This one won’t be reviewed because there is no TV.”
“All they’ll have in Toronto is a house feed.”
Well, fuck me running.

how are you gonna have a game when neither city is televising it? that seems so cold

they should have at least made some kind of “old timey radio days” promo for the game.

heh Todd White gets penalized for falling down apparently
by Dooks on Nov 30, 2008 2:45 PM CST reply actions
It’s amazing that the Blues will start the econd period with a clean sheet of ice.
Uhhhh, Kerbs, don’t they normally do that?
by Milo on Nov 30, 2008 2:45 PM CST reply actions
We should all be at a sports bar huddled around a single-speakered AM only radio.
by Milo on Nov 30, 2008 2:46 PM CST reply actions
They should have an old promo from back when Jack Buck was calling Blues games. That would be hilarious.
by Donut King on Nov 30, 2008 2:46 PM CST reply actions
whats really amazing is the fact that im almost certain I never heard kovalchuk’s name mentioned once that entire period.
by bzgea2 on Nov 30, 2008 2:47 PM CST reply actions
Milo: Sometimes those zambonis drop bombs while they’re clearing the ice. Especially in Hotlanta.

is the bartender chick from Johnny’s the radio equivilent of the bud light redhead?
by bzgea2 on Nov 30, 2008 2:49 PM CST reply actions
Yeah Milo. Amazing to me that they call it a march when the majority of it involved a lit torch.
by Donut King on Nov 30, 2008 2:50 PM CST reply actions
bzgea2 – If you mean big-boobed, heavily make-upped, and chunky, then yes.
by Milo on Nov 30, 2008 2:50 PM CST reply actions
DK – They must not have been too pissed because their original NHL franchise was named the Flames.
by Milo on Nov 30, 2008 2:52 PM CST reply actions
lol Milo. Good point!
Also amazing: Chicago’s soccer team is called the Fire.
by Donut King on Nov 30, 2008 2:52 PM CST reply actions
Kovalchuk was mentioned a couple times. he just didn’t do anything worthwhile. he does leads all Atlanta forwards in ice time so far this game

So if Big Wallet gets 1000, no one will ever see it unless they were there. Way to go, NHL/Blues/Thrashers.

he just got a point last game, he’s good for like a week and a half.

Sorry for my absence there. The Christmas tree stand broke and the tree fell over, had to help clean up. Hopefully I didn’t miss anything. (NATCH!)
Milo: if they go with virtually the same as the new women’s team, it might be “St. Louis Athletico”. Cooper owns a part of that, too. I’m kinda hoping for something like “Spirit of St. Louis” though.
by Donut King on Nov 30, 2008 3:15 PM CST reply actions
DK — Please, No. That would make all of us fans “Athletico Supporters”.

Dooks — We started out with the Atlanta Flames / Chicago Fire (MLS), then started talking about the name of new MLS franchise likely to come to St. Louis (Collinsville), then I suggested that Collinsville High School students/alumni (Kahoks) were pussies. DK then registered an objection.
I think that brings us up to date.

ooo, I’m watching the video feed of the Dallas/Edmonton game now. (I need a shutout from Turco for my fantasy team) and they showed the replay of Visnovsky going headfirst into the boards from the game here yesterday. pretty nasty. he’s back in the lineup tonight

Congrats to Big Walt! I guess they put it on the board or something this time so they didn’t boo like the columbus Blow Jobs last year. Goalie thing’s pretty crazy, huh?
by Nancy's Boy on Nov 30, 2008 5:50 PM CST reply actions
uh Nancyboy he also played for the Thrashers and was loved there. Personally I’m still holding my congrats when he starts showing me he’s earned being like the fourth most paid player in league history. That’s total money that’s come his way from contracts. And yet not one single Cup on his resume. Not once has he broken a 100 points in a season.
Sorry I’d have probably booed him if it were at home.
Nice win!!!!!!!!!

I’m wondering…do we now have a goaltending controversy on our hands? Or is it pretty solid Mason has stolen the starter title?
by Chris D. on Nov 30, 2008 6:14 PM CST reply actions
lets just call it a platoon situation and leave it at that, about 40 games a season is just the right number for each of them anyway to avoid injury / loss of confidence.
by bzgea2 on Nov 30, 2008 6:35 PM CST reply actions
I know he played there, and with their tremendous fan base, is it really bad for me to assume that they werent following him so closely as to know his current career point total? I also know he’s been overpaid and hasn’t touched the Grail, but very few Americans have accomplished what he has. What exactly did I do to spur the hostility, sir?
by Nancy's Boy on Nov 30, 2008 7:02 PM CST reply actions
not a controversy, a hot hand. mason was dreadful for most of the seaon, he could be again. legace was all-star form last season, he could be again.
dra-cola really seems (although this wsa not on the telly obviously so i m going by what i saw sat and almost nothing today) to be the kind of d man we need. one who thinks the opposing net is a place he should hang out occasionally. even with some of the “young” offensive d men we got (included ej last season) their offense was skating, occasionally looking to pass, and a shoot from the blue line.
i hope cola can play enough d to keep his job as the 4th forward on the ice. we all know how andy murray can get ith young uns who make a lapse on d. they see the press box for 60 minutes. vet d-men who do that get 4 million and 35 minutes a night

Sorry I missed the fun gentlemen…had to work tonight.
BLUES WIN!
TKHUCKCKCK got his 1000th point and Thrashers looked even more ridiculous than usual in their cutesy third jerseys. A good night in my book. See you all on Wednesday.
FUCK DETROIT!

Hey – thanks for the shout out on the main page… I’ll post something tomorrow during my planning period (ugh – work again… stupid week off makes me wish that I would just hurry up and win the lotto already) about the game. All in all, really enjoyable game and a very, very class move by the Thrashers announcing Walt’s 1000th point… I guess it’s because they still wax poetic about him when he was down here for all of 2 weeks and 4 craptastic playoff games.
47 SOG. God bless Pavelec. I don’t know what evil that kid did to deserve the absolute shit defense in front of him, but it had to have been something awful, like killing a baby goat for a sacrifice, or designing those horrible 3rd jerseys.
Why did Steen start on the 1st line? I noticed that lasted like, what, a shift? He’s a 3rd liner (at least that’s my educated guess after the whopping one game I’ve seen him in live), but considering all the injuries we have, I’m not going to hope for more.
Good call, marketing department. Way to schedule a Code Red night when the Blues were in Blueland. Appropriate, since it really was Blueland – we rolled the Thrashers, and I was front row on the glass for it. Heh.
FWIW, I am a Thrash fan since I’ve been trapped down here for too damned long and they’re all that we have, and when they’re good they’re really fun to watch, but I am getting sick of the Futility on Ice. Tonight was the best time I’ve had at a game since opening night, and I was rooting for the opposing team. Fargin’ sad.

47 SOG is something that’s usually reserved for the Blues opposition. hildymac, your boys’ D should feel ashamed.
And I’m pretty sure Steen is on the top line because the Blues are trying to justify trading away ANOTHER top liner FOR him. Honestly, I think he’ll end up being a top liner for someone (if not the Note), but right now he certainly is NOT one.
And on other notes . . . my fantasy football team is getting an ass-raping, while my beloved Denver Broncos went to Jersey and went all Brick City on the Jets. The AFC West sucks, but so does Brett Favre.
Back to hockey . . . . SOMEHOW, the Blues are still in the playoff picture. However, if they make it . . . it will be considered some kind of small miracle.
Fuck Detroit.

Apparently the Thrashers’ D is just old and broken… our 39 year old wunderkind is out with a “upper body injury” that Coach Anderson said was a “groin pull.” The way that Schneider’s been playing, that evens out, since his ass is where his head is so the groin’s gotta be up there too. Upshot here is that Valibik’ll be in to pound people into the ground. Downside is that Tuesday’s game against the Habs’ll only be televised in French on RDS. I hate living down here. I don’t think the lack of coverage is because the Thrash suck (even though that’s part of it). The year that we won the division title there was NO coverage, and the year after there was probably even less. After last season, I’m shocked that the newspaper down here even prints the score on page F13.
Thank GOD I’ve found the Blues games streaming on-line.
I think you’re right about Steen… gotta make people feel better about the trade. It was like when we dumped Hossa for 2 3rd liners (one of which has been benched for 2 games), a prospect, and a draft pick that we screwed up. Well, ok, it’s not AS bad as that but it still sucks.
If we keep overcoming adversity until people get healthy, I can see us at least 3rd in the Central – since apparently the other divisions blow harder than ours, we might be able to sneak in and I’ll actually have a legit excuse to watch the playoffs this year.
by hildymac on Dec 1, 2008 8:54 AM CST reply actions
nah, it is all about the shortage. if steen is on the top line we got, kinda, two scoring lines, if you pop steen second or third, we really got one scoring line.
