Yeah, yeah, yeah… I’ll fix it.
Sorry, I’ve got my mind on other stuff right now… like having to go buy a car tomorrow because the block’s cracked on my poor li’l truck.

wasn’t it you Brian that was recommending a car dealer awhile back? you’ll find a nice vehicle!

I didn’t think they sold cars in that part of Illinois, Brian. I think pick-ups and tractors are all.

Sounds like Brian is having problems with his Otto … har har har
I’m apprehensive about the game tonight. A B2B after an emotional loss could be tough for our young’ns to focus on. I hope I’m wrong …

I don’t know about the rest of you, but Ray Bennett reminds me of a junior senator from West Canuckistan or something… he’s about the most unlikely-looking hockey coach I’ve ever seen.

Speaking of Kings . . . I’m here. No need to cheer. (seriously.)
Weed: Sucks about your ride, dude. Enjoy your search . . . or something like that. Hopefully Blago isn’t selling it to you.
Manny out a week, eh? Again, this is exactly why we picked up Mason. Hopefully he shows his worth . . . again.

Ray Bennett looks like he should be a member of the Barenaked Ladies.

Philly over Carolina, 6-5
Pitt over Islanders, 9-2
I’m glad the league is looking into the problems of the lack of scoring ….

hasn’t Crombeen earned a spot on the 2nd line yet? why Winchester?

why break up him steen and mcclement, that line is actually doing something.

I have half a mind to text A for the Sharks just to make sure Detroit doesn’t get the nod.

Dooks: Maybe they’re trying not to mess with something that’s working. That’s my best guess.

So anyhoo… while Bishop’s up with the big club, the Rivermen recalled Schwarz from Alaska and are giving Chris Holt a shot.
He’s making the most of it; Holt got the start on the road tonight in Hamilton, and sent the Bulldogs packing 2-1.
Hamilton went into tonight’s game 15-8-2-0, and Peoria was 14-10-1-0 before tonight.
In three games with Peoria this year, Holt is 3-0-0 with a sparkling 1.67 GAA and 0.931 save percentage.
Schwarz had better come up huge in his next start if he wants to stay in the picture…

so I didn’t see, with Pat Parris out for an undisclosed injury (the new injury rule applies to hockey broadcast talent too, right?), will they introduce the new hit intermission segment “Cat-Tricks” only rather than actually covering hockey, instead showing clips of Mario Lopez’ hit Animal Planet show “Pet Star Search?”

How can they sit Janssen and dress Winchester?
And too many men on the ice is about the laziest, dumbest, not smarter penalty you can take.

I hope he leaves it like that, DJ. “I NEED NO MARKINGS!!!!!”
by Donut King on Dec 11, 2008 9:49 PM CST reply actions
I’m thinking he probably hasn’t yet, just because what would he put on it since he splits time between StL and Peoria…unless he wanted to work a Two-Face theme, and have half of it Blues-related and half Rivermen-related.
by Dan on Dec 11, 2008 9:50 PM CST reply actions
At least they could go up to the bluenote store and buy something like the $3 sticker sheet… and put a couple things on it…

His other option is to go all Glen Hall on us . . . .
“FUCK IT! I DON’T NEED A MASK!!!!!”
by Donut King on Dec 11, 2008 9:51 PM CST reply actions
I think Bishop ought to get a picture of the Houses of Parliament, and Big Ben, painted on his mask.
Sorry, but I think that’d look awesome.
When I was a kid, I wanted to get a mask with Doctor Doom’s mask and cowl painted on it, but all they had for kids with glasses was the old 1991-style Curtis Joseph cage…

well, i’m sure he didn’t mean it, so i don’t know why they’d call that …

If anything else, Bishop could say his current lid is in the style of the masks used for the white team in the hockey scenes in “Strange Brew”.
“Use the Force, eh? Join the Dark Side, ya knob!”
“He’s seen Return of the Jedi, like, 17 times, eh!”

Yeah, Tim, but then Bob Epicfail would have to play himself out of the league.

Is it just me or does the ice look like shit tonight?
by Pagan on Dec 11, 2008 10:02 PM CST reply actions
let me be more specific….. 5 forwards NOT including Janssen, Paddock (paddick, padlock, however its spelled), Hinote, etc.
by DJ (djm448) on Dec 11, 2008 10:04 PM CST reply actions
true …. he signed with Florida last year, didn’t he?

The ice always looks like shit in warm cities.

Maybe Marcus fell asleep, it’s so late (or early) over there
by Donut King on Dec 11, 2008 10:08 PM CST reply actions
I really am beginning to think that our power play might be getting fancy-pants syndrome. Seam passes are fine when the PKers are stretched, but the Blues are trying it too often.
And cycling the puck is all well and good, but cycling players can cause more trouble than its worth. If Perron is manning the point he should man the point and pass/shoot rather than taking the puck down to the corner himself. It just causes confusion.
Put it this way…watching Kariya and Boyes pass between eachother ten times before cracking a one-timer may be comically predictable, but you were getting solid shots on the net with better rebound chances.
by TheDuke32 on Dec 11, 2008 10:08 PM CST reply actions
i dont see how the ice doesnt break when they have other events going on… like NBA and concerts. You’d think the weight would affect it.

It’s only 10 p.m. in Collinsville and I’m on my second red BUll. You needs some toro juice, Marcus.

I think I’ll just stick to coffee. Lotsa cream, lotsa sugar.
Oh, and I think I know the reason BJ’s been so good lately. One word: Enzyte.
by Marcus Pettersson on Dec 11, 2008 10:12 PM CST reply actions
But his name is Brandon, not Bob.
Or do you get the Enzyte commercials with Bob over there, Marcus?
by Donut King on Dec 11, 2008 10:14 PM CST reply actions
Donut, we don’t have Enzyte over here… at least not that I’ve noticed … cough.
I’ve only seen those commercial while streaming Blues games on the net.

was that really Boarding? with the power of DVR, it didn’t seem like it to me. If the player doesn’t hit the boards, is it really boarding?
That sounds so Zen …

Had no clue up to now that Teej was a fellow (very partial) Native American.
The Teej is awesome. Now GET HEALTHY, DAMNIT!!!!!

Looked like boarding to me, Tim. And if it looks like a pig and walks like a pig, it’s a pig, I guess.
By the way, what is the sound of one hand clapping?

hall plante fuck Taveres. I’ll take the huge Swede or the fucking American sniper on the USDT. ask Brian about him he knows who I’m talking about. Remember I said Stamkos was over-rated because the Canadians didn’t want to see another American picked number one over all. I’d say I’m right.

14Gs 62PiM in 17 games last i checked will try to find that now. I’m not big on PIMs mind you but he’s supposed to be a pure sniper with good size and speed. the Blues need a pure sniper imo. Or a fucking huge defenseman with skill. Taveres gets better but his skating is not the greatest at all. He’s not quite the bull shit hype of stamkos, he’s better but I guess my gut says no. An instance of my gut was I had Perron on my pre-draft draft to see how’d I do compared to the scouts and other teams. I didn’t do that bad but not that great. I had Perron way higher than he went that year.
