It's Game Time: Blues v Flames GDT

OK, you magnificent bastards, as with all of the home games, most of the GT Staff is down at the DrinkScotch drinking, well, not scotch, but you get the idea.
So this will be the GDT for those of you who'd rather be warm or rather not spend $22 for a beer to get together with the other homers and curse urge on your Blues.
Dion Phaneuf and the Flames come to St. Louis tonight.
As for the matchup, both teams have lost three straight, which has allowed Vancouver to slip past Cal & Gary into first place in the Northwest. As we've mentioned before, for the casual Flames watcher they seem to be a bit of a three-man show, with Jarome Iginla leading the way offensively, Dion Phaneuf leading the way in winning Frankenstein's monster lookalike contests and Miikka Kiprusoff playing the role of the latest Goalie Who's Spirit Has Been Crushed By Mike Keenan (TM).
If the Blues, who still will not have the services of TJ Oshie, Paul Kariya or Andy McCrackankle, are to knock off the Flames, they'll need to shut down Iginla and Phaneuf and force the rest of that lineup to beat them.
Calgary is the seventh most penalized team in the league, averaging over 16 PIM per game, which is good news for the Blues' sixth-ranked power play unit (clicking on a 23%)
For those of you who like that sort of thing, Yahoo has an unbiased pre-game report. For those of you who don't like that sort of thing, hang out here for one of the most biased game day threads in the business.
The comments are yours. Let's Go Blues!

The New Look
I’ll lift a brew in honor of the new look. I’ll be joining the rest of the crew at DrinkScotch, so I shant linger here for long. I need to find some grub and walk the dog before I head out. Looking forward to some serious power play action from the Blues tonight.
Smell ya later Blues Fans
Oooh Look! A Picture!
Changes
Well, I expected changes, but the new look has me feeling a little bit like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GIp0PmicaM Overall, not bad though. I think I’ll get used to it.
Oh, and to the asshat Celtics fan that had already registred my totally amazing and unique SLGT handle “Dan” …you can Fuck Detroit.
I am so torn. I want to watch the Blues game but Answer Mom and I both placed money on The Biggest Loser Finale tonight. As with any time I watch TV with Answer Mom, she rocks the remote (when I was an Answer Boy, I was the remote) so hopefully she is feeling generous and will let me watch a bit of the game during the “recap” sections of tonight’s show. I put a short $50 on Michelle to win it tonight.
I am not going to participate in the “F” Detroit stuff. I will say “Intercourse The Wild” instead. I really really hate that team
Thrillin' Booties and Punchin' Faces.
So . . .
I guess this is everyone’s first opportunity to show the SB Nation world (about five people tonight, probably) how . . . WE roll.
I’m still bitter about 1986, even though I was a toddler back then and probably had no rudimentary idea of what the concept or meaning of hockey was.
Unlike Answer Man, I’m not holding back . . . Fuck Detroit. And Chicago.

One thing about the new format I like: user names under each post smaller than before. Now I (hopefully) won’t be thinking “Hmmm, a donut run sounds like a good idea” for some reason after scrolling past 300 comments (when Donut King is active in the comments).
Yeah, I get a little blabbermouthed during games. It’s the booze talking.
You will still get the urge to go on a donut run. Especially with my beautiful Krispy Kreme Doughnuts avatar! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED!!!!!

when we’ve brought over past communities to SB Nation and folks couldn’t get their old name, they dropped it into their sig line for awhile until everyone got up-to-speed

some cool gamethread features
hey, I’m one of the tech guys at SB Nation and since y’all already have epic gamethreads here, I thought I’d drop in and just give y’all a heads up about some nice options we have in these auto-updating comments. it’s all about the shortcut keys. you can find these instructions up at the top of every comment section for a reminder, but I want to call them out:
Press C to tab through new comments
Shift-C to tab backwards
X to mark a comment as read
Shift-A to mark all read
Z will simultaneously mark and tab forward (this is the best one – it’s ridiculously addictive – you gotta try it RIGHT NOW)
R will reply to the comment that has focus
a comment has a yellow background if it’s new – it will be white if you’ve already read it
that’s all. sorry for the interruption to yer gamethread. carry on. and always feel free to contact me if you run into any problems or questions – you can click the website link on my profile page to send me a message.

They should get rid of the tie down straps as well. it is not as if they do not work them off during a fight anyway.
problem is, you get a misconduct if you don’t have the jersey tied down at any point while you’re on the ice.

Doesn’t matter, though… it’s like the idiots who point to a single day like today and claim there’s no such thing as global warming, and this is proof.
Just ‘cause Winchgester and Paddock can pop the odd goal doesn’t make them part of the long-term (or even the short-term) plan.

That one, I don’t understand. Maybe the system goes haywire if too many people are trying to edit their shit at the same time. (I think game threads crashed things up a bit way back in SBN version 1). But the reply feature helps a bit.

The No. 1 worst Keenan move was the trade of No. 2 draft pick (37 overall, I think) for Yuri Khymlev who was benched for playoffs a month later, played only six games for Blues.
Ah, yes… Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre (aka Johnny Big Rock), and draft picks that Buffalo turned into Cory Sarich and Maxim Afinogenov, for Khmylev and a pick that the Blues spent on wunderkind Andrej Podkonicky…

If there's one thing you can say for Khymlev...
…he was freaking stellar in NHL ‘90-whatever (’96?) on the Sega Genesis. Many were the times I would rise his ass to a victory, accumulating hat tricks or more with The Great Yuri.
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

Now Lemy’s gone as well!!!! fuck fuck fuck.
anyway I’ve decided to cut back on my hockey addiction. After the recent signings by the Yankees I have decided that there is too much money wasted in pro sports and this is very unecessary. The owners don’t need to make so much money they can throw it away like this. Then I though about it and even some NHL contracts are getting to comparable to MLB contracts and this is just beyond sickening!!!
