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!

So 6th-ranked PP is pretty good, right? Last game it was 5th-ranked. And not too long ago it was 3rd. And 2nd.
I hope I’m wrong, but don’t expect much to happen on the PP tonight.

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

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.

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

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.

sig line good for reminding people of yer old name
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
you can edit your sig by clicking your name up at the top in the network bar, then clicking ‘edit profile’ over on the top right

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.

Um, and the Pronger/Shanny deal is one of them? Really? I mean … how many times did he bring nothing, and that’s in their top three?

Trading Shag-A-Hag for Pronger was hardly the thrid-worst move Adolf ever made as GM of the Blues…
I’d call drafting Marty Reasoner ahead of Marco Sturm or Daniel Briere a hell of a lot worse move than trading for Pronger.

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.
by HallPlante on Dec 16, 2008 9:29 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
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.

It was not Keenan’s decision not to re-sign Gretzky. The Great One decided not to sign with the Blues. Because Keenan pissed off Gretzky.

Trading Shanny was a bad move. But not THAT bad because of Pronger.

CuJo was traded for a couple draft picks but that was part of convoluted deal that brought Shayne Corson to St. Louis. So it was a bad deal, but not THAT bad. What sucked was that Keenan never had a Plan B to find a replacement goalie for CuJo.
