Blues At Wild Things Second Period

Blues are getting outshot. What's new?
Chris Mason is playing like a No. 1 goaltender. What's new?
Scorless after one period in Minnesota. What's new?
We'll be back when the puck is dropped.
20:00 And we're back.
18:00 TJ Oshie in the broadcast booth. "You're looking pretty good, young man." Whoa John Kelly. Take a step back.
17:46 Blues on the power play.
"I've never sat out a game before because of injury." Fragile Jay thinks that's insane.
16:48 Now it's nice that they bring the player up to the booth, but I'd like to hear some better material. Talk smack, talk about Iceberg being messy around the house or smelling like herring. Something, man. Give me something to chew on.
15:58 St. Louis penalty, Frankensteen for prostitution.
Still no score. Still not a lot of exciting action. Damn you Wild.
15:00 What the hell is going on in Carolina? They fire their coach. Ok, fine. And then hire the guy they fired to hire that guy? Mike Kitchen thinks that's insane.
14:50 I think the Wild miss the Blues' sloppy seconds in the form of Pavol Demitra.
I hope I don't get suspended.
13:30 Every save Mason makes, I think you can hear Legace's sphincters tighten another milimeter or two.
13:25 At least on this odd-man rush for the Iceberg and Boyes they got the shot off. Bergie is obviously a better passer. If it hadn't bounced around, Boyes would have had a better chance.
I miss the CasinoPresident's Queen commercial where the guy guarnatees I'm going to have a good time. I don't know why. (Dooks pays more attention than I do)
11:25 "Already six shots on goal to four in the first period." Kelly, that's still not very good.
Welcome new commenter Rob STP. I think he likes those pricks dressed in red. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
They're playing Sammy Hagar? I thought St. Louis was the only town that liked him.
9:50 I think Kelly just called out a name that was Cal Butterfuck. Or I need my hearing checked.
They just showed the Blues invitees to the World Juniors camps. I bet the Prospect Department just got excited.
9:43 Belanger puts a backhander past Mason's elbow. He put it top right corner. Not much room to shoot there. Good aim. 1-0 Minnesota.
9:00 E-Cola with the diving save to stop the breakaway. Nice.
And if a guy only has 100 goals in his career, do you really need to call that out on the PA?
8:13 Blues doing a lot of standing around in their own end. Not a good sign. Scrum in front of Mason dangerous.
7:30 Three rushes into the Blues' zone in two minutes. Wild feeling it right now. Blues hoping to weather this storm at the moment.
5:46 If this was a basketball game, Murray would be calling a timeout to stop the Minnesota momentum. They're getting to all the pucks, keeping it in the zone.
Scrum in front, Mason pushed a Wild forward. Pluck is what that is.
The camerman in the corner in the stands keeps showing the only Blues fan he can find, this one lonely girl.
4:20 Brewer just pushed a guy out of the crease. The enthusiasm is catching. Like ghonorea.
Ok, that was gross.
And they finally found a better looking girl in a Blues sweater. I think the TV producer is reading the live blog.
3:00 Minnesota as a hockey town just lost stature in my book by playing that fucking, "Dayyyyy-oh" shit. Do they do the "Everybody clap your hands!" crap too?
1:00 Still 1-0 Wild.
END OF PERIOD.
One of our lovely commenters mentioned not seeing Tkachuk for awhile. I agree. Anyone notice him?
Keep it going, you motherpuckers. We'll have third period up shortly with interesting art.

Tim-Re: TB-Philly . . . yes, I saw it. The Philly dude who threw the glove out there on the TB breakaway should’ve been ejected for Unsportsmanlike Conduct, General Dumbfuckery.

that’s it … General Dumbfuckery sounds like a good call, but I’d hate to see the ref’s signal for that call.
by Tim on Dec 3, 2008 7:54 PM CST reply actions
That guy wins. Next time just stab the guy with your skate as he goes by.
by IrishBlue on Dec 3, 2008 7:55 PM CST reply actions
It’s an open book, Tim. Maybe such a call would make Cary Fraser spasm uncontrollably and die. Then we’re all winners.
by Donut King on Dec 3, 2008 7:55 PM CST reply actions
it should at least be 2 minutes AND a penalty shot. I’ve always hated that rule, that what would be a normal penalty is given up.
by Dave S on Dec 3, 2008 7:57 PM CST reply actions
good job, distract your own goalie with another object coming at him more than the guy you’re chasing
by Dooks on Dec 3, 2008 7:57 PM CST reply actions
But Dave, that would make sense. So why would they let it be like that? This is the NHL we’re talking about here . . .
by Donut King on Dec 3, 2008 7:58 PM CST reply actions
it seems that the Blues have been stronger on the boards, that bodes well.

what do the signs that the people in the crowd are holding say? They look similar to the “GOAL” ones they passed out a couple of weeks ago in St. Louis

we were lucky that pad-save rebound came to a Blues stick
by Tim on Dec 3, 2008 8:06 PM CST reply actions
THAT time they got a shot on goal. And another FUCK of a save.
by Donut King on Dec 3, 2008 8:07 PM CST reply actions
Haha, Kelly just said “Backstrom got over and made the save!” but it sure sounded like he said “Bastard got over and made the save!”
by Dan on Dec 3, 2008 8:07 PM CST reply actions
Hey, CD, how’ve we looked heard in my truck shots were like 12-4? That doesn’t sound so good, but looked ok so far in 2nd.
by Nancy's Boy on Dec 3, 2008 8:08 PM CST reply actions
wow … backstrom made back to back saves, with no shots in between. That’s talent!!!

Don’t like Avery but the NHL needs to calm down a bit.
by Dave S on Dec 3, 2008 8:13 PM CST reply actions
halfway through the game and no score? what gives?
oh yeah, it’s Lemaire’s system
by Dooks on Dec 3, 2008 8:13 PM CST reply actions
Seriously guys. Sean Avery IS a dick, but if “Sloppy Seconds” involves Elisha Cuthbert, not a Goddamned one of us is gonna turn it down.
Eh?
by Donut King on Dec 3, 2008 8:13 PM CST reply actions
Exactly, anywhere you can go, someone else has been there. Some1 on HBuzz said Avery’s dating Ralph Lauren’s 50y-o ex…
by Nancy's Boy on Dec 3, 2008 8:15 PM CST reply actions
i don’t know i thought that then i wonder if i think avery’s been here and he’s mentioning sloppy seconds what he might have been hinting at is some sort of disease…you might catch stupidity or something

they don’t Boo in Minnesota …. they just say BoooooGard

or, maybe they just boo … i dunno …
by Tim on Dec 3, 2008 8:15 PM CST reply actions
@Dooks.
Yes. Lemaire loves to kill scoring for both teams on the ice. And no wonder, the guy is like 150 on the NHL all-time scoring list, but he’s around 11 or 12 in plus-minus.
Worked for the Devils I guess. Of course, they didn’t keep him as a coach for long.

by Tim on Dec 3, 2008 8:16 PM CST reply actions
I was wonderin’ the same. Didn’t he also date Rachel Hunter who’s dating some other player now? & heard somewhere Elisha dated other players between Avery & Dion.
by Nancy's Boy on Dec 3, 2008 8:17 PM CST reply actions
Cuthbert gets around the NHL circuit, from what I understand. But I don’t have any details on that.

it’s true nancy’s boy…and commrie’s dating some hot goirl or it was also elisha

Clutterbuck.

Several defensive lapses there, ended ok though w/ that punch.
by Nancy's Boy on Dec 3, 2008 8:23 PM CST reply actions
nice Mason gives one of those fucks a shot. I think we’re doing pretty good considering the Wild have the ire of their coach. who wants to hear a french man yelling…especially if they are french-canadian

I remember last game against the Wild. Clusterfuck tried to start a fight

that announcer on the Rams commercial kept talking like someone said “Yes?”
by djm448 on Dec 3, 2008 8:24 PM CST reply actions
If I were a goaltender, my signature move would be to grab the puck with the glove hand, skate out to the circle and facewash the fucker in someone’s grill.
But that quick jab by Masonry will suffice.

love how all week the rams are huge on the cover of the sports page and the blues are lucky to be on it. nice to know mizzu gets the cover after ben bishop a local boy starts his first game. fucking brilliant
by Chris D. on Dec 3, 2008 8:24 PM CST reply actions
riddle me this…what’s the blues record when neither team scores in the first? I’m sure there is/was a hardcopy gametime stay about it.
Without any research, I assume the blues are heavier in the L-column, but I also can’t recall too many zip-zip first periods.
by TheDuke32 on Dec 3, 2008 8:24 PM CST reply actions
in case anyone is missing the arena experience, or wants to re-create it in their living room …. play this in the background…
by Tim on Dec 3, 2008 8:25 PM CST reply actions
As a Wild fan, I have to say that Clusterfuck is a great nickname for Clutterbuck.

Goddamnit. Sports arenas should quit playing that stupid fuck ass annoying Gwen Stefani song. It’s about 100 times worse than Song 2 by Blur.

@Brian.
Burns has been playing wing for the Wild most of the season. Unfortunate since he is our best defenseman. Somebody has to play for Marian Gaboring.

Perhaps I should be happy?

Will MG ever play for the Wilds again?
I suppose they have to prove he can play again if they’re to move him.

If the Blues didn’t already have sweet entrance music like they do . . . my choice for entrance music would be the intro to “Knights of Cydonia” by Muse.

rob how hard is it to watch a super talented player like pierre-marc bouchard thinking defense completely over offense?
by Chris D. on Dec 3, 2008 8:31 PM CST reply actions
I’m pretty cool with it. If you look at the team on the ice, we have, what, 3 guys that have had 20+ goal seasons in their careers playing? (Fuck you Gaborik) When you don’t have scorers, defensive systems, can at least get wins. It isn’t always exciting, but it teaches you to appreciate a good pokecheck.

Our big martini glass winning team [99-00?] was as dull as paint drying, but got results — until SJ in Rd 1.
by Brian on Dec 3, 2008 8:32 PM CST reply actions
yeah but Rob I hate the clogging of the neautral zone, just makes the game boring as hell. then you start getting a lot of clutching and grabbing and we go back to what we had before the lockout where players with no or little talent are sought more than ones that can actually play the game
by Chris D. on Dec 3, 2008 8:33 PM CST reply actions
Who are these Wilds people keep talking about? Are they like the Notre Dame Fighting Irishes?

Did you guys see that thing on Burns & his animals? And his tatoos & his animals?
by Nancy's Boy on Dec 3, 2008 8:34 PM CST reply actions
Actually, I don’t believe in Bouchard. He has been a point scorer for us, but he gets outmuscled so often that he doesn’t fit in well with a team that relies on defensive play. You watch him coming into the offensive zone. He comes in, then peels off looking for a cross-ice pass. That would work well in a lot of systems, but with us he ends up dumping it in for the line change.
We just signed him to a long-term deal though, and I think Lemaire will retire after this year, so after a couple years, there might be players breaking into the zone for him to pass to.

The intro music I was referencing earlier:

I think this would totally be fucking awesome entrance music.
by Donut King on Dec 3, 2008 8:34 PM CST reply actions
Let me qualify that. He usually peels off, but he recently got called out in the media, so he has been shooting more.

So is it Minnesota’s strategy to lull the other team to sleep with boring play? That’s sure as fuck what they’re doing to me
by Dan on Dec 3, 2008 8:36 PM CST reply actions
It wasn’t hard to see why Pavol Demitra didn’t fit in Jacques Lemaire’s system. He’s too skilled.
Oh, SNAP!

by Brad Lee on Dec 3, 2008 8:38 PM CST reply actions
i believe it was iron mike, during an interview during his blues day that said he once coached a team so bad he wouldnt allow them to skate into the offensive zone.
i guess his team won more than they should have cos of power plays and overtime points and what not, but how many fnas could they have had
and i still like dr-cola, he makes 1000 more offensive plays than breers and 100 less defensive errors. just wish he had more to show for it than an assit

that’s our Jacque !!! Seriously, Minne knew what they were getting when they hired him …
by Tim on Dec 3, 2008 8:38 PM CST reply actions
I hear everyone that says that Wild games are boring. I can’t exactly disagree with it. When I catch games on versus between two scoring teams, I nearly have a heartattack. But they are my team and if a defensive style plays well in a system where fucking Antti Miettinen is a top line player, I have to support it until the GM brings in some real scorers. And I’m not talking Gaborik. Do the Blues want him?

roundtable discussion - Mystery, Alaska…best hockey movie?
Yes, Slap Shot is classic and gets us riled up and ready, but as far as a “hockey movie” (which Slap Shot may not be, necessarily), does Mystery, Alaska take the cake?
by TheDuke32 on Dec 3, 2008 8:40 PM CST reply actions
I love Mystery. Thought about my name being “Skank Marden”
by Nancy's Boy on Dec 3, 2008 8:42 PM CST reply actions
Tim and Childhood Trauma, I agree with both of you there. The Wild hired Lemaire as a brand new expansion team. You aren’t going to get a lot of talent in an expansion draft. They brought him in and the Wild have made it to 3 post-seasons so far compared to the Blue Jackets 0. He was a good pick for coach to start, and his time is almost done.
MN fans support it because there is no way in hell that anyone is going to take NHL hockey away from us again, and the management has managed to post a winning record.
