Blues @ Edmonton Second Period
by Brad Lee on Jan 11, 2009 7:54 PM CST
Email
PrintQuick poll below. Be honest. It's anonymous.
Scoreless after the first period, the Blues are trying to keep their two-game win streak going. And Federko wants you to know the period played EXACTLY how he thought it would. He's said it three times.
More at the drop of the puck.
Kelly, going to commercial as the camera from across the rink pans out showing their broadcast location: "We're high here tonight at Rexall place." Well that explains why Bernie Federko says so much fucked up crap.
19:00 Oh, we're back by the way. The ice is magnificient.
17:34 Berglund with the nice shot. Notice how Perron was strong on the puck as he was checked? He took the hit, kept his balance and got the puck out front. Very good sign.
Do they have hot ice girls in Edmonton?
17:16 STASTNY scores! Nice play from McClement getting the puck on, staying with the rebound and then getting it back to Stastny in the crease.
And Federko about had an aneurysm trying to describe the play. Good thing he didn't have to say Colaiacovo at the same time.
16:00 I think it's funny we have more people from outside St. Louis following along watching on the Internets. The comments act as a spoiler for people seconds behind.
15:25 Blues shorthanded by the way. Spoiler alert: the Blues just cleared the puck.
13:50 The Blues are on the power play again, but you couldn't tell by the offensive chances for Edmonton.
13:15 How are there THREE Oilers players by the Blues' net when they only have four on the ice?
Amazing.
11:12 BRULE SCORES ON A BREAKAWAY. Score now tied 1-1.
"That's just an unfortunate play for the Blues," Federko said. I'd say a poor play. Shitty play.
10:45 The ice looked unbelievable on that goal. Commenter Dominik (check out his Islanders site) was right.
10:22 Iceberg in the box, feeling shame for playing physical.
9:07 The referees just called the weakest hooking penalty in the history of organized hockey. Blues getting the advantage.
8:25 Cogliano is hurt. That makes Federko happy.
7:00 With how this power play looks tonight, they're going 0-fer. Not getting any breaks, not creating good chances. Just isn't clicking.
I hope we didn't lose a lot of readers to the Golden Globes awards on TV. I'm sure lots of our regulars watch them religiously.
5:30 I'm reading comments. Watching the game. Live blogging. E-mailing. Talking to my 3-year-old daughter.
I think I have ADD.
4:30 I think there's a reason why Strachan doesn't shoot the puck much. And we just saw it as he got his shot caught in the skates of an Oilers player.
2:50 Not a lot of good chances for either team lately. Both seem somewhat content to go into the third tied.
No jinx, no jinx, no jinx.
2:05 Brule almost got his second of the game as the above comment was posted.
0:55 John Kelly has a man crush on Sheldon Souray's shot. Not Souray, just his shot. They're bombs.
Another hooking call. Federko says, "Oh boy..." Blues shorthanded. Berglund in the box.
END OF SECOND PERIOD. Game tied 1-1.
INTERMISSION
They just showed highlights of Gretzky scoring 50 goals in 39 games. The goalies look skinny, the leg pads barely bigger than shin pads. Holy crap, what a difference.
And I kind of liked the long pants on the Flyers even though it looks like a rollerhockey interview.

I voted no
not because I don’t like the live blog, but because I just don’t look at it.
Used to be Aaron, but some douchebag Celtics fan has that one already.
With the old format, you had to refresh to see new comments. So that’s why I’m asking. The auto refresh comments makes it different.
I’m torn as well, and I’m the poor schmuck writing the thing.
have you thought about the cover it live style
you know like sn did for the winter classic. that way you could blog, we could comment AND it auto refreshes. the site says its free … i like reading both.
Yeah, tough call. I am inherently lazy (and infrequent), so seeing your comments in the thread is nice.
On the other hand, it’s nice to have the “god voice” up above — particularly when one misses the game or when one is trying to figure out what happened on the ice while thread conversation strayed into the visual similarities of bat wings and testicular flesh. I mean, hypothetically speaking.

It’s more about laziness than anything, at the old site you had to refresh all the time, so it was just natural to look, but with the auto update on the comments I don’t think about it.

But Brad . . .
Is the ice . . . MAGNIFICENT? or . . . DECADENT?

according to the logo at Center Ice ...
the ice is Tri-Decadent ….

Apparently I've missed a goal against...
Don’t have the game on yet; just got done following the Rivermen game on the ’Net.
Bishop choked again. 4-3 Manitoba final. Matt Foy (played for the Wilds last year) finally played for the Rivermen, and picked up an assist.

Yea...
The Oilers announcers are calling that a good call…I say fuck that. Berglund should be able to smash whoever he wants.
I completely agree...
I was just going to post about how f***ing weak this stuff is that they’re calling “hooking” nowadays.

Is this the first live blog since the switch to SBN? I’ve missed it!
And to the six wise-guys who voted ‘nay’ for the live blog — what the hell? Don’t you know that it’s our job to monopolize Brad’s time and effort whenever possible?
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
One of 'em is me...
…and I much prefer the open thread concept.
I don’t like having to switch threads for every period. Much easier to just open one thread and keep it open.

Sorry, I was off making myself a tasty gin and tonic.
While that was the weakest hooking call in the history of hooking calls . . . it’s like if a cop pulls you over for doing 69 in a 65. You ask, “then why did you pull me over?” And s/he says “because you were speeding.” It sucks, it’s fucking stupid, but he’s technically correct.
