PrintMaybe we should have looked around the Central Division before bitching about the introduction of the Blues mascot last season. I'd much rather have a pantsless bear than whatever the hell this thing is:
Yeah, right back at you, buddy!
St. Louis welcomes Columbus tonight. The BJs have won four in a row. The Blues have not. Expect Emmanuel Legace back in net after Chris Mason took the loss last night in Carolina. Steve Mason (no relation, but we didn't research it, so I could be wrong) allowed his first goal in four games last night, but still got the 6-1 win for the BJs in Colorado.
It's two divisional teams, each seeming to be headed in different directions at the moment. And no, I can't get fired up for a Columbus matchup either.
Regardless, the comments are wide, virgin territory for you to tear up tonight. Make us proud.

word is, STEVE Mason is expected to play every game for this road trip Columbus is on.
and CHRIS Mason will be watching from the bench tonight.
and I doubt they’re related. Chris is from Alberta, and Steve is from Ontario.
funny thing about Chris I saw when I was looking that up, the draft pick we traded to Nashville to get him, we got from the Rangers….well turns out Nashville traded that pick BACK to the Rangers, which they used to select RW Dale Weise.
fuuny thing about this very post:
I somewhat look like the Blues’ Mason, and my two best friends are named Steve and Chris
I wonder if it’s a coincidence that Columbus all of a sudden has decent goaltending since they got rid of Rick Wamsley as their goaltending coach, and hired Clint Malarchuk?
I like Wamsley, and appreciate all he’s done for the Blues as a player and a coach, but…

That's what I've been saying for a while bro..
I don’t think it’s any coincidence. he didn’t touch Mason and the other two netminders they had were considered highly talented and both have struggled and both were coached by Wamsley. He spends more time working with the players than netminders at the practices i have observed.

I have my beer, whiskey, popcorn, and crappy GameCenter free (!) feed ready to go.
Not that the feed matters, because I usually watch a bootlegged one, but whatever. Anywho, I’m thinking I need to go in all doom and gloom to this one, because that’s how I was at the Thrashers game last night, and they pulled a win out of their ass. I swear, if Vancouver had more than freaking one scoring line they’d be lethal. I’m understanding why they picked up Sundin.
Anywho, what was the last game that LeSmurf played for CBJ? It seems like a while. He has worse stats this year than a lot of backups.

I'm late, because . . .
I’m too busy wishing DEATH upon Philip Rivers. I don’t particularly hate the Chargers, but I really fucking hate that douchehat of an assbag, especially after the dismantling his squad gave to my Broncos last week, causing the needless firing of our coach. No way I’m switching away from that game.
With that in mind, has a web stream been posted?

i have yet to see him play well … was at the ducks game sunday and he was barely on the ice. why have a dman who is only gonna play 10-12 mins?
I was talking with an associate at work about hockey and he asked if the Stastny on our team was related to Peter. I said “yeah, and he has a brother who’s much better on Colorado. Peter was a hellava hockey player. he had two sons: one of them inherited his skill and the other got his grit”
Fucking shit ass douchetard.

Maybe we should put a poll up. How many goals scored in THIS one? Looks like it’s gonna be a monkey-a-fire.

Chris, I don’t disagree at all with your basic premise, and I fully agree that something needs to be done organizationally in order to get and keep these kids here.
It’s going to be awfully hard for the Blues to attract and keep Europeans in North America when they’ve gone on record in the media as saying that they basically feel a kid needs to play three years in Peoria before he even gets a sniff of the NHL… unless, of course, he’s a checker with some connection to Andy Murray (i.e. Chris Porter).
Now, your GTPD loves him some Chris Porter, but I fully agree that the Blues need to bring up scorers from the minors when they have scorers on the IR. Winchester, to his credit, has six goals in 11 games, and that’s good, if unexpected… but Steve Regier is the only scorer brought up from Peoria this year.
Lemtyugov could have easily gotten a shot, and so could Julian Talbot. No one expects these guys to be ready to stick full-time at this point, but really, what would it hurt to give them the call and a cup of coffee, so they can see first-hand what they have to do to actually be ready, and so that the team can evaluate them against NHL talent?
You don’t stop drafting Euros because of this, but the organizational philosophy needs to change, because no European kid worth a shit is going to come over here knowng he’ll be riding the bus in Peoria for three years, when he can stay at home with no language barrier and make much better money than the $60K he’ll make in Peoria.
Maybe it’s Peoria itself that’s the issue? It’s a nice enough place, but the idea of being sent to Peoria probably doesn;t exactly fill guys with anticiation. Maybe moving the AHL franchise to the Family Arena, or Kansas City (bring back the Kansas City Blues), would be the answer?

Elsewhere...
Peoria trails Milwaukee 1-0 in the third.
Holt in goal again for the Rivermen, as Bishop is home puking his guts out with the flu. Former Blues’ draftee (276th overall in 1994) Scott Fankhouser was signed from the Bloomington Prairie Thunder (IHL) as the emergency backup.
I the Rivermen can ties this game at 1, and send it into OT, and then pull out a win after three minutes of OT, Holt will have enough minutes played to get into the AHL’s GAA and save percentage leaders.

don't get me wrong
But as pumped as this game is naking me, it’s really bringing back the ‘what-ifs’ and ‘if-onlys.’ as in, what if the power play/penalty kill continued to be even half of what it was in the first 1/5th of the season. Hope springs eternal though! Hell, we’re not even half way through the season.
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
this team is good. without some of the injuries and some goaltending they'd be great

Fuck the duck...
…Milwaukee gets an ENG to win, 2-0.
Holt stops 30 of 31 shots against in 58:42… he’s like three minutes short of being eligible for the AHL’s leading goaltenders list (needs 660 minutes played).
Still in all, Holt has a 6-5-0 record, 1.73 GAA and 92.9% save percenage, by far the best GAA and save percentage of any goalie in the oreganization.

I love what Manny’s done for the Blues over the last season-and-a-half, but if Holt can get the job done, and it’s what’s best for the franchise in the long run, then Manny needs to take a few games off and let the kid play.
