Post-Game: Blues Beaten By Turco, Referees
I wasn't on the ice, so I can't say for certain that the referees made a series of bad calls against the Blues tonight, but I can say this: anytime your team is guilty every time the whistle blows, it affects your game. The Blues became less and less likely to play their game as it progressed because every time they hit someone, they went to the box. So that's it, I'm done talking about the referees tonight. Promise.
Some other cheap-seat observations from tonight:
- Those referees were so clearly trying to make the game theirs and to screw the Blues, I thought there might be a riot up in the stands. One of the ladies sitting next to me said she wanted to "go down there and hit that guy in the face with a stick."
- Jeff Woywitka plays the softest game a 6'2, 220 pound man has ever played. I'm glad he's gone and I'm glad that Alex Pietrangelo's first NHL goal deflected in off of him. When he let Cam Janssen try to facewash his grill right off his head and did nothing to stop him, despite the fact that his team was up four goals late in the third period I knew that Blues management was right to let him leave as a free agent this summer. Pussy.
- If you're a referee and you call Steve Ott for taking a cheap-shot on B.J. Crombeen and then Crombeen and Ott fight, how the hell do you then call an instigator penalty on Crombeen? Didn't the cheap shot that you already called instigate the fight? Retards.
- Alex Pietrangelo looked pretty solid again tonight and both he and Erik Johnson showed an offensive penchant by carrying the puck deep to the net when the opprtunity presented itself. It's been a long time since we've seen such a talented defense here and these two could be really, really fun to watch in the coming years.
- When a scrum develops after (guess who?) Steve Ott cheap-shots Carlo Colaiacovo low at the knees well after he's moved the puck, how the shit do you give anyone other than Ott a four-minute double minor? Pietrangelo's four minute call was bullshit and those refs should be ashamed of themselves for failing to pick the right guy to punish in all of that.
- Marty Turco is still a good goalie. He might not be the same guy who used to keep track of the times he was beaten cleanly all season, but he's still a damn good goalie. The Blues got plenty of shots and good-quality chances tonight, but Turco definitely frustrated them all with his play.
- People in Dallas love Steve Ott. They think he's a shit-disturber and a valuable asset for their team. They think he's one of those 'love him on your team, hate him on any other team' kind of guys. They are wrong. I wouldn't want him on my team. It's one thing to run around the rink and hit everyone moving. Tyson Nash did it to perfection, for one. But Nash always hit people clean and he always hit them like a man, when they knew it was coming. Steve Ott is attempting to injure people. Fans in Dallas should be ashamed that he's on their team and sullying their jersey with his stench.
- For the record, tonight's refs were Eric Furlatt and Dave Jackson. By checking the Game Time Ref Stats we see that their combined history in Blues games since 2007 is fairly even: 19 games called, 78 Blues power plays, 82 penalty kills and a combined record of 10-7-2. Tonight their line was 5 Blues power plays (15 penalties against) and 7 penalty kills (11 penalties against Dallas). So, it wasn't just the cal;ls that went against the Blues, it was the power play-negating calls that also went against them.
Wednesday night is the next game, on the road against Carolina. Here's hoping Jackson and Furlatt are busy elsewhere that night.

Fuckers...
and I am sure everyone here knows who the fuck I am referring too…
But I am not going to talk about that anymore tonight…

again.. fuckers…
Mary had a chicken, Tommy had a duck, lets put them on a table to see if they would ... fall off.
we didnt play great
but we got FUCKIN SCREWED!!! Ott is a faggot he deserves a 2 or 3 game suspension not just for the kneeing but the hit on Carlo.. how in the hell was there no original call on the hit.. he went right after his knees.. and crombeen is technically supposed to get a one game suspension now since he got an instigator inside the last 5 mins but they better not hand one down cuz wasnt the kneeing what instigated it? how the fuck does that work.. i couldnt even understand some of the calls tonight.. ridiculous..
now ill be in a bad mood til wednesday.. great.. and we get another set of back to back games.. fuck
If you have a donkey and i have a chicken and youre donkey ate my chickens feet what would you have.... 2 feet of my cock in youre ass!! haha
Bullshit Calls
I was at the game (Section 301) and when the refs called that bullshit giving Crombeen an instigator for defending himself, I couldnt take anymore of the bullshit. The Blues just couldnt get anything working and when then did, they made bad passes or penalties were called. Ott’s the dry jizz at the bottom of a bag of used dicks. But I do agree, Pietrangelo and Eric Johnson looked really good out there. Flashes of brilliance and a look at things to come.

Fuck Ott
GOD DAMN IT!!! FUCK STEVE OTT AND THE REFS. Once we were down 3-0,the only mission the Blues should have had was complete destruction of anyone wearing a white sweater. Fuck playing it clean when this is the way the refs monitor the game. I’m all about a clean game, but if our players can’t be protected by the men paid to do it, it’s on them to make those assholes terrified to play dirty. As far as I’m concerned, the Blues are just as responsabke for letting this game get out of hand as the refs or Ott by rolling over. The only mission anyone should have had was to send one message: YOU DON’T FUCK WITH THE BLUES AND SKATE AWAY UNHARMED! Tkachuk and Crombeen are the exceptions to this…they are the only ones who showed any balls tonight.

K, I've calmed down enough to post rationally
Been awhile since I’ve see a hamstringing from the refs like that. Conk played well enough to keep the game close. The only redeeming thing to watching that terlit bowl plugger was seeing Petro get his 1st time.
Silent J continues to impress. Walt too with his crunching checks and crashing the front of the net.
Kariya, jeez, the burst of speed is nice to watch but as soon as someone gets a bead on him he looks like a deer in the headlights. Someone see if Flury’s heart is available for transplant.
Ott, someone please take that stain out. Cheapshot fucks like him ruin a good game. They turn it chippy with their cowardly acts. Blow up his knee or tomahawk his azz into a hatrack, just get rid of the POS.
Eeej, luv the end to end rushes and blasts from the blueline. Good times cometh from that boy.
Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints
Well damn
I was at the school, working homecoming and had my radio for the 2nd and 3rd period…somehow managed to hear every damn goal….when the blues scored a few students were like…what game are you listening to? crazy night w/ all the kids, but made some good money.
who is crossing the river now?
So who do the Blues bring up now that Oshie, King, Colaiacovo, Steen, Jackman and Brewer are out?
Eller- many say he is still not ready for NHL
Stasney- going strong in Peoria, but that does not mean it will connect here
Armstrong- Played brilliant pre-season, but has not provided much in Peoria
Porter – also playing strong right now in Peoria
They need another d-man. Why not Junland? Is there something going on with his play in the defensive end? time to let some more of the kids grow up.
by The Goalie Guy on Oct 25, 2009 2:40 AM CDT up reply actions
well gotta call up someone
if carlo, dj, and jax are all still out by wednesday then strachan will dress for carlo and we would probably call up bell or junland
barring what should be a mandatory one game suspension on bj (he shouldnt get it but god knows he prolly will) and if dj is still out then we would probably go to armstrong and Stastny

That’s all I can stand, I can’t stands no more
I’m pissed. They say the NFL is the “No Fun League”, but the NHL is the “No Hockey League”. This pussified shit we are forced to watch these days sickens me. I’m not saying we need a cross between Slapshot and the 197x Flyers, but Buttman and the clown-assed owners have taken protecting pussies like Cyndi Crosby way the fuck too far.
FACT: You cannot defend yourself when some asshole pulls a Marchment and tries to end your career with a knee-to-knee widowmaker. The league needs to review this bullshit and suspend Ott’s ass. This new instigator bullshit needs to end RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!
If the league continues to make this shit turn into figure skating, I’m done. Nothing stops an asshole like Ott better than enforcement via “The Code”. Third man in is the most fucked-up rule I have ever seen. It allows guys to get maimed without anyone being able to do anything about it. Now, with this horseshit way of enforcing an instigator penalty, the guy who is nearly maimed can’t do a fucking thing about it.
Fucking league is the damn problem and the shit rolls downhill to the dickheads in stripes. The refs should call the obvious shit, and the league should suspend the assholes. Let the players police the cheap shit going on during the game.
WHAT
THE
FUCK
?!?
Let's go Blues!!!

Well phrased sir.....
You receive a Rec from me along with my deepest respect
'I would not be bothered if we lost every game as long as we won the league.'
MARK VIDUKA
I could not have said it any better.
Juan, get this man about 100 Schrutebucks, STAT!
One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.
Troll somewhere else
Your either trying to be stupid or just didn’t see the game. Either way go back to your terrible site.
Hilarious.
Check your own site and see how many people were saying, “I don’t see intent there…” on Ott’s attempted knee/trip move. Sounds to me like, “well, it was dirty, but he didn’t try to be dirty….”
And, by the way, you can’t call ‘hip-check’ on the people who cheer for Bobby Plager’s team. We know ’em when we see ’em. We also know when we see a guy trying to get low on a guy. Because, you know, low is where the knees are.
Brad a you fuckin serious
did you not see the game you dumbass.. ott dropped straight down and went after colaiacovo’s knees which if you hit him right can be career ending.. and he clearly sticks his leg out and goes knee to knee on crombeen.. i would call both of those hits intent to injure

I'm almost certain . . .
there was at least one former Stars player who he intended to injure. I won’t name him, but we all know which one it was.
I mean, really? Are you fucking kidding me?! I wish I could watch a hockey game with my head firmly entrenched into my ass too. I don’t do it because the view fucking BLOWS.

Kneeing...
Is a penalty because it causes injuries. Not as bad a slew-footing, but it can easily take 20 games out of a guy’s season. You lead with your knee, you drop ‘em and take what you’ve got coming. How Crombeen got the instigator standing up for himself, I don’t know.
Ott’s hit on Cola was legal but VERY late. Yes. especially nasty? Yes. Petro going after him? You stand up for your own. Ott did it, he knew it was coming, and the double minor wasn’t warranted. One minor? Yes. If you’re a ref, and you’re worried about losing control of the game, then start sending both teams to the box, not one.
Yeah. Its obviously Murray. I mean he didn’t keep the team playing their plan until the hit on Cola right? Seriously. Its not like the guy was a Jack Adams finalist last year or anything right? He didn’t take the team from last in the division to 6th and get them their first play-off berth if FOUR FUCKING YEARS did he? It sickens me how people cheer for him last year after being able to take the team to the playoffs, and now act like he’s the worst thing to happen to hockey.
I must say, its really hard to play a game where you get called for touching someone. Not to mention that worthless waste of oxygen in Ott trying to take out players whenever he can.
Barret Jackman is my hero.
Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun.
I really hope
that Ott gets a suspension and the refs get bitched at that game was fucking terrible.
Petro is hit and headlocked before he has even dropped his stick let alone his gloves and yet he gets the double minor.
I was watching the game last night and after I saw that the ref’s had decided that it was their game I had to kick the game into FF because otherwise I was libel to break my TV. That being said I stopped at each penalty or score just to get more pissed off. I think I yelled at the screen for at least 10 minutes for the BJ hit.
I was so pissed I couldn’t sleep last night, nothing worse than having the ref’s take the game out of your hands.
as bad as the refs were
last place blues used to get that kind of crap, but then they earned it.
the blues deserved to be 1-1 on this homestand. at best. even agains thte wild a quick start and some good work in net could have easily dissappeared as the game wore on and the blues couldnt get the kill until the last minute.
just what is up on not playing 60 minutes?
that extra penlty stuff? yea probably should have been a 2 minute or even up but the blues got a TOO MANY MEN ON THE ICE PENALTY during it. wtf?@? when the last time you see a team get a 2 many men on the ice during a fight? wow
the blues play at top speed and are a talked about nhl contender and we dont get the ref hose.

Never in my 40 sumpin years of watching hockey have I seen a too many men penalty during a fight. I think it’s a first ever call. You gotta give it to those refs last night, they were creative. They’ll probably make the playoff crews and we can watch them turn that into a gaggle.
Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints
As a Stars fan, you can’t call the officiating horrible one-way. The Stars had funky calls/no-calls. For example, when Morrow touched a Blues player, and got called for hooking somehow, oh also when Robidas got cross-checked not just once, but TWICE, yet no call.
Turco had a great night, and the Stars played their game for the most part. All that powerplay time kind of didn’t help us too much, got our first and second line guys tired.
It only got you one goal
and it stopped us from rolling out any offense negating the second period for us since we were on the PK the whole time. You got one or two questionable call/non calls? There were 6 we just had to shake our heads at. That was a rediculous game that I had no problem with till about 5 into the second period when the refs took over.
it was a good game before that point
it was only 1-0 and still a good game then the refs changed the game..

I have been thinking about this since Sat.
Since we can (should) all agree that Ott was trying to take out player during the game on Sat, I can say I am thankful Oshie was out with a fairly minor injury. I hate to see him gone for a couple of weeks, but we all know Ott would have highlighted and singled out Oshie. And Oshie would not have backed down, but Ott was playing dirty and could have really done some damage. (cause Osh seems to play pretty clean)
I am thankful, injuries were fairly minor (well except King and his cursed hands, but that neither here nor there in a conversation about dirty players)
But there is really no clue as to who is playing in 48 hrs, and what our team will look like 9or how they will play)
