Here, let me help:

Four fights + Andrew Raycroft = Six goals

that fighting DOES have a place in the game. I mean, come on, you can’t tell me that it doesn’t when nearly the entire stadium stands and cheers!

It can and DOES change momentum and hockey just isnt hockey without at least a little scuffle.

When it comes to Janssen, he does his job well. And I REALLY like the fact that he’s out there trying to be productive with the puck as well as being the enforcer. I can understand why he may not get as much ice time, especially when we NEED TO SCORE, but you can bet other teams are aware when he’s dressed and on the bench to play.

One of my more favorite hockey quotes “I went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out” That was my first hockey game ever. Old school back when Dallas was still the MN North Stars…saw a game between them & Chicago at the old Chicago stadium. The entire game from warmups to end of overtime was nothing but a bench brawl. Game wound up tied 1-1 but damn was it fun!!

The smothering dump and chase is such a wet blanket to the Blues.

We need to get the same message to MUR that we holler at the local T&A club.

SET THEM FREE BABY!!!

Janssen has learnt WHEN to fight. And more importantly, when NOT to fight. He brings energy and passion.

And with his work over the summer definitely paying off, he’s not a liability out there – he can create turnovers…make the other team a little bit apprehensive and he can draw penalties.

He’d leave his last drop of blood on the ice for the Blues – how can anyone possibly dislike a guy like that?

And i still reckon he’ll get a goal this season…maybe more than one…lol

while cam’s win and arm raise was meet with cheers what did it have to do with the score? blues already won before cam smash hit anything.

it was winchester getting his ass beat as the first fight, and the blues had already won by then too. and didnt start losing after the fight.

the theory, from the WHEN to fight peeps, is you fight to change momentum. so why was cam looking to fight?

blues didn’t need a momentum change at any point during the game.

an embarrased canucks team may have been looking for somehting, but really the main looker in the punch club was cam :)

the theory, from the WHEN to fight peeps, is you fight to change momentum. so why was cam looking to fight?

Sending a message that the Canucks may have pushed us around and intimidated us last May but those days are over. Their azz is now grass and CAM is the lawnmower. He’s our pitbull that we let the chain out when needed.

TJ Oshie -1 (2 assists, 3 sog)
Eric Brewer -1 (0 pts, 0 sog)

Just sayin’

Captain Minus played the most minutes in a 6 to 1 game and still came away with a minus. That is consistency in my book. He was out for the only goal against us, and none of the even strength goals for. The only thing he could have done better is to knock in another own goal for fun.

I would still trade Brewer for a 10 year old jock strap if the offer came across my desk.

is what won us that game, it was like watchin a totally different team. They werent looking for 1 of “their plays” that they had worked on in practice. You could see it even-strength & w/ man-advantage, but it really stuck out to me on a PP. Notes were shootin in end they do twice (opposite end from me, btw) and Boyes was around left circle tryn to find a shot & there was 1 time where the BIGSHOT wasnt there so he then looked pass, nothin great there either so With His Head Up like he was still looking for a pass, put a flat shot on net. Didn’t go in, but did produce a rebound & it makes the D (in this case PK) think & react out there. I’m not saying this play is why we won, but it shows they were lookin for what Van was gonna give ‘em & at times when they saw it they’d take advantage & exploit someone & make something happen. They werent just trying to force set plays, they played hockey last night, by reacting.

best game i have ever been to!
