It's about time it's Friday.

Blues news

For anyone who is writing off David Perron or wants to trade him for some old ex-Blue -- the dude has talent. I know this was a charity tournament but uhh 16 goals in 5 games against NHL players is pretty damn good. [Blues]

Maid Marian Hossa signing with the Blackhawks is the gift that keeps on giving. The NHL is looking into the contract to see if it's legit. [Second City Hockey]
Sergei Zubov is going to Russia. [Defending Big D]
Jerry Moyes is challenging Jerry Reinsdorf's bid blah blah blah. Enough with the fucking Coyotes. [TSN]

While I may be skeptical......

Dont trade Perron…….or for that matter anyone on the roster EXCLUDING ERIC BREWER………He may have his ups and downs but Dont splitthe kids up when they may just beginning their rise……I dont want to see another successful exblue………….

The nly prospect Id be willing to part with at this point is Cole since hes going back to school……Im getting the feeling he doesnt want to play for us which is fine……..Trade his ass for another prospect……………

And MAJOR props for the Mitch Hedberg Vid……….Made my morning…..

Just MHO, sir, but methinks you’re reading way too much into Cole’s decision to reurn to school… I don’t recall, but did you have the same “feeling” when Oshie decided to go back for his junior year?

You get one shot in a lifetime to play hockey at perhaps the world’s most famous college… I’d be willing to bet tha there’s not a one of us who wouldn’t rather play another year at Notre Dame than spend a year in Peoria when you’re not even old enough to (legally) drink yet.

I get what youre saying.....

And no I actually didnt get that feeling when the OSHIE went back. He had a realistic shot at winning a NCAA title whereas I dont think the Dame is as good as North Dakota was. Yeah maybe Im looking too deep into it but then Im a Blues fan……..We look deep into EVERYTHING………..

And If had my choice of playing college hockey anywhere for free or getting paid anywhere for playing….I know what Im doing……..hes a first round draft pick so hes not gonna sign for crumbs(yeah I think entry level cash is still better than what I make now)…….make some cash…get some pro experience and get to the big club so we can get rid of Brewers useless ass……..

Well, I wouldn't.

But that’s because I find the nickname “Fighting Irish” to be offensive.

Hee hee hee . . .

Yeah. It’s a more creative way for me to say I hate Notre Dame, I guess.

Don't know anyone who wants Perron traded.

My perception is that Perron is usually talked about as “Most Likely To Be Traded” because he’s been Andy Murray’s whipping boy on more than one occasion, especially as a rookie. Consequently, it seems like the organ-i-zation would rather be rid of him, and that’s why his name seems to come up in every trade rumor.

Personally, I hope that the rumors are overblown. Perron performed better than his fellow kids in the Vancouver series, and I’d like to hope that he’ll wear the Bluenote for a long time.
