Now that's a weekend; Blues beat Penguins in OT

PrintFour points on this weekend will go a long way to pumping up the team's confidence and gaining points towards that playoff berth they seem to actually crave this year. Going 4-0 at home to start the year will have the same effects. So will beating the last two Stanley Cup teams on consecutive nights. So will earning points in six of your first seven games. Okay, now I'm just making unrelated statements. On to my observations, add yours in the comments.
- I love Jaroslav Halak. This is the goalie we have needed for, well, ever. I know that each contest that he goes out and plays like this makes the Montreal Canadiens fans just a little bit crazier, and I think I love that too. What's a Lars Eller anyway? Halak's confident play is winning games and it is leaking into the collective conscious of the skaters. They can be more confident and can take more chances because they know any little mistake isn't going to end up in the back of the net.
- T.J. Oshie is letting everyone know that he wants to be a first line player. Yes, he has the skills to be a great checker and short handed guy, and his excellent forecheck is what created the scoring chance in overtime, but he now has points in six straight games, every one except the home opener. I've always thought he was going to be a great player for this team, but if he turns into a scorer too he could be one of the league greats.
- Alex Pietrangelo apparently flipped a switch somewhere near the end of training camp and he has been excellent ever since. He's playing like a guy who has been in the league for years, not a guy who just played his 25th career NHL game. I wore my new McClement jersey for the first time yesterday and I've been flirting with the idea of getting a Halak t-shirt (even though everyone knows goalies are straight nuts). Now I find myself looking at that No. 27 jersey hanging in the pro shop....
- The tandem of Eric Brewer and Barret Jackman, who still seem to be hated by people who are sitting near me, must be watching the same game as me and yet somehow aren't seeing the same things as me, have been playing very well. As noted in a FanPost earlier today, Brewer has been solid in all three zones. Sure both guys fumble the occasional puck, but name one player out there who doesn't. It's a rubber disk being fired around on ice, everyone fumbles it, Haters. If you're watching these games and being honest with yourself, you have to admit that both players have been good this year. Yes, yes you do.
- Davis Payne is clearly the right man for this job. The team is responding to him and he is clearly using the strengths of his players to build a game plan around their talents. This team is fast and slick with the puck and flexible in their gameplan. It's not unusual to see the entire formation rotate with the puck, even if that means a defender ends up down low and forward winds up on the point. It is fun to watch and it is definitely working.
- And, since according to some of our vocal readers and prolific emailers I'm not nearly negative enough about this team, here is one thing that I was really disappointed in during this game: The Funny Face Cam totally sucked. Fix it Blues!

I love Jaroslav Halak. This is the goalie we have needed for, well, ever.
You and me both. And yes. I agree 1,000%.
The Once and Future King
I still wish they hadn't had to give up Eller to get Halak...
…but I’m awfully glad the Blues have Halak. You’re absolutely right in saying that Halak is the goalie this team has needed since Liut.

The way Lars is getting buried up in Habland...
… they might be willing to trade him back soon. Gotta get Winchester a couple goals so he looks like trade bait.
Palushaj and Schultz aren't doing diddly for the Habs organ-I-zation, either...
I’d be like an Afghan insurgent— Ah-Zheet M’Drurz — if the Blues could somehow get all three of those guys back, and have Halak too…

I also agree about Jackman and Brewer.
Never thought I would ever say those words, esp w/ BrewBot. But I’ve been eating my words for a little while now and I don’t mind a bit.
Ditto on Halak.
And I just loved beating these two teams.

Western Conference people see him play more than once a year.
He’s on TV all the time, which I’d guess youve noticed.
People hate who they hate, you can’t regulate it.
Look I’m not saying you should like the guy. I can understand why Flyers or Caps or Devils fans hate him, we play them all the time. I just don’t understand why so many fans hate him when he’s never really done anything to deserve it. Why hate? I’m trying to figure this out.
Yes of course I’ve noticed he’s quite a popular player with the networks, but that’s not his doing.

It's mostly the media overexposure.

It’s kinda like that. Same thing with Alexander Ovechkin.

I don't really care about him one way or the other, but
I like Mike Richards. Can I like him even though I don’t see him in person but one time a year?
People can form a dislike or a like for a player even if their team doesn’t play them much. That’s just the way it is.
This.
On most nights, I don’t hate very many hockey players. The ones I do despise tend to fall into three categories:
2 (tie) – Blackhawks.
2 (tie) – Red Wings.
1 – Whoever is playing the Blues.
I’ll be just as ambivalent towards Crosby tomorrow as I was yesterday. But today, he stepped on the ice against my team, so fuck him. I’m ecstatic that he did absolutely nothing for my fantasy team tonight. Bitch.

I hate him because hes soft and he dives but the refs give him calls cause hes got a name.
I hate him because he hockey media rides his nuts and ignores my team.
I hate him because Ovie is better but the media(canadian) tries to say LOLOLOL who has the cup? Like that is sapposed to be the deciding factor. I can name certain Redwing players with 4 cups so therefore they are 4 times better?
I hate him and Teows because they are sapposed to be “such great captains” and yet what have they ever done to prove that? Nothing, but were sapposed to just accept that cause they won the cup. (P.S. Halak and Pronger were better than Teows in the playoffs last year)
I hate him because I have an equal amount of things I love and thus need lots of things to hate to bring balance.
He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.
Jay McClement for Selke in 2011. Justice will be served. Penalties will be killed.
1. What player doesn’t dive to get calls at some point? All superstars get some favorable calls in every sport.
2. Is it his fault that the hockey media loves him? Does he ask for that?
3. How is Ovie better? He’s damn good at two things, hitting and shooting a puck. But that’s about it. Sid does everything. And Cups are important, and how many of those Red Wings are 35 and above? Sid is 23.
4. Sid IS a great captain. He makes his team and his linemates better. His work ethic is unbelievable. Same thing with Toews. And what has he proven? Uhh, what order should I name his trophies and accomplishments. I agree on Halak being better than Toews but Sid had 16 goals and 31 points in the playoffs the year we won the Cup.
5. OK then haha

I only want to answer one of these, someone else can take the rest.
1. Hockey players who are men. Diving is for pussies. Be a man and skate through checks and sticks. When they take a legitimate penalty against you, you’ll get the call. Don’t be a soccer player.
I saw at least 2-3 Blues players “diving” in that game in attempt to get a call. One of them succeeded. There’s no way an NHL player goes down that easily when someone touches you a la Orpik on McDonald.
I know what you’re trying to say, and you’re right in an ideal world. But these are professionals and they will do anything in their power to get an advantage over the competition. They HAVE to try and break the rules once in a while. Everyone tries to embellish a call.
Now with Sid, a ton of people have the impression that he’s a whiner or a diver because of how he played in his first season. He is much different now. And if anyone wants to call Sid a pussy, just watch the replay of him going to the net tonight. He got put in a headlock and tackled by Polak. Things like this happen to him every game, you just don’t see it.

Our defense does that to people every game. They like to protect our goalie, they are dicks but I make no excuses I love them for it.
Cups are team accomplishments, Ovie doesn’t have Malkin, Staal, and McFlurry behind him. Unless Sid can single handedly will his team to win then I’m not accepting the point that cups prove anything.
Prove that Toews or Crosby are good captains, where do you draw the basis that they make their teams better and have great work ethic. Everyone that is in the NHL has a good work ethic or they wouldn’t be here. When was the last time they dropped the gloves to protect a teammates, took a guy aside and told him he wasn’t cutting it on the ice, or helped one of the rookies or foreigners get their life started when they first hit the NHL?

great comment

People forget this all too often.
I don’t really care, the Flyers do that too. Nothing theoretically wrong with clearing the paint. But people calling Sid a bitch or a pussy should really just look at how he plays the game first and the kind of abuse he takes from defensemen on a nightly basis.
But the argument that Ovie has nothing behind him is AWFUL. Ovie has Backstrom, Semin, Green, Schultz, etc, and used to have Fedorov. You could even argue that Ovie has had more of a supporting cast than Sid.

There are players with good work ethics and players with unbelievable work ethics. Crosby is the second. This man will not sleep if he thinks there’s a flaw with his game. He couldn’t win faceoffs at the beginning of his career, now he’s one of the best in the game. He passed too much earlier, now he’s a Rocket Richard winner because he decided to work on his shot. He would also be the best defensive forward on the team if it wasn’t for one Jordan Staal.
Why would Sid commonly drop the gloves though? No coach or fellow player wants to see their best in the box for 5 minutes. He teaches everyone on the team just by doing, he never takes a shift off and plays 120% every night, and it’s infectious. I can’t really say that he’s helped rookies individually because he’s still only 23 and one of the youngest on the team.

What basis do you draw the conclusion he has such a great work ethic from? He was a train wreck taking faceoffs and now hes good. Thats sort of something you expect a center to be able to do, hes gotten better but hes still not in the top 10. His scoring has increased and his assists have dropped by an equal amount as well so his passing has suffered as a result of his shooting.
I want everyone on my team to be willing to drop the gloves and stand up for each other. You can’t just say him being on the ice makes people better, it doesn’t work like that. He doesn’t go up to everyone before games and say “Hey everyone, watch me and try to be sidney crosby too!”
He has a reputation for getting frustrated and taking stupid penalties late in games as well. Does he win battles in corners, make hits, backcheck, forecheck, play physical, go to the front of the net, screen, block shots, stick up for his teammates and set a good example for his team on the ice even when their losing? Negative. Your way over rating him. He scores and passes, that’s it.
He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.

That last paragraph made me laugh
That would be a yes to all of those actually, except if by standing up for his teammates you mean “does he fight”, which I rather expect it does. Question for you; do you even watch the games?
Used to be Aaron, but some douchebag Celtics fan has that one already.

He blocked 43 shots last year. Made 63 hits. Had 77 giveaways which was the worst on his team. 43 takeaways. Those are not good stats. The comments about going to the corners and the front of the net were going to lead in to my point that if he does he should expect to get knocked around some, thats what happens.
He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.

43 blocks for a scoring forward is actually damn good. Especially when he isn’t used to kill penalties. That’s more than Ovie, Stamkos, way more than Henrik Sedin, Heatley or Kovalchuk.
He’s not a big hitter.
77 giveaways isn’t fantastic but you also have to realize he’s carrying the puck all the time, giveaways happen. Joe Thornton is regarded as the best passer in the game, he had 88, it just comes with the occupation.
He doesn’t care about his stats like some other players, he cares about what it takes to win, that’s all.
That's like a pumpkin pie right in the face!
His shots blocked is alright for forwards I will give you that but his giveaways are pretty terrible. Though its true that star forwards do give away a lot of pucks he is still 5th in the NHL in giveaways, second among forwards behind Jumbo. Thornton redeems himself with 71 takeaways though. Ovie by comparison has 76 giveaways and 66 takeaways so the swing isn’t nearly as bad.

Not top 10? He won over 1000 faceoffs last season. Nobody else even had over 900.
He battles in the corners every shift. Hits when he has to. Backchecks as well as anybody on the team outside of Staal. Goes to the net constantly. He does everything. I suggest you watch some more of his games before jumping to conclusions.

Yes he took quite a few, the most in the league like you said. The % he won, which is the number that matters was 56% and thats good enough for 11th overall.

He’s not Dave Steckel or Pavelski. OK. But among other scoring centers, he’s extremely good. He’s still improving too.
Getzlaf, Stamkos, Tavares, Backstrom, Kopitar, Eric Staal, and Henrik are all under 50% and they’re all elite centers.
That's like a pumpkin pie right in the face!
Silent Jay McClement is under 50% (barely) and he's a legitimate Selke Trophy candidate.
Sorry, just trying to get some google hits for “mcclement selke”.
Im not saying hes not good at it but his best year was last year at 56% and that was 11th best overall. This year hes got about the same % and thats good enough for 20th but its a small sample size. He might break top 10 this year he might fall back a bit, alot of it depends on how many PP faceoffs he takes. Im not saying hes not a good or even great player but I don’t buy him being the best.
He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.

Also now that im awake and also not drunk and jacked up from a hayride. Crosby was the third worst forward in the league for allowing 5v5 goals against last year. That sort of screams defensive liability, along with the Pens being the playoff team with the most GAA last year(actually the sens beat you by 1 but to call them a playoff team is a joke). His Zone Start stats show if he starts in the neutral zone he has a better chance of ending his shift in the defensive zone than offensive. His awesome faceoff % comes from him taking the most PP faceoffs in the league. In a straight 5v5 faceoff Crosby only has a 54.4% win rate. To put that in perspective, Kyle Wellwood does it at 54.2%.
And the players themselves voted him the biggest crybaby diver, so he has that going for him.

Watch Crosby any night and tell me that he does not interfere ALL the time. I don’t know if it’s his high profile that gives him this referee invincibility, but I promise you he gets away with it all the fucking time. It pisses me off. He puts himself in the way of other players paths way more often than anyone else I see. You might notice it more if he were on a Western Conference team. I shudder at the thought.

people don’t like having things shoved down their throat or forced to believe something. Ever since Sid came into the league, that’s all we hear about. Sid is so good, he’ll give an impotent man a boner. he’ll give the blind their sight. he’ll get you laid.
this dude isn’t on our team, so we’re not going to be all over his nuts like a pitts. fan would. our favorite players and the nhl’s best players just so happen to reside on our team. we’re biased, but most fans are.
is he good? no doubt.
is he the best in the nhl? i say no, some say yes, its certainly debatable.
is he treated unfairly by people who don’t like him? absolutely, but so are a lot of players. even by fans of the team they play for (ya i’m talking to you, brewer haters).

keepinthe hope nailed it......
I dont like but I dont dislike Washington or Pittsburgh but Im sick of having them and Chicago/Detroit shoved down my throat all the time…..Fact is Id rather watch paint dry now than watch any of those teams play unless theyre playing the Blues…..Its a League Office problem…..They saw something good and now theyre pounding it into the ground…….
Things like the Winter Classic….It was a great idea…..but Im a firm believer that EVERY team, yes even the suckass ones, should get a chance to host or play,(southern team hosting just wont work) in one before a teams gets a second shot…but because Buttman wants to whore out his caxhcows(Crosby and Ovie) we get 2 teams I give less than 2 shits about to watch….because more than likely we just saw them as the game of the week a FUCKING WEEK BEFORE THAT!!!! HELLO LEAGUE OFFICE VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!!!!
And my favorite team is in the WEST….I only give a shit about the East when we play them or in the Playoffs
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
Great game Blues
You played an inspired defensive game today and deserved the 2 points. It just further reinforces the fact that the words “Halak” and “save” used in the same sentence might be the most obnoxious combination you can put together. Thank you Montreal for throwing him away to the West.
Also, how does Alex Steen not have a goal this year? He had a great game, or at least I thought so. He deserved to score.

Hmmm
I have nothing against Crosby. The Penguins took out the Red Wings in the final two years ago, I have no bad blood with them.
^^ THIS ^^
I call Crosby “Cindy,” and call him a dick, every now and then, but I don’t really hate him. Bob’s correct in saying that a lot of guys embellish to get a call; Crosby sure isn’t the only one.
Yeah, it’s annoying that the hockey media rides Crosby’s nuts, but really, anything that gives the game a higher profile is OK with me.
Anything, that is, except the media riding Detroit’s/Chicago’s collective sacks… :) Sorry, Bob, but we’ve all got damn good reasons to loathe those window-lickers.
If Crosby was a Blue, we’d all be standing in line to kiss his ass. Hell, I’d probably like Zetterberg or the Sedin waterheads a lot more if they were Blues… I hated Esa Tikkanen’s guts until he was traded to the Blues.

1. I don’t care if you hate Detroit and Chicago, as long as you accept that I hate Philadelphia and Washington. We all have our rivals. But strong rivalries like those are also great for the game.
And it’s funny how the NHL works. We used to love Jarkko Ruutu as a Penguin. Now nobody likes him. I figure there are also quite a few people out there currently that hate Matt Cooke’s guts and would like to see him thrown through the glass. I guess there are just players that you hate to see on another team but with your team, you love them.

Here we go
The blogger formally known as kansasjhawk044. Finally decided to get a new screenname since I quit caring about the Jayhawks three years ago when they screwed me over in recruiting. Go Royals, Chiefs and Blues!

I was hitting the Ketel One
Pretty good after this weekend of awsomeness. Folks, I think we got ourselves a 50 win team here. I think our boys can intensely contend and maybe win the division. I know we are only 1/10 of the way in to the season, but there is something awesome brewing here. I see a 3rd pd intensity that was lacking last year and that will lead to more wins, at worst more points.

Sweet Jeebus

It appears this isn't the full app
You need the Verizon VCAST data stream to watch live video.
I’m now getting a “no games scheduled” when hitting “Schedule” and “Network Error” when hitting “Watch”.
Last night and this morning everything worked fine on my EVO.
News, Players and Standings still work.
From stew_meat on STLtoday
I got the same thing so I turned on 4G and they are back but I can still only see the recap from the sharks/oilers game
TIMNHL is getting live video in STL right now, it may be a 4G thing to watch live video. I don’t have 4G but it’s 5 miles away. Off to test.

Awesome!!
My poor little G1 just asploded from the lack of free space on it now. Thank you for the link!

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
ahhh.....
see verizon has 3 different options for gamecenter….free, premium and live…..premium is 20 bucks and gets you live radio and LIVE gets you actual realtime video…….the free version has no video…..and thats the one I have already……I got the Droid X in August and I love it…….It just updated to froyo 2.2 a week and a half ago……some minor changes but still an awesome phone…..
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
ohhh and for the record....
the LIVE version is 80 bucks……..and no word on if you have to pay again next season……either way to rich for me since I either use my computer, radio or tv to keep track of the game….tonight was a rare night where i was out and i used my phone…..but usually im in or at work…..
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
im going to test it tomorrow on a live game
NHLTIM on STLToday posted he was watching the Coyote game live earlier with the free version.

If you have an iPhone or iPodTouch...
… KMOX is one of the radio stations. Boom. Free Blues. Or, if you live in the 2/3rds of the nation that gets KMOX, well, likewise.

Gaaaah, Sid comments!
I take Boris Valabik’s POV on Sid after Crosby whapped him in the nuts: “What? He did that? I didn’t even notice.”
Seriously, though, I’m cool with Crosby and think he’s a great player; ditto with Malkin. Actually, the only guy on the Pens I don’t like is Matt Cooke, and we all know what happened to him. Out of everyone on their team I’m most impressed with Johnson so far this year – Flower has getting a run for his money.
I actually like the Pens (they’re the EC team I root for when the Thrashers fail miserably), but I’m not going to lie – winning last night felt good. Real good. I just hope that Polak’s ok. I think he got cut with Crosby’s skate. Scary stuff.

was awesome, the drive from KC was worth it, only downside was whoever sells the mag in the garage i cant remember who it is, just didnt seem to care when introduced myself…bummer
Pujols takes out "I" in BIG and "A" in MAC, previously considered to be an unyielding, consonant threat
Is funny face cam
the new Kiss Cam because they don’t want to deal with gay and lesbian folks who might want to be on it, like the Cardinals had earlier this fall?
Anyway, to call out the funny face cam’s lameness and not mention the total fail of the look-alikes cam is dereliction of duty. That thing totally fell flat at the two games I’ve been to.
