Jay McClement Burns Down Atlanta

by gallagher on Oct 30, 2010 10:35 PM CDT

Let's get the non-Jay McClement news out of the way first: Brad Boyes and T.J. Oshie scored some sick shootout goals to seal tonight's victory and Jaroslav Halak is apparently such a good goalie that he actually prevents opposing players from getting their shots off in the SO. Also, Eric Brewer ought to take the baseball swing to hit a bouncing puck play out of his programming.

Now, on to the first star of the game tonight. Silent Jay McClement, Game Time's official nominee for Selke Trophy consideration this year, scored all three regulation goals by banking a puck in off his prone body, tapping in one from about seven inches out and tipping one out of mid-air. Touch the puck with your stick twice, only one on an actual shot and score three goals? Number 18 might just be a magician.

In other, more traditional Jay McClement news, tonight he spent 5:09 on the penalty kill, won six of eight faceoffs he took in the defensive zone, blocked two shots, finished plus-3, was named the game's first star and now has the right to pick my hat out of the pile they scraped off the ice as a souvenir of his first career hat trick.

Here's Jay's non-Silent post-game interview. What do you know, it's been a while since his last hat trick....

#silentjayforselke gets a boost with this

because for some odd reason, you have to have decent offensive skills to win a defensive minded award.

After his hat trick he was on the bench talking to one of the coaches with a big ol smile on his big ol face. His smile makes me smile. Fuck yeah, I thought this was gonna be another all hallows eve massacre then Jay was like “Just kidding about the apple your parents wont let you eat anyway, heres a tub of gummi bears.”

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.

I shoulda stayed home and watched the Blues game.

I went to the Jr. Blues game tonight against Topeka. Lots of unnecessary penalties by the Jr. Blues made the game difficult to watch. For whatever reason, they looked like they did at the first of the year: they ran out of energy in the 3rd period. So, they lost 6 to 4 after a sluggish game.

Silent Jay is also the #1 star at Puck Daddy.

Tell me about it...

Bunch ’a entitled, self-righteous douchrockets.

Some of these jackwagons think that their players should win every award, every year, and just be given the Cup because they’re the Detroit Red Wings.

because you have to be a superstar to be picked for one of the night's 3 stars.

A hattrick can’t be scored by anyone other than a sniper who plays for Detroit or a “big market” team. Got it.

Assholes. I hate the commenters over there more than the ones on STL Today.

Jay McClement is my homeboy

I’ve been hyping him for a year-plus now and the first game I get to attend since the 08 playoffs, Silent Jay pops in three. Fuck and yes.

As Gallagher said after the game, that’s a game the Blues don’t win last year. This team has “IT” right now. It’s fun to watch.

i'll assume

the ref situation was cvovered in the gdt. wow.

and obviously jay is covered here.

so i’ll just add this. dayum but alex p wants the puck. every second he is on the ice. Is that a woodpecker? no-ope alex is tapping for the puck, yea the put is behind their goal and alex is still in his own d zone,but dammit he thinks he is open and give him the puck already to shut him up!!!!

up until the win, and perhaps even after it, i thought that the team was giving payne the message that cam must start via the sharks. will be interesting to see if he does thursday, and if halak continues. post-game they were discussing something about how halak should play (via twister from panger) 65 games. he is well over that pace, and yet will be over rested if not played thursday.

hmmm who is the only other blues goalie that can out g.a.a. halak? holy shut out batman, i watched the retelecast of the pens game after i got home. brenjo is 1.16 brian insert something here..and that guy in boston they replace every year? 0.50. ZERO POINT FIVE with three shutouts.

THIS is whyt we need a yearlty olympics. as brutal as that tends to be on trivia producing, it is certainly fun knowing there is 4 games a week. in the slow weeks.

I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth ... while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

Definately

a game the Blues don’t win last season; Halak’s sang-froid is rubbing off on the entire team… once Silent Jay got his second goal, I knew the Blues would get a third to at least earn a point. I’m not a fan of the shootout, but once Oshie scored, I figured Jaro would blank any and all comers… Great win, now get ready for the Sharks!

The "McD'Agosteeni" line looks to be an awesome force

Man was that fun or what last night…and I have very little voice for the Rams game today.

I watched via DVR delay last night here in Denver

with my buddy who’s a Thrashers fan. Good game overall, great 3rd period comeback, awesome OT and shootout.

Lotsa fun, (Mc)Lovin! (as in McClement) this team right now!

Go Blues!

That just sounds so fantastic!

Halak uses some kind of tractor beam

We saw it last night. The poor forward was coming in getting ready to shoot and suddenly he locked up and got sucked into Halak’s pads before he could get a shot off.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
