How politically indecisive are our sport’s writers in this city? Other than Rutherford, they all spoke in flip flop. Their comments boil down to this. “Halak might be good, but he might be bad. He might be worth the money, he might not. We’ll just have to see how it turns out.”

Just fucking enjoy the moment fellas, we have a legit #1. For shit stains sake.

LEGACE IS AN ALL STAR!!!!

crazed fangirl… ignore me

I’m still on the early morning shift opening the place up at 10.

I’ll get ahold of Joe if I end up backing into a wireless connection, so be ready for more Joe tomorrow.

And good work observing the SEO guidelines.

First, Johnson needs to play 25-30 minutes a game…NOW. He needs to be out there for every powerplay, every penalty kill, and be on there as much as possible on even strength. I like him with Polak because of Roman’s stay at home style. This will allow EJ to rush the puck. I think Polak could be a great pairing with EJ.

Second, Petrangelo needs to play (and not just 12 minutes a game). He needs to be on the ice for every powerplay, and he needs to be out there on even strength more than a few shifts a game. Yeah, he may make a mistake, but I’d stomach his mistakes a lot easier than Brewers…which brings me to my last point……

Brewer needs to play under 20 minutes a game. He should never step foot on the ice during a powerplay, and he should never be out there in the closing moments when the game is on the line. Jackman doesn’t bother me as much as Brewer. There were times last year, where it looked like Barrett improved his game significantly, Brewer has looked lost from the beginning.

What do you guys think the Blues should do with their defensemen next year? Doesn’t look like Weaver will be back…so spots 6 and 7 will be open game for the youngsters….who gets these spots and what do your pairings look like?

if cole or petro aren’t ready to make a top 6 spot, there’s no reason to stick them in what i am now proclaiming as the Darryl Sydor Arena Press Box Tour. it’d have to be strachan. he has nothing left to prove in the AHL. that, and the younger guys need as much ice time as possible to develop, whether it be AHL or with the big boys. decisions, decisions..

i think it would be a great idea. Polak has showed that he can adapt quickly and perform in the role he was asked. If he can provide enough support him and Johnson should be comfortable taking turns in the rush, effectively spurring the development of both players who will learn a new dynamic of their position at this level. Polak is very young and very raw, he could very well establish a solid 2-way game and surprise all of us again. wishful thinking, but id like to see it for a few games.

What about DJ King’s Condo? If it’s important enough for a link from this site, it’s important that we should know about it, right?

Welcome to 1920, sportsfans!

“Winnebagos” is the preferred term.
