Wednesday Links: Brett Hull Says Things Edition

Why does Phil McRae always look so derp?

Man, my Internet is just absolute garbage right now. It's like it goes to strip clubs all night and forgets to show up at my computer in the morning. Too soon?

Blues News

  • When Brett Hull speaks, we listen. Do you agree with him this time when he says that the whole team is to blame for Oshie's absence? [P-D]
  • Usually, Oshie's energetic play gets the Blues going. Craig Phelps thinks that his absence will spark players to step up. [The Hockey Writers]
  • Oh, and the Blues lost a game last night or something. [P-D]

I'd still love to see Davis Payne sitting at his desk...

scribbling over Oshie’s face on all those team posters with a Sharpie and writing “Mr. Can’t-Wake-Uppington” with an arrow pointing to him. I can also hear him grumbling something like “Stupid move, young man… only twelve thousand posters to go… thanks, Teej, you just caused me to reschedule the accountancy conference call with Bylsma…”

Because that’s what a good coach does, right?

Let's Go Blues!

Brett Hull likes to talk to stir up a shitstorm.

All of us who were fans of the Blues during his heyday with the team KNOW this.

This is why I put little stock into what he says. I think he’s just stirring up shit here.

Who's this Brett Hull feller you guys are yammering about?

Ya, showing the age of my Blues fandom here. I never saw Hull play hockey as a Blue.
1998-99 was my 1st year her in the Lou.

if brett hull

was as concerned with the stars ressing room as the blues, wouldn’t he still be a co-gm??

I think Hull's right... to a certain extent...

I would agree that this team is young, and that they have a unique opportunity here to bond and grow together into a real force in this league.

Speaking only for myself, if I were 25 years younger and skating for the Blues, knowing Oshie’s habits and history, I’d have gone to his place myself and dragged his hungover ass out of bed. He might not have been able to skate or participate in the practice, but he’d have damn sure been there, at least…

There’s some merit to the idea that the young guys ought to all be looking out for each other and keeping each other on the straight and narrow (most of the time)… but there’s also an issue of personal responsibility.

TJ Oshie gets paid a lot of money to drag his frosted tips out to St. Louis Mills and practice, so that he can be better in actual game situations.

Can we all come to a consensus here, at least, that TJ hasn’t been consistently the player we all want him to be, and know he can be, this season? And, if that’s the case, then in’t this the time to fish or cut bait with Oshie?

  Either he comes back from the suspension very publicly humble, apologizes to his teammates and fans, assures them it won;t happen again, and goes out and plays TJ Oshie hockey every minute of every shift from here on out…

…or the Blues look into trading him to try and fill one of the holes they still have in the roster. They’re not likely to get Paul Stastny straight up from Colorado for TJ (unless Armstrong takes Colorado’s GM out drinking again, like he did before they made the Johnson-Stewart deal), so they probably won’t be able to swap TJ for a #1 center. But I’m willing to bet that they could move TJ straight up for a left defenseman that would work with Pietrangelo on the top power-play unit and could play first-pairing minutes, too.

I've had a feeling for a while...

… that Oshie could find himself sporting a different logo on his uniform next season. When Armstrong says that he’s watching everyone, not just the Peoria callups – I think that’s a pretty pointed remark, aimed squarely at everyone whose contract ends in a few weeks.

Yes, Teej missed a huge chunk of the season. No, we fans don’t have any idea where his ankle really is in terms of being healthy and pain-free. But from an outsider’s perspective, it’s pretty easy to look at Oshie as having the worst performance-to-expectation ratio of this year’s RFA class; and his O-show at practice puts him into an even more precarious position.

oh and just a p.s.

while hull never missed a practice or curfew, Todd Ewen Suspended by St. Louis for one game and sent home during 1987-88 season for violating team curfew following a loss at New Jersey on the night of Nov. 5, 1987. Ewen’s Blues teammate Perry Turnbull was also suspended for the same incident.

and for no good reason. line items from the anally complete old skool draft central site on brett hull

Made his NHL debut in Game 3 of Calgary’s Stanley Cup Finals series at Montreal. He hit the post on his first NHL shot in that game.

Became first St. Louis player to be voted by fans to the starting lineup of an NHL All-Star Game when he achieved feat in 1990.

Broke Wayne Babych’s St. Louis record for most goals in one season when he scored his 55th goal of the 1989-90 season during Blues’ Feb. 15, 1990, game vs. Quebec. Fans threw so many souvenir Blues caps on the ice after the goal that the remaining 5:53 of the second period was tacked on to the start of the third period so that arena workers would have time to clear the ice

Missed 1991 NHL All-Star Game with sprained left ankle, an injury suffered when Joel Quenneville fell on his leg during St. Louis’ Jan. 15, 1991, game vs. Washington

Scored a goal in 67.8 percent of all St. Louis games during the 1989-90 and 1990-91 seasons, the greatest ratio of goal-scoring to games in back to back seasons by any NHL player.

 Missed St. Louis’ 1994 training camp with a mild case of Epstein-Barr virus that caused enlargement of is spleen, an illness diagnosed during his preseason physical

 Has never missed playoffs during his NHL career

Hull publicly lashed out at St. Louis fans for booing Adam Oates because Oates was trying to get more money out of the team. Hull referred to those Blues fans as “losers” and said he wanted to “rip the head off” one particular fan who was waving a derogatory sign that made fun of Oates. Hull also made it clear that he was not happy with the team for allowing the Oates contract dispute to end with Oates’ Feb. 7, 1992, trade to Boston. The Oates trade was particularly rough on Hull, who lost his best friend as a teammate as well as the player he credited with much of his success. After the trade, he told Hockey News reporter Dave Luecking that he felt “empty.”
