Blues News

I don't follow the prospects, especially in May, but there's a reason why Game Time has somebody who does. Yesterday, I said there was no Blues news, but TB learned us somethin' by saying, "The QMJHL Champion Saint John Sea Dogs won the Memorial Cup yesterday, 3-1 over the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors of the OHL. [Blues] 2010 draft pick (164th overall) Stephen Macaulay assisted on the insurance goal." Thanks, TB, for this information. [QMJHL]

Steven Stamkos got hit in the face with a puck in Game 7 of the ECF, so naturally, somebody does a countdown of pucks to the face. [Bleacher Report]

So Shittipeg now has a team

It aint right how Buttman abandoned Atlanta, I hope he has more faith in St Louis and will fight for us if a similar situation arises. I see a troubling situation. I’ll bet in 10 months PHX will be back in the same situation.

Im torn......

While I do feel bad for Atlanta fans I loved the look of defeat on Bettmans face……you could tell he didn’t want this to happen……with Phoenix or Atlanta……

Welcome Back Winnipeg…..Sorry Atlanta…..

I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......

It's funny

As a fan I’ve been on both sides of the coin for this, with the Colts leaving and the Ravens coming here, so I know how both sides feel. Also, I don’t see the NHL EVER going back to Atlanta, this is the 2nd team they have lost to a Canadian city.

I hope Winnipeg has it figured out financially this time.

If they fold, then what?

Maybe they'll get it?

I hear moose hides and stolen genuine Saskatchewan Sealskin automobile safety belts are going for a good price this year.
