Thursday Links: Elliott Phone Home Edition

by bradflick55 on Jan 12, 2012 12:34 PM CST

I'm not sure why you guys are all shocked that the Blues only have one All-Star. The team contributes pretty evenly across the board and they don't have any household names that could squeak in with pedestrian numbers (looking at you, Patrick Kane). That has been the case for years now.

Blues News

At least the Blues' lone All-Star is Brian Elliott, who has the numbers expected of an All-Star goalie. He also will get to flaunt them in front of his old fans in Ottawa. [Blues]

Which player would you rather have?

A D-Man who has 30 points (7G 23A) and is a +2

A D-Man who has 22 points (6G 16A) and is a +16?

Perhaps I am biased but I think it sucks that Vancouver gets 4 representatives and the Blues get 1.

Its weird... half the year my blood is red... but then the other half... it's blue... hm...

I almost puked.

When I saw those names on that list. 3 Shitcago Suckhawk players, 4 canucks, 3 preds and only 1 blue.

Rule 78.5 And A Half:

All rules go out the window if the play in question occurs during a game including the St. Louis Blues franchise. All ruling shall go against said franchise.

Going to be a hell of a game tonight.

Tonight's game will be a very good measure of the Blues.

Vancouver’s not a team of grinders, they’re stacked with skills and have an annoying pest in Alex Burrows. If we can beat them, we can beat just about anyone this season. We had trouble with Detroit, also a skilled and pest-using team.
