PrintWelcome to the post game coverage of the Blues hosting the Avalanche tonight at the Drinkscotch Center in beautiful and chilly downtown St. Louis.
The game is over and we have no idea who won. You see we have a weird hobby along with this website. A few of us work long hours for absolutely little to no pay to publish a game day magazine/program/newspaper that we sell outside every home game. Try us, you'll like us. And you see, there's a game Sunday night. At home. We're swamped.
So to give you all a chance to congregate after the game and hopefully get your creative juices flowing, we decided to do a rare Mad Libs edition of the post-game wrap. We'll give you the structure and you fill in the blanks. Extra Schrutebucks to the more creative responses in the comments
Here we go.
What a _______ (adj) game for the St. Louis Blues tonight as they ______ (beat/lost to) the Colorado Avalanche _____ (score). The Blues totally dominated the _______ (noun) tonight in the game leading to the final outcome which was _______ (adj).
If I had to narrow it down to just one play of the game, I'd say it was _________ (player name) when he _______________ (free reign on this one). It was _________ (adj). I must say, I was surprised when ________ (player) on the _________ (Blues/Avs) took the puck and ___________ (verb) it. That was a __________ (adj) moment.
For Colorado, I thought Erik Johnson was ________ (adj). I'm _________ (adj) he's gone. No really, I am.
This game reminded me of a ___________ (noun).
That's all for me. I'm off to ______________ (verb) with __________ (person) at the ___________ (place).

sorry, no time for mad libs.
Berglund, even before that sweet GW looked good to me.
Shattenkirk’s scoreless streak continues, but I ain’t scared. Kid is affecting the game positively in many ways.
Pietrangelo is still my vote for best defender, but he has shown a sloppy tendency lately, and that is uncharacteristic. Is he trying to do too much with the puck? Keep playing the strong, simple, smart game he was playing before and stop coughing up the puck in the defensive and neutral zones.
Halak seems to make the spectacular save while Elliott seems to make every save look easy. Argue all you want about who is better, but I love having both on the same team. Chicago would kill for either right now.
Great game guys

I'll give it a shot...
What a bad-ass game for the St. Louis Blues tonight as they smoked the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 in OT. The Blues totally dominated the play tonight in the game leading to the final outcome which was ultimately, quite satisfying.
If I had to narrow it down to just one play of the game, I’d say it was Perron when he stuck it up Colorado’s ass on the PP not once,, but twice. It was tremendous. I must say, I was surprised when ________ (player) on the _________ (Blues/Avs) took the puck and ___________ (verb) it. That was a “what-the-fuck” moment.
For Colorado, I thought Erik Johnson was ________ (adj). I’m _________ (adj) he’s gone. No really, I am.
This game reminded me of a ___________ (noun).
That’s all for me. I’m off to ______________ (verb) with __________ (person) at the ___________ (place).

Post FAIL ... not fully awake yet.
Returning to your regularly-scheduled program…
I must say, I was surprised when Patrick Berglund on the Blues took the puck and scored in OT with it. That was a "what-the-fuck-it’s about-goddamn-time" moment.
For Colorado, I thought Erik Johnson was adequate. I’m ambiguous about the fact that he’s gone. No really, I am.
This game reminded me of a potential cluster-fuck with a bad ending until the very end.
That’s all for me. I’m off to work with the Game Time Prospect Department “staff” at the Editorial section.

Hey everybody -
Avs fan here. Good game last night – your boys out played our boys pretty handedly. But it was the second of a back to back for us and we looked tired, so we’ll take the one point. Thank you Varly for stealing at least that.
Anyway, I came over to ask about Erik Johnson. I’m curious why you hate him so much. All of us Avs fans are a bit baffled by it, so if you could clear that up, I’d really appreciate it.

not really. he just went backwards for
a few years. then he got pissed off he was traded, which actually is pretty cool, so now he wants to show the blues he was better than they thought he was.
we wonder why you guys think he is better than shattenkirk. explain plz

They’re completely different players. EJ is more of a shutdown guy now – that’s only his second goal this season. He’s stopped trying to force the offence and has become really, really solid on his end of the ice. I think that we’ll start seeing some of the offense coming back into his game eventually as he continues to develop, but he’s really excelled since he stopped trying to constantly jump into the play.
Shatty’s the exact opposite. He’s pretty good on D, but is more of an offensive defenseman. We miss him quite a bit, but we have both Barrie (who you saw last night – he’s still getting the rookie jitters out) and Elliott still in our system who are practically his clones as far as playing style is concerned. Our team also made the conscious effort to get way bigger and bulkier on the blueline over the past season, and Shatty didn’t exactly fit that bill.
In general, we see EJ as capable of developing into a more well-rounded player due more to his size and physical play than anything else. Shatty will be good for your blueline, but we still have 2 Shattys for ours. EJ’s stupid mistakes have basically disappeared over the past three months, and he’s started playing like the franchise defenseman we expected him to be. Shatty never would have been that for us despite his solid play.

and we saw his best season in his rookie year
and every additional year and responisbility he took on he had to leave part of his game behind him.
shattenkirk was the leading plus on the ice last night, is outscoring and out “two-waying” what lots of people seem to think is our best defenseman. and no one has given up on his upside either. the blues have seen several cast offs step up and do remarkable jobs on the shut down end from mike weaver to kent huskins and we have jackman having his best season, and polak farting in opponents helments
getting a scoring, trasnitional, pp qb at the blueline is the tougher nhl task
again, does colorado feel they got the best player in Johnson, cos like no one here does. we didnt before the trade, we didnt whent he trade was announced, and we certainly don’t today. if in 10 years ej has more to show than shattenkirk, then come back, and even then i, at least, will still say the best player in the trade went to the blues and the trade was in the blues favor.

That sounds like a great place for
EJ to be.
He was touted when drafted as an offensive defenseman and when that wasn’t realized people turned on him.
It sounds like Avs fans like that he’s the shutdown defensive defenseman and he can thrive and slowly add back to his game.

I think he was the Blues
only #1 overall pick ever and people push upon him the fact that numerous players picked after him have done much better. I don’t think that was fair to him since he’s a Dman and the others are forwards and are meant to score points. It should be more anger towards the draft personnel.
It could be the irresponsible way he blew his knee out in a golf cart outing which we feel was pretty well covered up by the front office. IE—drunken derby golf cart outing.
He had a great first year for a defenceman, blew out the knee, came back the next year somewhat tentative (which I think is acceptable for a youngster) and then was still the same the first half of the next when he was traded.
I personally don’t hate him and hope he does well for you, including living up to the potential that was obviously seen in him originally.

Thanks. Those were most of the reasons we guessed at last night, but we were still confused since the only player we boo every time he touches the puck ended the career and ruined the life of one of our players. We were just wondering what EJ had done to deserve the Bertuzzi treatment since it seemed a little harsh.
From everything I’ve heard/inferred, EJ seems to play his best when he’s not under a ton of pressure. When he was with you, he had the burden of being the first overall and was expected to play to that level right away. His play also suffered here when he was being considered for the Captaincy at the beginning of the year. Once Hejduk was given the C, EJ seemed to mellow out and began playing some really solid hockey. He seems to want to succeed and live up to all the expectations placed on him, but when he’s under pressure he ends up over-thinking everything instead.
While I do think your team gave up on him way too soon, I’m not sure he could have become the player he was “meant to be” there because of all of that pressure. To us, the fact he was a 1st overall is just a bit of trivia and not much more. We do expect him to become a franchise defenseman, but since the rest of our team is so incredibly young as well, we’re fine with waiting a few years for him to get there. We’re just really happy to have him.
Hopefully Shatty works out just as well for you guys.

In his last 2 years here
he had several end to end rushes where he went through the other team like crap through a goose, He just missed scoring on them but not many Dmen can blow by a whole team like that. Those rushes reminded me of Coffey and Orr and I hoped it was a glimpse into his future. He doesn’t look like that right now, if he can develop into half the player those 2 were he’ll do just fine.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
He’s done that here too, along with some spin moves that probably made some of our forwards blush. Once he figures out how to tap into that without sacrificing too much defensively, he’ll be fine. I think a large part of that will have to do with the player they find to be his long-term partner. There’s a lot of speculation that Duncan Siemens (the kid we drafted with your 1st rounder last year) is going to be the guy, but he’s still a long way out. Still, once we find a shut-down defenseman that EJ has good chemistry with, watch out.
We’re not too worried about EJ at this point. Most of us are pretty content with the trade, especially because McClement has been awesome for us since he became our 3rd line center instead of our 4th. He’s probably the biggest reason why our PK has gotten a million times better this year. And like I said, Siemens shows a lot of promise.
Speaking of which, how do you guys feel about the trade now that it’s almost been a year? I’ve heard Stewy’s back to being Stewy again and is in one of his invisible phases.

im honeslty confused
by your confusion.
like i said last night, it’s pretty simple, he’s an ex blue. i dont really get the warm fuzzies for any ex-blue.
he came to st. louis with great hype (only no. 1 in franchise history) at the top of a loaded draft. the blues gave him the keys to the franchise and he had a pretty good rookie year. then, he dicked around on a golf cart and tore his acl.
he was supposed to be the next chris pronger, but he never used his size in st. louis. if he had a good offensive game, he turned the puck over too much. when he played good defense, his shot on the PP couldn’t hit the net. he was madly inconsistent.
he didnt choose to get drafted no. 1, but that’s where he was taken. he never lived up to the hype and there were a lot of stories about him being immature and partying all the time.
in short: he was supposed to be the future, he fucked up his knee and never developed beyond his rookie year. he’s the worst no. 1 pick since rick dipietro.
I don't know where you guys learned how to do mad-libs...
What a HORNY (adj) game for the St. Louis Blues tonight as they FARTED (beat/lost to) the Colorado Avalanche 69-69 (score). The Blues totally dominated the BOOBS (noun) tonight in the game leading to the final outcome which was HARD (adj).
If I had to narrow it down to just one play of the game, I’d say it was MIKE ROTCH (player name) when he PICKED HIS NOSE (free reign on this one). It was BOOB-SHAPED (adj). I must say, I was surprised when SEYMOUR BUTTS (player) on the ASS (Blues/Avs) took the puck and LICKED (verb) it. That was a HUNGRY (adj) moment.
For Colorado, I thought Erik Johnson was STUPID (adj). I’m SHITTY (adj) he’s gone. No really, I am.
This game reminded me of a TAINT (noun).
That’s all for me. I’m off to POOP (verb) with POOP (person) at the POOP (place).
THAT’S how you do a madlib!
