Bingo.

I'm going to reserve my judgment on the Western Conference until hockey is played.

4 minutes.

4 minutes into the first, I'm gonna unload on Hitchcock and Armstrong!

Re: The Schwartz, Stastny, Oshie Line

Goc and Lehtera need to continue stepping up their game. Goc, in particular, has looked a little off lately. Not as confident as he was the first couple of weeks after the trade. I agree with you on Goc until last night's game, which was hands down his single best game as a Blue. He was excellent l...

Re: Losers bracket??

There was a great article by Ron Wilson I think, on how he was told to tank...and he did it.

He had to do it in a way where the team didn't know he was doing it.

He also said he'd never do it again.

Re: Wild Fans "honeymooning" with Stewy

I had no idea he had that hard of a childhood.

He was someone I wanted to work out so badly...I still think it was a mistake trading him, but that's last year's news not this year's.

Re: Blues Announce Ticket Prices for First Round

I just found out the shuttles for STLFC are free and do not require any purchase of beverages or taking one's four year old into a bar.

Ergo...I can now use them for my little one.

Re: karma

Guys...bad calls are made all the time. A bad spot once cost a team a superbowl I believe. Watch any sport...and you'll see shitball officiating...the games are too fast and the rules are applied loosely. It's no different in the NHL. I agree 100%. There are bad coaching calls, bad player decisions...

Re: Allen will be the Blues playoff goalie (opinion)

That would be interesting.

If Allen plays tomorrow, I think we've gotten our sign.

It would be nice to know about Steen, Tarasenko, and Bortomir.

Re: Blues Announce Ticket Prices for First Round

That doesn't really seem excessive to me. Maybe I'm just crazy. $65 if it's just me...that's fine. Multiply that by 4 and add in parking and at least 4 sodas and pretzels and that's over $300 and in the worst seats in the house at that for just one game. For me it's just a matter of priorities chan...

Cap team comes with cap team playoff prices. Can't have it both ways. Could be worse, you could be paying what Vancouver, Chicago, New York, and others pay for seats. Yeah, but I also don't have to buy any. :) No doubt. Just don't wonder why they start slashing budget in a few years when they can't...

Re: Blues Announce Ticket Prices for First Round

And herein lies the problem. We want Stillman to spend to the cap. In order for this to happen, ticket prices are going to go up.
