Re: Playoff qualifing games [other teams]

The Original 6 issues notwithstanding, I think I would like to see the Rangers end up with the first overall pick out of the teams that are left and will likely get eliminated. Mainly because I want to see some balance restored to the three NY area teams after the Devils got the first overall twice ...

Re: Re-Training Camp

So one thing I've noticed based on the practice groupings so far is that the odd forward out at the moment appears to be Barbashev. This doesn't mean a lot at the moment since they'll have an exhibition game as well as another couple weeks of camp, but Barbashev can't be feeling secure at the momen...

Re: Blues Prospects Thread (2019-20)

We should be enjoying our summer talking about this current offseason and getting pumped up for training camp in another 9 weeks. Everything I look forward to about hockey is ruined at the present time. Tim, you're really harshing my mellow with these comments lately. Let people enjoy things. :lol:

Re: Blues Prospects Thread (2019-20)

The former Blues ECHL affiliate Tulsa Oilers have signed a three-year deal with San Diego (AHL) and Anaheim (NHL). The Blues new AHL affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds, had no ECHL affiliate in the past. How this may affect the St. Louis prospects shuffling for future seasons remains to be see...

Re: McKenzie’s final draft rankings

Having the first pick is a bitch this year...yeah you will get a real good player in Lafreniere but once Byfield figures it out, you might really regret passing on him 10 years down the road. Of course Byfield might not ever figure it out and I’ll be first on record as saying the kid has never impr...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Posted on HF Boards yesterday so I'm assuming this is recent. Hawk logo in target practice. Capture.PNG Call me crazy, but I wouldn't put a target in the middle of the goalie's chest. ;) It's all fun & games, until somebody loses a nipple. :( I lost a nipple once, but then I found a quarter so ...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

https://twitter.com/friedgehnic/status/1266100686527307777?s=21 So at best, end of July start time. They are going to be finishing this season on Halloween. If they had camp for two weeks ahead of the play-in round, they could start the play-in round on Saturday, July 25. Games all afternoon and ev...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

https://twitter.com/PierreVLeBrun/status/1265709211960446976?s=20 Can't see how they don't go to best of 7 in 2nd round. Would be shocked if otherwise. Unless they can't start until September.... Going best-of-7 versus best-of-5 in the first two rounds shouldn't add more than a week to the playoff ...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

So let’s play a best of 5 to eliminate 8 teams that probably wouldn’t have made the playoffs anyway. It is imperfect at best, but they had to do something to deal with the fact that 2 teams in the East (CBJ and NYI) and 4 teams in the West (CGY, WPG, NSH, VAN) could have been either in or out depen...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Unrelated to all this potential playoff format stuff, Elliotte Friedman mentioned in his latest 31 Thoughts piece that the June draft idea seems to be on hold. He mentioned it casually, so maybe that's been out there for a while and I missed it. If they're scrapping that plan I wonder when it will ...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

this is the dumbest idea ever. season's over. just call it done. if you do this, whoever wins will forever have an asterisk and it will mean nothing, other than they have less time over the summer before the actual season starts. what if a major star gets injured in this exhibition clown show? so d...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

The push to get big market teams in the playoff hunt is the main reason why I can't understand the Top 6 divisional philosophy versus the Top 12 in the conference. That shuts out NYR in favor of BUF and CHI in favor of ANA, both of which seem to be negative interest moves. As far as the bracket form...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

So this has been out there a bit, but it really sounds like they're honing in on a 24 team playoff format. It's based on points percentage and will be conference based rather than by divisions. The top 4 seeds (STL/COL/VGK/DAL) would play each other in a round robin tournament to determine their se...

Re: Best Blues Jersey

I check out a website called Icethetics everyday. They post NHL uniform concepts daily. Today was a Blues concept. This is pretty much exactly what I wish the team would look like. Not sure how I feel about that yellow sweater. The design is cool, but it's too Preds-like. The rest are great. Check ...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

This would seem to eliminate hockey for at least another month https://twitter.com/ctvnews/status/1262758730287833102?s=21 I would expect that crossing the border to report to your job on a valid work visa would be considered "essential" travel even if you're not doing "essential&quo...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

I still remember being in shock when we traded Wayne Merrick for Larry Patey and Dave Hrechkosy. Merrick was a pretty good player but Patey had a solid career here. Yeah, Merrick way more skilled than Patey, and he ended up being a key contributor to Islanders 4 Cups. I always thought it was Patey ...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

I can always tell how old a person is (or how long they've been a Blues fan) if they refer to the "kid line" as Berglund-Oshie-Perron. My "kid line" was Sutter-Federko-Bourbbonais, but (help me here,RobbK) I'm pretty sure the original Blues "kid line" had Tim Eccelstone...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

Saw this on HF Boards and I thought I'd share it. Wish NBC would use this music for it's intro with updated video. Music kicks ass IMO. Love this intro. There's 3 or 4 shots of Blues in this video. Have no idea who that right handed shot is for the Blues that flies thru the picture. And you can see...
