Re: Magnus Paajarvi

Berglund is a minor factor at this point. He's an OK 3rd liner, but his ice time and usage over the last few seasons seem to show that the coaching staff really doesn't have much confidence in him any more. I think they'd rather have Brouwer as a regular 3rd line winger, jumping up to a top-6 role ...

Schwartz - Backes - Jaskin
Fabbri - Lehtera - Brouwer
Upshall - Brodz - Reaves

Jay Bo - Petro
Shatt - Parayko
Lindbohm - Borts
At this point I think this is 100% correct (roster-wise, not assignment necessarily). Hope it is, at least.

Re: Adidas lands NHL jersey deal

Count me in with those who disdain the thought of ads on jerseys.

And the one problem I see is I'm sure it will be a slippery slope. It will start off small and before we know it, there will be ads all over them like the previous picture.

Thumbs down.

Re: KANE is in trouble.

yes..based on what I read it sounds a bit fishy to me. You may gotten something entirely different from the story but I didn't get all butthurt because you have a different view and automatically believe Kane raped her. I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt until it's proven. I get i...

Re: KANE is in trouble.

Why would I need to backtrack on anything? My only stance has always been that he's innocent until proven guilty and that when he's convicted of rape is when I'll refer to him as a rapist. What hole am I digging? That I didn't jump on the "Convict Pat Kane" right away like yourself and mo...

Re: KANE is in trouble.

Pete.....that's why I used the word "Allegedly" when posting it. I posted it because it was news that is making the rounds today. I'm pretty sure it's too late to backtrack now on your obvious stance. Still wondering what was "fishy" about the story. Keep on digging that hole.

Sorry you got called out and don't like it.

That's contribution enough for me!

Re: KANE is in trouble.

And again, I ask the same question for those who doubt the woman's story, because I cannot find an answer while reflecting on it: What motivation does she have to lie and take it to the police? Does it matter? People -can- be crazy. Remember the Duke lacrosse case when the victim recanted? You can'...

What does claiming the story seems fishy imply?

Re: KANE is in trouble.

She is faking those bite marks. again, those bite marks don't prove rape and no I'm not defending Kane. He's an idiot for putting himself in these kinds of situations. The story is both disturbing and you have to admit sounds a bit fishy as well. Not sure his career is over but his time as a Chicag...

Re: Who did it best?

I REALLY like what san jose did. Regular season wise what they did was a wash, if not a slight upgrade. Playoffs, they'e gonna be TOUGH. Whichever team plays them will either lose or be so worn out they won't make it much further I thought the same thing about the Jets this year, but then they got ...

Re: Are We Really a Better Team?

Yeah I'm really really nervous about what Armstrong might do to save his job. The reality is though you just can't let assets go for nothing your GM has to be smart about the longterm and the short. I have my doubts about Army in relation to the long term. He is in job saving mode. Even if he was o...

Re: Blue Jackets calling on Shattenkirk

I also thought that last season Petro played his best hockey with Gunnar. Its weird, but I think he might has a bit of a confidence issue playing with another big name. He tries not to do too much and defers to the other guy too often. When he's playing with Cola, Gunnar, someone he knows he's bett...

Re: Alexander Steen's impact

I've always considered Steen one of the top players on our team. His back-to-back 60 points seasons the past two years mark the only time any player on the current team hit 60 points twice in their career. Oddly enough, I believe the last Blues player to get 60+ back-to-back was Brad Boyes. I'm not ...

Re: Blue Jackets calling on Shattenkirk

I look at it like this. The knock on Petro (and I believe Army put this on himself) was he didn't have that partner. He was too young to carry the load alone, so they went and got Jaybo. I still think that's the case. Petro doesn't elevate his partner, he's dependent on him. Shatty on the other han...

Re: Blue Jackets calling on Shattenkirk

Just to add some fun to this discussion, consider the following: Shattenkirk's .586 PPG would put him tied with Scott Niedermayer for 45th all time (minimum 250 points scored). A full season this year (82 games) of last year's production would net him 64 points and put him at .701 PPG which would qu...

Re: Prospect Camp

Considering heading to the Mills today to catch the last day of camp.

How was the crowd leading up to the start? How early do you think I should arrive?

Re: Frank is signed!

Honestly I really don't think all of that is out of the question. I think people forget just how good of a team we've got. There's that hope sneaking in again. Happens every off-season. :P I tried to remain positive throughout. I was disappointed in the first round exit, but not as much as most wer...

Re: Frank is signed!

Frank is happy, I am happy. Lets. Go. Blues. As a delusional fan I am now placing my bets on Fabbri making the team, Petro and Shatty both having outstanding years, Army finds a way to move Gunner and Ott, and Jaybo and Stastny return to optimum form and have career years, leading us to win the Sta...

Re: Is Lehtera a #1C?

Last year Lehtera was brought in because of his chemistry with Frank. This year he should have better chemistry after adjusting to the NHL and the Blues. I think throughout the year Hitch will mix and match. We'll probably see Stastny and Lehtera swap between 1 and 2 I agree that Lehtera will impro...
