Sam?
You okay? That last paragraph reads like you may have suffered a stroke. You’re contributions are untouchable … just thought it was funny.
Agreed...
…doesn’t seem like coherent English sentences, but I’ll leave it to Thor to apply withering feedback.
St/ Lous knocked off Calgary at home last night, right? I actually think this is a good omen for tonight.
Brad what happened with that team? I was at a Hawks game last February where the Blues absolutely dominated us. I think we had 1 SOG halfway through the game, and the thing was an embarassing laugher. I know they had injuries early last year but they played their asses off through the end of the season and made the playoffs.
I expected them to really compete and be the team to challenge the Hawks in the division this year with the Wings maybe/maybe not on the decline, but not only hasn’t it happened, they’ve been really bad. The few times I’ve seen them there’s been no fight in that team.
I should also mention that while most of this website hates the Wings, I actually kind of admire them, but I royally hate the Blues. I mean piss on their graves, shit in their mother’s open mouth hate the Blues. So please note that while I’m asking you about the Blues in a fairly diplomatic way, what I really mean is go fuck yourself.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Could you replace the indian head with a picture of bill wirtz and replace the blues logo with the indian head?
But in the grand scheme of things I must admit that’s a pretty good picture from a blues fans’ perspective.

how you brought a tank but all it shoots is what appears to be water (at best, piss). Kinda like Jackman, right? Fuck the Blues. Not even worth a thought.

Also, saw him at the STH party last Tuesday. He looked good.

Duly noted
And we don’t have the first fucking clue why this team can’t play a full 60 minutes every night. Tuesday vs. Calgary, they played a strong game all three periods. We were shocked.
And while I will always hate Detroit, there is a special place in the dark corner of my heart for disliking the fucking Hawks.
www.stlouisgametime.com
Agree 100%, trash the Blues!
While I hate the Red Wings, I respect that team and the organ-I-zation. The Blues? Nothing but utter contempt for them since I learned how to say LET’S GO HAWKS/DETROIT SUCKS!
I want nothing less than a wanton slaughter of the St. Louis Blues tonight.
Oh, do the Blues and Blackhawks actually get to play each other tonight? What!?!
It ought to be a good one tonight — these games usually are. Couldn’t land tickets, so I’ll probably watch it at Sedgwick’s with other St. Louis-Chicagoans tonight.
You wouldn’t want to link us fellas at SLGT to a courtesy copy of The Committed Indian tonight, eh? Always nice to see what the other side has to say…I’m sure there’ll be nothing but praise and goodwill toward our Blues…
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
Gallagher will forward it along I'm sure
I just sent out the email copies, ask him to forward it to you.

Thanks Sam.
Any guesses for tonight’s game? Score? Fights? Referee fuck-ups?
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
Regarding the Hossa, Sharp, Ladd line...
I know it seems strange at first, but I think the idea behind it is that it is a “skilled veteran” line. While Ladd isn’t even close to Panda or Sharpy as far as skills actually go, all three have played a lot of hockey in the league, and it just may boost Laddy’s game while we know Hossa and Sharp will continue to put up numbers.
Finally!
I’m actually glad to see a St. Louis game. Having to put up with the boring crapfests of games against Nashville and Columbus really makes me appreciate real rivals more.

scheduling this season
has been fucked to hell. Whatever, glad to finally see the Blues tonight. Let’s see if we can top four first-period fights tonight.
Quick question... and off topic....
Bought standing room for a game in Jan…. does anyone know if standing room people can just get there early and grab a spot in that bar? Are there seats that over look this ice?

Good question
I might try that out on Friday. I’ll post something about it in the post-game friday if nobody responds to this.

They check your tickets at the bar for the standing room area, they say you have to have ‘300-section tickets’. However, I don’t know if that means standing room tickets aren’t allowed, my guess is they aren’t. Either way, I’m sure you can maneuver your way in there…
Interesting....
See my problem is I have a short wife…. (no jokes please) But she’ll be pissed if she can’t see the game… though the bar would be they way to go…we’ll see.
Any tips?
Nah...
I’m too ugly… I’m lucky I found one…
You would think the 'Hawks should win this one...
But as we’ve seen in the past that hasn’t always happened. But tonight it has to, for no other reason, I don’t want to wake up in the morning and see Nashville in 1st place in this division as it may cause my keyboard to take the brunt of my induced vomit that may result. Nashville in 1st place? Nope. It just can’t happen.
Since it’s the Blues may we also deliver a message to them much like the ones given to Calgary and San Jose. I would be very pleased if that were to happen.
It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!

blues hate
i’m not gonna claim to have hung in there through the rough years, but i think the STL hate needs to be ramped up to that of the 80s. DETROIT SUCKS gets the publicity, but i grew up with almost equal hate for the blues. too bad Minne isn’t in the division. i hate them too.

But here's the question
the Wild aren’t the North Stars. So are you supposed to hate the Wild or Dallas when what you really want to do is track down Dino Cicarelli and knock him out of his wheel chair and kick him in the balls?

Darian Hatcher
On Roenick? I had a lot of mid 90’s stars hate….
yep
piss on Darian Hatcher. Never had any problem with their star players except for that jagoff. Plus the old North Stars logo and road jersey color scheme was arguably the second best jersey this side of the road Quebec Nordiques jersey.

I didn't know this
until I just looked it up on wikipedia:
On October 20, 2000, Belfour plead guilty to a misdeamenor charge in which Belfour was subdued by police after a woman he was with became frightened by an intoxicated Belfour in a Metro Dallas hotel room. While under arrest and being transported to the local division, he allegedly offered Dallas police officers one billion dollars for his release without charges.
That’s fucking hilarious.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Ramped up to the hate of the 60s and 70s
When Chicago came to STL back then the jails and bars were both full by the end of the night. One night the Blues had nickel beer night at the ole Barn. Falstaff was the Blues sponsor then and it was like a golden shower all night. The refs got hit, the Hawk fans, fans who stood up while play was under way.
Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints
For any good Norris game in the 80's
there were more fights in the stands than on the ice. I actually like that that’s not the case anymore, but I miss the rivalry.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
There's a quote out there somewhere
Bob Plager’s book maybe, about how when the players got bored they’d watch the fights in the stands at Blues/Hawks games.
Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints

That I’ve gotten to witness a game, at my battle station. I’m excited.
Let’s get this done.
And besides, the last time (before the Lightning game) we actually saw a dominating performance out of the boys was at the last meet n’ drink. Due to that, I’m calling for more. Meet n’ drinks and those bonertime inducing performances.

if you go to this website they give you all the directions. their feed is consistently the most reliable feed. every game is covered and its pretty decent quality.
I really detest Bettman's TV policies
I buy the NHL package and can’t even get the game because it’s on NHL net which Time Warner doesn’t offer. So I paid $200 and get stiffed. Then I go to NHL.com and they offer a free trial. Great! I click on the Hawks/Blues and they say to go to Versus or NHL Network on your cable. Brilliant. No wonder the NHL is a second tier sport.
First time i've ever seen that call.

The personal attacks and dumb calls to pull a goalie after two goals that weren’t his fault had nothing to do with it.

if it was right, or remotely logical
you’d see coaches do it. they don’t. fail.
obviously you do not

what are you talking about?
coaches switch the goalies all the time depending on which side the faceoff is. ;)
I never said it was the goalies fault....

No you're right about that
but he’s had two shifts on D tihs period, not wing, so I’m trying to figure out which D man is injured or just sitting. He was out with Sopel, and then Campbell on one shift, and this past shift he was out with Keith. Campbell and Hammer are currently on the ice so it’s either Seabrook or Barker.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
hendry was out w/ keith just now
so i’m guessing seabs
Barker did not come back in the the 3rd?
That’s why Hendry was moved from wing to D. And yes he was playing in place of Kopecky.

Kaner calling Blues out
Maybe not the best idea for our ultra-talented midget to make mention, over the UC PA system, that the Blues always seem to take cheap shots and take shots after the whistle. We do see them another 5 times this season if the CSN crew is to believed about anything
Sweet emotion
That was a great win for the ’Hawks as Huet and Niemi became the first tandem since Bannerman and Esposito in 1983 to record back-to-back shutouts. Pretty fucking awesome I must say.
Hossa netted another and now has 5 markers as it’s only a matter of time before he takes over the team lead in goals. Candy Kane with 3 sweet dishes that ties a career high and Byfuglien decided (once again) to show up and become the player we all envisioned him to be on a nightly basis.
Overall ZERO PASSENGERS tonight in another dominant performance by the ’Hawks again. Next up another Original 6 match-up with the Bruins (one of 5 teams that are worth a fuck in the Eastern Conference). Should be another classic duel.
It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!
I'd count Sopel as a waste tonight
The only positive thing I can say about him is he prevented Janssen from killing Huet.

I don’t know, he beat the wingers back to get some of the pucks in the corner, which is better than normal. And he did block some more shots, keeping Huet from seeing more than he already had to.

Wow, cool
First back-to-back shutouts since ‘83? (by different goalies?) I don’t feel like looking that up, so I’ll trust you on that. Glad I was there for both! Nice that Huet is catching up with shutouts. Admittedly against two teams doing badly now, but impressive nonetheless.
Boston is the Eastern team I like, so I don’t mind if they get ONE point Fri. (I’ll be there)…but I’m getting sick of OT & shootouts, more so with Boston than Chicago this year.

Les Québecois are weird
If you move to Montreal, you will have weird experiences. I only understood about a quarter of the conversation tonight, but I watched the game with a parking attendant. A fucking parking attendant. That guy was awesome. I should have bought his 15th beer.
If you were wondering why time left on the penalties were announced
(this was asked earlier; I skimmed through the thread after getting home) The Jumbotron wasn’t working properly for the first 2 periods—all the graphics for penalties came up, but they couldn’t get the players’ numbers and penalty info in the box. They wanted to help the crowd know about PP time…
I take photos of the Jumbotron every time something happens in a game (to help me remember/write about it later), so I was frustrated not being able to record those. Especially the first penalties—when #55 and #55 both got roughing penalties. (I kind of wanted a 55-55 fight…)

Power plays...
So if our power play is “clown shoes” and St Louis’ PP is worse what do we call it?
Clown dick?
I'd take it down further

Two items tonight...
Seabrook was back to his old form and was a MONSTER out their tonight!!!
Like that Q recoginized the Blues were takin shots at Kane , so he Kane running with Eager and Buff on different shifts late in the game.
Oh one more item…Buff had the kind of game that reminds all of us of what a force he can be and he can makes men look like litle kids when he wants to

Thanks to DVR troubles
I missed the first ten minutes and last ten minutes of the game, Jackman seemed like he was punching Kane while he as on the ground, WTF was up with that? Sharp seemed to be trying to pretend he was Brouwer everytime he touched the puck. What is more frustrating? When Sharp blows a One on One, or when he blows the chance to blow a One on One? With Campbell having a goal tonight and Sharp not, and since Huet didn’t let in a goal what else is there to complain about? Did the officiating seem a bit weak to anyone else? I know I am missing roughly a whole period, so any other insights i can get from anyone? Hawks played pretty dam well (it seems) and I hope that Burish can spread some love Jackman’s way eventually.
wait what?
It was good to see Jackman get hammered by Byfuglien, at least. Thought it was funny how he picked on Kane, and then when he got hit, he started chasing the guy who hit him until he realized it was Byfuglien (who has 4 inches and 50 pounds on him), and then wimped out and let Crombeen and Winchester jump in for him. Imagine my surprise upon noticing this assclown wears an “A”. No wonder the Blues are tied for last in the West.
A few stats for all you Kane haters. +11, leads the team in goals, assists, points and last night he was easily the best Hawk on the ice. Not to mention nine of his goals are even strength. So much for you critics of his game. And believe me criticism is a good thing, when it’s deserved which is not the case with this guy, this year.
