Welcome back PLD! Love the goal with the man up, but god damn our PP sucks.. They should find a new PP coach during the break. They've already tried all the player combo's we have. They have to try something else. They don't even know how to get in the zone 75% of the time.
-
The radio crew interviewed Sandin during the break. Asked him if it’s getting a little testy out there regarding his hit late, Sandin said he barely touched the guy.
-
Out of curiosity, are you still gonna scream "O" during the natl anthem after ov retires? Or is there another reason you do it?
-
I’ve never done it. Not fond of the practice.
I do think it was a copy of what Oriole fans were doing in Baltimore, not fond of it there either.

I'm not sure which beat writer in St Louis wrote it but I heard a rumbling of Jordan Kyrou to the Caps with Rasmus Sandin in return
Kyrou is fast and can be a 30 goal scorer and I eould LOVE sandin on the Blues however I don't want the Caps to lose Sandin nor deal with Kyrou as he "can" be a 30 goal scorer but he just... isn't and at 8.25/yr for the next 5 or 6 yrs ..

25 year old Sandin has three years left under contract at $4.6M per
Kyrou is under contract for 5 more years. I don’t see many teams taking that unless St Louis retains a lot of salary.

Oh trust me...we Blues fans know...this is Doug Armstrong's last year as a GM and we're all pissed how he's fuck this team up after winning the cup...

Hockey bounce :poop: on LT's night.. Need to play better D in the 3rd! Fortunate to have the worst lead in hockey.
Somebody may regret not signing Cub for the next 2 weeks.. His D hasn't been super stellar lately, but his O is elite.

Finally a legit PP goal, when it was needed!! Hope they get a good rest. 5 points out. Not impossible, but.. We'll see. Dubois made a difference. Get McMike back in for Lappi and see what they got down the stretch!
When do the mens games actually start for the Olympics?
-
According to the interwebs, men’s hockey starts Feb 11 with the gold medal game scheduled for Feb 22.
Man my fingers hurt.
Opening ceremony is tomorrow.

Nice win. Willy scores, PLD scores, Chicky...that dude. PPG scored technically two, but the PLD goal was just kind of a weird bounce with a nice shot at end of an absolutely atrocious PP.
Not really our best game overall, but a win is a win. We got some bounces and LT saved our bacon multiple times. PLD back helps - at least with manpower. Like to see McMike on line with Sourdiff and Lenny - pretty speedy and skilled guys (if they can keep it in the O end of the ice)
Good to go to break with a win for sure.
