Another season upon us. That means more hopes and dreams comin right up.
Good looking club, HOPEFULLY one of the best front 9 we've ever had, and some of that is still probably not set.
It's a good, fast D that will have it's hands full come playoff time.
And what's a Blues team without questions at net. Hope this is Ell's year all year and that the kid behind him is for real.
And I don't care about points or Division titles....just get in the playoffs and stay in the playoffs.
GO BLUE!

Have they announced who the "C" will be? If Backes, start looking forward to the 2015 - 2016 season. Unless they can overcome that, it will be no more than one round and done in the playoffs. He's a great player but kills them with the "C" on his sweater. If he had an once of intelligence to go with all of that God-given talent, he would tell Hitch to give it to someone else... How much better would he be if he could just focus on playing and recusing stray animals in the backstreets and alleys of NHL cities... 
Go Blues!!!

Welp, Berglund is the same old thing. Plays hard when the spirit moves him and then goes flat more often than not. You would think the first period of the first game of the season, against one of the teams in the Cup finals would be motivation enough to play like your life depended on it. I guess not. He was the primary reason for Nash's first goal. I guess the concept of skating hard and giving it 100% any time you are on the ice, still eludes him. I hope Hitchcock benches him for Saturday's game...
I forgot how horrific the officiating was in the NHL. Last night was a great reminder. Hard to watch any HNL game any more.

nhl refs may be the worst, but nfl refs, so far this season, are closing fast.
Lot's of good signs with last nights game. I liked the new additions, El's played pretty solid and the main thing wrong was Blues just not quite in sync....yet.
I think it will be a fun team to follow. I think in general we can jump up and down and scream and yell and cheer all we want for 80 games but in the end, we will all be waiting to see what actually happens in the post season, the season that will tell the true story of the here to fore luckless Blues.
I'll be doing all that, no matter.
And the new uni's?
They blew it. One of the best logos in all of sports and they can't get it right.

Looked pretty good the last two games, even being depleted. They almost have enough talent to overcome the dog whisperer as Captain and Berglund being on the roster...

Some of these goals by Tarasenko are incredible....not talking about the ones with a great move attached either but just the straight on shots......this guy could get to 50 if they can't learn to catch up to his puck. Or better yet keep him from shooting.
How bout that camera shot of Hull up in the booth after the win? Was he drunk again or just the same knucklehead he's always been?
Brett, we WON.

That was priceless. I was with some buds and almost everyone of us said the same thing, "I wonder if he's drunk or really just doesn't give two chits..." I don't think anyone would have been too concerned if he didn't jump out of his seat but you had to wonder if he was even at the game mentally...
Tarasenko should be the "C" for this team. He is the best player and he is a natural leader. After hearing how he conducts himself and how he treats everyone from the janitor to the owner, I think it is clear to say he gets it. That would also free up more time for the Dog-whisperer to concentrate on his 37 pets and finding more in the back alleys of STL...

If you believe the nicest guy on the team should be Captain have at it. Some teams do that. Wouldn't surprise me if he didn't want it either.
Either way, I won't argue anything about Senko. I like everything about that kid.

You know, what this team really needs is a decent goailie.
Of course, like I said last year, we've had him all along.
You guys are boneheads.

Then why did he choke so bad the last two times he was asked to carry the water, in the playoffs?
I'm his biggest fan but I can't pretend I didn't see what I saw. He was given the reigns and simply didn't rise to the occasion. Let's hope he's grown enough to handle it this time around.
Watching the NJ game right now. They really needed to go into this 3rd period with a lead. Going to be tough to keep up with NJ's fresh legs. Short shifts and fundamentals!!
Go Blues!!!!!

Good win for the Note and Tarasenko the Sniper does it again. The Russky should have been the lead in Enemy at the gates!

I got to see the goal before the duck hunting wake up call caught up with me and I fell asleep. I think there were 5 mins to go, when I faded... Had to check the interweb to make sure they won, before going to bed... 
Most impressive last night was the effect that rolling 4 lines has on a team. If they can't do that, this team would have faded hard in the 3rd period. As it was, they skated hard to the end (or at least until I fell asleep). Impressive win, coming off an OT game the night before.
Jake Allen looked darn good too...

They just throttled the offensive life out of the Devils. The commentators just kept talking about it. I think they said the Blues only turned the puck over once. You're right in that everyone contributed. They are tough when they play smart.

On paper they are the best team in hockey......period. Now we'll see if they can learn to play together every night.
This one is squarely on Hitchcock.
