I got to about the 6th word in that link and realized it was definitely stupid and unfunny so I stopped.

I enjoyed it.

Great win tonight; always extra nice when we beat the Blackhawks.

Berglund actually playing in front of the net and Perron translating the puck skills and great hands into goals is what we needed last year. Perron looks much stronger on the puck and really seems like he could be an all-star level offensive player at some point.

Perron translating the puck skills and great hands into goals is what we needed last year. Perron looks much stronger on the puck and really seems like he could be an all-star level offensive player at some point.

He's thriving under Payne. Murray would probably bench him for being creative.

Good things thus far
1. Perron and Oshie - They're by far the most skilled players on the team and its a lot of fun to watch them together
2. Pietrangelo - He's outplaying Johnson and showing why he was the 4th overall pick.
3. Berglund - Finally using his body and that sweet shot.

Bad things
1. Penalty kill - They were awful last night and have been pretty bad for the year
2. Winchester - D.J. King should still be here. He'll score just as much (i.e. nothing) and at least be entertaining.
3. Boyes and Steen - They haven't been horrible but we need results from them. One and no goals is not acceptable.

Holy [expletive], nice save Johnny. Boyes needs to put that away.

Halak was standing on his head against the Pens...damn he's good.

Thrilling win again tonight! Awesome weekend for the Blues!

[JCShutout]

Yeah, not to get lost in the well-deserved Mizzou hoopla, great weekend by the Blues.

Great week. 3 games against the last two cup champs, and we come away with 5 points.

Jello is a completely different player this year than he was in his previous stints. So much more confidence. Pairing him with Jackman was a great move. Jackman covers for Jello's occasional (decreasing) defensive lapses, and Jello covers Jackman's struggles with moving the puck out of the zone and up the ice.

Just think--what if we get the type of goalie play out of Halak for a full season that we did out of Mason for the second half of '08-'09? Can this team be the kind of point machine that team became?

Petro has some of the best vision I've seen from a defenseman, especially such a young one. He really reminds me of a poor man's Scott Niedermayer.
