2014-2015 Blues (Hockey) Season

We got hosed today. Abdelkader's game winner was played with a broken stick.

If I had more than my iPad, I'd share the overhead gif. Perhaps someone else can pick me up?

It's [expletive], he clearly broke the stick on Elliott's left pad, but he did a good job of holding it together until after the play. Bad luck, but another road point.

I know they had said that it wasn't a "reviewable" play, but I thought all goals scored were reviewed?

The stick breaking isn't reviewable; they can review whether the puck crossed the line, if there was high-sticking, a "distinct" kicking motion, time of the goal, whether the net was off it moorings... but not if a broken stick was used?

Makes total sense....thanks Betmann.

I'm interested to see how Hitch handles his excess of quality (well, NHL viable) defensemen. I really like the way Bortuzzo has played in a 3rd pairing role, he brings a level of toughness missing from our top 6. Petro, Bouwmeester, Shattenkirk, Gunnarson, Jackman, Michalek, Bortuzzo ... Lindbohm & Butler.

Gunny hasn't been what I thought he'd be. I'm sure part of it is the injuries, but the way he just let his man park in the crease for the GWG against CBJ was disappointing.

I think I'd take just about every D-man we have except for maybe Butler over him right now.

I'm really trying not to be a Debbie Downer, but this is sure starting to feel like the way we went into the playoffs last year.

That's one way to look at it....another way would be they seem to be sucking at the wrong time again.

Trying to be the anti-Blues fan. Aka, positive and hopeful. Woo! Tarasenko and Steener injuries are just a way to get enough rest before the big show! YAY!

Tarasenko's 15-game hand injury didn't slow him down against Chicago last year.

EVERYTHING IS OKAY HERE, MOVE ALONG, DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE PLEASE.

Tonight's game is fraking insane. 3 goals are scored in the first 38 seconds of the second period. The Blues go from up 3-1, to down 5-3, to now up 6-5 with about 6 min left. Crazy.

EDIT: 7-5 winner. Schwartz with a hattie, though the 3rd was an ENG.
