St. Louis Blues 2010 Regular Season Thread

Whew, 1 out of 4 possible points against Min... ouch.

[JackofDiamonds]

Oof.

Nice win tonight.

The Blues really know how to torment a fan base.

Don't look now but Patrik Berglund is starting to perform up to expectations.

In his last 13 games he has 7 goals, 6 assists, and 13 points. And he's only been a -2 in that span.

I really hope he kicks it in gear and gets another 25 points through the final 27 games in the season. If he can eclipse his points total from his rookie season and show some progress this year I'll be really excited about him in the coming years.

They probably need 36 points in their last 27 games. That's like 19-8. In 2008-09 they went 18-6-3 in their last 27 games, scoring 2.74 and allowing 2.26 goals per game (as opposed to 2.89 and 3.13 in the first 55). As good as we remember Mason being, Blues goalies only had a .917 SV% over that time. This was much better than the first 55 games where they had only a .893 SV%, but that number isn't beyond what Jaro and Conklin are capable of. During his best stretch of 27 games last year, Jaro had a .932 SV%. We'll need something similar to get in the playoffs this year.

Brewer to Tampa Bay, eh? For who?

[MrCrowesGarden]

Rutherford says it's no one on the Lightning's current roster.

Have to hope it's their 1st round pick (and maybe more).

Good luck to Brewer in Tampa. He was very good when he was finally healthy.

EDIT: Looks like it's a 2nd. Pretty disappointed in that.

[MrCrowesGarden]

Wow, this keeps changing. From the latest reports, Brewer is bringing in a 3rd rounder and Brock Beukeboom (8th rated prospect in the Lightning system, given a 7.0 C grade by Hockey's Future).
