Future Blues

Yes, I did watch the Chicago game and the Blues played pretty well. I still think the Buffalo game was their best so far but I will never complain about beating the Blackhawks. What was interesting was watching the Chicago feed of the game since that is where I live. First off, their announcers are terrible. They barely say anything and when they do talk it is just a mumble here and there. The post game show was a little better. They were talking about how the Blackhawks just didn't have their legs because they played three games in four nights. Never mind that the Blues had the same schedule. Actually every time I watch the Blues on Center Ice with the away feed the announcers say the same thing. Something like, "It's just one of those games where the blank are out of gas from playing so much".

Guess again mullethead, that's just St. Louis Blues defense.

Your post about the personnel decisions the Blues will be making soon deserves much analysis. We should throughout the season post comparisons of the Blues various options. My gut feeling is that Rucinsky, Weight, Mike Johnson, Hinote, and McClement will all be gone. Of those McClement brings the most to the table but I think he just a poor man's Oshie and you're right, Oshie will be on the team next year. I think he should just take McClement's spot.

I am guessing Weight will retire but anything is possible. We will have to dig deeper on this.
