It's absolutely amazing that the St. Louis Blues are doing so well and according to Cap Geek they've spent the least amount of money in the NHL.

Tarasenko is a massive reason behind that. He's playing out of his freaking mind.

It's a bunch of young players who haven't hit the jackpot yet. Once Pietrangelo alone gets paid, that's alone another $7 million.

Ryan Callahan will be out for two weeks.

Hell of a save by Crawford on the 5 on 3. Only thing I dont miss from Parise is that stuff play.

Watched that Chicago-Minny game. It was an entertaining game, but it was weird watching Parise in that green jersey. Funny how big of a man crush Pierre McGuire has on Dougie Hamilton. Even though he wasn't playing in the game last night, his name was mentioned 3 times as being "great" and a "future superstar in this league for a long time to come."

What caught me was how sedate the Minny crowd was. I'm assuming they had a sellout, and in a tight/exciting game they were pretty much silent.

Pierre's a bit like Ron Jaworski in that he makes it sound like every prospect is going to be a superstar. He gushed over Larsson as well.

The only exception is when he went on a rant about the Canadians drafting Carey Price:

Backes got tossed in the Blues-Wings game for a "hit to the head" when his check was CLEARLY to the chest.

Detroit scored the go-ahead goal on the ensuing 5-minute major power play.

Still 2:30 to go, but these refs have been overly sensitive & erring way too far on the side of caution this year, IMO.

Zetterberg gets an empty net, short handed goal, to seal the win for the Wings.

Shanahan should laugh at the match penalty tape for Backes tomorrow.

Bettman to henchmen:

"Are powerplays up this year?"

"Yes, Sir. Powerplays this season have so far matched the total amount of powerplays all last season."

"Excellent!"

Terrible night for the Refs. Simmonds got destroyed on one of the most obvious elbows you will see but there was no call. Simmonds never returned. Now Backes does absolutely nothing but is called for a head shot and gets ejected from the game and the Blues assessed a 5 min powerplay.

and how bout them Lighting

Insanity!

The call on Backes was maybe the worst hockey call I've ever seen, ever. He was FINISIHING HIS CHECK. Now you get 5 and a game for FINISHING YOUR CHECK? ARE YOU fvckING KIDDING ME?!!!!



He didn't leave his feet, he didn't target the head. It was a clean body check. These refs are fvcking clownshoes, even moreso than they usually are.

Nah, the non-call on Erskine was worse because of how the refs were positioned:

Absolutely no defense in this Rangers Lightning game, fun to watch.

. No way. Did you see the Backes play? There's no chance the Simmonds play was worse.

WOW, Nash just toasted Hedman with a speed move! got around him wide and just cut hard to the goal where he stuffed it.

Not sure if it is just me or not but does anyone else have an issue hearing Doc this year? The crowd and rink sounds are loud but I need to turn my TV up really loud to hear Doc clearly. Maybe it is just my TV but I feel the same way about the other TV at my house.

We are all going deaf!

...I have no problem hearing him. I just hate the MSG feed because you cant hear the play or crowd at all. CBC and TSN are the best.
