You got PEPSI to mix with Morgan?? What the..

Sometimes I wish I was a NHL Hockey player at a nice young age of 21, temporarily hurt and having to do autograph signings at stores and different locations.. I mean I like to talk to people, I'm a people person damnit!! Here's a nice pic sent in from my friend who I told to run an errand to the Walmart down the street from my house.. Hopefully he starts skating this week, and the Blues can get their scoring back on track..

Blues gutted out a win last night, by not scoring any goals in the game, or in overtime, but instead decided to put on a show in the Shootout to get their 9th point out of a possible 10 pts. So they've won 4 of their last 5 games. Mainly the goaltending duo has carried the load.

Like I tell all my college buddies who are freaking out in Sioux country right now. "If your team doesn't score 2 or more goals, your team won't be in contention most nights." So don't blame the goalie. Hockey isn't like Football or whatever those sports that have them coaches that says: "Defense wins championships!" Last time I checked a 0-0 game is always decided by someone scoring. Goalies aren't given points for saving so many shots.. (Although the NCAA, and WCHA, should look into that, as a way of getting more points on the board! HA HA... Every 40 Shots per game = 1 goal?) Maybe then "defense might win you something???"

ANYWAYZ, back on topic... This heated trade, that to me isn't much to talk about.. But to some Blues fans, they're acting like the team just traded of Sid the Kid for a couple of has been's!! Get real folks! Whoever thinks the Maple Leafs got a great deal is sadly mistaken. And now more and more these high paid sports writers are starting to agree with me.. Bernie thinks its a great move for the Blues, and Damien the Leaf's writer thinks the Leaf's soon to be fired GM is screwing the franchise in more then 1 way.. So again my take is it's win win for both teams.... But the Blues have a better opportunity in the future.

Tonight, the Blues are going to get them some Nordiques! Errr Colorado Avalanche's..... With the help of their 2 newly acquired players in Alex Steen and that Coli guy (I'm too lazy to copy and paste his name. Carlo Colaiacovo There I did it.) I found it humorous that the Pred's got beat by 9 rookies last night.

And tonight, will be a mile stone for Sr. Tkachuck (Walt's great, but this is kinda cool)... You know you’re getting old when . . .

Tkachuk played with Thomas Steen, Alex’s dad, in Winnipeg.

Tkachuk has played in 1,074 NHL games. The combined total of the other 11 forwards in Tuesday’s game at Nashville . . . 1,105.

Here’s the breakdown: Brad Boyes (265), Jay McClement (248), David Backes (140), Cam Janssen (125), Brad Winchester (122), David Perron (80), Yan Stastny (66), B.J. Crombeen (26), Steve Regier (22), Chris Porter (6) and Cam Paddock (5).

Onto the analysis of the game tonight:

It's tough to say the Av's are on their heals, and the Blues have momentum, but have 2 new players in the lineup..... Brother's Paul and Yan Statsny play against eachother for the 1st time ever in the NHL.. Yan the elder, and Paul the younger.. I'm reminded that this morning my brother and I faced-off against eachother for the 1st time in Wii, and the younger got the better of the elder.. I'm going to say the elder gets the better of the younger tonight.. JR interviews the 2 here, and the closing of the interview has some nice sibling rivalry:

Any last words for each other?
Yan: “Keep your head up.”
Paul: “I will.”
Good Stuff.

Blues continue to win, as Manny Legace is 12-3 against his former team..
