Maybe. Can only hope.

You know - with a full off season to work on his game - I think Soderblum is going to be solid in net next year.

Watching Leddy and Saad play keep away from the Hawks is kind of sad.
- ObeseOprah

I like Leddy and Saad. Both good players Hated them with the Hawks

Where are Paryako and Neighbors? The Neighbor's kid is a fun little player getting under everyone's skin and chipping in.
- Mr Ricochet

Neighbors is injured. Got hit into the boards a couple games back and his bucket hit the dashers. I thought concussion. Back of the head hitting the dashers. They say he is day to day. BS.

Make this rebuild another 3-5 years. Pathetic!
- Lauerg

Between the Blues and Blackhawks both should be a rebuild for 3-5 years.

That little chump on St Louis Perunovich was holding onto the back of Bedard’s jersey on that Kurashev breakaway. Still truly hate this team. Love that them, Minnesota, and Nashville will never be bad enough to get that elite top pick. Feels great.
- ObeseOprah

Perunovich is nothing special. Not sure how I feel about him. Injuries stunted his growth for years. Not impressed with him at all. Makes me happy that the Blues will never be as bad as the Blackhawks have been recently.

Not competing for a Cup in year 2 of a rebuild = Epic KFC Fail
- HawkintheD

Yep, the rebuild after the Hull/Stosh years was waaay quicker. This current one is (frank)ing glacial!!!

How's it going, Droogie? Hopefully we can regenerate some solid hockey hate in a few years when both teams are better.

Still fun watching these two teams but it seems the rivalry is between the fans more!!! You guys have Bedard. Your next Kane Blues have grunts like Toropchenko. Kids good. Blues have contracts that have screwed them. Draft isn’t much. All later picks. No diamonds in the rough. Snuggerud might be good but he is still in college for next season. I don’t understand the need to let Petro go over half a million and a no trade when they signed Faulk and Krug to those terms the talk of trading Parayko away has disturbed me. It’s like it’s going back to the late 80’s when both teams in a few years will be good. The old Norris days ha ha

Thought the 2nd period KK was as consistently dangerous as he's been as a Hawk. They turned him loose down 4-zip and the kid started hanging around the attack crease, jumping in, carrying the thing in, throwin it into traffic in the slot lookin for a bounce/tip/deflection, looking to get off a 1 timer..... A little window of what might be with the kid.

The STL broadcast is really good. Too bad we had to take Panger to make that happen.

Jason Richardinson is fuming after that game. I asked what was discussed at the first intermission:

“What needs to be said? I don’t think anything needs to be said. Embarrassing first period. We had 1 shot, maybe 3 shot attempts, we’re down 4-0… What needs to be said?”

Seems to have been a theme all year. Interesting to see how KD retools the team next year.

Stl Broadcast is John Kelly and Jamie rivers. I miss Panger but I like rivers. Dude took a shot to the chest and had a heart thing on ice. Came back to St. Louis. I love the blues alumni

It makes the most sense to me to draft Demidov, Eiserman, Lindstrom then a dman: this is how I rank them.

Drafting Catton is just not the best choice. If you can draft a scorer or big center instead, do so. If Celebrini goes first and we draft 5th, I sure hope one among Demidov, Eiserman or Lindstrom is available come our selection. Not unreasonable someone takes one or more dmen in top five, right?

If we draft 3rd or fourth we may find the second or third most coveted forward (KD’s) ready to be snatched up

There was a point where Vosters asked him about golf and it was silent for what seemed like 2 mins before Panger finally responded like wtf is wrong with this guy.

Frozen Four semi-finals tonight. Underdog Michigan vs BC at 630 pm Central on ESPN 2. It might be Nazar'z last game at Michigan. We'll know soon.

The Hawks need a goal scorer and a RHD, I'd be ok if they drafted either Eiserman, Demidov or Levshunov. I understand the allure of drafting Lindstrom, but he doesn't address the team's most immediate needs nor is he the best playing available in the top 4.

Vlasic and Jones to play for USA in next month's World Championships.

Ludwinski assigned to Rockford.

If the choice is between Levshunov or Lindstrom, I would concede the RH dman makes more sense. He is too good and RH dmen are not abundant. The big center will have to come some other time
Perhaps we could benefit if there is someone as a big center or scorer who hasn’t quite turned the corner while could be had for Phillips. Their frustrating pllayer for our equally frustrating player

Magic number for next to last is two points. Any regulation loss for the Hawks or regulation win for the Ducks will do it.

Rockford plays Friday and Saturday so I will keep an eye on his possible debut

Time to start working on those expansion protection lists for a few years down the road.

Jones (NMC), Bedard, Vlasic, Korchinski, Nazar, Reichel, Moore, Commesso

DelMastro, Kaiser, Allan, Ludwinski, Greene, Hayes, wind up on other teams.

Don't give me a watered down league (to the tune of The Guess Who Hand Me Down World)
