2013: The NHL season that almost wasn't

Would you prefer Mike Milbury and Keith Jones?

Blues outshooting the Wings 17-2 in the first period as Detroit is struggling to do much of anything, trouble clearing, trouble setting up on power plays, trouble stopping St. Louis in the neutral zone.

EDIT: and now it's 3-0 as Vladimir Taresenko has two goals on two shots in his NHL debut

 

6-0 now. Love seeing the Blues bitchslap Detroit. "We want the Cup" chants in St. Louis on opening night is great to hear -- providing we don't see the traditional playoff choke job.

 

As a Stars fan, I couldn't have been more impressed with Jaromir Jagr tonight. Two goals, two assists and an immediate chemistry with Loui Eriksson in a 4-3 win over Phoenix.

 

My comment wasn't about replacements. And Jones is OK. Milbury is a clown.

And while we're at it, HNIC should get rid of PJ Stock

 

At 41 Jagr can still bring it. Did he have his mullet?

 

Schneider out after allowing three goals in 3:04. Luongo in. A Canucks fan is moving in with me soon. This should be a fun season.

 

Canucks will play 5 games in next 9 days. I wonder if there will be a goalie controversy in Vancouver?

Oh, and Leafs beat the Habs 2-1 in their opener in Montreal. Now all the loser Leafs haters will start in about "they're planning the parade"

 

Nah. Unpossible.

 

Kevin Weekes is the worst

 

I don't agree. Weekes's worst fault is that he's Greg Millen-ish. Bland

PJ Stock & Healy had a pissing match all night and Healy reminds me of that angry guy in a bar who's ready to start a fight at the drop of the puck. That said, I'd still take him over PJ who's just a loudmouth

Problem is there are too many guys on that panel. Five, including Ron. Drop one and give Elliotte more air time.
