2016-2017 Blues (Hockey) Season

[MrCrowesGarden]

He looked pretty good in the part of the game I watched. Had one heck of a shift in the 3rd. I know the knock was never on his effort, more his hockey sense.

Schwartz expected back for tomorrow's game.

Semi OT, but I thought this was an interesting concept. Build your ultimate hockey team, but you can only use one player per country.

I think he's absolutely right for using Bobby Orr over Gretzky, and I'd definitely leave the goalies as is too. In fact, I'm pretty sure my team looks strikingly similar.

Interesting!

Is Modano really the best that the US can put out there?

At forward, yes. He could be eclipsed by Patrick Kane eventually... unless you think he's already there. You could argue for Chelios or Leetch on D.

Does Brett Hull count for Canada?

[GeddyWrox]

Also, I think my hatred for Modano was skewing my perception of his overall career. I forgot just how good he actually was. I just remember that ugly [expletive] face. LOL

[JCShutout]

Yeah, Modano was dominant. Hull would count for Canada, but don't forget Lemieux, and a ton of others. Orr makes sense though, he was just so head and shoulders above everyone else. 924 points in 631 games, as a defenseman!!! Kane eventually takes over for Modano as the US best, which sucks for the US, because Kane seems like a dick.

Yak scores against Edm! 1-0 Blues!

We should've called it after that.
