Schedule is out, so hopefully we can leave the ol' "lockout" thread behind.

Man, I hope the Blues are able to lock this team up - these guys are so much fun to watch because we've watched the whole lot of them grow up here.
Just run down the lines and all of these guys were either drafted here, acquired in their very early 20s or have been here for 4 years or so. Perron - Backes - Oshie; completely homegrown 1st line, all drafted by the Blues. McDonald - Steen - Tank; Mcdonald is amazingly in his 6th year here, Steen his 5th and Tank was drafted by the Blues. Schwartz - Berglund - Stewart; Schwartz and Berglund are Blues draft picks, Stewart is as close to a mercenary as we have, only in his 3rd year here and an absolutely ancient 23 yrs old when we picked him up via trade. Sobotka - Nichol - Reaves; Sobotka in his 3rd season, acquired by trade as a 22 yr old, Reaves was a draft pick and Scotty Nichol is veteran depth. 4 of the Defenseman (Petro, Cole, Jax and Polak) are draftees w/ Shattenkirk and Russell being acquired via trade at 22 and 24 respectively. It's just been a very fun team to watch grown and develop. You hope like hell they can keep guys like Berglund, Shat-dueces and Petro for another 4-5 years and if they're lucky maybe they can get Stewart in there as well. Guys like Polak, Perron, Oshie and Backes still have 3+ years on their deals and Schwartz/Tank aren't even RFAs for several seasons. It's could be a potentially elite, almost entirely homegrown/home developed squad. That's just awesome to root for.

I hate to say this and admit it, but I moked the hell out of the Blues when they bright in Hitch. But he has done one hell of a job.

Whoo Avs. I'm kind of expecting them to get destroyed tonight, but hopefully it's a fun game anyway.

Just like last year... get shutout for 2 periods and then take care of business in the 3rd.

If Duchene wasn't awake before Doughty's slapshot, he is now.

For anyone who might care, after a pretty terrible experience with Center Ice (with TWC) last season, GameCenter has been great. Great picture, and I really like the mosaic view. Four games at once, and even though the picture isn't as good (unless I guess you have a great download speed), it's good enough and switching audio is seamless. Not that many people use it, but it's better than espn3 and so far it hasn't even been close. Just downloaded it to my phone, too, and it looks great. Waiting for the ps3 app, which is due 2/1.

Blues came on like gangbusters in the 3rd and ALMOST sent it in to OT losing by a goal to the Hawks.

They played decent in the middle of the first and start of the second. They had a horrible breakdown on the Zajac goal. Typical Flyers third period where they were more interested in being tough guys than actually trying to comeback, thus throwing the entire period away to penalty minutes. Watching them melt down certainly entertains me.

Don't understand the hostility towards Suter. He left about as amicably as you can. Preds fans should be angrier at Weber than Suter, who wasn't unrestricted, signed for more money (and clearly just FOR the $), and made less Pred-friendly comments during the process.
