Gonna try and get a full game thread up but being in the boondocks has made it tough just getting this up. Grrrs.

Hope y'all had a great Christmas. Time to get back at it and get 2 points! Go Stars Go!

St. Louis has been one of the top teams in the league this year, especially since Hitchcock took over. Just imagine what their record would be if Halak wasn't throwing games earlier in the year.

Anything the Stars can get out of this one will be a bonus.

MetalGodAOD · 12-26-2011, 12:06 AM

At the same time we have a really good record vs St Louis for w/e reason. Granted that was before the Hitchcock era. This will be a tough 1 goal game most likely.

Go Stars!

Let's get back to some hockey! Go Stars Go!!!

catters078 · 12-26-2011, 01:17 AM

I see the blues as a team we will be competing against for a playoff spot come seasons end..hopefully we can get the win, but cant surrender more than 2 goals if were to have a chance.
