The Blues Race To The Bottom

All I can say is thank God the Blues made the first round draft choice they sent to Colorado in the Stewart/Shattenkirk trade conditional. Right now we would own the #9 selection in the draft, and I have every reason to believe the Blues will be in "competition" for a top five pick when all is said and done.

Right on cue, the Blues dropped another two points tonight when veteran defenseman Barret Jackman forgot how to defend a two-on-one break. Instead of making the puck handler shoot the puck while giving the goalie a clean look at it, Jackman decided the situation was best defended by genuflecting the way a 10 year old Catholic school boy does before the altar when he knows Sister Mary Severity is looking on.

Well done, Mr. Jackman. Well done.
