Yes, and I believe he will stay up.

Same question. Al Mac said that management would discuss it after the game.

Not only that, he made a great pass while getting hooked to set up the five on three where they scored their first goal. Without him being able to get Weight that pass, they only get a 5 on 4 powerplay and might not have scored. He also made a great pass the shift before that (to Rucinsky?) for a mini breakaway. He could have easily had an assist or two. And he looks very calm on the PP with the puck. Both stick handling and passing. I'm glad I thought to tape the game last night. It stopped recording just before his interview. Luckily, that's just when I tuned into the game, so I got to see it. How in the hell did Rucinsky miss the net on that one? That was a great setup, can't believe I forgot to throw that in there.

Murray tries not to lose, he doesn't try to win. There's a big difference between the two and it's a big part of the reason why the NHL got unbearable to watch before the lockout.

Bullshit. I'm glad David had 2 ginos but a one-goal lead against Detroit isn't a given, so keep the guys that are checkers out there. This won't be his last chance at a hattie. I agree that nothing is a given, especially against Detroit, but even with a neutral zone faceoff and 12 ticks on the clock would have been a nice gesture. Better than having the same guys out for 2+ minutes of the last three. Murray just doesn't do those little "player friendly" things.

Not only that, he made a great pass while getting hooked to set up the five on three where they scored their first goal. Without him being able to get Weight that pass, they only get a 5 on 4 powerplay and might not have scored.

Typical of Andy Murray to not give a young guy a chance at the hat trick with the empty net. David didn't see the ice in the last three minutes or so.

First of all, any NHL player is better than we are, but that's not really the point. Looked like David was being hooked when he scored the first one, resulting in Hasek not reading the shot correctly. Second one was similar to Tkachuk's goal, that was as easy an any goal gets at the NHL level. That said, it doesn't matter how you score, just how many you score. I'm pulling for David to score another one or two tonight, just like most of us here.

Thank babelfish, not me. If you read it with a Denis Lemieux type accent it's even funnier.

And a typically painful online translation:

Murray has had a tendency in the past to roll four lines all game long.

You roll your three scoring lines and then use the fourth line sparingly. That fourth line has some great role players but with those three scoring lines the fourth line will have to kill penalties and find their minutes where they can.

I know? That was why i went in and found a prostock Kovalev on patterndb? Kovalev pro has more of a rocker on the bottom if I recall. Inno used to make the pro Kovy available at times, good luck finding one of them though.

Those would look stellar with the MSH jerseys

Do you know anything? David is getting a better experience practicing every day at the NHL level and at the NHL pace and observing and being around other professional NHL playesr than he would get walking a bunch of kids in the Q. Get real. This is easily the best route for him and when there are injuries (which there will be) he'll be the most ready to step in that he can be. Two different schools of thought. I have always believed that it is better to be playing than to be watching. I also don't believe a prospect should be living in the press box for depth. That is a job for a journeyman or AHL call up. I guess that's why Andy Murray and co. are in the Employee of the St. Louis Blues and you are not. The Q isn't going to help David at this point. His weight and strength training he's doing during practice is worth 10x the experience he would get with another year in the Q. No matter how good a practice may be, it is not substitute for game action.

Wouldn't the DMV (or whatever you guys call it down there) be able to tell you what the hold up is on your plates? That's just about the only nice thing about PA, we can do most of that stuff online.

They would look a lot better if they were normal great whites too, so what?

The cops didn't do anything wrong in how they handled him in this case. The info they got didn't match what was sitting in front of them. The actual issue would be if they were randomly run plates without any probable cause however there are several legitimate possible reasons for doing that.

David has only played in one game. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=3792

Pro, just happened to be my size. I could use a bit more depth through the foot though. I'm starting to hope again now that Wirtz is dead and Pulford has been reassigned.

Usually you can get one but the protection is fairly limited.

In the summer

He had 34 seconds in his first regular season game. The Blues looked really bad on the PP for most of that game. They had issues getting the puck into the zone with possession.

David did better than the guy interviewing him. How many times should one person have to answer a question about being nervous?
