    Followed DP since his draft year on here.

    Have always followed the Oilers so easy for me.

    I think this will work out well for David as he is a good fit for the Oilers. Looked like last season's lockout cost him some foot speed which I am sure a summer of crazy perron off ice training will put right. Can't wait to see what he does in EDM.

    The white skates are back!

    David Perron is in town, and so are his whites skates. The Blues forward confirmed that he does plan to wear the white skates - the ones that made so many headlines three years ago - this season.

    Perron said that he doesn't want his skate color to become a big story, but with former coach Andy Murray's famous disapproval of Perron's white skates when he broke into the league, it seems like Perron has no choice in this one.

    They will catch fans' attention.

    "Reebok came to me and they wanted me to try (the white skates)," Perron said. "So far, I've got them. We'll see. I don't think it makes a difference if your skates are white or silver or black or gray. You can look in the room; they're all different callers. Obviously they're a little different, but I think it's fun to be different."

    "Kid Line" back together tonight...Andy Murray looking for a spark. Also had an equipment guy skate around the locker room burning sage...(in the Strickland blog).

    Should be a fun game to watch...been a while since we've seen Perron with Berglund and Oshie.

    It won't be Andy Murray looking for a spark - he has been fired! :D

    what a fantastic goal by David in the 1st period tonight in Nashville. He brings the puck up the sideboards, reverses, goes back down below the redline - with Shea Weber hanging on him - drives back up towards the goal, cuts in front and rips a wrist shot over Pekka Rinne's shoulder. That's the David Perron we all love in St. Louis

    The goal made TSN highlight of the night - http://watch.tsn.ca/featured/clip139616#clip139616

    good thing he was wearing a visor. cracked right in half

    What?

    Couldn't find anything but saw a pic on the Post-Dispatch of him taking a blocker shot to the face from Budaj - that broke his visor in half?

    Looks like his nose is still taking quite a mashing.

    Matt D'Agostini caught a PUCK squared between the eyes on Friday night in Buffalo...didn't crack the visor...but obviously pushed it back on his face enough that it bloddied his nose....if that punch cracked David's visors...that one hell of a punch.

    And the coaches always tell you good things happen when you drive to the net.....

    This made me laugh....

    Alex Pietrangelo will play his second preseason game, after netting two assists Tuesday night.

    Here’s a quick story involving Pietrangelo: Murray was all over the 18-year-old’s case a few days ago. According to Murray, he was “barking” at Pietrangelo about his lack of intensity in practice.

    “When I went to the blackboard, Walt and Paul and Jacks and Brew . . . they’re all kind of sitting there chuckling,” Murray said. “They finally said, ‘Boy are Erik Johnson and David Perron ever happy that Alex is here’.”

    Doesn't it just make your day when you find that one extra long stick at the bottom of the barrel? If they had extra long Ultra Lites I could die a happy man. The blue X's look very slick by the way.

    I shipped 3 across to the UK (via a friend in the US) from eastwesthockey, the only place I could find them with the right blade and flex and extra long but very happy to get them and at just $99 each.

    This has been going on for a while with Murray and as I said in my post I know its the show etc and winning is all that counts but Murray is clearly playing games here (IMHO). I don't think Murray liked all the attention from the Montreal media that Perron got which probably did not help. Time will tell...

    From http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/morning-s...me-to-montreal/

    Blues rookie David Perron is being treated like a Beatle here in Montreal. The native of nearby Sherbrooke, Quebec, was on every television screen in town last night and today he must have done 15 interviews at the Bell Centre, bouncing back and forth between French and English.

    Two years ago, Perron was playing Tier 2 Junior hockey and tonight he’ll be skating on the ice of the team he watched growing up, the Montreal Canadiens. Perron will be facing his favorite player in the NHL, Alexei Kovalev. Asked if this was a dream today, Perron said: “That’s exactly what it is.”

    Perron got his hands on about 20 tickets for tonight’s game but there will be many more family and friends in attendance. How much is the bill for the tickets? “Uh, I didn’t even look,” Perron said.

    He better look at his credit card statement before he buys the tickets. The story has already circulated that on Sunday night, the Blues spent $39,000 at the team’s annual rookie dinner, in which the rookies pick up the tab. Perron apparently was on the hook for $13,000 of that bill.

    He doesn’t seem to be worried about that stuff right now. Perron has had March 18 marked on his calendar since the summer, even before he made the roster in training camp.

    “The schedule got out the same week as the (development camp) and I saw Montreal in March,” Perron said. “I said, ‘I hope that I can play in this game if I make the team.’ It’s just great to be here.”

    Perron admits that his adrenaline will be free-flowing. Andy Murray had a talk with him after the morning skate and you can bet the conversation was about keeping his emotions in check.

    “I think that’s why he wants to start me on the fourth line tonight,” Perron said. “Just take some pressure off me. He said, ‘Just play your game. You know how to play with these guys. Put the puck in their zone, be physical and be good defensively and we’ll see what’s going to happen.”

    It appears that Perron will be playing on a line with D.J. King and Yan Stastny tonight.

    Positive words from Andy Murray at last!

    “The Perron-Boyes-Kariya line was effective,” Murray said. “I thought they had lots of ofefnsive zone time. I thought Paul was around the puck more last night. He didn’t show any shots on the score sheet, but I thought he was around the puck more. I thought David was real effective. Brad had two goals, but could have had five. So that line was effective.”
