It’s hockey time again tonight!
The Stars are coming off a great victory last night, but you know they’re going to have to be pretty tired after flying into St. Louis after their 6-4 victory over Nashville yesterday. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Marty get the start tonight since he didn’t play so well last night and back-to-back games are usually the best time to let the backup see some ice time.
St. Louis has started the season significantly better than last year. Their power play is right at 50%, so hopefully the Stars won’t take a lot of penalties. I think the Stars penalty kill is going to take some time to gel with the absences of Stu and Jeffy playing center on the PK and Hagman with all of his shorties last year. Hopefully the goon of the night yesterday (Brenden) can keep himself out of the box.
For all you Otter loving fans, as of this morning, his start is still questionable. Apparently he did make the trip to St. Louis though, so that ups his chances of playing tonight. I don’t know who they will take out if Ott does play tonight though. Brunnstrom certainly won’t be the healthy scratch. I can hope that it’ll be Avery, but it’s probably more likely to be Barch.
My pick to score last night didn’t work out, but tonight I’m trying again and going with Mike Ribeiro. He hasn’t looked so great this season, and I think a goal tonight would really help him out.
And I don’t think Brunnstrom will be getting another hat trick tonight. I just hope he consistently gets points for us. As long as he’s a consistent producer, he’ll live up to his hype for me

I’m glad to hear Otter made the trip to St. Louis. Games just aren’t the same without his chirping.
Wah! Otter is still out with an “undisclosed” injury. Booo! But thank for sending him a little love!
Boy, I miss Hagman’s shorties.
And going back a post, I vote for Bunny too. I tried using Brunny but it just seemed wrong. And after all, he is a cute little bunny. I can’t decide who has the bigger or better smile, him or James Neal.
Boo indeed! I’ll always have love for Ott!
And oh man, I know – Bunny has the best smile. The pics of him immediately after scoring hat trick goal #3 make me melt every time.
I tried Myra! I thought that if I mentioned him, he might end up playing. Obviously my powers of suggestion aren’t that strong.
But ugh, I don’t even want to talk about last night.
