i cleary can see you were’nt paying attention to the game or hockey in general. you have too much pride to even sniff at giving a blues player an ounce of credit. damien brunner? this years fabian brunnstrom?

Okay I’ll bite, added him to my fantasy team, but only because he’s getting time on the PP and is on a solid team. A player like him on a crappy team would hurt my plus/minus. I dropped Seabrook for him, so he better get me some points tonight!

Just let someone in the east win the President’s trophy. That thing is an f’ing albatross.

I am hoping he is a more complete player than Hull, I realize that isn’t setting the bar particularly high in terms of multiple skills, but still.

That is because 6 of their 9 goals have been on the PP or SH.

Pretty sure Tootoo missed him because Tarasenko moved out of the way. The misconduct was most likely the refs way of keeping control of a game that was a complete blowout. Had he made contact, it would have been a charging penalty anyway.

Also, Brunner is too old to qualify for the Calder, so not a competition there. Even if there was one, Tarasenko is leading Brunner in that race. Did you see him beat Quincy for his first goal? What about his second goal?

Finally, most of the Blues goals have been on the Powerplay, 5 goals in 7 opportunities. Can’t get a plus for any of those. If he finishes each game +1, that’s fine with me.

Take it back…surprised to learn Brunner is 26, and is too old for rookie of the year? Must be 25 through September 15 of season in question…

It’s fortunate Tootoo cut him a break, and bypassed the killer take-out the other night [ first time I saw a misconduct penalty for missing a hit...? ]. Ya’all gotta watch Brunner’s shootout winner to appreciate where the likely Calder competition is coming from. Five points for Tarasenko but only plus 2…? Hitch will not be happy…

This kid is a beast. Built like Ovechkin and a ton of skill. Just another talented forward in what I think is the deepest forward group in hockey. Still early but Blues look entirely capable of living up to the hype. Especially since they were able to pull one #1 goalie and replace him with another #1 goalie. Looks like Vancouver isn’t gonna get that #1 seed this year.

This kid is some thing else. Hockey sense is out of the world these are his first 2 games on N American ice hes going to be amazing what Blues Fans have been waiting for. He looks like the next Malkin, Stamkos, Crosby. Not really sure if hes more of a passer or shooter are both like Malkin.

Could this be the second coming of Brett Hull that we’ve all been waiting for???
