On a bit of a separate note, I was just wondering what the consensus might be with respect to the following:

Now that Kesler is gone, who do you/would you find the Canuck to inherit that 'semi-jerk' label (I mean more off the ice than on, but I suppose it would be a culmination of such, and the player's over all personality as concerns both)

I guess you would have to know the in-locker etc dynamics and therefore it's probably hard to answer the question. In fact, based on what I've read and interviews, I can't really think of a player that fits that mold (perhaps Miller on his bad days?).

Any thoughts?

P.S. I know some of you would cite Bieksa but I don't see him being a negative influence on the team at all

I'm pretty scared about Miller, those stats look brutal if this is the officiating the Blues typically get.

You mean the refs counting goals for the other team that they by rule shouldn't, then ignoring a delay of game because they already were calling a crosscheck? Yeah, that's pretty par for the course.

Haha Kassian is under the skin of so many players on the blues.

Kassian does have a Jarkko Ruutu type face that you just want to punch.

He does

If he did this more often he'd be pretty valuable.

Is this Nucker or Scooby? We want to clarify want you mean by doing Higgins

Driving him to the airport and buying a one way ticket somewhere else.

Nope. The 2-3 slashes uncalled, brutal icing and fake headshot called(later changed to a BS roughing to save face).

Oh and you're losing to a team that has 3 of it's top 4 d-man, starting goalie and top 6 forward out

The fact this game isn't a multi-goal lead for the Blues is hilarious.

You realize once Bonino touches the puck the whistle goes so it can't be delay of game on a delayed penalty.

I wouldn't argue that non goal, your goalie should be embarrassed by letting that get in.

Like how the team is playing. Lots of surprises on this roster.

Harsh. I like it

Trade Burrows keep Kennis in the line up. Love this kid.

I wouldn't mind one more tough DMan

What hes doing is remarkable. Their is literally no argument for sending this guy back down.

He was brought up as a fill in, and has shown hes more than a stop gap.

I love it.

Don't trade Burrows. With him in for Vey, our lineup has 4 very solid forward lines. I'm not sure where Richardson fits though...

Disagree, Burrows is a heart and soul type player that this group sorely needs. And has shown before he got injured he has turned his game into the effective ass hole type that he needs to play.

He is a glue guy.

And when it comes to glue guys I'd rather keep him over Bieksa...

Who comes out when Burrows and Richardson are back? I can't see Willie breaking up the Kenins-Bo-Hansen line. Sedins aren't coming out, and Kassian is playing well with them. Burrows-Bonino-Vrbata is likely the second line. That leaves, Richardson, Matthias, Vey, Dorsett, and Higgins for 3 spots.

We have AHL MAYBE quality refs tonight

You have to ride Hansen Bo Ronald line. It is our second best line

Can't see Very getting traded. Willie loves him from junior. To early to give up on a young player like Vey.

I don't think we have any other d-bags in the dressing room, but people are still people. Remember when Weber and Matthias fought in practice?
