Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 1h 1 hour ago Keith Ballard has been released from hosptital. Has a concussion and a few facial fractures. Out indefinitely. @NHLonNBCSports Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 1h 1 hour ago Ballard may need surgery, but, docs need to wait a few days for the swelling to subside.

Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 38m 38 minutes ago Andersson and Kindl in for Cleary and Lashoff are the changes tonight from the previous game, in addition to Howard starting.

Mrazek doing a great job tonight swallowing the puck.

Somehow that takedown of Jurco wasn't a penalty?

Great shift by Nyquist.

Great effort by Nyquist there. Almost had one.

The actual interference wasn't that bad or important to the play. It was just so blatantly intentional on Franzen's part.

gotta be interference on Franzen. He got up off the ice and headed right at the guy. A little obvious there Mule.

shot from the point deflected out front of Mrazek.

2 minute penalty for Wings having too big of a lead.

They talk about Kronwall's veteran leadership as he's two knuckles deep picking his nose.

Franzen actually had some get up and go before that goal. Maybe he's getting tired of watching other people score?

Dats to Tater Tots!

I get that the player's stick broke, but wasn't the puck in by his feet when Lashoff chopped at it?

These days it's crazy how often there's a forward crashing the net without the puck, and the D-man totally holds his ground and tries to push him away from the net. They look like defensive linemen on skates.

I wondered the same thing. thought I saw a roller derby move out there but couldn't tell who it was.

wow. how did they not score there? he was behind Mrazek

Looks like it. Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 28m 28 minutes ago Based on the pregame warmups, looks like Andersson and Kindl are the ones scratched for Cleary and Lashoff. Ansar Khan ‏@AnsarKhanMLive 19m 19 minutes ago Lines in the warmups: Nyquist-Zetterberg-Jurco Tatar-Datsyuk-Helm Franzen-Sheahan-Weiss Miller-Glendening-Cleary

Babcock gets his 500th win, and is the 2nd coach in NHL history to reach 500 wins in less than 900 games (The first being Scotty Bowman).

Sorry, that's me editorializing when I changed the thread title since he was officially signed. A few: $10,000 for every point in the standings he earns while being the goalie of record. $125,000 for being on an NHL roster Feb 1st (odd that it's not specifically the Blues roster) $125,000 for being on an NHL roster March 1st Then some playoff bonuses tied to the team winning rounds. They don't get into full details. It's really the first one that seems nutty to me, hockey being a team sport and all. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/11968053/st-louis-blues-sign-martin-brodeur

hey there! We discuss the games in the Game Day Threads (GDT). There's one for last night's game as well as one for tonight's here on the main page of the general discussion forum. It keeps there from being multiple threads about the same thing. Welcome to the board and LGW!

Babs with 500th win. I am impressed with this team.

No, not quite that far. Just knock him on his ass and give him an earful about diving.

DK laying some lumber on Nash in front of the net. Great to see.

If St. Louis ends up scoring I'm okay if someone crosschecks the s*** out of him as he's celebrating.
