I saw a video (a crappppy video) of the hit when it happened and it didn’t look good. But the low energy Blues reporters and bloggers never wrote a single word about it. For what it’s worth, I recently saw a picture of him playing with his kid and he didn’t have a brace of anything, so maybe that’s a good sign.

I guess maybe many of us assumed he needed another ACL operation. Maybe it was more minor than that. I agree that the reporting has been lacking. The fact that his contract is a two-way is a little odd if he's in fact 100% healthy though.

If he was in good shape and ready to go and they for sure wanted him in their 14 forwards then why the two way contract. At a minimum if assume the two way because they think he might need AHL rehab time?

Anyone have other ideas?

This camp is 100% about competition and earning your spot. Even Sunny. Actually, especially Sunny. This makes him the premium example. Even the most loyal warrior has to earn it.

This camp will be different. We have several legit "heavies" looking to establish themselves on a new team.

Perhaps it's a good thing the camp is short. Some of these guys could really hurt each other.

Frank, thanks for digging deeoer than the professional "reporters".

Sunny and Barbs were so dangerous on that SC Team 4th line. It was like Chief was in a submarine conning tower when those two jumped over the boards- and Steener was no slouch with the hits.

"Chief... the target is in range."

"Fire One! Fire Two!"


( a few seconds pass)

BOOOM!!! BOOOM!!!

Harry, you’re totally right. That 4th line was as responsible for the Blues winning the Cup as anyone else on the team, other than Binnington’s out of this world performance in Game 7.

Nice, I have a photo of Bortz teaching Sanford a lesson in practice as my phone background. Need a framed photo of Chief and Gunnarsson with the quote "I just need one more chance." :lol:

Awesome......

That second photo would be a challenge.
IIRC, that legendary exchange- after regulation play- which led to the OT goal in our SC Playoff run happened, as related by a jubilant Chief, In the Pisser!
