Blues Christmas: Atlanta vs St. Louis

The St. Louis Blues came to town on the Tuesday before Christmas hoping to make everyone Blue. They succeeded.


I should have known it was going to be a bad night when I realized that Nik Antropov was having a bad hair day.



Not even Sopes new haircut could help. (Me likey by the way)



Toby staring at my "Merry Christmas Thrashers" sign. He's probably making sure his name was on the list Santa is holding.



Yes Bryan, you are on Santa's "nice" list.



Again, Nik with the hair! His wings are usually so well coiffed.



Brent is on Santa's "nice" list, too.



Anthony, I felt the same way after the game.



Dustin waiting to take some shots.



Swarming the goalie. Ondrej was so good this year he was on Santa's "nice" list TWICE..ooops. I left off Ron Hainsey. Ron was good! Don't worry Ron, I added you on there.



This is becoming a routine. After they swarm the goalie and most of the guys leave, Burmistrov lines up a few pucks to the left of the goal and takes some shots.



Brent trying to that nasty Backes out of the way.



He's "Backes" in the way and apparently doing some kind of dance.



Unleash the Buff!



Pevs hoping to get a pass from Buff.



Work for it Buff!



Modin hustles in front of the net. Meanwhile behind the net, Jackman jacks up Timmy.



Mason keeping an eye on the puck.



Conks making a nice stop.



Mason hugging the post. Notice the new white pads. They were like blinding white.



Apparently Mason nor his shiny new pads were any match for the Blues, Blues win 4-2. Maybe the Blues knew their old buddy Mason was weak on his glove side.
