Blues fans have been asking about a back-up goalie for starter Chris Mason. Ask and ye shall receive.
The Blues got a fantastic run out of starter Chris Mason last season, as he was the driving force for the Blues' run to the playoffs. The Blues sent former starter Manny Legace to Peoria of the AHL in February, which left the back-up role a question mark. Until now.

Eric Brewer has an upbeat attitude about his current situation.
"There's never been the thought that I'm never going to play again," Brewer told the media recently. "I never had one doctor or one therapist tell me anything other than you'll be playing. It's been a little bit longer than I would have liked, but that's never been an issue. I've always been told, and I continue to be told, that I'll be fine and I'll be playing hockey."

When the St. Louis Blues drafted Barret Jackman 17th overall in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, they thought that they were getting something special. With Al MacInnis aging and Chris Pronger making All-Star caliber paychecks, the team knew that a young guy had to be brought in to step in and take charge. Jackman had a great season with the Regina Pats of the WHL in 2000-01, and continued that strong play in St. Louis the following season. After winning the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year that season, the future was looking bright for the tough defenseman. But things can go sour as quickly as they get sweet.

I have a confession to make. I love the Canucks. I really have loved them ever since the worst trade in NHL history when my beloved Panthers gave Luongo away for nothing. I know he is great and that team has a ton of fast guys with a lot of talent. For some reason, I really want them to win. What a job they did last night finishing off the Blues. Hey some big time people picked the Blues to win, since they were so hot coming down the stretch. So,no prediction is even needed for Vancouver. All I know is, I do not know of any team that wants to face the Canucks in the 2nd round.

The Blues were on the outside looking in on the NHL playoff picture on December 13th, 2008 when they received even worse news; captain and leading minute-man Eric Brewer went down with a herniated disc in his lower back. Things seemed dreary for the Blues hockey club. Fans already started calling for the first-round draft choice in 2009 and pretty much gave up hope on any playoff dreams.

Just a few weeks ago, the St. Louis Blues could not find a way to win when it was needed, and were considered to be out of the playoff picture by almost everyone. But a recent rush by this young team has proven otherwise. After wins against Los Angeles, Vancouver and two huge wins against Columbus in a home-and-home series, this team looks serious about a playoff push. They are now clinging to the eighth and final spot in the Western Conference.
