There is a very strong chance the St. Louis Blues open up the 2009-2010 seaon in Stockholm, Sweden. The opponent isn't known at this time.

Stay tuned....


Both Carlo Colaiacovo and Alexander Steen passed their physicals this morning and will head back to Toronto to complete the imigration paperwork necessary to obtain a work visa. After 9/11 the process has become more complicated.

I spoke to Lee Stempniak this morning and he is expecting to play tonight in Toronto. He was unable to skate with his new team this morning because Colaiacovo and Steen had yet to pass their physicals.

Stempniak, who is very excited about joining an original six team, is expected to wear #12. He did not know who he'd be playing with.


I find it interesting that Ron Wilson was the only coach or executive who didn't say goodbye to Colaiacovo.
