Newly minted St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts has guaranteed the team will win its home opener October 12 against the Boston Bruins.

"I just think that home opener is a big moment for us," Checketts tells the St. Louis Post Dispatch. "I know our guys will be up for that. ... It's the start of a new era. I know it's a trite phrase, but it's the Show-Me State ... so we're going to have to deliver to get the fans back."

What would you expect an owner to say? "Come Watch us loose". It is not the first time an NHL owner has engaged his mouth before his brain and won't be the last.

Well, the Blues may not win against the Bruins, but at least Keith Tkachuk will be in shape for the opener.
