Re: GDT #29: 12/11/16 | 5:00 PM CST | @ Wild | FSMW/KMOX

Couldn't watch this one. Sounded like Allen stood tall and had to make more difficult saves than he should have, but a frustrating game nonetheless on the offensive side. I feel like this pretty much sums up our season so far. Right when we appear ready to make a leap and become a top-tier team .. ...

Re: Brian Elliott to Calgary for 35th pick & Cond 2018 3rd R

Count me as one who has very little problem with this trade other than sentiment. Jake Allen is six years younger ... and almost unarguably more TALENTED than Brian Elliott. His numbers are not THAT different from Elliott's over the last couple of years, despite getting less time in the net. But ......

Re: Possible 2016-2017 Coaches

Hitchcock is absolutely going to be back as coach. I would agree that the only "controversy" is fan generated over social media and that's all. This is definitely true. Anyone who thinks Hitch won't be back as the coach is probably being delusional. There has been no indication by any players they ...

Re: GDT Game 6: 5/25/16 | 8:00PM CST | @ Sharks | NBCSN/KMOX

All the talk about how the Blues looked the last 10 minutes and why didn't they look that way the rest of the game is ridiculous, honestly. OF course they got a chance in the last 10 minutes of a game where they were trailing 4-0. It is not because they magically got desperate, it is because the Sha...

Re: GDT Game 6: 5/25/16 | 8:00PM CST | @ Sharks | NBCSN/KMOX

I'd trade Shatty in a heartbeat. Horrible defensively. Absolutely horrible. Also the master of taking dumb penalties. Still got good trade value. That being said, I'm proud of how this team played all year. Yes, they were inferior in this series, but they still beat CHI and DAL which are great team...

Congrats to San Jose. They outplayed the Blues and deserved to win. Congrats also to the Blues in a fine season. They exceeded my expectations but not my hopes. Well said. To come out of a division with Chicago, Dallas and Nashville, it is tough to "expect" to get through. By the time you get to th...

At least I was given an excuse to listen to Seven Nation Army about ten times at work!

Elliott has been brilliant for two games before. That is what we need now. The Sharks are relentless. They are going to pepper the goal ... we just need to stop em. Sound simple enough!

Let's. Go. Blues!

As good as the Sharks played last night ... We were just as bad. It was ridiculous watching our lousy, lazy passing and receiving all night long. I cannot remember watching a worse four minutes of hockey than that double-minor when we had a chance to get a rally going. I was severely disappointed. W...

But I must tell you all ... the entire area is in a complete funk today after last night. It seemed everyone thought (and for the most part they wer...

The Blues are getting contributions everywhere and it's fantastic to see. Backes and Steen woke up, Senko is back in it, and Petro is turning into a monster in front of our eyes. As a Blues fan, I always have to worry about something, so my current concern is if Reaves' kiss will fire up the Stars ...

Re: Round 2 : Dallas v St. Louis

I'm mainly concerned that they sapped their emotional side by going 7 against Chicago. This could be a huge letdown series, so it's very important they take game 1. Reclaim home ice then go from there. If the Blues play the way they're capable of, it's a 5 game series. If they give up a million 2nd...

Besides, you JUST said yourself...all you want to do is sit back with a beer and watch the game. So what do you care how they are dressed?. Th...

Re: GDT Game 4: 4/19/16 | 8:30PM CST | @ Hawks | NBCSN/FSMW/

The officiating in this series single-handedly led to the Hawks' Game 2 win and pretty much led completely to them getting a 2-1 lead yesterday ... they have absolutely NO room to complain. We are in their heads and that is good. Seeing this team get TWO come-from-behind wins on the road against a s...

I was sooo thrilled with this win. To be behind, have bounces going against you, have no momentum, on the road against the defending Stanley Cup Champions ... it was over. And then we became a new, more resilient and tough team. A team that can win games like that. A team that can actually inspire h...

I saw a lot of what has been talked about in this thread last night. We have a ton of guys producing that have not been a part of the "disappointments." Parayko, Brouwer, Fabbri and even Elliott (who has had to watch as Miller and Allen were letdowns) all stepped up and showed the past is the past! ...

That game hurt last night.

I had it on ... stopped paying attention for a few minutes ... and bam ... we were losing in OT.

I really wish that I felt Hitchcock could get us there ... but I am seriously starting to doubt it.
