Let's Go Blues

Late to the party here. I am rooting for the Leafs/Kraken SCF. Would be fun to see Schwartz and ROR go head to head. If not the Leafs, I'll take Florida out of the East. I don't really have a second favorite out of the west but if Oilers end up winning it all I wouldn't be mad. McJesus deserves a cup.

The hardest workers on the team are the guys who should, theoretically, be in the AHL. All the guys who got their money are laughing all the way to the bank... financial security, why go out there and risk life and limb when the contract's already signed? The players know they have Armstrong over a...

And that's utter shit. Binnington with the fat rebound, Parayko showing zero strength.

That SHG is now worth Saad's weight in gold.

If Kyrou just stopped being so damn casual. Just throwing pucks away. Can't do it when you're the damn top star on the team. Infuriating.

Thoughts on having Schenn center the fourth line? He's been a defensive liability and offensively he's just not up to snuff. I wonder if his ribs still bother him and if reduced minutes would help him (and the team) a bit.

I feel like I see plenty of dump ins but the Blues very rarely capitalize on those this season. The speed isn't there and no one hits nearly hard enough to put the defense on its heels and force bad decisions.

So far it's all Binner [shit] show. Both goals.

Whenever they are having a bad game, the Blues puck movement is just atrocious. No support for the defense, everyone is just running and gunning. I don't understand how the same group of guys can decide to forget the fundamentals and get into the sloppy hurry up and lose mode.

Was there with some Russian buddies of mine. Great game. Sat two rows behind Barvbashev's parents. Talked to his dad a bit. A really nice guy. Going again on Monday with my kid. Hope for a repeat.

Seems like the Blues like winning now a little more than losing.

Mikkola looked shaky to me in a few of their losses. Granted, the entire D did. What I like about him is that he's a big guy who isn't afraid to use his weight around the boards. He doesn't kill people but, unlike Parayko, plays body more than puck. If Colton did that more, boy he'd be a formidable ...

Did you all just see this too?

Hahaha this feels good!! Don't care if it lasts. Kyrou actually played his ass off tonight.

That's fine I'll be a one man wrecking crew here. LETS GO BLUES!!!

THE BLUES ARE THE SECOND PERIOD TEAM!!!

Not that we want blues to go on the PP but that was clear goalie interference.

John Hamm isn't helping either... welp!

This is so 2022 Blues. Play pretty well and go up one only to allow two SH breakaways on the same play (TWO, Carl!) while on PP.

In my mind, it's a different challenge this year but a challenge nonetheless. $26mm can evaporate quickly if you have 10 or more roster spots to fill.
