Let's Go Blues

WOW! Look at the amazing stat below!

The #1, #2 and #3 all-time coaching win leaders had their first head coaching jobs with the Blues and couldn't win the Cup. Now all time winningest coach #4 can't even get the Blues to win a 2nd round game.

Good job dmiles. You took your lumps, admitted your mistake, and ate crow.

To cheer you up here are franchises in all 4 major sports who haven't won a championship. The Sabres and Canucks came into existence in 1979 and haven't won either. In a way the Leafs are worse than the Blues since they haven't won since 1961. 1) Washington Senators/Texas Rangers (1961) 2) Minnesota...

Nyghtewynd could have a point. Eventhough this Blues team wasn't around for past playoff failures nor are they responsible for them it clearly still ways on them mentally! For some reason they just can't get over that playoff hump. They are haunted by the ghosts of past playoffs! Maybe the Blues ne...

Did you guess, use a crystal ball, or use some complex statistical analysis?

LMAO!

Did Flyingnote just OWN dmiles or what? Not only did the Blues lose to the Wild but I think we all agree that the Preds would have likely beaten the Blues in a 7 game series too.

Now you see it's not so funny. We were serious!

That article from Bernie is after they lost game 5 not game 6. Imagine how pissed he'll be in his column tomorrow!

They don't have much of a hard time cashing in the 3-6 million a year a lot of them make.

Agreed. In Stastny's case it's $7 million a year which is highway robbery!

I've always wondered what a hardcore bandwagon fan was like. Now I know.

I think Buccigross has picked the Blues to win the Cup every year since 1996!

I wonder if relocation is going to be on the table. They've tried everything else in STL (coaches, players, staff, etc). It has to be the city or the arena, that's all that is left to change ... There is an arena pretty close to my house in Kansas City that could use a tenant. I'm 99.9% sure the Bl...

San Jose ' s coach?? They should go for Bylsma and at least inquire about Babcock.

I got the Blues series exactly right!

Wild in 6 games. Looks like Kerfuffle and I were the only ones who picked the Wild. But I got several others wrong. Playoffs can be very unpredictable.

Not if you've been following the Blues for more than 5 minutes!

Bylsma.

Isn't there a quote from Stastny a few months ago how the Blues can't handle losing and have a hard time dealing with it?

I saw some of the Caps/Isles game yesterday and although it was good I find Western conference matchups more exciting in general.
