Re: GDT Game 63: 2/25/18|11:00 AM CT|@ Predators|NBC/KMOX
The record shows you defending the Blues not scoring goals as if it's somehow the goaltender's fault. Actually, the record shows me pointing out that Allen's stats have been shit and that lack of offense doesn't explain away a 3.44 GAA - but I apparently don't read at your level. You wrote a really...

Re: GDT Game 63: 2/25/18|11:00 AM CT|@ Predators|NBC/KMOX
So you're fine with a team averaging 1.64 goals/game in one goaltender's last 17 starts. Got it. I love when people make up things that I clearly didn't say and attempt to pass it off as fact, when the record clearly shows otherwise. I love it even more when people think they know what I'm thinking...

Re: GDT Game 63: 2/25/18|11:00 AM CT|@ Predators|NBC/KMOX
Counter point. I don't care who is in goal. You can't win on any consistent basis in the NHL today scoring less than 2 goals per game. I could point to four (4) games of the 13 where Allen allowed 2 or fewer goals, and say "OK, if he gets a little help here there's a shot to win it." (But let's not...

Re: GDT Game 63: 2/25/18|11:00 AM CT|@ Predators|NBC/KMOX
Let's look at some stuff from Allen's last 17 starts. Shutout 4 times. Scored 1 goal 5 times Scored 2 goals 4 times Scored 3+ goals 4 times. That is absolutely horrible in this skill era and lack of offense has nothing to do with the goaltender. Something is broken in the system and the coach seems...

Re: Lead-up to the trade deadline thread
Thorburn put on waivers. 2 awful off-season signings both put on waivers this season. (Bennett and Thorburn). What was the deal with Prosser? Did we waive him, or did we try to send him down and he got claimed? Regardless, that was another short-lived experiment. We waived him, Minnesota claimed hi...

Re: the song remains the same
Good lord, it's just a slump. All yall need to calm down. Or, ... maybe it's more than that. Maybe it's time to take a cold, hard look in the mirror and see what this team has become: a squad with a great 1st line that's having to carry the team, a decent 2nd line that can't carry the team if the 1...

Re: The Drafts Thread
I really like this trade. It's the kind of creative move I didn't know Armstrong had in him. Now we have a #1 center (hopefully) hopefully gels with Tarasenko. I'm just nervous as hell what conditions they're talking about on that first rounder for next year. 2 firsts would be STEEP Schenn has put ...

Re: Random non-Blues NHL stuff
I would argue that there was much more of a return from the Shattenkirk trade than the picks and bodies we got. Once he was out of town, Edmundson blossomed. We overrate Shattenkirk because he was the best player in the trade when we got him, but the word is out that he's a defensive liability who ...

Re: Random non-Blues NHL stuff
Hi Doug, Thanks for renting players to opponents and not getting anything real in return... Looks like you will be 2 for 2 in not getting picks for traded UFAs not staying on team to which they were traded. To be fair on this part, you don't make those deals expecting that those guys are going to g...

Re: STANLEY CUP FINAL : Pittsburgh v Nashville
And not to give any sort of credence to the Red Wings, but I find it particularly tacky that the Predators fans have basically hijacked the Wings fans' tradition by simply replacing a catfish for an octopus. Be at least a tiny bit original, how about it? They value their guitars, boots, and booze t...

Re: KHL cuts team; reveals long salary delays/ Kovalchuk upd
I'm old enough to remember when people said that the KHL was going to become the premier hockey league in the world by about 2011 and that the NHL's owners were going to fire Bettman over it.

Re: 2016-17 Post-Mortem
Ott's been a captain on multiple teams so he obviously has some leadership skills. Brett Hull was a captain. So was Eric Brewer. So was Ilya Kovalchuk. I wouldn't call any of them "great candidates to be coaches in the future" - and Brewer is arguably the best shot at doing it. (If he ever wants/ge...

Re: 2016-17 Post-Mortem
Ott is a harmless hire. He's inexperienced, but the Blues didn't win jack with an experienced coaching staff. I think theohall captured my sentiment. I mean, it's one thing if you hear guys say "you know, when we're on the bench Steve's such a good tactician, he's been great helping me understand l...

Andrew Shaw, uses a slur against an official last year in the playoffs: $5K fine, suspended one game
Ryan Getzlaf, same thing this year: $10K fine, no suspension
I guess conference final games are too important to miss.
