Let's Go Blues

I suck as a meme creator.

No matter how you twist, turn or spin it, this day was an EPIC FAIL for the organization. It does not matter what so ever how these player develop, the organization made it well know that they wanted to trade into the first and/or move some picks for established NHL talent. They failed on bot parts...

I suggest you now sponsor True Dat Boguniecki.

I post like once a year. Usually toward playoff time. #ISUCKASAFAN

So basically three major missteps, taking Johnson over Toews, Jackson over Stastny, and drafting Marek Schwarz. This is a great post, and thanks so much for doing the research! I think it's important to note, though, that JD didn't come until after the 06 draft and Armstrong until after the 08 draf...

This is what sucks about ownership "groups". When you have a dozen people all as part-owners, they are businessmen whose bottom line is to turn a profit, not win a cup. When it comes time to sign big name players, everyone has to sign off on it if it raises the self-imposed salary cap (which is a j...

To have an owner who has had season tickets for 35 years before buying the team, cried when introduced to your teams' legends, and approaches it as "not about making money - if I want to make money, I'll go drill another well. We're about winning the Stanley Cup." - and THEN said 28 years ago "If I ...

At first I thought Canada Day was going to be really, really fun.

It was not really, really fun.

It was ..... okaaay.

If we sign Lombardi - I claim sponsorship, damnit.

seriously - put Lombardi's speed in Tkachuk's place on that second line, and we roll 3 very high-powered and threatning lines, that makes it all click - with the money saved from Kovy, we could even sign a defenseman (since Cola and Weaver won't be back), or another goal scorer (Ponikarovsky?)..and ...

prefer Lombardi to Kovy?

Just wondering..

I mean, obviously, Lombardi is going to be the better value, but even beyond that, I think I'd just be more excited by it..

Again, I'm not saying that criticizing the team is not being a true fan, and this is not some elitist "I'm a better fan than you" statement, but it's to the point where a significant minority of this board seems to WANT the blues to fail, and enjoys it. And the rest, pretty much go along. It's not a...

I completely understand unhappy fans, or fans disappointed with the on-ice product. But here and elsewhere, it often goes beyond that to nearly enjoying the fact that we suck. The fans seemingly want the Blues, or at least certain Blues, to suck. It's the weirdest thing. It's straight up schadenfreu...

Good God. I know we went through a prolonged period of suckiness after many years of advanced mediocrity - but god, you guys kind of suck. Like...coming to the various forums makes me less want to follow the Blues. Maybe I maintain my naive optimism just because I was out of country the past 3 years...

is the stream up and running? I can't get it to work...

If I remember right, good old CSD used to rave and rave about Woywitka. God this sucks. I consider myself a blues apologist, and it's true, we traded the best D-man in the league for 3 players who could all be in the top 30-40 D-men in the league in 5 years, with Brewer probably being a top 10-15 dm...
