Let's Go Blues

I don't think I could handle that Sleestack-looking sucker coaching St. Louis. I'd be much happier with a younger guy. Let's try someone with some success in the minors under 50, throw him the keys, and let's find out what happens. I think we have enough talent that I'm not afraid of him not making ...

Hard to blame them. The trades that got rid of all three were busts.

Getting Ovie would certainly be a statement. And maybe he'd want to come here because (a) it isn't Washington, and (b) he might be a great mentor to Tarasenko. But some nutjob oligarch in the KHL is also probably going to make a run at him, so I'm not sure how that's going to go. But heck, it seems ...

And if a frog had wings, he wouldn't whomp his butt every time he jumped. /ozark The what ifs are pointless. Let's stick with reality. Army failed big-time this year. And, BTW, we haven't even started to talk about the minors being about three guys deep, AND no first-round pick this year. The window...

Let this one sink in again, from Ryan Miller: "I guess I’m free to go to my sister in law’s wedding, so that’s about it."

What a colossal, colossal loser.

Let's get the obvious out of the way: Ott gone, Miller gone, Roy gone, Morrow gone. Duh, duh, and duh.

In other news, Berglund is gone. I'm just done with him. I'd probably dangle Steen out there. I don't think he's going to do this again.

I think he might be gone simply because the fanbase isn't going to buy going into next year standing pat. But I also worry that this is as good as he can do. We've had three straight flameouts. He may have built the team as far as it's going to go.

Please name one move Army made this year that actually worked. I can't come up with one.

Right. The US Men's National Team in the World Cup. Hockey season just ended.

Fire, and frankly it's not a debate. He failed on nearly every decision he made this year. The Miller trade alone is enough reason for a change, and it was way, WAY worse than that. If Army is here next year, Stillman falls into yet another long line of owners who don't really know what it takes to ...

Well?

Well?

Yeah, I think Hitch just sealed his fate with this one. They're going to have to clean house at the top just to keep the fanbase on their side. Pretty disgraceful performance by the entire franchise this series. And, at 4-1, not one good hit for the rest of the game. That's all you need to know abou...

No next year's 1st and a third, though I'm not sure if it's this year next year or 2016

Army has to be fired. Like, tomorrow. No question. He's gotta go.

And after this, I wouldn't have any problem with firing Hitch, either. I think we know what we have with him, and I have no belief that it's good enough to do any better than this. I think we have enough data now. I'm so sick of watching this crap. I'm glad I haven't bought a real ticket to watch th...

It's not just Miller, although 75% of NHL teams would fire him for a big trade that has failed so beautifully. But...Derek Roy? Leopold? Brendan Morrow? Aucoin? Trading 28/29/57 David Perron for 6/6/12 Paajarvi? And now, after watching Perron and Johnson flame out, we're going to go into yet another...

If Miller finds a way to give up one more goal, then it's time to do two things: Play Elliott to get ready for next year, and to blow up Chicago players.

Ryan Miller blows. Period. End of discussion.

And, by the way, can someone please sell me on Army as GM of the Year again? Because I'm having a very difficult time trying to figure out what move he's made with this roster this year that has worked that should mean that he keeps his job.

Ryan Miller has done pretty much nothing today except give up two goals. He's completely off mentally. Maybe the Islanders will give him a fifty-year contract or something.

All that means is it's now totally possible we lose this one 2-1 just like game 6 last year. :( If seabrook scores it, we will need to figure how to break the curse on this franchise. I vote for "change the name". Ladies and gentlemen, the "St Louis Seriously We Have No Idea Who The Blues Are Stop ...
