Let's Go Blues

If the allegations are true, I'd wouldn't call a 6 foot, 200 lb professional athlete who beats up his girlfriend a badass. More like a asshole and a coward. Maybe if his girlfriend was Ronda Rousey or Laila Ali, he might just be a scumbag. This is only if the allegations are true, though. At this po...

60 minutes of effort (65 if it hits OT), that is all I ask. I don't care if they win, lose, or tie. I'll be happy with a solid 60 of effort. That is something I do not feel we have seen from the Blues this year. It is also something that I don't think many teams across the ice could overcome. If the...

Heck, is ANYONE on this team living up to their potential who ain't wearing a letter or who ain't in a contract year beyond Tarasenko? Oshie: Leads team in +/- at +6, 6 points and really doing a great job supporting his line mates who are on fire by setting them up and carrying more defensive weigh...

Half of the entire Blues roster fits the underachiever profile. TJ Oshie, 24th overall draft pick,5 pro seasons, never hit 20 goals, one season with 50 points (54) Patrick Bergland, 25th overall, 5 pro seasons, one season with 20 goals (22), one season with 50 points (52) Alexander Steen 24th overal...

Some of the checks I have seen Tarasenko unload this year, I can definitely say he is not a pansy. He isn't a fighter though. I forgot which game it was, but someone tried to start a fight with him. He just laughed, shrugged and slowly skated away. It was hilarious. Much better than if he fought. I'...

What really gets me about Stewart is that the Blues signed him for almost exactly the amount they saved in salary cap for trading Perron. Now, I knew Perron isn't perfect. There is some truth to him not living up to his potential, holding the puck too long and taking bad penalties. However the knock...

I am very happy with last nights game. The Blues bounced back nicely from their loss. I think they played the first Blues style hockey game (good defense, solid puck control, working the corners hard, solid forecheck, dominate shots and time of possession) I have seen, although there were times when...

The NHL ruled on the Burns hit on Morrow. The said it was clean. That Morrow tried a reverse hit and lost the battle. Hmmm. What game were they watching? I guess he was trying to do a reverse hit with his back. Suspend him or not, but don't give a totally bogus reason for not suspending him.

I say Paajarvi gets the nod. {Edited because my reasoning was severely flawed. I was confusing Cracknell with Porter as my brain was probably not fully awake yet. I was right and it looks like Magnus will get the start, but my reasoning was way off. So I deleted it as it adds nothing to the conversa...

People get hit exactly like the hit on Boyle in EVERY game between two physical teams. It's a hockey play. Actually, its an illegal hockey play, called boarding or checking from behind. Take your pick. From NHL rulebook: http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26329 A boarding penalty shall be imposed o...

His arms, not his body, went in a downward motion after contact was made as he pushed Boyle down into the dasher. He wasn't falling after him, he was pushing him down. Several Sharks are also saying he threatened to injure someone multiple times before that play. Now that could be just riling the ot...

Hi. I was sitting at my computer supposed to be working but decided I wanted a place to read about fans thoughts on last's nights game (Game 5 vs Sharks). Found the site and decided to join. I am a long-time avid Blues fan, which is strange since I actually lived in St. Louis. I was born there but m...

The hit by Lapierre was disgraceful, and I want him off the Blues now. The fact that Boyle was falling only made the hit worse, not because he was falling, but because of how Lapierre reacted to the fall. Lapierre did not continue on through the check as if he didn't realize that Boyle was falling. ...

Conditionally, I don’t think it is a good idea to trade Elliot at this time. The condition is obviously what type of value the Blues could get if they do move him. Anybody is tradable for the right package. I just do not think they can get enough to make it worthwhile. Others here have discussed his...
