Let's Go Blues

[On a scale of 1-10, 10 being Nik Lidstrom, 5 being average NHL defensemen, and 1 being 7th NHL defenseman on the worst team, I'd put him at about 7.5... On a scale of 1 to 10, this is how I would rate our defensemen: Colaiacovo - 6.5 Polak - 6.5 Jackman - 5.5 McKee - 5.5 Strachan - 5.5 Brewer - 5 ...

So you think he's great because he'd be a top pairing defenseman on 9 teams, almost all of which are among the worst teams in the league. Thanks for playing. (Edit: Your inclusion of Nashville is hillarious) OS, did you forget to quote where I said those things you were ascribing to me, or would yo...

I'd say on at least 15 NHL teams he's a top pairing defenseman. That sure sounds like a wild unsubstantiated claim with no evidence to back it up. How about you tell us what 15 teams he'd be a top pairing D-man on? If you'd prefer, I can edit the post to "in my opinion," as that's what I meant by "...

You're the last person that should be talking about logical fallacies. Let's sum up your argument in this thread... 1) Brewer is great because we don't have real evidence to back up our opinions of him. 2) Brewer is great because Blues fans never watch other hockey teams play and therefore can't po...

It's a simple point. You don't have a frame of reference to what a "true #1 is." You said it yourself...in your whole life of fandom, you've watched Future Hall of Famers play on the top and second pairings. So I'm curious, those who say he's not a true number 1, show me what a NON-hall of famer nu...

i am glad to see that jackman is finally getting the criticism that brew always gets for the same lapses, albeit not to the same extent. jax will make a great play, throw a big hit, turn the puck over, and take a stupid penalty of aggression. all in the same shift. we were definitely spoiled for ye...

So..I'm curious...aside from Future Hall of Famers...I'd like to know what the others ones are. This goes back to my point about how St. Louis fans don't know what a number one is. They know what a future hall of famer is. A #1 is a guy who excels at defense and contributes significantly to the tea...

I'm sorry but what is the relevance of non-future hall of fame defensemen since 1980? To be honest, I wouldn't be that helpful. Age-wise I'd say the first Blues game I even remember was around 91-92. MacInnis or Pronger have been the Blues top defensemen for basically my entire lifetime (at least t...

You cannot prove that Brewer was in fact trying to shoot THROUGH the legs of the defenders, nor that he does this multiple times per game. You're right, Brewer was probably trying to shoot directly at the skate and/or shinguard of the player right in front of him. That makes more sense. You don't t...

I'm dodging? I gave you a specific example of Brewer's stupidity on the ice and you completely ignored it. Stop now and quit embarrassing yourself. 1) I asked you what his IQ was. Did you answer? NOPE! 2) You gave me no specific example of his 'stupidity.' You did however, give me an excellent exam...

Jackman doesn't get the same criticism as Brewer because Jackman's issues are generally because of talent limitations while Brewer makes stupid mental mistakes time after time. Brewer doesn't lack talent, he's just dumb as shit. Ahh.. What's his IQ? So you've got nothing. Glad we've cleared that up...

Depends on what you're looking for.

For my money, James is the second best rhythm guitarist in metal, second only to Dave Mustaine. As for leads...oh god yes...Andy LaRoque would kill Kirk Hammet...beats Kirk's rhythm playing too.

That's the King in full warpaint my friend!!
