Let's Go Blues

Heckuva game. Going in, I was fully expecting a loss. Then I was convinced we were going to overtime once Faulk took the guy down with 2 to go in the 3rd (which to me looked like there might have been some embellishment), and then even more convinced once they took the delay of game penalty. And the...

My wife and I will be watching the game from Section 256 in our Blues jerseys. We're leaving the kids at home. :grin: It's too soon to say the boys have completely righted the ship. A losing streak that lasts 8 games is too long to be just a fluke- it means there are actual deficiencies in the team,...

Not much hope for this game. Vegas is playing at a whole different level than the Blues, and I wouldn't expect that to change tonight.

This crow tastes pretty damn good akshully.

Finally off the schneid.

Feels good, but like glen said, it doesn't really tell us anything about this team.

The Blues have GOT to beat the Sharks at home tonight.

Please?

Back when Kyrou got his contract I said he hadn't proven he has the ability to sustain that level of performance and it would be more beneficial to the team to shop him while his value was as high as it was likely to ever be. Especially combined with the apparent decision to let Perron walk. Thomas ...

I was about to come in and post "what is wrong with this team?" but you guys beat me to it.

Let's get back into the W column, boys.

Blech. Nashville.

Had to listen to the radio feed. Sounds like the D did a great shutdown job and Binner was spectacular. I likes it.

3 goals in 13 minutes followed by being scoreless for 49 minutes would not be my definition of "resilient." I call that streaky. It reminds me of the Cardinals' offense this year- it would disappear for games at a time (most notably in the playoffs). That's not a desirable attribute. And it's defini...

I wasn’t sure where to post this, this thread seems as good as any. Is Ivan Fedotov still alive? First he goes home to Russia to get his visa worked out, gets arrested, forced to enlist, gets sick while enlisting and now they can’t find him. Did Putin order his execution? Could be invading Ukraine ...

I have the feeling there are a few Blues who may have "peaked" who would be worth trading now while they are high value. You mentioned Barbashev. I would (perhaps controversially) add Kyrou to that. He seems to me to be a lot like a Fabbri-type. Show some massive skill and speed, and then the goals ...

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but it's really difficult to find box scores on the Thunderbirds site so I'm trying to piece together who did what based on the game recap. Looks like Brown, McGing, Alexandrov and Perunovich are all off to solid starts. Obviously Hofer didn't get the start on the ...

It looks like they are in better shape this offseason than next. Re-sign Perron (might be due for a small raise), and the RFAs shouldn't be difficult to sign- Mikkola and Perunovich, while I expect them to be big parts of the team going forward, haven't really "proven themselves" enough to command ...

The issue with bringing in M. Tkachuck is he is due a massive payday, like the 10M AAV type and equivalent salary would have to go the other way. A 100 point season is going to demand that kind of payday. Kyrou won't account for that. Yup. So even if (a HUGE, GIGANTIC "if") Army was somehow able to...

Don't know what to say about those last two Avs goals.

Don't know if anyone noticed, but 4 of the 5 Blues goals in Game 4 - the puck was below the Avs goal line during the shift when the Blues scored. The only exception was Buchnevich to Thomas when the Avs got caught on a bad change and gave Buchnevich a clean entry. Keep putting the pucks deep and ma...
