Let's Go Blues

Blues gave up size and somehow ended up less skilled, and now lack the testicular fortitude to make me at least feel okay about being on the business end of an ass-kicking.

Kerfluffle, I don't understand why you're here. I've been here over 2 years and most people know me well here by now - which is more I can say about your 20 posts and only showing up here for playoff round 3 to join the bandwagon. I lurk. I watch the regular season. Been a blues fan since 1990. Wha...

I don't blame Hitch for these guys not doing zip. I'm tired of that excuse. Play the game Hitch has provided, do your job and make things happen. Thanks, Common Sense . Kerfluffle, I don't understand why you're here. Ftfy. The Sharks aren't better, our guys are just playing like trash and the Shark...

Thanks, Mrs. Hitchcock.

Lately Parayko seems to not be very strong on his skates. Is he too upright or something? For his size it looks like he's getting pushed around too easily, to say nothing of lack of hits I've noticed (can't find stats, I could be wrong). Would like to see a little more smart nastiness from him since...

I cringe and expect disaster every time Joel Edmundson or Carl Gunnarsson touches the puck. They lived up to expectation.

This game looked like the last 4 years... SSDY. Blues are too slow and unskilled.

Agreed.

I tried to sleep as soon as possible. Woke up angry. Reading this morning = http://i.imgur.com/sfDqYVH.jpg

I had managed to forget about the Fabbri penalty... which is probably the biggest ref screw up. Though I still think Elliott was interfered with.

Right on, glen - sorry, I'm still learning my way around! For posterity, here's Armstrong's record, found in the comment section of the "A Fan's Rant" blogpost. 2002-03: DAL 46-17-15-4, 111 points, out in the 2nd round (lost to ANH 4-2) 2003-04: DAL 41-26-13-2, 97 points, out in the 1st round (lost ...

Someone earlier said Hitchcock still coaches like it's the clutch & grab era, and like the 2-line pass is still illegal. I couldn't agree more, and looking up his record the last 10 years bears out the notion that he cannot win in the playoffs anymore. PHI 2005–06 Lost in first round PHI 2006–07 (fi...

I don't know much about how Front Office's function when it comes to the NHL, but I've seen you say a couple of times he'd take a different position in the organization. That's not the usual standard operating procedure I see in pro sports, unless you were instrumental to a franchise's success. So w...

Nice strawman. So, if they destroyed everything that the franchise was, and then won, it would be obvious that they did the right thing. Well duh. And, frankly, they ought to do that. I'd even consider changing the logo and colors. Anything to get rid of the loser status of this franchise. This is ...

LMAO! Did Flyingnote just OWN dmiles or what? Not only did the Blues lose to the Wild but I think we all agree that the Preds would have likely beaten the Blues in a 7 game series too. Seriously is this kid like 13 years old? "LMAO Dmiles Got REKT!!!11!!" Seriously over 1000 posts and he isn't bann...

What a game last night! Everybody seemed to be in sync and I hope our Blues can ride this wave. The playoff road game demons have been exorcized in stunning fashion. WTG each and every one of you magnificent blue bastards! Also, PSA, the NHL channel carried the start of the Blues game when the Pens-...

Whenever Jackman touches the puck, I instantly anticipate a turnover. He rarely disappoints.

This team is as soft and doughy as its coach. The Blues teams I grew up with wouldn't have put up with anywhere near the amount of shit this iteration did.

If Backes is the heart of this team, everyone else's hearts will just have to get a little bigger to make up for it. Come out, metaphorically, swinging and lean on 'em. It's hostile territory, but if the guys can keep their composure I like our chances... and if Reaves can get a little one-on-one ti...
