Let's Go Blues

We would've found a way to lose anyway. We don't score in close games.

This doesn't really make a lot of sense if you think about it. You root for a win, regardless. To hope for failure just to get the coach canned is dumb. If the team suddenly goes on a winning streak do you curse them because you still want Murray gone? Doubtful. Most likely Murray would be awesome ...

I'd love to see them win, but I want Murray out. Hmm...so torn.

Paul Kariya is an offensive guy playing in a defensive system. He has never been a defensive star. He's scored almost a 1,000 points in his career and is only a plus 35. What do you guys expect his production to be like?

I just read this over at the asylum. Sounds like the perfect coach for the job would be Peter Laviolette. This is snippet that describes his coaching style that was written when the Wild were looking for a new coach. Fletcher and owner Craig Leipold have made clear the Wild will have a change of min...

Shouldn't you be using that crystal ball to get the Lotto numbers instead??? Ya know..... I'm not posting on the subject any more... I just COMPLETELY don't get the (alleged) logic........... Didn't I mention that I posted that from my prototype atomic computer in the living quarters of my million ...

In the last two games, the Blues have done everything right except in one area... putting the puck in the net. Unless a team is having an off night, the Blues will never excel in that area under Andy Murray. Plain and simple, with or without Murray, this team needs a new system catered to the skill...

Let's go Blues! I had to fly to Fresno for an 8am Monday morning meeting. I decided to take the 6:30am flight instead of the 2:40pm flight (would've missed the whole game) so I could watch this game. I'm stupid anyway, but I hope they don't rub my nose in it.

My opinion is that it's not the system. Believe it or not, last year proved that the system CAN work. I have to disagree. Last year proved that with some of our most skilled players out of the lineup, Murray's system can work by adding grinders and playing desperation hockey. They turned the tables...

We have young, fast, and creative forwards and "The Scheme" seems tailor made for a collection of late-career-Dallas-Drake-type players. News flash, coach, Scott Mellanby retired years ago. The kids can play that game if the coach asks them to, but it's like asking your friend if you can borrow his...

Almost noon and nothing has been posted, yet. Damn. Calgary (8-4-1) at St. Louis (5-6-1) Starting goalies are supposed to be: Flames: Curtis McElhinney Blues: Chris Mason Eller's been called up. So, let's go Blues!! :letsgoblues: A serious lack of offense has plagued the St. Louis Blues during their...

It looked like a pretty good hit. If he did get his elbow up, a small supsension would be in order, but not the whole season. I'd be pissed if I was that guy.

So then I called back the next day and immediately said I wanted to talk to someone about cancelling my service. He asked how he could help me and I said, "Well, I'm a hockey fan...so I guess you know why I'm calling." He then offered up free Center Ice right away without me even asking for it, and...

No more of these threads. That was way too close.

Sure didn't look like it last night (or in the last handful of games). He was being beaten to the puck and stripped of the puck all night long. Sure doesn't look like someone that deserves anything anywhere close to $6 million/year.

We looked absolutely horrible last night. Were they playing some variation of a neutral zone trap?? Either we were way off the page on positioning (definitely possible) or they were finding ways to clog the shit out of the neutral zone. Probably a big contributor to the log jam was the fact that we ...

I'll be there tonight. Let's go Blues!

Good game. Not great, but good. The Wild aren't the best team around, but it seemed like we actually showed up to play.

Escalator parts.

Well played, sir.

I was wondering the same thing. A 3rd/4th line grinder for the Rivermen (exactly what this organization needs more of )??
