Re: Trades and Signings

Yak is the biggest bust? Really? With the crazy amount of hype and the quick paycheck, Daigle beats out Yak seven days a week. What about The Wick? One 50 point season doesn't make him one of the biggest busts? Yak, plugged in to a playmaking Center, is absolutely dangerous. He'll find a place, prob...

Re: Berglund out until December

We could have traded Bergy off and kept Lehtera, anyone down for that? No? Me either! :) I think it's good that Bergy is getting himself together, he's a solid 3rd line guy, people here complain like he's Lehtera. Better options? There are always better options, but he's the guy we got and on paper ...

Re: GDT Game 6: 5/7/17 | 2:00 PM CDT | @ Predators | NBC/Y98

You do however need a coaching staff and GM that address deficencies and fix them in a timely manner. Blues PP unit, when managed right, is outright dangerous and had we capitalized on just a few of those chances, we would be telling a different story now. The one coach they had that could do it pre...

Re: 2016-17 Post-Mortem

Doesn't have to be exactly Tavares. His name has been out there in trade rumors the past few years, so that's who I went with. I did read that the Islanders are offering him an 8 year extension though, so he might have been a bad exmaple. There are other young forwards that would fit this mold thou...

Re: 2016-17 Post-Mortem

No way in H-E-double hockey sticks Oshie comes back to St Louis to play for another defense first head coach. That's what got him shipped out in the first place. The problem I see for next season is the Blues current players under contract for 17-18 and how unwilling Armstrong is to buy out contrac...

Re: 2016-17 Post-Mortem

I chalk up this year to the team being mismanged. Army can't make the deals we need to ascend to the next level and his incompetance costed us. Because of him we don't have a coach that can run a solid PP which, if we had, we would have won against Nashville. Army sold players like Shattenkirk far t...

Re: GDT Game 4: 5/2/17 | 8:30 PM CDT | @ Predators | NBCSN/Y

I wouldn't say that we need new ownership. That could always end up being worse. (We do not need a return of the Bill Laurie Reign of Terror.) We could use a less shitty lease, though. I wouldn't mind a modified Laurie situation where they spent to the Cap, kept making one smart move after the next...

Suggestion for Game 5, no matter what happens the rest of the way: sit Perron in the press box. ++ :plusplus: I was pissed that they signed him. Guy is a turd. Nashville was picked in the preseason to be an excellent team this year. They are doing a great job. I was all for blowing up this team at ...

Stillman, sell the team to someone who actually cares to build it into a winner. There's just so much that needs to be changed about the culture in and around this operation. Get control of your own AHL team instead of a shared club, revamp the entire scouting department, drop Army like a bad habit...

Re: ROUND TWO: A2 Ottawa v WC1 New York

I think Ottawa is going to take this series. Karlsson is a goddamn playoff beast and the Sens are playing with a real hunger. I forsee the Rags firing their coach if they lose this series.

A few notes: 1. To reinterate my previous post: Subban ain't s***. 2. Pekka Rinne really ain't s*** 3. Fiddler is a punk b**** along with the Preds team. Didn't they know that Colt 55 is not your average Malt Liqour? Can't send a light beer like Fiddler to do that job. 4. Ignore the goals against, J...

Still not afraid of the Preds. Like others have said, stay out of the damn penalty box and we win. Subban ain't s*** when you got Colt 55 and Pie. Tonight, Jake Allen commits felony theft. Book it.

Re: ROUND ONE : A1 Montreal v WC1 New York

Dammit Montreal. To make matters worse the Rags should flatly dominate either Ottawa or Boston so we have to wait for the ECF before the next chance those scumbags get eliminated. The Habs have fallen off signifigantly in the past few years and really need Price to carry them. They should have boug...

Re: ROUND TWO: P1 Anaheim v P2 Edmonton

Even money series from where I'm sitting. I think it'll go seven. Couldn't say who'd win; I have different reasons for why the Ducks or the Oil should, so... I'll let them pick for me :).

Re: ROUND TWO: C3 St. Louis v WC2 Nashville

The Preds don't scare me. They have trash for a fourth line and seriously lack depth. Rinne was Godlike but those days are past him. He's still formidable but Jake Allen is the Now. Rinne is the Then. Yeo has found ways to keep the Blues playing consistant hockey and every move Army's made, includin...

Jake Allen did not deserve that BS performance from the Offense. Guy stands on his head and that's the best you can do for him? :x Can not allow the Wild to get back into this series. Yet, this was the first time this series the Blues were even in shots on goal and had the Wild under 30 for the gam...

Re: ROUND ONE : M1 Washington v WC2 Toronto

I kind of want to root for Toronto because I like rooting for the promising young, yet probably not quite ready team. But, we get a better pick if the Caps make the conference finals. So, let's go Caps. I'd be happy for Oshie and Shatty too I guess. So far pretty much every Blues player who left ha...
