Let's Go Blues

Saw someone tweet (I think it was Strickland) that Backes and his wife were going to sell their house either way. They just went ahead and put it on the market.

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/f665e04a389a4bdb846216dcb14089c6/ap-source-nhl-settles-las-vegas-expansion The NHL is ready to roll the dice on Las Vegas. A person with direct knowledge of the NHL's decision says the league has settled on Las Vegas as its choice for expansion, provided organizers can...

The good - he's won Championships at every level except the NHL. Not as a head coach, but Yeo was an assistant on the Penguins team that won the Cup in '09. I posted this in the Hitchcock thread where this discussion started but I'll repost here with a few additions. I'm a little conflicted. It's n...

On the /r/hockey thread about this, a lot of Wild fans do not like this at all. They think Yeo will work wonders here.

Maybe this Yeo stuff warrants it's own thread....but keeping this going.... I'm a little conflicted. It's not an exciting hire, that's for sure. But looking at his numbers: 35-36-11 his first year, 26-19-3 during the lockout year, 43-27-12, 46-28-8, and then 23-22-10 before being fire. All told: 173...

Really happy the Pens finished the job. I don't hate Sid as much as some people here do, so I was happy to see the league's marquee name get his 2nd Cup. It's weird to me that the last two Cups the Penguins have won came after they fired their old coach/hired a new coach midseason. So maybe we shoul...

I really wanted to see the Pens win on home ice. Pittsburgh hasn't celebrated a title win in their city since 1960. That's a long time. Now I just want them to wrap it up in whatever way possible. Keep the Sharks away from that beautiful trophy at all costs.

Him and Ali a week apart. Kings of their respective sport. Sad, sad day. RIP.

[quote="StL Dan"]The Bay City has won too many championships in the last 6 - 8 years....Giants have won 3 WS, the Warriors won the 2015 'ship and are primed to win back to back this season. Down with the Sharks.

Yep and the 49ers were in back to back NFC title games and made a Super Bowl appearance.

Has anyone seen theohall and Logan Couture in the same place at the same time?!

He's tweeted about the SCF some and he also was tweeting Game 7 of the ECF as well.

I like everything about it except the crest.

I'm not sure Hull is made for the bench and honestly, I think he's more valuable boozing and schmoozing potential sponsors, starring in promos, being the front office's face to the public. There's still a chance Muller could come back as head coach next year. I hope at least. He's been here and know...

Muller gone too. Boo.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Muller promoted after next season. Two years with the team, he knows the players and what they can do offensively, and he does have HC experience, albeit a pretty awful experience in Carolina. I'm not saying it is or isn't what I'd like them to do, just ...

I always liked what Boat brought to the table and as long as he's willing to accept a 3rd or 4th line role consistently, I'll welcome him back with open arms.

:facepalm: So assume Ott will be re-signed for about 5 mil a year. Rattie will rot another year in Chicago or be traded for a 7th round pick... the Blues got where they got this year in spite of Hitch. One could actually argue they got where they got because of Muller and Hitch was just in the way....

Time to change the title of this thread to 'Possible 2017-2018 Coaches.'
