Discuss the St. Louis Blues, the NHL, or whatever.

How can you shit on the mls and love a team that throws rubber rats?glen a richter wrote:MLS???? MLS???? Seriously? I'd rather watch the Dead Things.
My eastern conference team has always been Florida for some reason, I guess because I was a big Dave Lowry fan and when he ended up in Florida I started following them.
Haha that's good. I used to love Florida as a kid but lately I feel like they've disappeared. My EC team is Boston, mainly because I like playing them in NHL 12 and destroying people while I yell "Chara BOOM!"sseagle wrote:How can you shit on the mls and love a team that throws rubber rats?glen a richter wrote:MLS????

Strong words. Especially from someone who could care less about soccer. MLS isn't the highest quality football on the planet, no. But it's a league on the rise. It's a 17 year old league. I bet MLB or NHL or NFL were firing on all cylinders 17 years in, right?glen a richter wrote:MLS???? MLS???? Seriously? I'd rather watch the Dead Things.
LA since the start...but Portland is so enjoyable to watch. A city that has really embraced soccer.dmiles2186 wrote:MLS!

I've got some family in Portland and I'm going to a game in a couple weeks, can't wait. I've seen their games on TV and it looks awesome. Portland in general embraces odd stuff, and in terms of major sports in America soccer is one of the odder ones, I suppose.Shanahan19 wrote:LA since the start...but Portland is so enjoyable to watch.

LA is now post-Beckham. Seemed like just yesterday when it began.
STL should have long ago had a team. It's rare not to watch a game without the announcers mentioning Saint Louis multiple times in terms of players in the league, history, etc.
That is awesome! I remember back in the one season AC St. Louis existed, you could watch them on Fox Sports Northwest, or whatever, when they played in Portland. There are some MLS teams who still aren't on a local Fox Sports channel now. Even back then, when the Timbers were in D2, they had insane support.AlsWoodenStick wrote:I've got some family in Portland and I'm going to a game in a couple weeks, can't wait.

And yes,we need a team, but where would they play?
Or 2.23 billion...glen a richter wrote:I'm sure they can find some junior high field to play if they want to put a team in St. Louis. That's about all a soccer team is worth anyway.
That would be awesome. That's is the only thing stopping St. Louis from getting an MLS team, it seems. They need financing and a stadium. Jeff Cooper certainly gave it a go but he doesn't have the pockets that Kroenke does, obviously. If Jeff Cooper had tried to get a team back in 2001 instead of 2008, he might have succeeded. But the league has grown leaps and bounds in that time. Kroenke owns the Rapids and their stadium right? I'm assuming he'd have to sell to make this happen, but Don Garber and MLS would be crazy not to plant a team in St. Louis. The Midwest is sorely lacking MLS squads.DaDitka wrote:When...not if.....when Kroenke builds a sports complex in Fenton I fully expect it to include a real MLS stadium and team. Probably still 5 or more years away, but I really think that's how it will play out.
I have heard about this and have seen some renderings of the proposed overhaul. They need to do something with Union Station, for sure. It used to be a nice spot to visit when downtown, but it's gone way downhill. If they put a stadium down there, coupled w/ the 'Trade and Busch all on one street, you'd have quite the sports destination.Shanahan19 wrote:Kroenke is now owner of Union Station and the overhaul that is involved at that site. Plans even call for a soccer stadium anchored on the southern portion. So on one street STL could house MLS, NHL, and MLB. All plans, all off in the future, etc, etc.
