Re: FUCK! [Tarasenko out 5+ months]

RT has tons of talent and potential, but he is definitely lacking in confidence right now as far as shooting the puck goes. Vladi is a scorer, thus far RT is an pass first, assist guy. This does not mean he won't become a scorer, but we need someone who can put pucks in the net right now. That said...

Re: Charles Glenn to retire at end of season

Man that sucks... I had a feeling that this was coming. Seems like he cut back on games the last couple of years. He will be missed for sure. I met him at a charity trivia night once. He sang the National Anthem beforehand. Couldn't have been a nicer guy. I concur - my dad and I talked to him for c...

Re: FTP: Oilers @ Blues 03/19/2019

Two most relatable lines for me: It's always darkest before you plunge off the next ocean cliff and get reference for just how ****ing dark things can get. And then you plunge deeper and deeper until you find the next cliff. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Life as an oil fan is great. I wonder how many of us...

Re: Mike Yeo FIRED

I am all for Q coming in if the Blues can swing it, but I have also really wanted Sutter. This team is in desperate need of a set of balls, and I thought Sutter could provide that. Considering Berube was tough and seems to be a no bullshit coach, he may actually be just what the doctor ordered. Ano...

Re: The case to fire Mike Yeo

It's not only the inefficient structure and game plan, it's personnel decisions. How Bouw has been used is absolutely flabbergasting - and the fact that he's still on the PK is unbelievable. It was very telling that when Yeo's job was on the line last week, Johnson got 3 consecutive starts. Obviousl...

Re: Not our captain.

In my opinion Petro is the weakest captain in Blues history. Blues captains: Al Arbour 67-68 thru 69-70 Barclay Plager 70-71 thru 75-76 Red Berenson 70-71 & 77-78 Barry Gibbs 78-79 Brian Sutter 79-80 thru 87-88 Bernie Federko 88-89 Rick Meagher 89-90 Scott Stevens 90-91 Garth Butcher 91-92 Bret...

Re: GDT: Blues @ Hawks, 7p, NBCSN/KMOX

did anyone expect a different result when the FIRST PUCK TOUCH the blues had was petro turning it over in his own end? is it just me, or is any line thomas is on the best line we roll out in any given game lately? Thats the second time this year JBo has been standing/sitting in the crease and knock...

Re: Parayko pressboxed?

Did you see the stat, the last 2 years, the Blues are 3-10-5 against central division teams. All 3 wins are against the Hawks. And that amounts to a .306 winning percentage...... Brutal

Re: Thomas

I recall hearing that the 9 game trial is not as important to teams any longer (still matters some). The more important number is somewhere around 36 games for the team. That will mean the season counts towards number of years necessary to reach UFA status. I believe the number is 40 games to count...

Re: Quenneville fired

I still remember this... https://mobile.twitter.com/JamesConner31/status/457286381610356736/photo/1 For those asking why Q would come back to STL, this is what immediatley pops into my head in the first game against the Hawks and then by the Blues play every game thereafter. The dude is passionate ...

Re: JayBo about to be pressboxed???

It's about time. I've been a J Bo hater for 2 seasons now. More about where he was in the lineup than his overall play - hard to argue that he isn't in our top 6 D corps, but he by no means should be a lock for PK and top pairing minutes. I was pleasantly surprised in the two preseason games I atten...

Re: GDT: Blues vs Jets 7PM FSMW

https://twitter.com/lkorac10/status/1047871801978699778 That Butler-Schmaltz pairing could get lit up bad Yeah that pairing worries me. Butler is a freaking dumpster fire. Hopefully they see very limited minutes. I think with all else being equal and for 1 game while Bortuzzo serves his suspension,...

Re: GDT: Blues vs Jets 7PM FSMW

I heard Tom Timmerman on the STLToday hockey podcast mention that of the 12 forwards in the lineup tonight, only Schwartz, Schenn and Tarasenko were in the lineup on opening night last year. Steen was hurt, Blais was in the minors, and most everyone else is no longer in the organization. Wild obser...

Re: Wilson gets 20 games

Capitals' T.J. Oshie on Tom WIlson's 20-game suspension: "I was pretty surprised. I think it's unfortunate for Tom that league is making an example out of him." I'm sorry old friend, but I think Tom Wilson kind of made an example of himself. How soon before TJ is flying a 'free Willy' pos...

Re: Jaskin and Thorburn on Waivers

This is a really good sign in my eyes. No more dicking around with these two. Thorburn brings almost nothing to the table. I actually don't mind Jaskin as a 4th line guy, but the fact that he got waived means that the Blues depth has pushed him off of the roster . 4 scoring lines will be fun to wat...

Re: Jaskin and Thorburn on Waivers

Mildly surprising that two guys that have been NHLers for a while are both being waived, but I can’t say I’m disappointed. Thorburn is redundant—an enforcer who rarely fights and almost never wins. Hell, he was playing for perhaps his career yesterday, and was on the ice for the Wilson hit, yet he ...

Re: The WOO

It was pretty annoying during the game against the Blue Jackets last Friday when basically the entire 3rd period was just random "Woo" yells every 10 seconds. If it were after a goal, a fight, an opponent penalty or hell even an opponent icing, i'd be all for it, even though I know nothing...
