Re: Bob Hartley Fired

Boston didn't fire Julien, so my hope (as much as it pains me to say it) is that Hitch both wins the Cup and comes back for another run. I think the Blues should have found a way to convince Babcock that Toronto's rebuild wasn't worth the extra cash when he could win Cups here. That was the perfect ...

Re: Caps-Flyers last night

There's no way they are a Cup contender next year, but a wild card spot isn't supremely out of the question, depending on what Don Sweeney does over the next few months. So I wouldn't say backwards, more stagnant (fight for a spot but still a chance for DNQ). Their biggest challenge is that the pari...

Re: Caps-Flyers last night

It's a shame Boston folded at the end. Either them or Detroit would have at least found a way not to get swept by Washington. Philly coasted through the last three weeks and seems to have peaked too soon. Philly and Detroit weren't as good as Boston IMO (even though Boston's defense was absolutely h...

Re: Other series around the West...

My question is how the hell have they scheduled every other WC series to only be headed to game 3 while the Blues and Hawks play game 4 Tuesday? I'm not complaining, just trying to figure out their logic. Maybe there just wasn't a way to schedule it any better, but it seems weird to me all the same....

Re: Playoff schedule is up

830 start time? Ugh. Ill be tired thursday I feel pretty bad for Blues fans or anyone else interested in watching on the East Coast. How do the Central division foes get such a horrible start time? I don't think the national telecasts need to line up so nicely anyways. Go ahead and broadcast them a...

Worried

I'm usually not a glass half-empty kind of guy, but geeze. I'm seriously worried about this team's ability to get out of the first round of the playoffs. Last night's game was just a bear to watch. My main concern is two-fold: that the Blues play down (or at) the level of their competition, and that...

Re: Winter Classic Alumni Game

You can guess who I'd want in goal for the Blues.

Would love to see the guys who were here for far too short a time. Particularly Oates and Stevens, maybe Brind'amour. Also Bill Guerin and Martin Brodeur just because.

No one has mentioned Scott Young. Can't have Mellanby without Young in my mind.

Re: Gunnarsson re-signed.

Theiceman wrote:WRT Shattenkirk, I'm not sure what's up with this guy. He's not the offensive threat anymore and if he's not bringing that presence he's not really much use to the team at his salary.

I'd much rather pay Shattenkirk 4.25 mil/season for what he does than pay Petro 6.5. Just my $0.02.

Re: GDT: Blues vs Wild 7PM NBCSN

I just don't understand why they don't play the same way for the entire game. I'm past blaming the coaches or the players, now I'm just blaming everyone. It's frustrating to watch. They put up masterful performances in the first two periods, tallying goal after goal, then just decide they don't need...

Re: Anybody watch other NHL games?

We traded up to take Eller, and also drafted Ian Cole 18th. Max Pacioretty and P.K. Subban went later in the first and second rounds, respectively. Then we gave Montreal Eller in the Halak trade (NEVER trade a scoring forward for a goaltender, folks). So basically, the best thing we have remaining o...

Re: The case vs. Doug Armstrong

I'm not going to go through and do the other guys because I really don't care to belabor this point anymore. I'm just going to leave it by saying all of our biased eyes can lie, but the hard numbers like this dont. You know what doesn't lie? The eye test. Goals, assists, primary assists, it's all d...

Re: The case vs. Doug Armstrong

Good points! QFA...I think Petro is the best defensemen on this team when you're discussing defense only. I don't think Shatty's defense is better than Petro's, I think his offensive skills and team leadership skills are more valuable dollar-wise than what Petro provides defensively for this team, n...

The case vs. Doug Armstrong

No trades because of injuries and cap space AND every other team wanted to hose us for prospects. I'm not too upset with his decision to not get hosed. The GM's true narrative (although unspoken to the media) is likely that these players need to perform in the playoffs or have their bags packed duri...

Re: Anybody watch other NHL games?

Yes, I have an NHL.tv subscription and I watch a lot of other NHL games. Mostly original six and expansion six teams, Canadian teams and the Avalanche. From watching all over the NHL, you can certainly tell that other teams find ways to score more than the Blues do. The best thing the Blues do offen...

Re: How does it make you feel?

From Mark Lazerus' twitter page ( https://twitter.com/MarkLazerus/status/703414453040082944 ): #Blackhawks gave up two former first-rounders, a 2016 first-rounder, and two 2018 picks for Ladd, Weise and Fleischmann, all pending UFAs. As a Blues fan, I'm loving it. Including the Saad trade last year,...

Re: Loui Eriksson- wouldya?

My oh my... this thing has a bit of traction. I just strolled over to the Bruins SBNation blog and can't believe the top story. And no, I totally did not write it, especially since I think the ideas are underpays for ShattyDeuces, but still. New link here... http://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/2016/2...
