Re: Allen will be the Blues playoff goalie (opinion)

UMSL, the problem is that if Allen gets us far in the playoffs or wins the Cup, he will get Elliott or more money and it will be hard to find a backup cheaper then he is this year, except for one of our young guys. If he screws the pooch then we have to find another goalie who can be a starter, if ...

Re: Steen, Tarasenko, Bortuzzo all out tomorrow

Bummer. It didn't sound like Steen's injury was this bad....I'm wondering if this is more "rest" and if we hadn't clinched a spot some of these guys would be playing. I think this is rest as in they're banged up and we absolutely don't want it becoming worse chasing a division title again...

Re: Allen will be the Blues playoff goalie (opinion)

I officially fully expect Brian Elliott to be traded in the offseason. No way is he going to be happy here. I don't know what kind of market there will be for him. Maybe San Jose or Edmonton. Elliott had to know that he was likely to be usurped at some point over these three years. If they viewed h...

Re: Miklasz on Blues, Cards, and Rams

He initiated the "cleanup" that got most of us banned. Some snitch called his attention to some shit that was going on on his board,the night the banhammer fell. I read it on his board the day we all got the gate. Yup. He went banhammer crazy after nuking LA trolling threads on Ramstalk. ...

Re: Barry Melrose says...

Hard to argue against the Rags once they added Yandle. I mean look at them:

McDonagh Girardi
Staal Boyle
Yandle Klein

Pretty impressive. Nashville's top two are better but they lack the overall depth and quality of the Rangers. After NY and Nashville I'd put the Blues and Hawks.

Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs Jets - 4/7 - 7:00pm

Lol at Shattenkirk. He applauded to the refs at the end of the game and apparently said "good game, good game." Scoresheet says he got a 10 minute misconduct at the end of the game for it! I saw that, atta Shatty! What a disgrace of a game by the refs. No hyperbole, that was the absolute ...

Re: Blues Announce Ticket Prices for First Round

Cap team comes with cap team playoff prices. Can't have it both ways. Could be worse, you could be paying what Vancouver, Chicago, New York, and others pay for seats. Yeah, but I also don't have to buy any. :) No doubt. Just don't wonder why they start slashing budget in a few years when they can't...

Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs Jets - 4/7 - 7:00pm

Those D pairings look jacked with both Shatty and Gunnar playing on the wrong side. I expect to see these jumbled again before the night is over. Bold prediction - we see Rattie's first NHL goal tonight. 2nd period, from just inside the left dot. I called Jaskin's first goal last season while at th...

Re: Opinion: Blues Will Not Fire Hitchcock

There needs to be coaching and player changes if the Blues don't make it out of the first round this year. A good example of keeping the status quo would be the Sharks. They finally hit the wall this year and won't make the playoffs. But how many years did they run out the same coach, same core of ...

Re: Opinion: Blues Will Not Fire Hitchcock

I may be mistaken but I thought the Blues and Hitch had a mutual option this summer? Hitch is going year to year now, but has said he wants to continue coaching and has no intentions of stopping any time soon. I think it was widely speculated among fans that he might step down after this season, bu...

Not a fan. Never read the books but saw the first movie and didn't like it at all. I was surprised too, I thought I'd like these movies but nothing clicked for me.

Re: Allen starting Tuesday

It's just a really difficult time to be switching horses. What happens if Allen falls apart the last two games of the season? Hitch knows more than me, that's for sure, so I figure he has good reason. It's just scary. I keep having visions of Roman Turek. It's not ideal at all but there's really no...

Re: Opinion: Blues Will Not Fire Hitchcock

I'll say I'm really not the biggest Hitch fan in the world, and I was really concerned after losing and looking awful to Van and Clb that the Blues were going into a death spiral yet again at the end of a season under Hitch. Good news is the ship seems to be righted and Hitch has seemingly handed th...

Re: Wolves -Parayko

Unfortunately, I played baseball before I played hockey, so my Dad made the mistake of buying me a right curved stick as a kid (any coach worth his salt will tell you the opposite for a righty). Although I am right handed, shooting right has got me messed up a bit, as I play guitar left handed, bec...
