You have literally said he could score 6 goals in a game and you’d still hate him and never want to see him in a Blues uniform again. :D

Glad you’re warming up. He’s an inconsistent player, but so is Bortuzzo and he doesn’t get nearly the hate of Sanford. And the fact remains, he’s still a better option than Brouwer.
I remembered that I took a stance before the season not to not hate on players. I’m going back to that mentality...so I don’t Hate Sanford.
I don’t care for Brouwer at all...he just blocks someone from playing when he’s playing. Hopefully he will be on waivers soon.
For the record ...I absolutely love everything about Bortuzzo. He’s the kind of guy you root for as a professional athlete to me.
Fuck that shit....hating players is every fans right!
I don’t hate the players. Just the fans.
Just a Russian propaganda account

Can I get an amen brothers and sisters?
My love and respect for this Blues team is growing, watered by the tears of their opponents and their fans.
Dunn already punished Trouba for those slashes. Glad the league got in on the action as well, probably because they don't want to piss off Dunn either.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

Mikkola has been extremely impressive imo. Kid has a future in this league.
I predict he'll be with The Blues from the start of next season (2020-21), and stay up all season. That means that Gunnarsson will not be back.

Gunner is under contract for another year. I don't see Army buying him out, as he just doesn't seem to do that, even though the numbers would be reasonable. I doubt he is tradable, and don't see why he would voluntarily leave money on the table. He will more likely be back as a number 8 or maybe sent down if he doesn't want to retire, but Army doesn't seem to do his guys like that. Guess we'll see

I remember saying that about the last Finnish defenseman to come up through the ranks for the Blues.

Tommy Koivisto, or Dave Pulkkinnen? Mikkola has a lot more skill, better skating, he's bigger and stronger, and has better hockey sense. He also has shown more poise and calmness, and comfortability in just his first 4 games than Koivisto EVER showed, and he played almost a whole season with The Blues. There is no comparison. Mikkola has NHL written all over him. Even if everything goes wrong other than health, he still should make a fine 3rd pairing guy. But, I think he'll play his best years as a solid #4.

He must have been to whom he was referring. But he didn't play much for The Blues. Koivisto played almost a full season.

Lindbohm would be an NHLer if he would have been a little more patient.
