Come on guys.....triplets are expensive! Shoot, now there is a fourth little mouth to feed. I’m sorry, but $64 million just wasn’t enough. Petro needed that extra million or two to make it all work!
Would be hilarious if Petro can't land a spot in Vegas and he comes back around to settle with Army for like 7x7.

Re: Torey Krug to St Louis for 7 years 6.5 Aav
68People keep talking about how Pietrangelo lead the Blues to the Cup. The player who lead the team tot he Cup is Binnington....Pietrangelo could have been replaced by a lot of players...also...he never lead anyone anywhere before Binnington and Berube showed up.
Re: Torey Krug to St Louis for 7 years 6.5 Aav
69And O’Reilly. I’d say Binnington first, and then O’Reilly, mainly because ROR was injured and wasn’t great in the first two rounds as a result. People lose sight of the fact that Petro was pretty bad in the early part of the playoff run. I think that first game ass kicking in San Jose was the bottom, and then he played well after that. But yeah, I would tend to agree with your take that he didn’t “lead the Blues to the Cup”.CaptSMRT wrote: Sun Oct 11, 2020 11:03 am People keep talking about how Pietrangelo lead the Blues to the Cup.

70He played great...but lets not confuse him with Mark Messier. Pietrangelo was here for a while and never lifted anything up on his shoulders and carried it.

Will ferrel is a good supporting actor, but if he doesnt have someone to carry him its not a good movie. John C Reilly is not that guy

Re: Torey Krug to St Louis for 7 years 6.5 Aav
74Petro is/was very good. He will be missed (assuming he's gone) but isn't Bobby Orr. To me there's no need to vilify him for leaving or make him out to be a deity for what he did here. Its kind of silly to rank importance in the Cup run. Remove any one of at least 5 guys and they don't win.
Anyway Krug is good.
