I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of organ-eye-zational depth with the Blues. In years past, replacement players stuck out like a sore thumb… these guys can play. Great job Army!!!

One hell of a job.
No doubt... gotta love his style. Hitch would have wore his veterans down to a nub. Chief has his call-ups out there taking regular shifts with the game on the line, and they work their asses off for him. Mucho props to the coaching staff... Happy Birthday, Chief!!!

This might be a sign that the current Blues ownership has finally recognized the value of a single-focus NHL-AHL affiliation. But I still have my doubts that they have changed their tune. So enjoy it while the dream lasts.

Yes exactly. I've been screaming about this for years. It's why teams like the Red Wings were dominant for so long

It’s nice to see management doing what every average fan would say, and marry up the 3 Russians. Not only does it make sense but you found yourself a better player in Barbashev.
Hopefully, it convinces Tarasenko to change his tune and want to remain with the Blues.

I've been trying to figure out our forward lines for next season and we really do need him to stay.

Keep the Russian Troika rolling. The rest of the team will sort itself out.

I havent been this excited about a line since the Slovak line of Demitra, Handzus, Bartecko.
