He's been the best player on the team since we acquired him. Too bad he's not more durable.Robb_K wrote: Thu Oct 19, 2023 9:50 pm The Blues were dominated by a fairly weak team. They seemed uninspired tonight. But, being without Buchnevich is a lot to overcome for this thin team.
The Blues and Binner were red hot the first 3 games of last year and then the rest of the season happened. Careful doing victory laps this early.CaptSMRT wrote: Fri Oct 20, 2023 6:50 am Where are all of the Hoffer is going to challenge Binnington for the starting slot folks at???
It's a good indicator of how our season might go when we are checking out the draft prospects three games into the season.Dave's a mess wrote: Fri Oct 20, 2023 6:34 am https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sports ... on/sn-amp/

I'd like to see Perunovich get in but who would they sit? From what I have heard it sounds like Faulk has actually played pretty well. Krug is a third pair power play guy and I'm not sure why they are pushing him up the depth chart.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Fri Oct 20, 2023 10:36 am I'll just say the pairing of Krug and Faulk may be the worst in hockey. GIVE PERUN A CHANCE.
Also, Kapanen looks like a player the Blues got for free from another team as a castoff.

As for Kapanen; I think the Saad-Schenn-Kapanen line should be matching up against other teams top lines in order to have better matchups for our other two top lines. If they aren't going to do this then some real changes need to be made.

Technically you did see the game if you watched any games last year. A lot of the same. Low effort, terrible PK, no PP, goalie hung out to dry. That about sums it up.BillP. wrote: Fri Oct 20, 2023 12:18 pm I didn't see the game. So they were that bad?
Unless there's a miracle deal somewhere I think it's time to tear it down and go to the kids.
Get as many draft picks as you can and lets get the ball rolling to a new era.

They technically have one in Ryan Miller. No idea what specific role he plays for Army though.Ozzies09tc wrote: Fri Oct 20, 2023 2:46 pm We need an assistant GM.
Army can wheel and deal and take advantage of the other GM's in trades as he always does, and the assistant will handle the contracts/signings/extensions/NTC/NMC's

Dude is only 36 but has been dealing with the contracts for 10 years now :O
So this rat-bastard is the culprit of our defensive crutch and I've been hating army for it this whole time....sigh
The Blues should probably move on from guys named Ryan Miller at this point.

"...
