Re: You Gotta Earn It!

I'll admit to being "old school" in much of my thinking. Being 6 years older than Moses, I guess it comes with the territory. Let me try and clear things up just a little. By my comments on the players, I do not absolve management. After 34 years as a supervisor in the trucking industry, ...

Re: You Gotta Earn It!

It definitely falls largely on the coach and management. I mean, if it's all about the players, who needs a coach? Coaches are the leader of the team. They set strategy. They motivate, inspire and get the most out of people. They make personnel decisions. They are IN CHARGE. The General Manager deci...

Re: The Trade that has to happen (next summer)

I like Petro more than some. I think he is a magician in the defensive zone, and he could put things together offensively. That said, Shatty is just something some teams don't have. I think we need him more than Petro. Sure, Petro plays against the best teams, but I think Shatty is under-rated defen...

Re: Ty Rattie

People have always knocked his skating ability . I thought he looked faster than I remembered and expected last night. He did look like maybe he had trouble changing direction quickly if that's what people mean..? That knock was warranted, and it was due to his first years in camp. He had what I ca...

Re: GDT: Blues @ VAN 10/16 9pm CST

I'm starting to think that Jaskin will never be more than a 3rd liner... he just, doesn't have that "next gear", ya know? I'm not sure about that. I think he needs some different linemates to compliment him. His skating looks better, and we've seen good things from in the past. I think th...

Thoughts on team composition

So I have to say, I'm surprised that I am this excited about the make up of this team. I was very disappointed more comprehensive changes weren't made in the offseason, especially with Hitch. And I'm not thrilled with Doug Armstrong either. That said, we are lucky we have an infusion of some skilled...

Re: Opening Night line-up on July 8th

I think assuming Fabbri makes the team as many expect, for your first three lines you gotta go: Schwartz - Stastny - Fabbri Steen - Lehtera - Tarasenko Jaskin - Brouwer - Backes Schwartz likes playing with Stastny. Steen plays well with Lehtera and Tarasenko as well. If it doesn't work well, swap hi...

Re: Shattenkirk on the block?

Matangama wrote:I would DESPISE it if they traded Shatty........but it all depends on the return. But that is one of the last guys they should consider trading, for fuck's sake.
Agreed. Return would have to be BIG and/or have another deal lined up to replace part of what he brings. Maybe sign Mike Green...?

Re: Gunnarsson is here to stay

Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into this. Army never wants to show he is anxious to make a move. Wants to max value. With that said, I don't think Gunnar was as bad as some others. He is an easy whipping boy. The thing is he doesn't really stand out with any of his skills, but is decent at most thin...

Re: Say the Blues do nothing...

I don't expect a major trade, because I don't see the trade partners who will give back what Army will want to make the team better if Oshie and/or Backes are given up. Not sure if they could get more value back for Berglund, either. I don't want to see them dump any of those players off for nothin...

Re: Offseason Overhaul

I don't hate Petro.and I know how good he is in the Dzone and that he's a minute muncher and a horse back there. With that said, for me personally, I find his game a bit disappointing. Agreed. But he did up his play in the playoffs. I'd be interested to see what he would look like in a more aggress...

Re: Malkin unhappy in Pit?

I like Malkin obviously but I don't see a way we can get him, make his salary work, and keep the players we want to. I'd rather go after one of Edmonton's centers in some way. Steen-New Center-Tarasenko Schwartz-Stastny-Fabbri Berglund-Lehtera-Jaskin Backes and Oshie moved. Youth in the group. If w...

Re: Official 2015 St. Louis Blues Offseason Rumor Thread

MPS could be an interesting cheap/young/fast 3rd line player for us if we play a faster game. I don't actually believe our system will change much though. But I think the days of 3rd liners being your grit guys are gone. I think you need young, cheap guys who can play fast, but lack the level of ski...

Re: Offseason Overhaul

I got tired of the trolls at stltoday and decided to join here. First time poster I went by Cupcrazy91 on Stltoday. It is clear the Blues need an overhaul to the core. These are my suggestions and trades/signings etc. If you disagree I don't really care, but let me know your thoughts on if the trad...
