Speaking only for myself I’ve always liked Sanford regardless of his personal losses.
I think he’s a much better player than he gets credit for. Last year he struggled but who the hell didn’t for this team other than ROR Faulk and Perron?

Who can forget this great goal

This same energy wasn’t applied toward Petro. It was “fuck him”

I'm not endorsing this, but the obvious answer is because Schwartz has historically been much much better at hockey than Sanford.

No free passes for anyone from this “bitch ass” fan.

You're right. I did say that. BUT, Schwartz and the Blues just parted...........................I really wasn't happy at the Blues post game press conference after they got eliminated and Petro was asked about his contract situation and he was kind of snotty about it and said you'll find out................nothing like I hope to stay here, hope things work out........................show some love, you know?...................even Backes had shed tears in the locker room when the Blues got eliminated from the Sharks in their Cup run cause he knew it was over here....................for a guy that won a Cup, and was offered a max deal...................I mean shit..................but you're right....................... the same for Schwartz should apply to Petro............................but his departure was intense at the time so shit happens.

Why is everyone all cranky??? Its not like Schwartz is Joe Walsh.

Every team needs an alternate Chinese knock-off jersey.

If Bettman puts a team in China, will their fans buy American knock-offs?

Be a great way to grow the game while also creating jobs in America. win-win

One of the problems with a team in China... a guy like Thomas who misses more than he hits, would be taken out back and shot.... Gonna be tough for them to attract free-agents under those circumstances.

Sanford would be screwed

That name could work for hockey too

Hey All,

Hope you are all well. I never get around here anymore. Can't wait for hockey so I looked up the Cap Friendly page to see what were working with, then I saw Brandon Saad, and at first I wanted to barf. Then I remembered the Buch and 55 deals.

Can't wait for hockey.

Actually Saad is a pretty decent upgrade from 17 and an eventual replacement for 57.

Not necessarily a bad stat. If you have a lot of turnovers that also means you have the puck a lot. High risk, high reward.

the eye test says i'm blown away 91 isn't on that list.

Fitting E. Kane is at the top of the list since he's losing bets all the time.

I had the same reaction about Hoffman.
