Re: GDT: Blues vs Rangers - 7:00 4/6
26Beeeyoootiful 2 on 1, by Schenn and Kapanen, after a steal by Faulk! Schenn makes the perfect pass to the driving Kapanen, who buries it past the outstretched Halak!!! Blues win 3-2 in OT!!!
Just think how much money Bedard would eventually cost and fuck up our cap. Blues have thrived on being deep under Army so think positive that we’ll have a great draft. If they do, then we’ll be in great shape!RAFritchey wrote: Thu Apr 06, 2023 9:36 pm As much as I love seeing Toropchenko, Kapanen, and other younger/newer players doing well, it's frustrating falling out of the Bedard sweepstakes entirely.
If we played the entire season the way we've played since the trade deadline (22 points in 18 games), we'd be edging Seattle out for the first wildcard spot right now (before their game tonight), and well ahead of Winnipeg for the second wildcard.
Actually our top pick is currently tied with Ottawa for 11th-12th. Same points in same # of games, they have more regulation wins than we do so they'd be 12th right now and we'd still have a slight chance in the Bedard sweepstakes with the #11 pick.CaptSMRT wrote: Fri Apr 07, 2023 9:53 am I don't fault the players for playing. This was kind of a fucked year... once Perron wasn't resigned the writing was on the wall... O'Reilly was pretty much playing for the trade deadline all season... Tarasenko had already demanded to be traded, there circumstance where he was re-signing here. Armstrong got a good return... the Blues have three first round picks.. one top ten. I don't think you could ask for more considering the state of affairs. Time to take a deep breath and repeat the Blues Fan Creed... Next Season Will Be Better.
