Re: Wilson gets 20 game suspension

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I don't think this hit by itself warranted 20 games. I do, however, think that Tom Wilson making this hit warrants 20 games. I remember last preseason when he was disciplined twice for hits against Blues players. The discussion at the time was that he didn't have ...

Re: GDT Game 2: 10/6/18 | 7:00 PM CT | vs Blackhawks | FSMW/

I think it's too early to have any real strong feelings about this team. Decent amount of turnover this offseason. If you count Blais, 1/2 of our 12 forwards are new this year. There's going to be some growing pains. 1st game: Game was competitive until Allen melted down. Allen's my biggest concern ...

Re: Tyler Bozak a Blue

Does it really matter he's getting paid $5 million? I'm only partially kidding. We're not in cap trouble and won't be as far as I can tell for the next several years. Schenn and Pietrangelo are the next guys we're going to have to pay and that's not until the summer of 2020. After this year's RFA's...

Re: He's baaaack

I don't know what to make of this one. $4 mil AAV seems reasonable for him. 4 years does too I guess. He'll be 34 when it's over. And, he had a very solid year in Vegas.

On the other hand, he just won't go away. I don't even hate on him too much. But, how does he always end up back in STL?

Re: ROR a Blue

It's a lot, but it's the kind of move we needed to have a chance to be more than just another decent team. Berglund and Sobotka are fairly easily replaced. Thompson hurts some, but if he turns into a better player than ROR he's at the apex of his potential. Same thing with the draft picks. It's a lo...

Re: 2018 MLB Season Thread

Can't believe it's already a month into the season. I'm more optimistic about the cards today than I was a month ago. I still don't think we're one of the top teams, but 90-92 wins doesn't seem crazy. Before the season, I thought it would be more like 85-87.

Re: #YeoMustGo

I'm normally not in favor of firing coaches after a year and half, especially when the first ~1/2 of his time was so successful. In general, I just don't think that's a good habit. But, I'm not real happy with the response to adversity from this team. There was some bad luck this year, but the team ...

Re: GDT Game 62: 2/23/18|7:00 PM CT|vs Jets|FSMW/KMOX

Sounds like Allen is in net tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if this game influences the trade deadline. I really hate when GMs do stuff like that though. Army should have a good feel for whether this team can buy or not. A single data point (how we play tonight) shouldn't move the needle that much ...

Re: Lead-up to the trade deadline thread

-I'm surprised by the Rangers too.

-I've heard something along the lines of Berglund + Sobotka + Fabbri for Hoffman + somebody else (forget who, but Hoffman is the main part). I think I'd be on board with that.

-I just got a notification from The Score that Blues are 1 of 7 teams in on Brassard.

Re: Blues acquire Soshnikov

What am I missing here? Not that I care much about a 4th round pick, but I'm missing the logic on this one. He has 14 career points, is on IR, doesn't have a US visa, and (as far as I can tell) is only under contract through this season.

Re: GDT Game 59: 2/13/18 | 7:00 PM CT | @ Predators | FSMW/K

The inconsistency is a problem. I've said it before, but the best thing for this team is for Allen to figure it out again. Not that he's been awful or that goaltending has been a big problem (Hutton has been great). But, a locked in Allen would make a lot of problems not look so bad.

"I thought we'd been a little flat..."? Gee whiz, ya think? I just hope that between now and the deadline they don't magically go on a tear that encourages Army to start trading prospects for overpaid rentals (regardless of what he already said about his stance on rentals this year).

Re: 2018 Winter Olympics Thread

I've worried about North Korea doing something dumb, but I don't think it's going to happen. It's really nice that the two Koreas are playing as one for this too.

I love everything Olympics, so I'm stoked for this.

Re: GDT Game 55: 2/6/18 | 7:00 PM CT | vs Wild | NBCSN/KMOX

7-5-1 is .577 which is a decent bit ahead of .500. It's a 95 point pace which last year would have been good enough for the playoffs. Worth noting that the sample is so small that a win or loss will swing the percentage to .536 or .607, so we can't draw huge conclusions on what to expect going forwa...

Re: GDT Game 55: 2/6/18 | 7:00 PM CT | vs Wild | NBCSN/KMOX

I'm about as big of a Jake Allen apologist as there is. But, this is the second time Hutton has been pulled and Allen promptly lets in a couple goals. He clearly has the talent to be a good number 1, but he's gotta be able to make the best of an opportunity sometime.
