I would be 100% ok with this. This is reasonable.

Re: Do we resign Pietrangelo or let him walk?
Trade Allen, re-sign Pietrangelo. The end. Unfortunately, that would mean going with a lesser backup on the cheap, which will cost some wins, but it solves any cap issues irt re-signing Pietrangelo and the 2020 RFAs, even though there aren't that many and they are all lower end in terms of salary, ...

Re: Do we resign Pietrangelo or let him walk?
Also: I wouldn't even even-swap Pietroangelo with Karlsson. I think Pietro is the better overall player - at least with the Blues' system. Karlsson makes $11.5 a year. That makes Pietro a significant steal for us right now considering Pietro is out-producing him, but we'll just say they're both rela...

Do we resign Pietrangelo or let him walk?
I vote resign. Yes, he will be expensive. Yes, letting him walk will free up cap space. Yes, we have several young depth that will last years to come for much cheaper. This Blues team is no longer rebuilding. They are built . Given the Cup last year, and a President's Trophy contender this year, it'...

Should an indirect hand pass be reviewable?
The biased Blues fan in me wishes it was reviewed and nullified, of course. But take this game out of it, would I feel the same way? If this were reviewable, there's a lot of technicalities people are overlooking, here. It's not as easy as saying "it's reviewable" and then it's finished. There needs...

Re: GDT Rd 2 Gm 1: 4/25/19 | 8:30 PM CT | vs Stars | NBCSN/N
The refs were playing nervous, tonight, overturning themselves. When the ref called two matching roughing minors, that wasn't consistent with the original penalty call. The ref signaled a penalty as the Stars player collided with Binnington. The ref has two options here: He's either calling the Blue...

Re: Other Playoff Series Thread
Here's my thoughts on the Eakin call: Don't call a 5-minute major in a deciding game, if there's any inkling of doubt there. Then what you risk is (questionable) officiating deciding the outcome of the game, which, in this case, it did. If it were game 2 or 3, that's fine. That gives Vegas the oppor...

Does anyone feel bad for Jake Allen?
I don't mean feel bad enough that he should play. Business wise, it's the right decision. But I mean on a personal level. They didn't show him on camera during the series yet. He didn't come out to congratulate Binnington on the win. The announcers don't mention him by name. I feel that he's embarra...

Re: Jake Allen to start in Game 4
I am a huge supporter of Elliot, was glad he got the opportunity to finally start a Playoff series, thought it was completely unacceptable he was given the short end of the stick last year considering how well he's played for us, and thought his swap in the Dallas game was unnecessary. And Elliot ha...

Re: GDT Game 1: 5/15/16 | 7:00PM CST | v Sharks | NBCSN/Y98
I'm not going to lie, but playing the Sharks scares me. Playing Chicago scared me too, and we struggled through that one, and now we are facing a much hungrier team, deeper into the Playoffs, so it's going to Chicago on steroids. When you compare with the Blues: 1) Sharks are playing desperation hoc...

Re: Round 2 : Dallas v St. Louis
Elliot has been a rock, Elliot made better saves than Lehtonen, a loss for the Blues does not indicate by default an issue with goaltending. Elliot is in playoff mode right now and playing the best he's ever been, and if we get his mind out of this mode by starting a fresh goaltender, it could lead ...

Re: GDT Game 7: 4/25/16 | 7:30PM CST | v Hawks | NBCSN/FSMW/
I want to enjoy the moment but I must ask the inevitable question: If the Blues go far, does Elliot get resigned after this (his salary would go up drastically) and remain our constant goaltender for the next several seasons? Or, with Elliot's value at a sky high, do we trade him and get some all-st...

Re: Fire Hitch before game 7
Stastny only taking one offensive zone faceoff in Game 6 is a coaching problem. When your leading faceoff % guy who took the most faceoffs during the regular season in spite of playing 15 fewer games isn't taking key offensive zone faceoffs, the coach isn't putting the best players in the best posi...

Re: Fire Hitch before game 7
I blame Hitch for the 2nd period - I bet he told the team to play defensive/conservative hockey to hold the lead: that style of thinking does NOT work in Playoffs, and does NOT work against the HAWKS of all teams in the Playoffs. If the Blues can play the entire game as if they are behind, dominatin...

I really thought we were going to lose. An afternoon playoff game in Chicago's building. We weren't playing with the same intensity as the first two games - there were a lot of turnovers, and the Blues had trouble setting things up in the offensive zone. We were really fortunate that the goals we ha...
