Let's Go Blues

Pretty amazing sense of awareness to get the first shot blocked and then softly chip it in for the OT winner. Now it's a best of 3. At first I wanted Vegas to win this series but now I'm all in hoping the Canadiens do it. They've buttoned down Vegas so well. They deserved to win that game last nigh...

Montreal fighting back in Game 2. (yes, I'm way behind watching a replay) Tampa looked like Tampa in Game 2 vs the Isles. Game 1, the Isles played perfectly defending cross-ice passes and the Lightning didn't work enough at North/South skating and lost. Yea I'm getting the distinct takeaway that fo...

I'm cheering for Islanders & Montreal.

Lightning just won, the Golden Knights fans haven't felt any pain yet. I judge these things off of whose fan base I want to win more

His value is very low. For that reason alone I seriously doubt the return would be worth considering a trade.

Vegas looked tired - travel, post hard played 7-game series, rusty goaltender, the altitude thing vs the Avs who had been off for a week. Imagine resting up and getting healthy for a team with that kind of speed. IMO, it's a horrible matchup for Vegas, because they aren't a "fast" team beyond their...

Read an article somewhere last night that said he actually did end up having covid. :o He did. Said he had some symptoms for the first handful of days and then those went away. He and the other 2 on the COVID list vaccinated. I don't know if those details make me feel better or worse about the whol...

I can't even imagine getting Conner McDavid, have a second pairing center in Draisaitl and this has happened. What on earth are they doing? You wouldn't think it'd be this hard. If you're an Athletic subscriber, fantastic article this morning: The NHL gifted the Oilers’ Connor McDavid; six years lat...

Cheers to the few of us left here that have been on the same website for 20 years now. Here's to the next time around. :okman: Holy crap, has it been 20 years? It's kind of stunning to think about isn't it? I can't think of any other website I've checked daily for anywhere close to that many years....

Wow. What a disaster of a game 3 by Edmonton. Giving up two goals in something like 16 seconds and then losing in overtime after being up 4-1 with 8 minutes left.

How much longer until McDavid asks for a trade?

Avalanche 8
Blues 0

Yea Eichel is a pipedream for the Blues. We have no blue chip prospects. Even assuming something like "Thomas, Kyrou, Perunovich + 18th overall pick this year" would be enough (I don't think it is, we'd get blown out of the water by another team's offer) for him we'd still have to send salary the ot...

No Sundqvist, which would be huge as a defensive forward presence. No Pietrangelo (It's a net negative, I'm sorry but it is. I'd rather have Petro at $9 AAV + another $4 million AAV defenseman than Faulk + Krug. And I don't even think it's close). Tarasenko has some moments but overall since he's b...

I just don't see the Blues sustaining the style of play needed for 60 minutes every night to beat the Avs. If they slip at all, at any point in a game, the Avs will take advantage of it. Don't want to say this, but that's the way it is. It's tough to put aside being a Blues fan and seeing that the ...

Jordan Binnington's next postseason win will tie Mike Liut and Greg Millen (17) for the most wins in the Stanley Cup Playoffs by a Blues goaltender. Wow. :shock: :shock: In only his 3rd season, Binnington could hold the franchise record for most postseason wins. Have to get two wins before that hap...

What I got from Game 1, Colorado is just better than the Blues. Their top players not only have skill, they have size and they used it. MacKinnon was literally shoving Blues defenseman off of him, like they were small, and it wasn't Krug he was doing that to. They aren't a team that gets rattled by...

JR's headline today summed it up: "You can't do more than Binnington did last night. And that's a problem for the Blues." Woof. That was about as bad as I hoped it wouldn't be. 1) Neutral zone. We're not clogging it up. MacK and top line just buzzed through there almost all night. We CANNOT get in a...

Words cannot express how crappy it is that Perron is in the COVID protocol. One of the best players on this team all year and when we need every single body he's not in. GAAAAAAH. Tarasenko needs to step up. In a huge way. I kinda like the entire hockey world just absolutely shi***** on us saying we...

The league isn't shoving a solid prospect into the bitter cold pit of Buffalo, New York. Unless there's some sort of malfunction, the Sabres aren't getting the #1. I feel bad for them too, but hey at least they have the Bills on a solid upward trajectory to keep their minds off the completely dysfu...

Reinhart wants out too just hasn't been "as" vocal about it. What a mess. I feel so bad for Sabres fans. I guess the "good news" is they got $31.7 million in cap space this year and if Eichel gets traded they "should" get an absolute haul (just takes 2 teams to get into a bidding war!) for him. If I...

Between Oshie and Backes that night I was a puddle of emotions

What a fantastic send off for Backes and what an interview. Guy is a legend. Fantastic ending, what class from both the Ducks for dressing him and the Blues for sending him off the right way.
