Re: Alex Steen

Everybody was happy with the Boyes and McDonald signings. We were all THRILLED to sign Kariya. Now people want to hold those contracts against him? Yes!!! He's paid to make these decisions. We're not. We are allowed to be 'wrong', he'd better be right more often then not. Boyes and McD arn't anywhe...

Re: Alex Steen

When a free agent is worth the mega contract, they will have the space. Until then, the small deals like that- $2 mill a year = awesome. They've already dished out 4 mill a year deal to Brewer, Jackman, Boyes, and McDonald. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this offseason will be HUGE in i...

Re: So... what are we supposed to do until Thursday?

Also, GM meetings began today, so start your speculation. The big topic is head injuries. I heard of some strange playoff format discussions, too. Teams ranked 1st - 7th advance, with the division winners advancing as 1, 2, 3 seeds. This leaves the 8th spot open. The proposal was that the final pla...

Re: Blues Acquire Matt D’Agostini From MTL for Aaron Palushaj

I’m told that Palushaj flat-lined in the eyes of the organization. Still 20 years old, it seems a bit early to make a judgment like that, but evidently the Blues saw a trend that they didn’t particularly like. -JR http://interact.stltoday.com/blogzone/morning-skate/uncategorized/2010/03/blues-acqui...

Re: Olympic Impact on NHL Popularity

the NHL WOULD gain more viewers if they weren't on Versus. Its just not enough exposure. People will forget. I do think there will be an increase in interest, I just dont think it will be as much as there could have been.

Re: NHLers in the Olympics...Just Say No!

Ummm... I'm gonna say yes every time. That game was outstanding. And its because NHLer's were there. And also if you keep NHLer's out, it won't stop the KHL from sending out its players and stomping everybody else (especially on home ice in 2014). Especially since the KHL looks like a joke right now...

This could be one of those trades where somebody tried to pick pocket the Blues.

Re: Not a proud moment...

Internet or not, you don't want to go around spouting off tales you can't verify.

I've seen the Blues out. Its not hard if you know your way around the local bar scene. They like to have fun. Too much fun? Eh, who knows, I probably have too much fun too according to some people.

I've sported a v-neck lately and I am not ashamed to admit it. Maybe a little. I was at least moderately conflicted about it.

Re: Brad Boyes = top 5 -best shootout guy in the league?

Dennis Wideman had no value? Yeah, I think we came out ahead in the trade, but Wideman is/was NOT Christian Backman. Wideman had 50pts and was +32 for Boston last year... looks like some value to me. He's having an off year this year - just like Boyes. And when they are both having off years, I pre...

Re: Blues lowest scoring team post lockout

Larry Pleau has to love that JD gets all the blame for personnel decisions. I know JD is a huge part and he influences the direction the team takes. But he is not the GM. We have like 4 of those. As frustrated as people have been extending Brewer and Jackman... they haven't been signs for 15 years. ...

Re: Improvement?

See, my whole point is how could AM have the structure so effed up and still get them into the playoffs a year or two ahead of schedule. Especially with all the injuries last year. And, as far as "losing the room", if that was the problem, I guess Payne hasn't "found it". Whatever Murray did right ...

Re: GDT: Blues @ 'Hawks, 7:30 PM Central, FSMW, KMOX

If King and Jansen play, Blues win.

If only Jansen plays, Blues lose a close game.

If only King plays, Blues win in extra time.

If neither play, Blues lose big.

Re: Maple Leaf Blockbuster Trades

Rumors of Calgary shipping off Jokinen and Prust for Higgins and Kotalik have been going about... but I guess the counter-rumor is Kotalik doesnt want to wave his no trade clause.

Calgary is stirring the pot.
