Re: GDT Game 53: 2/1/18 | 6:00 PM CT | @ Bruins | FSMW/KMOX
If the goalie isn't making any effort, it matters. Especially when it comes down to a judgement call by the referee. The referee deemed that Allen couldn't have made a save on the play, regardless of the interference, based on the video evidence. That video evidence shows Allen not even trying to m...

Re: Lead-up to the trade deadline thread
It would be pretty hard for me to trade Jake Allen. Even ignoring the fact that it would probably be selling low (at least a little), I think Allen is our best bet for the playoffs. Hutton has played really well, but it's only 19 starts. And it's not real common for a career backup to suddenly be a ...

https://twitter.com/jprutherford/status/959267401463484416 This doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, as a Blues fan, I'd like to see a little more urgency from Allen in that situation. But, I don't understand how that impacts the call. He was out of the crease because of the Bruin player sliding i...

Re: GDT Game 53: 2/1/18 | 6:00 PM CT | @ Bruins | FSMW/KMOX
I'd like to hear the explanation on the goal being upheld. I thought that was interference too. Only thing I can think of is that the Bruin player's feet got tangled up with Pietro's and they're calling the contact with Allen as incidental to that.

Re: Lead-up to the trade deadline thread
I'm torn on how to approach it. I guess it would be like this. High cost players need to be more than rentals. I'm not giving up the world for 2 months of John Tavares. But, I might give up the world for 8 years of John Tavares. I'm not sure how realistic it is, but that would be a requirement for m...

Re: GDT Game 52: 1/30/18 | 7:00 PM CT | vs Canadiens | FSMW/
If I'm Armstrong, I'm thinking, "Great job Hutton, but Jake, please figure it out before the playoffs (and really before April)." Best case scenario for the Blues is that Jake gets an opening (maybe a spot start or something) and he takes back over without the coaching staff steering it in that dire...

Re: the song remains the same
I agree with Oakland. I think this was just a slump. While I think there's a discussion to be had about how young players are used, an injury to a key guy on the Blues doesn't make a prospect ready for the NHL. He's either ready or he's not. And while there are certainly underperforming players whos...

If he's ready, he's ready, but I'd almost rather him sit on Thursday and come back after the AS break. He's just barely past the minimum time for reevaluation, so an extra week of rest might be good.

Re: GDT Game 48: 1/18/17 | 6:30 PM CT | @ Senators | FSMW/KM
I think we ride the hot hand with the hope/expectation of Allen taking back over before the playoffs. Hutton is playing great right now and Allen isn't, but I still see Allen as the guy I want in the playoffs.

Re: GDT Game 47: 1/16/17 | 6:00 PM CT | @ Leafs | FSMW/KMOX
Needed a game like this. My cable went out in the 2nd period, but came on with about 2 1/2 minutes to go. First thing I thought when we pulled Hutton was how winning that game could spur a winning streak. Hopefully the time off plus this kind of win makes that happen.

Re: the song remains the same
I dunno, I'm just not that down on the team right now. I mean, the results lately have been bad. Some of the play has been too. Weren't scoring enough for a bit (although the chances were there in some of the games). Allen has been bad lately too. Not as bad as last year at this time, but bad. So, I...

Re: GDT Game 42: 1/2/18 | 7:00 PM CT | vs Devils | FSMW/KMOX
Blues lucky, getting offside ruled on Devil's 3rd goal. But I hate that rule. It should be the plane of the line, like it always was in the past. I don't like it either, but for a different reason. I hate that a goal can be disallowed for somebody being a hair offside after looking at it for 5 minu...

Re: GDT Game 40: 12/29/17 | 7:30 PM CT | vs Stars| FSMW/KMOX
Does anyone know what the penalty was that the Blues got with 2:30 left that handed the game to Dallas? I didn’t get to watch the game, but it sounds like a pretty typical result. There was a scuffle around the crease by Allen. Edmundson got a roughing minor, the only penalty handed out. In fairnes...

I'm not sure what the deal is in the 3rd period, but I don't like it. I think they were doing something similar early in the season too, but pulling games out.

Re: GDT Game 37: 12/21/17 | 8:00 PM CT | @ Oilers | FSMW/KMO
The rough patch we're going through doesn't bother me a ton. Injuries, streaks follow streaks, etc. But, games like last night need to be won. Losses like that are what turn bad stretches into horrible ones, because it's a missed chance to limit the damage.

Re: Brayden Schenn
It might be a hair early since it's been less than half a season. This is about the point we locked Lehtera up to that awful contract after he started hot. But, this doesn't feel fake. It's trending toward an amazing trade and I don't expect that to change.

Re: GDT Game 29: 12/7/17 | 7:00 PM CT | vs Stars | FSMW/KMOX
This is a cool story about the game. Hutton got hurt during warmups and a season ticket holder was signed to a tryout contract for the game. He dressed, but Husso got there before the end of the first period. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/hockey/professional/former-slu-goalie-stewart-was-on-standby...
