Let's Go Blues

The issue with an ROR extension right now, beyond term, is what's the cap going to do next season. It wasn't supposed to stay flat for this season and was supposed to see a big increase when Seattle joined. Neither happened. Thanks Covid. Planning for future cap is a GM's nightmare right now. I sti...

Calling it right now that O'Reilly is gone next summer. First, he's represented by Newport. Don't need to say anything other than that. Second, Army doesn't give two figs about continuity of the roster, if anything it's "who can I replace him with for cheaper?" which makes some sense in the aggregat...

Not only did Florida get totally fleeced, Calgary got the best individual player in the deal. Huberdeau is definitely better than Tkachuk. Maybe the Flames fans will lay off their GM, he pulled off a complete heist. Completely disagree. Maybe I think Tkachuk is by far by the better player. Regardle...

I would add one more to the mix: Would Army allow Tarasenko's representation to possibly discuss an extension with whatever team we'd trade him to? That would increase the return we would get from the Islanders or whoever, and also clear the same cap space. Yea, there's a lot of balls in the air at ...

If Doug Armstrong somehow pulls off a trade for Matthew Tkachuk and signs him to an extension I take back every bad thing I said about him ever.

Seeing what Leddy and Perron each signed for, looks like Armstrong made a choice. It was one or the other. Leddy probably could've gotten more elsewhere. I think you're right Army viewed it as an either/or situation (he basically said as much with this "rob peter to pay paul" comment in the presser...

Perron not being done yet is making me nervous. What's the hold up?! Word on the street is that Husso is gone. Strick doesn't seem to think it's a foregone conclusion, as he really likes it in St. Louis and has a great relationship with Binner but I just can't see how we can afford him given what he...

The issue with bringing in M. Tkachuck is he is due a massive payday, like the 10M AAV type and equivalent salary would have to go the other way. A 100 point season is going to demand that kind of payday. Kyrou won't account for that. Yup. So even if (a HUGE, GIGANTIC "if") Army was somehow able to...

Free agents: Perron UFA - expect to re-sign. No idea for how much though. Bozak UFA (expect him to retire) Leddy UFA Rosen UFA (stays on AHL 2-way contract) Mikkola RFA Perunovich RFA The cap is everything. Projected cap space: $9,012,500 (with Rosen re-signed calculated in as 6th defenseman) (Woul...

Now 0 - 3. Think I'll watch something else. I did. Utterly disgusted. Didn't turn it back on until I got the alert that we scored to make it 3-2. I don't even feel bad about it. That was an atrocious 1st period by the Blues and but for Husso's crazy saves the Blues should've been down 4-0 after the...

I'm afraid we can probably file this one under the "last game of the season" category for the Blues. Winning it would be nice but also delaying the probable inevitable. Don't care, I'd rather lose on home ice in game 6 than the rollicking nonsense I'm sure the Avs fans will be displaying tonight. I...

Husso has basically played himself off the team. FWIW, and I hate to play this game, but Husso was 4th round/94th overall and 24 picks later was Igor Shesterkin who is arguably the best goalie in the league. I would say pump the breaks. Just like "trade Binnington!" was a drastic overreaction 3 mon...

I'm not as blood boiled as some are. I don't think Kadri intended to hurt Binner. I DO think he was going for a loose puck and in the act of it went "oh no I ran into the goalie!" There was intent to throw Binnington off his game by getting in his grill under the guise of a hockey play. I don't know...

Springfield will face Wilkes-Barre Scranton in the playoffs. These two teams are very evenly matched. 4 of 6 went to OT this season and 9 of the last 21 have required OT. WBS took 4 of the 6 wins. Springfield won the latest head-to-head game. Who's playing defense for the T-birds since their entire...

Was nervous there for a while, not going to lie. Fantastic 3rd period in all aspects and we bring home the W. You love to see it.

Leddy has to have a concussion right? I don't know how he doesn't... eff.

Gonna be a tight one I think

Blues 4
Wild 3

Here.
We.
Go.

Blues in 6 boyzzzzz

Oh look. Someone else had shoulder surgery that didn't take. Really f'ed up they had him continue playing, instead of putting him on LTIR before the trade deadline and trying to truthfully address the situation when they had a real chance to address it, instead of pulling an Officer Bar Brady " Not...

WTF is going on?

Man oh man.

Reports as early as, what, Jan/Feb Lehner may need surgery. He later says he needs it, club says he doesn't, he gets embarrassed twice out there... woof. That organization's credibility with players should be going down the tubes if it's not already.
