Let's Go Blues

And if the Blues had traded away Hull, Turgeon, Demitra, Young (1st time around) and others before they walked via free agency, they would have a much better team now, due to the assets that they would have gotten in return. Just to address your past examples of letting UFAs, isn’t a bit unrealis...

Thanks for coming out, though.

No, you did not.

Nice try, though.

Yes I did.

Yes, because you both know for sure that they would have played at this pace for 60 games. Dingâ„¢ Dong. That's the thing though... they wouldn't need to be at this pace all season to be competing. If they were on a pace somewhere between Kitchen and Murray for the first 28 games they'd still be co...

That's being very short-sighted to say the least. Letting their contracts expire and those assets walk for nothing is the worst possible move for every franchise in ANY situation. There is something worse. Over-bidding and giving vets bad contracts that are too expensive and too long. If another te...

That's being very short-sighted to say the least. There are only a few ways of adding assets to your team: 1. Draft 2. signing FAs There is only one way of losing assets from your team: 1. letting contracts expire on your dime. If you're really convinced that this is the proper leadership for this f...

Trade a player or two at the deadline? Absolutely. Have a firesale at the deadline? No friggin' way. So don't commit either way. I call it... going with the flow and not forcing the issue. That would be the cowardly way of going about things. Pick a path and go with it. This good enough to make the...

I'm just saying, if you can get solid value for anything that isn't nailed down at the trade deadline and you don't because of a playoff hope, then I think that's bad business. Bad business is owning a hockey team that doesn't win. I understand what you're saying, but picking up some names at the d...

the Blues need 20 points in 16 games to be within 6 points at the deadline not bad at all. 8-4-4 would do that.. 9-5-2 would be close. 10-6 as well. but Minnesota might not get as hot as everyone thinks. the other Northwest teams might slow each other down as well Counting on teams to falter on a t...

Based on averages, to get to within 6 points of 8th place by the trade deadline, the Blues will have to go 11-5-1 over the next 17.

i'm not reading the last several pages of wankery (which could be trimmed/split), but here's a question back on topic *gasp* that hopefully hasn't already been brought up - a few days ago, it was stated in the paper (i think) by JD (i think) that we'd have to be within 6 points of a playoff spot by...

Just like we all know that you're a (#$@%!)-sucking faggot. How would you know? You sent me pictures of you two 69-ing each other. You have some sick fantasies. :lol: I'm not the one sending out gay oral sex pictures. It's one thing to send them, but I didn't really need an 8x10 glossy, and it cert...

We all think for ourselves, just like I think you are an idiot.

Just like we all know that you're a cock-sucking faggot.

My case is that losing isn't all bad...especially when the best case scenarion for this season really isn't that good. Well, technically speaking, the "best case scenrio" is the Blues continue their hot streak, make the playoffs, continue to be hot in the playoffs, upset some teams and win the cup....

Its all about trade-offs then. You are trading a semi-successful and at least fun season for the CHANCE that the Blues will make a greater pick near the top 5. I am arguing that with a better record and a playoff appearance after this start shows that the team is improving on its own through previo...

I think what he is saying jackass is that we HAVE good young talent already. Meaning, this team is slightly ahead of where YOU think they are. Stempniak, Backes, McClement, E Johnson, TJ Oshie, Wideman, Soderberg, Schwarz and others are the future of this team. The vets we resign or new comers this...

It would have been better for the Cardinals to miss the playoffs. I'm just saying for the long-term benefit of the team, the higher pick was the better option. Winning is the best thing this franchise can do. It is the best thing any franchise can do. To argue anything else is irrational. Yes, a lo...

Don't use that as your cop out. So you won't take the bet? Just as I thought. At what point did I say I wasn't going to take it? I actually said all I wanted was guarantee you'd pay up. Fine then, you're on. Sounds good. I've got $100 that says the Blues will not make the playoffs. You have $100 th...

Hmmmm.....what? You want me to point out all the other years that the opposite was true? You know, Datsyuk was drafted in the 6th round....we should just trade all of our picks for 6th rounders. If you want to live by the exception to the rule, go ahead. I'd rather go with the odds. No shit. Martin...
