I think the point is, it doesn't matter. I doubt anyone on here would disagree with you about getting a new coach with the current track record on the table. Probably half here would be fine with dropping Army, but who do you get to take over for him? Hull? Chopper? Marty? And I think a good portion of this forum are with the idea of retooling, from either taking a chunk of the team apart to just shipping out Bergy/Ott and/or bringing up Fabs, etc. to play. But Army has stated he wants to stay with the core and doesn't see a problem there...he 'says'.Nyghtewynd wrote:Well I want more out of the Blues coach/GM/owner, and no one seems to give a crap about that, soooooooo...
The honest truth is, what we want and we get are two different things and Stillman, the guy who signs the checks on the front, has spoken. No matter how we feel about it, that's the reality, as things stand now.
As much as I am passionate about the team and angry at how it seems it is being ran into the ground, I think and I say this cautiously, that it's better that this is the reality than the team not being there at all. The only silver lining and like everything else with the Blues, it's a poor consolation, is that this franchise has never won a Cup, so there's no ceiling for them to aspire to beyond making the playoffs. The main benefit of this, from my angle, is that I can wear my Note and not be considered a bandwagoner. It takes guts to wear a sweater like that and I will say that with the amount of proud Hawks fans we got out my way, who wear their gear no matter what, I have yet to have an issue with any of them and get treated with an insane amount of respect because it's hockey and because with as many Cups as they've won, the fans out here went through the drought with the team and understand what it's like and wouldn't hang that on another fan. Out yall way, I don't know about, but out here I have issues with Sharks, Wings and Canucks fans. The Habs out here even welcome it and'll cross the street just to talk to me about hockey.
Yeah, I know, I'm taking a page out of Cprice's Book of Optimism, but in the end, I think that's all we Blues fan have got...that and replacing any furniture that we've destroyed after the team blew the playoffs the previous season
