Let's Go Blues

/wave

I'm sad to see some of the names go, but it is time to rebuild and start a new core group.

I really think they have an identity. They are David Perron. Talented team that doesn't show up consistently, doesn't do the little things well, and fails to work when it really counts. Difficult to coach. Difficult to be a teammate with. Destined to never reach full potential. I haven't watched mor...

This team exceeded my expectations coming into the season. The team has done nothing to get younger, faster, and more skilled so I have no expectations that they will be anything other than a good regular season team and a playoff footnote. I think it would be worth the Blues' time to NOT protect so...

Suggestion for Game 5, no matter what happens the rest of the way: sit Perron in the press box. ++ :plusplus: I was pissed that they signed him. Guy is a turd. Nashville was picked in the preseason to be an excellent team this year. They are doing a great job. I was all for blowing up this team at ...

I'm fine with a rebuild... but they need to actually rebuild. you don't sign Berglund and then call it a rebuild. That's remodeling... not a renovation. I would love to see them jettison some more "veterans" in the offseason to get this thing younger and faster and playing more offense. I still thin...

I'm glad they moved Hitch out. I wasn't convinced he had the correct players to do what he wanted to do, but I am also convinced the team doesn't have the right players in general. Yeo doesn't change much of anything, and I don't think he's a good enough coach to get the team past where they have be...

This is Tarasenko's team, now. There's no question. You can make a case for other guys, but part of the reason Backes walked is that it was time to change the room - and clearly Backes and Tank had some disagreements at times. Now, knowing hitch, some other joker will be captain... thank god ott is ...

Backes couldn't walk away from the deal he was offered. The length of contract and the money was just too much. I don't blame him; it's business. I am glad the Blues declined to go that high with either the term or the money. It's a foolish contract, imo. Good luck to David and his family. I am tota...

26. St. Louis Blues - C Tage Thompson. Massive forward generating first-round buzz because of his 6-5 frame, but we just don’t see it. Poor skater who never uses his size to hit anyone, and in fact can’t get to the battle areas quick enough to make meaningful hits or assert himself as a physical pr...

I was sadly only able to listen to the second and third period on the radio...were the goals bad/Elliot's fault or was this the team in front of him in the first period?

Tough loss. Hopefully the team that dominated the second and third can clean this up and win game 7.

So I see where he's shoved into Elliot, and that's the first contact. Good call no foul there. However, when he extends his arms and hands into Elliot's mask while shoving his pad into the net, that would be a foul. The rule says the player needs to get out of the way and make an effort to avoid add...

And no one thinks there's a bias in play here? Our goal was disallowed and theirs stood.

(Frank) this league.

Fraser would have made the right call... guys with hair like his had to.

someone help me understand wtf just happened there? I was under the impression that you couldn't just shove the goalie into the net and get a goal... much less slap him in the head with your stick before you score.

WTF?

Howdy. It's been a while...completely shit year for me. On Topic: I just don't see how the Blues can make any substantial moves given their cap situation and the fact that any of the guys they might want to move are (a) too valuable or (b) still progressing into productive players or (c) overpaid. I...

Brouwer is just as old as TJ, hasn't scored as much, and doesn't have the raw talent TJ has. He was a 7th round pick who has worked hard to stay in the league. He's a nice upgrade for the 3rd or 4th line, but Oshie is clearly the better player in this deal. Hockey futures rates Copley as a 6.5 D... ...

I said weeks ago it was time to dump hitch, I am still there. He's a fantastic coach, but his voice has gotten stale here and he's gone as far as this group is going to go. It's time for a different voice and a different plan. I also indicated that I would be in favor of moving several of the player...

The talent has been on this roster for two years to win in the playoffs, but the team never seems to figure out how to do it. They have played two fantastic games, an inconsistent game, and a complete turd. Here's to hoping they can figure out how to play like last night going forward. Minny will ad...

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I am going to put it out there just the same. We had lots of talk about freeing up cash to sign tarasenko, and I think the best way to do that is to move on from Backes, Oshie, Steen, and Berglund. Of that group, Bergs' playoff numbers are the onl...

I thought the Blues played well in the first period and very well in the latter half of the third. I thought the second was abysmal, and they ran out of time for a comeback because they wasted that second period. The Wild are playing two men high to crush the points, and that means there should be a...

You don't have to give the Keith treatment, but you should certainly throw bodies on the guy to test his fitness. No one is suggesting a Subban chop or a McSorely here.

Hell, you should be blowing up that guy with crushing body checks every legal chance you get even if he wasn't injured.
