Let's Go Blues

First time logging in for a while and saw this

Yea, I just scroll at The Athletic for the most part now. I'll try to jump back in here more often

We got em! Yes! Love the gamble during a reload! Love the aggressive, calculated gamble by Army. Cap space wasn't an object, we desperately needed young guys in the system, and Oilers put themselves in a corner looking to compete-win-now and unable to match. One of Army's best moves in recent memor...

Continuing our proud 2022 tradition of "win-loss-win-loss" I predict the Blues will win tonight.

Blues 3
Avs 2

I'm apparently in the minority here but I see a lot of blues fans losing their minds on the offensive struggles.

IDGAF, the defense is a LOT better and that was THE main problem.

If you're giving up 6 goals a game it doesn't much matter what your offense looks like. *shrug*

Indifferent.

Corey Pronman from The Athletic has the Blues as 18th in the NHL pipeline rankings for 2023. He ranks the Blues prospects as follows: 1. Dalibor Dvorsky, C (Tier: Top of the lineup player) 2. Jimmy Snuggerud, RW (Tier: Bubble top and middle of the lineup player) 3. Otto Stenberg, C (Tier: Middle of ...

Really liked the Dvorsky pick. Somewhat concerned some sources I've read said his skating isn't going to be good enough to actually play center and he will ultimately have to be a winger. Hope not. The other two kids at the end of the 1st were fine. Dpending what scouting reviews you're reading, Arm...

Vegas is lucky they were an expansion team during the era of gifting expansion teams the best possible players. I guess I'm happy for Pietrangelo and Barby but overall I'm not happy with the outcome. Really wanted to see Florida win it all, they've been my eastern conference team since their inauge...

Blues went outside the box a bit hiring Mike Weber as an assistant to handle the defense. Seems like a good hire reading about how he's handled players as an assistant in juniors from 2018-20 and the AHL from 2020-2022. A couple of the defenseman he coached mentioned his ability to coach players to...

Loosely cheering for Seattle and Toronto. That fan base has suffered enough.

Wish we coulda got Matthew Tkachuk. I know we couldn't put that kind of a trade package together like Florida did but DANG. So close...

Good to see you Kerfuffle. In the past two seasons, Tarasenko has expressed displeasure at how he had been utilized by team management. O'Reilly was awarded the C instead of him when Pietrangelo left, and he (Tarasenko) was upset with how the team doctors handled his multiple surgeries, and he felt...

This puts an end to my speculation that Vladdy would be headed to the Islanders for a similar package, but it does give me hope that he could fetch a similar package from another team. He'd fit well in New Jersey as well. Isn't Horvat a center? I didn't get the trade at first. Carolina and Vegas in...

If his back is truly the reason Parayko has been playing so bad then Army should be fired for that alone. That back stuff was going on prior to the extension. I think Army even commented on it about the extension that he had essentially no concern about it. How can you be THAT wrong? I wonder if Par...

I'm f****ing tired of Doug Armstrong. Sorry, but I am. He's reason #1 Blues are in this predicament. Since the Cup win: Positives: Buchnevich, extending Thomas and Kyrou look like savvy moves. Acciari, Leivo and Pitlick have turned into good depth signings. Negatives: Everything else? We should've m...

I've been thinking about the Blues as sellers and obviously that's the best move but once again they're hamstrung by all those damn NTC's. If they can work around that problem by convincing any litany of players that it's in their best interest to be traded to contenders then by all means definitel...

I almost hope the Blues lose tonight. Getting sick of it. For every savvy move Army makes (Buch, ROR) he's got a clunker of a decision that more than "makes up for it" and puts the Blues roster in a net negative and it's been happening for years. This is squarely on Army and I hope he tries to fix it.

I didn’t know a whole lot about Gaudet early on but he’s definitely developing like a keeper. It would be amazing if they could trade Krug. Getting rid of him plus O’Reilly and Tarasenko before losing the latter two for nothing would go a long way towards paving a path for the handful of youngsters...

Don't know wth is up with Krug, but the Blues record without him this season is ridiculously good compared to their record with him.

He's been pretty poor this yea. But... a lot of guys on this team have, so...

It's been so long since the last game I forgot it was the regular season!
