Not enough to google search it, but just enough to be like "man why do people think you can't ditch a goalie after he wins you a cup. Chicago did it twice." Last I heard he was playing either in French or Swiss leagues.

At least the Blues put up more of a fight than the Hawks. Take solace in that, Blues fans.

We managed to win more games than the Blackhawks scored goals (in one round), Allen is finally the keeper we hoped he'd be, and the team actually played positive under Yeo (PP aside--now I know why so many Pens fans hated him when he ran their PP). Plus, Bouwmeester will be left unprotected, and I don't have to listen to Pierre McGuire for six months.

Blues lost David Backes, Troy Brouwer (lol), Brian Elliott, and Kevin Shattenkirk, were without Robby Fabbri and still made it to the second round. Next year they should be back that far and probably to the WCF, especially if they can replace Bortuzzo and/or Gunnarsson with one or multiple of Jordan Schmaltz, Jake Walman, and Vince Dunn.

Only thing they need to work on is finding a scoring center, right? Parayko is already a stud and is going to be scary good if he's got another level to him and somehow Pietrangelo is only 27 despite seeming to have been in the league forever so the defense is plenty young.

(however, multiple reports were that if Shatty wasn't hell-bent on going to a team north of Virginia, the Blues could have gotten A Thing for him in exchange.) but real talk: the farm system looks to be producing again and Tage Thompson is being groomed to be a top centerman of the future. basically go for a 1/2C in the FA market, pray Bouw or Perron gets picked up by Vegas, and it's fine. (and I missed your posting in the GDTs, there were times i needed your help.)

The saddest franchise in NHL history managed to put up more of a fight than the NBC Dickride of the Decade. yellowcar is probably not the right target for your anger.

Jordan Kyrou went absolutely nuts in the OHL this year with a terrible team. I haven't heard how he looked in Chicago, but he might be that wildcard prospect who pans out that the Blues desperately need.

Just age? what Mike_V said, with the NHL being all about salary cap flexibility having a $5.4MM bit of dead weight on your books for the next few years is not ideal. (though again like Mike said, Lehtera's a $4.7MM bit of even deader weight)

The Blues losing is such bullshit, first of all we all know that Nashville is the cheapest and dirtiest team in hockey and it was clear that the refs were in on the take, all you have to do is look at how many penalties they gave the Blues arrogantly because they knew Nashville couldn't score except on a Power Play but that was pretty stupid, just compare the cities: St Louis is more than twice the size of Nashville and has lots more hockey fans so how is that a good marketing plan, NHL, and St Louis is also way richer than Nashville so good luck on not having that money watching your playoffs for the rest of the year.

Should the NHL have the Blues and Preds redo their series in case it was a big fix? No disrespect to the preds, I'm a firm believer that Nashville beating them in six is a huge fix and robs the Blues of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last day in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Blues play great hockey it's just not fair. If the Blues lose again I will face that the Preds deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fix and does a big disservice to the Blues and the NHL.

St. Louis is a good team but at some point you've got to score more than 1 goal per game, and Jake Allen can only be in god mode for so long.

If he lets his exit interview last longer than "gently caress all y'all" then he's giving the entire St. Louis Blues Hockey Club and every other employee of it in particular more credit than they deserve. EDIT: And if you think he won't do that because he likes having a job, uh, ^ ^ ^ I'm going to go waaaaay out on a limb and say I think he'll land on his feet. And as a bonus he might not have to live in St. Louis anymore. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 15:53 on May 8, 2017 |
