Can't argue the Allen contract, other than to think he would have been far more expensive if he had a good year. That's the gamble they took and it hasn't paid off so far. All we can do now is hope he gets his chit together and becomes serviceable.

I don't fret the Stastny and Steen contracts. They are not going to be killers. My guess is both of those guys will come around and be what they've show then can be. For the last few years, Steen was arguably one of the best 3 or 4 players on this team. Hard to believe he just lost it. My guess is he was/is injured or has some other issue.

Bob Plager certainly doesn't need my endorsement to be sure. But I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding his jersey in the rafters. A Bob Plager night makes sense but retiring his jersey? That is usually reserved for the best of the best players. He wasn't even the best of the average players. Who's next, Larry Patey?




I see dumbness here......lot's of dumbness.

The Blues are done this year.....DONE. And yes, Stastny certainly has, and will, show us what he can be.

Armstrong has to go.......no, I have no idea for a replacement but I'm good with Bobby Plager taking over the job. He couldn't possibly fork it up more than Armstrong has.

For chrissakes.....the only way to defend Armstrong's stupidity is to counter it with some of your own.....nice work.

Oh, did anyone else happen to see that Backes got his coach fired? He has a total of 22 points, a +/- of -12 and is 2nd on the team in PIM's. You can gripe all you want about Armstrong but that move had to be made. Backes was a very good player for us but he is on the down side of his career and the Bruins will wish they had not given him that deal.

Who here is complaining about not matching the Boston offer to sign Backes?

80% of the fans I know had no issue with Army not signing the guy. It was hardly some kind of brilliant decision.

However, since you brought this up out of nowhere, I will say it is my belief that Army DID sign off on both extensions for Allen AND Steen as a result of losing Backes.He signed them for the wrong reasons. While Steen at least had some chits stored up from prior years, he definitely benefited when Backes left. As for Allen, that was just a gift from heaven, plain stupid on Army's part.

That was a great game last night.

Allen settling in for now anyway. The forwards are scoring enough goals to win a game.

Put his goal aside, and it was a doozy, Perron is playing as well as any body on the ice.

They have put themselves in this hole, let's see if they can get out while playing conference and division games.

Now 5-0 on the road after tanking in January......just one more reason to hate these bastards.

I told my daughter tonight that the only way we would use tomorrow night's tickets would be if the Blues won 5 in a row.

GODDAMIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude - I'm not even going to my seats. I'm just going to sit in the club, drink beer, and watch it on the TV....I don't want to kill it.

I can't believe what I'm watching. This team doesn't resemble, IN ANY WAY, the team I have watched this entire season. I actually saw the Blues Captain hit someone tonight....it was CRAZY.

You watch.....just my luck....a Blues team I really don't like at all will win the cup...and somewhere, ole foots will be broke up laughing at me.

The Blues were not sharp tonight, but I guess when it's going good you win some of those games. Vancouver goalie handed us that one. I'll take it I suppose. They're still the most boring team in the NHL and no fun to watch.

I guess Armstrong will have no idea at this point whether the Blues are buyers or sellers.....but Shattenkirk had 3 assists tonight and Berglund is one of the best players on the ice. Get ready.....they're gonna sign that big lump of dog chit again....watch and see.

Longest current win streak in the league......go figure.

I got to see a good portion of that game. Not their best game but a solid effort. The execution was lacking but the effort carried them. Pretty much what we saw the first few moths of the season.

Shattenkirk has to be traded, unless they simply can't get any significant value for him. I doubt that because there are at least 3 or 4 teams that could use him for a playoff run and would have some chance to sign him. He's going to get $5-$7 mil per year for 4 or 5 years from someone. And from what I hear, he wants to be somewhat selective about where he signs his new deal. In a perfect world, he signs an extension as part of the deal and gets traded for some value. That's probably a pipe dream... The best rumor I've heard is to Toronto for James van Riemsdyk. The problem with that is he makes $4.75 mil and only has one year on his deal. But he would be a good fill-in for a missing Fabbri.

Berglund is a piece of chit. Where was this play for the last 5 years? Now that he has a new deal to sign, he decides to play like he should have been playing all along? You're right though, the Blues will look at him and say they can't find any big centers like him and probably re-sign him. At that point all we can do is hope he finds some character and integrity and learns to play at 100% all of the time. I'll still keep my fingers crossed and hope some other team wants to give up a premium prospect or a high draft pick for him...

Next two games are Buffalo and Florida. Both are mediocre teams that can be beat with the same effort and execution we've seen for the last 6 games...

Go Blue!!

Enough players sandbagged Hitch to get him fired, so now they are 100% playing the game they want to play without the hard azz Hitch on their butts. It's amazing to me how in hockey time and time again the animals run the zoo. Remember Murray?

The Blues are winning with a lot of small play that wasn't happening before. And the rookies are a big part of the better play too.

But nothing bigger with this run than decent goal tending. It will take a year of consistent work from Allen to convince me he has what it takes.

I hate to lose Shatt but the word is the R/L Schmaltz and Dunn are ready to come up here and contribute and the Blues prospect pool especially at forward is really low. I say if DA can't get an impact forward for him then bring up the kids and get a #1 pick for Shatt. The upcoming Vegas expansion draft is really messing up a lot of deal chances for this deadline too.

They're all big from here on. Go Blue!

I've said since day one this team lacked character. The fact that they played, arguably, their best hockey of the year after their coach got fired just reinforced that to me.

This team is going nowhere......mark it down.

Give'em a chance Dabs

They haven't read the PD this morning.

When they do-- they will see that the Blues are looking to resign Berglund since they can't trade Shattenkirk for what they want in return.

I expect there will be some commentary re Berglund
