The changes....they are a comin.
Don't know how many, how good, how bad, how big, how small....but a guy can can hope.
So here's to hoping DA hangs on to the good things. Thomas and Kyrou to name a few.

I am certainly not awe inspired by this roster:
http://kwese.espn.com/nhl/team/roster/_/name/stl/st-louis-blues
So they have lots of folks to play center, they are weak on the wings after the first line and defense is still suspect. Speaking of suspect .. Hutton is 99% out the door and your #1 is going to be Sybil Jake Allen?
I'm glad you have faith in Armstrong & Allen- I sure as hell don't know why.

Dude, NOBODY can out-Allen me. Get in line please.
And since you have reading comprehension problems, I am no fan of DA, as I said a post ago.
What I said was he greatly improved this team with yesterdays trade, bringing on a 27 year old 60 point center who set a league record for face off wins last year on a terrible team in exchange for Sobi and Berglund, two slugs who slowed this team down last year and two of DA's bad contacts, 7 mil moved to be exact. All the while, keeping his top prospects.
While Allen and Perron remind me of who DA really is, that was a great trade yesterday in anybody's book. Well, I guess almost any body.

Berglund is gone. I am a little happier today than I was Sunday morning... Of course some of that had to do with a hangover but a good portion is due to Berglund being gone... My best guess is he will get injured by the midpoint of the season and then come back, playing as uninspired as ever...
The rest of the parts of that trade cannot be evaluated for 3 or 4 years. Most of the NHL writers and commentators are giving DA high marks for the trade. It seems to me, both teams accomplished what they wanted to accomplish.
The bigger issue for the '18-'19 season is getting a consistent performance out of Allen and the coaching staff getting this team playing a system that gets the most out of the talent they have. That includes 5-on-5 and the power play. If their special teams are the same as last year, they won't make the playoffs again.
3 months and 2 days until the season opener...

I'm good with getting rid of Berglund and Sobotka.....not sure also giving up Thompson and TWO draft choices had to happen....but OK. The 7.5 million cap hit with O'reilly could turnout to be as problematic as other high dollar hits if O'Reilly turns into the next Statsny....but OK.....that's how bad I wanted Berglund gone.
Perron for 4 years??? Jesus......REALLY??? Lemme guess, Armstong is the only person in hockey who doesn't know Perron is basically one big hit away from being gone from hockey with all the concussions he's had.
So Ok, overall I like the team better then I did Saturday....still not sure it can be salvaged or that they should stop now.....there is more dead weight to get rid of.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

This team has plenty of dead weight and in a perfect world they would unload all of it, let the youngsters develop with a few key veterans and hope to be a Cup contender in a few years. That ain't gonna happen. Like EVERY team in the NHL, dead weight is part of the program. No GM/ownership out there has a perfect record. The key is to limit the F-ups and have less dead weight than the other teams. My best assessment is that the Blues had a few more than they could afford last year. Some of it was really unforeseeable and some could have been avoided.
The other reason it ain't gonna happen is because this team needs to make the playoffs and win a round or two. This ownership is going be in financial trouble if they miss the playoffs one or two more years. Unlike the Caps and Pens and Hawks of a few years back, they can't tank for a few years and get primo #1 picks that make the road back and a Cup a real possibility. It is a proven path to success but takes deep pockets and a giant fan base that will tolerate it...
Overall, I still think DA is about as good as they are going to do for a GM. I am not even close to sold on Yeo but he can change my mind if he shows some ability to adjust this season and find an asst. coach that can draw up a power play that can succeed at better than 12%...
Go Blues!!

Perron signing....The last play off series he had with the Blues he was benched for being a knuckle head. So it's like an old twilight zone rerun. DA is the star as he hallucinates grandeur. Apparently, for four years.
Spstman Buffalo is hoping to be where we are now in 3 years time. If they hang on to them, Berglund and Sobi will be floaters to try to get them more competitive and out of the basement, then they are gone.
But they got Thompson, a debatable first round talent, and have 3 firsts next year and they will get our second 2 years out........they will make their run in 4-5 years off the draft.
For us, in 2 years time Thomas and Kyrou are hopefully up being what they should be and there's a lot more in the pipeline as well. Steen and Jbow will be gone. Perron will hopefully get picked up by Seattle. They need to hold onto Schenn and somehow keep their D core together. This will be the best chance for Saint Louis in many moons. Thomas and Kyrou and other AHL'ers will be key.
And then there's one thing left. One big fat Matzo Ball. And I still hope there's another shoe to drop and he goes away before this is all over in a month.
Pending that head case, I'll say the Blues have now a valid shot for 3rd in the Central this year.

He was better for us the 2nd time than the 1st. He'll be even better for us the 3rd time. At least that's what we have to hope for. The key to Perron is realistic expectations. He's going to give you 15-20 mins per game, 15-20 goals, 50-75 points and play on a 2nd or 3rd line. He's 30 years old but still has a little speed left in him. He will slow a bit by the end of this contract but he should be a good, solid player for the next 2-3 years, barring injury...

He's a mess and always has been. He's scored more than 50 pts. exactly TWICE in 11 seasons. His melon is now made of glass and he's NEVER been a team player.
Again.....I guess I'd rather have him then Berglund so there's that.
BUT....a four year deal for him is forking ridiculous.....period.
Typical DA move......in short order this will be another contract they can't dump.

As griff knows, I was a fan his last time around and for the reg season it went pretty good. But the old knuckle head showed up at crunch time.
He shoots from the right, sorely needed, let's see what he can do but until he gets his head right for post season it means little.
I'm sure it took 4 years to get him, I sure as hell hope so, but DA has this penchant for aging players the likes of which I have never seen so no problem there for DP.

Not saying it is a great signing but he is a known entity and a huge step up from Berglund and/or Sobotka. As much as I think the Blues have some good up-and-coming talent, they have a few too many question marks with some of them and a few guys like Fabbri (I hope he can play effectively this year but I wouldn't count on anything from him. There is a good chance he is done).
One thing is certain, they have changed the chemistry on this team. Not sure if it will be enough to make a difference but there are changes. We'll just have to see.

I'm not on board with this guys projection for next year but I do see it coming soon for this team IF IF IF Thomas and Kyrou are the real deal and we get a GD goalie. I saw Kyrou skate last week at the ice center, kid looked really good with the puck and his skating.
Fabbri is pure gravy, hope we get some.
Sobi was nothing but one huge drag on this team last year. Ridding him of this team alone will do wonders.

Without question the Blouse have added more grit with O'Reilly and Bozak vs. Berglund and Sobotka.....so I'm, overall, good with these moves. Hell, as much as I dislike Perron (and REALLY can't understand a 4 year deal for him) I'll take him over Berglund.... so there's that.
They CAN'T be done though......this is not enough to warrant any idea that they are now a cup contender. Closer, ok....but not there yet. AND THEY CAN GET THERE. (watching DA the last few years, he's now done and ready to stand pat on good reviews from these moves....NO!!!!)
You cannot be a "cup contender" with goalie issues.....and they have BIG goalie issues......you guys know this.

Correcto.
I'm sure he is trying to move Allen, but who would want him? Blues could not do all of this and keep Hutton too so they are stuck with Allen unless he can dump him in on some deal yet to come.
I don't see a 4-6 million dollar goalie coming this year either way they go. As I see it, their REAL plan is to give Husso more time to be their #1. All the while of course giving Allen more and more shots to finally get it right and earn his pay.
Goalie position a mess, as usual. This one is Army's doing with that contract last year. Huge fly in the ointment.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

I'll throw a little gas on the Allen fire...
While I am not sold on this, I can see some logic to it. There are plenty of knowledgeable people in the hockey world that think goaltenders are an odd lot and most go through peaks and valleys. I listened to a pretty well respected NHL analyst documenting the rise and fall of multiple well-know netminders. In fact, he believes that nearly all of them will go through at least 2 or 3 stretches where you wonder how they ever even made it to the NHL. Guys like Miller, Quick, Crawford, etc. Even as recently as a few months ago, we saw Renni fall on his face, in the playoffs. Who wouldn't take him on their team? He documented bad stretches for Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur. In short, it is a rare goalie that doesn't have ups and downs.
Now, this does not mean Allen will be solid. But we know he can play as good as anyone in the league. We've seen it. What we don't know is if he has exorcised his demons, or as I like to call them, his head-worms. At this point, we have no choice but to hope for the best. I suppose the good news is that Husso should be ready soon. If he can play, we'll have the most expensive back-up in the NHL...
As for the rest of the team, I'm still concerned about toughness and grit. I just don't see any guys on this team that the opponents look at and say, "Chit, we have to play that arsehole tonight..." or "This one is going to be a tough one boyz, we're playing the Blues..."
Off topic: If you get a chance to watch the documentary on the NHL network that chronicles the 1996 World Cup, watch it!! Lots of great interviews with legends on and off the ice.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

Multiple issues and problems with this theory, or hope, of Allen coming around to be just basic dependable. And believe me, I have been there and done that with him too.
One he has a history, mainly each and every year he has played, where the crap caves in on him out of the blue and no time I can recall where he turns it around in a couple of games or even weeks. He goes into the spin and spins and spins and spins. His bad mechanics can be spotted a mile away, leaving him flopping around like a fish out of water. Goals are scored from every where and there's no strength to any part of his game when he gets into this funk. Near post, far post, 5 hole or can't get back from god knows where ever he is. And those softies. Oh my.
Secondly and to me more importantly, because we are talking about fixing the above, the guy doesn't own up. 90% of the time at post game, he has reasons for everything, and half of that time it's about other players or how good the other team is. So I don't know how a guy gets better or turns things around more quickly when he can't admit he has issues keeping the basic fundamentals to be a #15 type goalie but rather instead continues to dwell on his periods of great play. This is a real live character issue.
Lastly, even when playing well enough, he pretty much will break down in the play offs, usually even within just one series, but he has never sustained good decent play in any post season I can recall.
A team needs a goalie to steal some games. And carry some off nights and just be dependable. You need a goalie team mates want to win for. A guy who comes through in the clutch when play offs come around.
I dunno. Is he 1 for 5 there? 2 for 5?? I see three strikes either way.
Johnson is supposedly a good potential back up. Bad last year, great the year before, so who knows.
Husso has said he'd prefer to stay down and play rather than ride pine and watch. I like that thinking. He seems to know what he needs. This kid looks like he's 12 years old but he is coming off some great stuff last year. Yeo and DA should maybe grant that request and when he comes up, as he will, let him have the reins because I'd rather give him the reps and watch that than Allen flopping around for another month missing the points this teams going to need to be competitive.

The problem with fans (and I am guilty of this sometimes as well) is once they get a hard-on for a player, coach or GM it is almost impossible to convince them of anything other than what they already believe. A guy like DA could put together a Cup caliber team and many in STL will have a dozen reasons how he got lucky or it wasn't his doing.
I'm not saying DA is the best GM in the NHL. I am saying that most NHL analysts and "experts" consider him to be top tier. You don't get to be on the management team for Canada World Cup and Olympic teams, if you're a schmo.
And most importantly, who are you going to get to replace him? Is there a young assistant GM out there that is the second-coming of Sam Pollock? Or should they go out and get one of the NHL GM retreads that haven't won anything either?
I'm far more concerned with Yeo right now than Armstrong...

I get it, but one thing I like about this trade is how much DP wants to play here. I'm a homer, proud of it, and now I want to see Perron get a good return for his apparent unending love for the St Louis Blues.

After watching the futile PP for all of last season, or certainly the later 2/3's, I share your concern for Yeo. And how he handled Allen, still hoping that was more DA than himself. But I'll give him this year. 3rd in the division should be achievable if Allen is worth a plug nickel.
Regarding DA, he is a part of the nhl good 'ol boys club and
I would not look for very much outward criticism of him from the choir. He has produced play off teams, but little else. His strength is clearly in making good trades. His weakness is another matter, re-signing players he should not, for too much and too long.
He's a mixed bag so it all comes down to results and so far, for a city without a Cup in 51 years, he falls short.
If he wins a Cup, he will be what he deserves to be, a great GM and I'll be the first to say it.

NHL network guy calling us heavy and feisty and that was before this signing. I know in the scheme of things Blues are not a fast team, but they are going to be a lot faster than last year and a guy like Maroon will compliment the heavy part that imo was overstated by the talking head.
The only questions left are Allen and how good Thomas really is and will Kyrou make the team.

I have followed Maroon quite a bit because he's an Oakville kid and I saw him in high school....he's no fun to play against....heavy on his skates and not afraid in the corners. This is a good addition for that team. Hell, I may have to quit calling them the Blouse for now. Put him and Schenn on different lines (of course) and the opposing coach has his hands full on matchups....there is no joy there for the opposition. I can give DA a solid B on this one.

Unless King Jake the Inconsistent gets injured we ARE going to be dealing with the Goof all season. And for that reason all the other moves made in the off season won't mean a dayum thing. It appears Blues management is married to the Goof,

Roster is set. Thomas and Kyrou make the team.
There are SEVEN players starting on the front 12 who were not on the roster last season. The D is banged up too.
I suspect it might take 7-10 games to work a lot of things out before we know what we got.
Can't get a tougher opponent for the opener. Forkin Allen better have his head on right.

Per the ESPN Goalie rankings ""Siri, what is Jake Allen?" [Beep] ... [Robot Voice]: "Jake Allen is a 6-foot-2 goalie for the St. Louis Blues whose horror show 2017-18 season has created palpable doubt that he can ever actualize as an elite NHL starter, what with the .482 quality starts percentage and the minus-10.34 overall goals saved above replacement. Journeyman Chad Johnson will serve as his backup after the safety net of Carter Hutton signed with Buffalo."
I hope the writer, and me, are wrong about the Note's goalie situation but I'm afraid we are not.. I don't think there is another starting goalie in the NHL more prone to standing on his head on a play and minutes later letting in a totally weak goal. King Inconsistent I!

NONE! He's an airhead idiot.....at any given time this guy will implode and need to rediscover himself. When he finds himself, he finds out he is an airhead idiot that will implode at any given time and need to rediscover himself.
This is a lesson in goalie dumbness that the Blues have perfected.

JA follows up a stellar .80 save percentage in the opener with one of .83. GAA is a sterling 5.00.
Doug Amstrong is a genius! He completely ignored the most obvious need on this team.. I guess when you have a big guaranteed contract that is more important than winning. Yes the D has sucked but your goalie has to come through better than this for you to have a chance to compete.

His big mistake was extending him last summer with a year left on his old contract. Like that was smart.

My god, just when you think the Blues are making a slow turn north they find a new dagger in the drawer. With 9 seconds on the clock.
Allen playing out of position hockey, as usual. The team playing about 40 minutes again and even when on with little chemistry between them and they still can't finish to score on so many chances.
No pass for the players but Yeo has them tight as a drum with whatever system he has going. This team needs Moses to come back and free them.

He was scratched the Toronto game, a very good defensive game, so of course they bring him back and do they put him on 3rd paring for 7-8 minutes?
No, they play him for 20 minutes, enough time to be on the ice for 4 of their goals.
This is incredibly stupid to think he is worth more to them playing than sitting or at very least the less the better.
I don't like jumping coaches, but Yeo's use of him literally stinks.
Both Parayko and Petro need to get their act together. This is a soft D aside from 2 other guys and since these two won't wack anybody they better figure out how to help this team win with their skills because it happening right now.

I had Parayko anointed as the next Chris Pronger. This is why I don't gamble... I have only watched about 1/2 the games and I have seen him cough up pucks for game winning or game tying goals three times already this season. WTF is wrong with that dude. He might be one of the most talented / skilled young defensemen in the NHL. Maybe he and Jake Allen drink or smoke from the same supply. Holy chit is that guy regressing.
On the bright side O'Reilly has been everything you could ask for and more. I'm not sure I've ever seen a better faceoff man. And he has a nose for the net...
This team needs to find a soul and fast. The talent is there. The grit and fundamental play is not.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

ummm Parayko started his regression after his great rookie year and since down hill. So this year he's had like 3 games with fire and the rest he's been an oversized puppy, with 2 game losing brain farts so far this year. Inexcusable, lazy, stupid mistakes they were and both at the worst time and the best location for the opposing team.
It WAS a good effort yesterday. 50 minutes good and for most of the players 60 minutes good. And for that ref to make that call with 3 to go was typical garage league BS.
They are in a hole of Armstrongs making,need to ditch Allen for good and trade for a #3 D man, they have the forwards to do the latter.

I can get on board with that.....as long as the captaincy is stripped from Pietrangelo and given to either Schenn or O'Reilly. Also take the A from Steen (for chrissakes) and give it to the one who does't get the C. Pietrangelo and Steen have led the team nowhere......they are not leaders.
I also agree with sptsman that they need to find a soul and some grit. The current C has neither.

Petro never was Captain material and now he's playing the worst hockey of his career.
Steen remains the center of the rumor of a rift on the team, about not being Captain. Who knows.
In 15 games as a Blue, O'Reilly is clearly the best choice for Captain, but he needs to be able to jump on some guys, starting with those two.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

Welp, that was about 3 or 4 games past due. Waaaay too much talent on this team to be this bad. This may not be a Cup team but it is sure isn't a below .500 roster either. More frightening is the regression of key players like Pietrangelo, Parayko, Schwartz, even Tarasenko...
Any chance they can land coach Q? I'm not sure the pockets are deep enough here in STL. And does he want to? My guess is he would. There is enough talent here to make the playoffs and if they could stay healthy, maybe even make a run. I have little doubt he could and would make a difference...
I hope like heck they get rid of the new D coach as well. This defense is the worst I've seen in years. And they have the talent to be pretty good defensively.
I would say going .500 over the next 4 games would be a major step in the right direction. After that, they'll need to step it up and play .600 to .700 hockey...

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

So, after only catching bits and pieces of games and missing some altogether, over the past 3-4 weeks, due to work travel and chaos at home (had wife's family over for Thanksgiving and she decided it was time for a whole house makeover = 3-4 weeks of hell), I got to watch 2/3 of the Wed night and most of last night's game. I just have one question for about 80% of the Blues players: What the fork is so hard to understand that you are in the NHL and as such have to play at 100% effort and with an edge every stride of every shift of every period of every game? You see the results as clearly as the nose on your face. Why does a coach have to get fired and you have to drop below .500 to bring that out in you?
If the Blues played every game with the execution, speed, fire and grit they played with last night, they would be in a race for the top of the standings. Why is it so hard for this group to get their collective chit together? My current theory is that Pietro is too soft to be a "C" and there are too many veterans that are not owning this and getting in the faces of the players that need to step it up (in part because some of them need to step it up themselves).
Last night was impressive. If and that is a huge "if", the Blues can play like that for the next few months, they will be right back in the hunt. "I'll believe it when I see it... The talent is there.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

I did not expect a great start with them. I think like 10 new guys are of their 22. But it goes well beyond that and worse yet it's basically not the new guys.
There are 2 players who remain flat out problems, Allen and Jblow.
There are numerous KEY players struggling and under performing BADLY:
Petro
Tarasenko
Schenn (now coming around)
Parayko (better lately)
That's 50% of your blue line and like 30% of key team guys not doing it with most of them being inexplicably so.
Last night means nothing unless these VETERAN guys want to come out of their comas and set their petty problems aside and wake the fork up and play hard AND SMART to win.
Step two begins tonite at 6:00.
Ohhhhh to be a Blues fan. bwaaaaaaaaa

Time to start dumping dead weight and looking to land that #1 pick in 2019. Unless things change drastically, this team has already played their way out of a playoff position. And if you're not going to make the playoffs, you might as well develop young players and finish dead last. It has worked for nearly every Cup winner in the past 10-15 years.
It has become painful to watch this defense cough up pucks that end up in the back of their own net, game after game! Parayko had the first one last night on Detroit's first goal and Pietrangelo had the next, on their 2nd goal. Steen tried his best to gift wrap one for Larkin but Larkin hit the pipe... How do players with this much talent get this bad collectively?

Wednesday night first 30 minutes was the worst hockey of the year. Maybe decade. Complete dumpster fire.
In all my years as a Blues fan, I've never seen so many players under perform at the same time in the same season.

BTW, if you think anyone is going to take Steen without the Blues eating some of his contract, you're in a fantasy land of some sort. People around the NHL are watching this dumpster fire, just like us. In fact, one of the difficult things about this situation is the payroll. With one of the highest in the NHL, there is no wiggle room. Unloading an overpriced veteran for underpriced talent just doesn't happen very often, in all of pro sports. This has to be fixed from within for the most part.
Another performance like the Detroit game and the Av's will beat them 13-0. We'll see what Blues team shows up tonight.

Heard the exact same logic to justify keeping Allen.
When all the while it is far more damaging to keep him.
Petro has some value still so he can be moved easily. Steen's play is going down and has been rumored to be involved in team locker room issues for years now. I've had enough. If true, he has to go no matter the cost.
This is all Army's doing. Steen and Allen contracts like an anchor around their neck.

Blues ownership should just start all over or sell to someone who wants to put a winning team on the Ice.

They are spending to the cap, they want the winner, they just have the wrong guys running the ship. That might include Stillman as representative partner.
Yeo contract

I see the Flyers just fired their coach and it appears the players under-performing is the main reason. Hmmmm, starting to wonder if this generation of players is like so many of this generation? I would think pro hockey players would rise above that but if what I'm seeing across society with the 20-30 year-old's is any indication of what NHL coaches are having to deal with, I get it... Could we have a few snowflakes in the NHL? You wouldn't think so but I guess anything is possible...

He is indeed, and he often mentions hunting with you all....and he remembers that post-hunt party particularly, and always laughs at our shenanigans that day as well.
He grew to be 6'5" and now runs a mile in 4:09 and just did a half marathon in 1:14.....at practice. Hard to say what the future has in store for him. He'll finish out his college athletic eligibility and get his degree in construction management, but he has lately been working out with a group of Navy Seals in the area, a few times per month, after he secretly made a trip to the recruiter and destroyed their pre-test. He'll also have a chance to continue his triathlon career since he still holds a pro card.
My bet is he signs a SEAL contract after college and we'll see if he can get through the training. Physically, he's fine......I guess we'll see what kind of mental damage we did to him.

OK LS dude..I'll tellum
-'s & +'s as I see it.....
The 1 HUGE - is the hole the Blues have dug for themselves.
Thats bout it........
The +'s.....
Jake A.........of course Jake can also fall to the - on occasion ( just human nature )
Team play of late....many players contribute to this stat...
Moral seems good on ice lately....I suppose winning breeds this attitude....
I'm likin Nolans play too
Lots of home games coming up........none bigger than Pitt. on New Years Eve.
Got a few games in hand on most all other teams.that in itself will add a few points to bottom line.
yada yada yada.
Bottom line ? Can the Note somehow make the wild card?
Probably knot
But, if the play of late continues ( most of the time ) I'd say the Note has bout 25% chance of a wild card birth.
Keep it up Blues!!! ( most of the time might do it )

Watched football last night so missed the game but it looks like they must have played decent to beat a good Sabres team.
I see the Blouse is 6-3-1 in their last 10.....stacks up around 10th in the league over that time.
I suppose they COULD make a wild card spot, but as Eddie says, it's a big hole to dig out of. They will need a streak of maybe 7 or 8 wins to get back in contention.....I haven't seen this team be capable of that.....they are either good or terrible every time out....not a good formula for an extended win streak.
I give them a 15% chance.

Games like last night are why I have lost all respect for this bunch. To know that they have the skill and talent to play like that and watch them flounder 2/3 of the time, is maddening. While the Caps were not on their A game, they are still the Caps and still the defending Cup champs. The Blues played with pace and generally took it to the Caps, rather than play on their heels. A much needed fight was had and there was an edge to them. All without Tarasenko. Makes one at least ponder things a bit doesn't it?

Tarasenkos part in this is strange indeed. Not getting the goals and assists yet it is his best 200 foot game he has put forth.Very weird. I have to think his shoulder is still bad, that wrister has had nothing on it all year. But even his passing in the offensive zone has been bad. Weird, just like the season.

I hate to jinx him.....but Binnington looks like he has the team believing. It's pretty obvious that he has very quick legs and great positioning, but he struggles with the high shot.....time will tell when the league figures that out. Still, anybody but Allen and I can have some hope.....he's done. Hopefully the organization realizes that. Next should be Steen and Petreangelo.....get them out.
The Blouse is actually not positioned horribly right now with at least 2 games in hand on most of the league....and as many as 4....they have played the fewest games in the league to this point.
I think they have raised their odds of getting into a wild card spot in the last couple of weeks, but this is a pretty rough road swing with 8 of the next 9 out of town. But, they are the hottest "bottom half" team in the league right now so they are on the move.....for now.
If they can get through that and be a couple of games over .500 then I'd give them a chance.....but they'll need a team or two to tank in order to really have a shot (not out of the question....Colorado and Anaheim are basically winless in their last 10.....leaving the door open).....and that's only if they can keep playing like they are in front of the kid. They haven't shown the ability to sustain anything.

Man what a year it's been.
Griff you're missing (bwaaaa) a heck of a year by our 'lil buddy DP. That dude, for all the trouble, has been worth it.
3 in a row. It's January 14 and they finally won 3 in a row.
3/4's of the guys are on board. Allen, god willing, is soon the #2.
They seem to be playing for each other. Finally.
I don't trust them yet. The Allen thing has to be dealt with once and for all and Binnington has to be the real deal.
Gimme that and let's get on with it.
Love hockey, love the Blues. Go Blue!

I've only caught games here and there. Even then it is rarely the whole game. But... I must say DP is one of the best performing players I've seen. Had he played this way when he came into the league, he would have been one of the all-time Blues favorites...
As for the rest of this bunch, I have to wonder WTF the 2nd half of the season will bring. Anyone's guess...

A pretty good effort for the double header. And Binnington played well again, any point for these guys is a big point.
Dunn screwed up but Berube's call there should be questioned as well imo.

If there is such a thing as a good loss, this was it. I didn't see all of the 1st period but most and all of the 2nd & 3rd. As usual the officiating was horrendous. Those arse clowns just couldn't stand to let them play. Two phantom/joke calls against the Blues and at least one against NY. What will it take to get these forkin' retarded zebras to call regular season games like they call the playoff games? Stop with the forkin' ticky-tac calls, just so you can turn your microphone on and hear yourself announce a penalty. Man these arse-clowns are a joke!! They absolutely ruin the flow of a really good game... The NHL will remain a garage league until they clean up this part of the game (and learn to market their star players better).
The Blues were coming off a game the night before and had 2 road wins under their belt. You could see a letdown in the making but they didn't. The only regulation NY goal they allowed was questionable at best and the hustle, hitting and solid team play was impressive. Perron was as solid as I have seen him. Having Steen and Bozak out of the line-up makes them faster. That was obvious last night. It earned them a point.
Something is very different about this team over the past week or two. I hope like heck it sticks and they make the playoffs. Otherwise, I hope they tank and get Hughes. Finishing out of the playoffs and not getting a top three pick would be a disaster...

Notes from the game:
Ottawa is not a good team. They are small and not fast. It looked like a high school team playing a pro team.....but they played the Blouse tough because the Blouse still has a complete lack of effort and character. They were lucky to escape tonight.
I'd rather see this team tank and get a high draft pick......they aren't going to win chit with this roster.
Steen and Petro need to sit.....how the hell he still has the C is beyond me. Play the kids.....move on with rebuilding this team.
At this point, get rid of Steen, Petro, Schwartz (WTF has happened to this guy???), and Slowmeester. Make Bennington the #1 (is 4-0-1 with a 1.7 GAA not good enough for this organization that can NEVER figure out the goalie situation?).....Let Allen ride the bench.
On another note.....not sure what I think about the changes to the building. Gone is the Blue and Yellow theme that marks a building where the Blouse plays. It's pretty damn sterile in gray and white. However, the new jumbo-tron is awesome and the lighting on the ice is probably the best I've ever seen.

No that place is no barn. If you went to the barn, there is no comparison.The music mostly sucks, the constant noise making from all sorts is annoying. I do like the ice girls.
For now just waitng for DA to fork up most every decision in front of him. The Allen thing is beyond ridiculous. More upset about that than anything. Plays Steen top 6. You know he re-signs Petro. Kyrou makes a mistake and gets 7 mins of ice while the vets skate forgiven all night long.
I'm disappointed in Berube with a lot of this too.
But it's Blues hockey and I'll be there until the fat lady sings. It would help a lot if Schenn and Schwartz would get their frigging act together.

While Bernie M has his douche moments, I had to laugh at this
Quote:
TRENDING DOWN: Blues forward Jaden Schwartz, who has only 3 goals in 33 games this season. But as always, Schwartz gets a free pass from most of the STL media and too many fans. Put it this way: if the eternal scapegoat Vladimir Tarasenko only had three goals at this point of the season, fans and media would file charges and seek prosecution. The hypocrisy is amusing. Here’s a stat from the always informative STL Blues History account on Twitter: “Since 1987-88 there have been 137 St Louis Blues forwards with 80 or more shots in the Blues 1st 45 games of a season … 136 of them had 4 Goals or more in the 1st 45 games; Schwartz is only player to have less than 4 Goals.”
(Bernie comment: Must be Tarasenko’s fault, of course. For instance, I blame Tarasenko for all of the problems associated with the Delmar Loop Trolley.)

I'd go with McDavid from what I have seen.
Lots of great young talent out there, you could put top 5 in a group and draw straws but that kid is something.
I know Hughs is the consensus pick but two things...a pick is just that...remember Eric Johnson? bwaaaa and secondly the kid is listed at 5-10 168 and that means he might go 160. Christ I got 5 pounds on him.
He's got major strength challenge and he's going to take a pounding bank on it!

Your having a senior moment and forgetting the 2005 - 2008 years. While there was a reason for it, they were still some very bad teams (post-Pronger)...
As far as who you would build around, I would pick the best young, proven, tough defenseman I could find. Teams win with Pronger's, Stevens, Lidstrom, Robinson, Keith, Blake, Langway, Coffey, Potvin, Orr, etc... It all starts there...

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

The other issue is picking the next superstar defenseman out of a draft is a daunting proposition. The best of them will take at least 2-3 years and usually 3-5 years to develop into the force they need to be. Colton Parayko has all the skills and tools, like Pronger but he needs to be coached well and play next to someone with a lot more grit than Petro. Rest assured, if he were traded to the right team, he would be a Norris candidate many, many times and possibly win a few. I'll leave the picking of those guys to the folks that scout them for a living. The only two I even know about are Bowen Byram and the German kid, Moritz Seider. Both of those kids look like the real deal. I'm sure someone will win the Norris Trophy 6 or 8 years from now that was drafter in 2019 and we don't even know his name...
My only concern with Hughes is size. Even if they put some weight on him, he's still going to be smallish. We see how that works for guys like Fabbri. I would rather have a guy with a little more size. And it appears this year's draft has some pretty good forwards with Hughes-like skill but more size. All the skill in the world doesn't help much when you're on IR.
I just see the Blues really forking this whole thing up. I would bet a milkshake they miss the playoffs by only a few points and end up out of the top 5 draft picks...
Regarding the Schwartz funk, I have heard for the last few years that he and Berglund were close, very, very close. When you look at what happened with Berglund and then see Schwartz's funk, it sort of adds up. Trading him away in the off-season may have rocked both of their worlds more than either could handle. Who knows. It's all rumor and speculation. Apparently, the sports media types won't touch it with a 10' pole for obvious reasons. Who wants to be the writer or talk show host that throws that out there for people to chew on?

A funny thing is 90 points might well get a team to the play offs this year. 18-12-5 could do that for Saint Louis.
While the rumor right now is that DA is not selling at deadline, (is that his neck on the line?) even funnier thing is that it seems Schwartz, Schenn, and Petro would be among leading trade chips if he did AND imo these 3 plus JA are the most disappointing players of the season.
I like Schwartz... effort remains strong main issue is totally snake bit. Petro and Schenn seem to be mailing it in.
I never support tanking. This franchise would fork that up any way. I agree you play the younger guys and see what you have and provide the experience for them but play to win every night. More playing time for Sunny, Thomas, Blais, Sanford, Kyrou etc is not tanking. It's smart and it might get a reaction.

Not a bad effort after a ten day break. Not bad at all.
They finished their plays, the effort was there for most all players.
Petro played horrible. This guy has dropped off the cliff I just don't get it.
Binnington wins again. He is solid with his mechanics, stays cool and steady under pressure. That's 4 starts in a row with 3 wins. Has Berube finally made the switch?
The team moved up a notch. A long way to go thanks to the hole they put themselves into. February is as brutal as it gets, tons of games and strong opponents.

Tonight will tell a lot. And they don't even have to win. They just need to compete for 60 mins. A win or OTL/tie would be impressive. These are the games that have defined the Blues this year and not in a good way. They have taken any momentum they managed to create and destroy it with a lackluster performance after a good win or two. For them to have any chance of getting in the playoffs they need to be playing at a .700 winning percentage from here on out and they simply can't lay any eggs along the way. Losses are going to happen, especially when you are playing teams like TB (best in the NHL right now). Who, by the way are 20-5-1 on home ice. Yikes!!
I've given up on the tanking and getting a top 5 pick. The only hope is to make the playoffs and pray they can win a round there...

Fork tanking. This is not a roster to tank on.
And you need to look at the standings. Highly possible 90 points can get a team in, they do not "need" .700 win percentage. But Blues current pace gets them in by plenty, they are 7-2-1 in last ten.
For me, sure, play offs. But far more than that is to advance this team and find out who the real pieces are and what they need to get better.
Trade dead line will be very interesting if they can keep this pace up.
Good luck in Tampa Blues. And you too Binny. Ya'll are playing the best in the game.

If you like old time hockey, that was a pretty good game. Most impressive by the Blues was the tight checking, disciplined, defense first approach. They did very good job of puck control and working as one unit. They withstood a few pretty good pressures by TB and kept their cool. Only criticism for me was the lack of mucking in front of the net. When a netminder is stopping everything you throw at him, it's time to create havoc in front of him and get a dirty goal or two.
Unfortunately, Allen is going to have to play one of the games this weekend. May they'll trade him by then...

The one game he lost he still played pretty solid. He will not keep this pace up but I just hope the Blues now give him the same deference they gave Allen for the last 3 years.
He's very calm, cool and solid fundamentals. Love how he comes out to challenge. I think I've seen him flop around once or twice, Allens average per period. He also isn't looking to blame things on circumstances or "team play". They say he's weak up high because he likes to play the ice. Haven't seen that as a problem yet. I'm sure players have been trying to adjust for the last number of games.
He's a seasoned rookie, been around the minors for some time. We'll see how far he can go, I hope they give him and this team at least that.
Blues could really use a split this weekend. I am sure it will be Binny at home Saturday and Allen in Nashville on Sunday.

For sure Binny. For Tarasenko and Jbo, injuries are finally healing. Berube has the team playing a zone type D and the gaps are being covered.He's not a whiz type coach but he has straightened out some big problems. Some kids have now got their feet wet. Everybody playing for each other. Lots of reasons.
Easy to be cautious but this is a very good roster with decent goal tending. To me, they are playing like I was expecting, picking them 3rd in division. If Binny is real, if Petro and even Eddie can play up to their normal and if Schwartz can start to light the lamp things should get very interesting.
Of course, Army could fork everything up in the coming 2 weeks. bwaaaaaaaaaa
Good luck in Nashville boys....gonna need a gem down there.

I guess you guys don't remember the run they had last year about this time......right before their character issues caught up with them and they sulked and pouted all the way to nowhere.
When the going gets tough.....and it's about to....this team has folded every time.
It'd be nice if they don't, and I'm not rooting against them....but I don't think they have the horses to sustain anything meaningful.

Never seen a team whine like the preds. Whine, dive and after whistle bullsheeeet.Bunch of punks. They just got tough picking up Boyle and McCleod hope it blows up in their face. forking hate this team.
0-0 after 1, I'll take it.
A few big differences with this team than the last. One is goal tending and yes, it has to hold up.
Two is O'Reilly and he has yet to play a bad game all year. The guy makes everybody better and the Blues finally have themselves a leader on the ice.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

So, I watched the 1st period at LOZ, then determined the roads were good enough to go home. I picked up the game on XM and had to listen to the Nashville broadcast. They were pretty even handed with their analysis and even complimentary of the Blues quite a bit. But the quality of the play-by-play was embarrassingly bad. The guy sounded plenty seasoned (old) but he was far from smooth. I made no commentary about it and after about 5-10 mins my wife asked, "Is it just me or is this guy not very good?" And unlike me, she listens to hockey on the radio very seldom. It got me to thinking how spoiled we are and have been with broadcasters in all sports but particularly hockey. For me it started with Dan Kelly/Gus Kyle, then those few dark years until they got Ken Wilson, now Chris Kerber. I try not to think about the evenings my ears bled listening to Ron Jacober trying to do Blues play-by-play. Mike Claiborne gave it a go a few times as well and wow, was it bad. But I like both of those guys for color, commentary and sports talk shows, so I won't rip them too hard. They both seem like really good dudes.
Once I got past Mineola Hill, I tuned into KMOX and heard the sweet sound of Chris Kerber's flowing call of the game and seamless commentary as the game progressed. To hear the Tarasenko OT goal reminded me of the days laying on the floor, as a kid, listening to Dan Kelly's voice crescendo as the play developed into "He shoots he scooooorrrrressss!!!!"
As far as TV, John Kelly and Panger do a great job as well. While John looks like his old man and even sounds like him a bit, he's just not quite as smooth. Still damn good but I actually think Chris Kerber is closer to Dan Kelly's style than John Kelly. Especially on the goal calls.
So, don't ever take for granted what we have here with regards to quality broadcasters for our sports teams. We have some of the best. Trust me, I listen to plenty as I travel around the country for my work. Most are not nearly as good as what we have.
As far as the Blues, this is some sort of inexplicable metamorphosis that will confound anyone trying to analyze it. I guess we just hope for it to continue and get them into the playoffs.

Good win last night. I would say this is the Blues team we were expecting all year but that would not be accurate. This is better than what we expected. It seems as though Chief Berube has these boys firing on all cylinders. I'm most impressed with the puck possession and willingness to get more physical. The last few games I've watched, the forecheck has been tenacious and the scoring opportunities off the forecheck have increased. Also nice to see the offensive work getting closer to the net. Blasting shots from the point is a low percentage move unless it is just to get the puck in tight and muck it up for a goal.
Let's see how this plays out but the playoffs look like a sure thing barring a few key injuries or another meltdown. And I can see them making it past the first round, if they keep playing like this...
I suspect the next loss will come when they have to put Allen back between the pipes...

From Mid January to mid March the blues have ZERO back to back home games. Every home game in that span is a 1 game stand.
So not only is the schedule jammed with games the travel is absurdly bad. Only nhl would pull this off.

Actually, this team has more horses than most. Their depth is one of their biggest advantages. Their 4 lines collectively are at upper top of league.
You doubled down, or I guess more apt to say you quadrupled down. Got it.

So here is my deal.
It's been REALLY hard not to be a Blues fan.....I've been one since '67. I hated giving up my seats. But I don't like this team. I hate Steen, I don't like Petro as Captain, I KNOW Tarasenko will disappear under playoff pressure.....blah,blah,blah....we've been through it.
BUT.....I like this kid playing goal. Ive seen his interviews and I'm a fan....just a humble kid trying to make it. How can you not be? It's a great story....he's picked this team up.....there can be no doubt about it.
So I'm guardedly hopeful......even with the turds they are carrying....because it would be one of the greatest stories of this franchise if they ride deep on Binnington's shoulders.
So I'm watching, and I'm cheering for this team....warts and all.
BUT GOD DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

Do you ever read any of the other team boards? There's not a team in the league without fan "turds". As for Steen, Berube has him down to 15 min now at least he's trying.
Binny is the catalyst, O'Reilly the leader. Young role players doing their job. Berube fixing the locker room. None of above were on the team last year. Tarasenko may only score 30 this year but to me he's having his best season ever. Think about Schwartz and Schenn really heating up.
Blues will come up against it, opposing teams now putting their 'A' game effort against them already. They cannot sustain this play, Binny and team will surely falter, and the BIG question is how they respond.
As you say, let's wait and see. If Binny is a true #1, this team is a year away from true contention.

I watched all weekend and I don't even know what I'm watching....who are these guys??
I know this......the O'Reilly, Schenn, Tarasenko line is a force. MAYBE those two will be what is needed to get Tarasenko some room when it gets down to crunch time. It doesn't appear that other teams are in a hurry to get physical with either O'Reilly or Schenn. I'd like to see one of them take someone's head off after they run Tarasenko. That would go a long way to ending the mugging of 91.
The other thing......leave Steen out of the lineup unless there is an injury.
Here comes a REALLY solid Toronto team with 206 goals and a +/- of +42......uh..........go Blue???

Pretty surreal. They need every point they can get and when the streak ends it's all about how to close out the next 6 weeks and end on the rise again.
The ridiculousness of this schedule continues as well while the Blues win.
The last 16 games the Blues had to travel 16 times. In the next 14 games the Blues have to travel 14 times with 5 back to backs packed in to those 30 games and 3 of them on 3 consecutive weekends. Total BS schedule.
Binny getting the SO was great and gives Berube no reason to change how he's using him even as well as Allen played Saturday.
Not sure when 57 is coming back but he will help the second line pick it up.
So nice to see each and every Blue step up, isn't it? bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa

After watching Jamie Benn OWN the Blues and specifically, Pietrangelo, I think they will have a very hard time beating Dallas, should they run into them in the playoffs.
He is the 2010's version of Brendan Shanahan. He has speed, skill and a level of grit and toughness you just can't teach. I would trade any player and maybe even any two on the Blues for him. When I watched him sit on Pietrangelo and rub his head/face into the ice, last year and get away with it, I knew two things: He will own the Blues for years and Pietrangelo will always be a talented player that will never be great like a Chris Pronger. He lacks the edge needed to be great. The fact that he or his teammates just let that happen was disgraceful and made me embarrassed to be a Blues fan. Fast forward to last night and I watched Benn dominate the Blues and take liberties, with no repercussions. He paid no price. In short, the Blues are scared of him. If he wanted their lunch money, they would hand it over and beg for him not to hit them too. Last night he smoked Edmundson in the head and the Blues did nothing... Oh, did anyone notice Benn had 20+ mins of ice time and 2 goals last night. Pietro and Edmundson were both -3.
I like what I am seeing from this team but the lack of grit and toughness by a few key players is frightening and will be exposed when the rock-'em-sock-'em playoffs roll around.

I know you didn't like him.....but the Blues miss Backes....or somebody like him. It's not arguable. The team has no Captain right now.

I loved Backes and think the Blues did him a great disservice making him a "C". He would have been a great player with an "A" or nothing on his sweater. Wearing the "C" kept him from being great. His inability to hold players accountable and his disappearing acts in the playoffs were his only big flaws. And when you are wearing the "C" those are flaws you just can't have!!

You bounce up and down like a yo yo.
Heard Scott Stevens just 2 days ago claim the Blues are built for the playoffs with their strong D and ability to move the puck. In no uncertain terms. Scott Stevens. Go figure. All of this with Petro having his worst year ever and no, he should not be wearing any C.
Blues have 1 scoring line, that's their main problem as long as the goal tending holds up. And now, a key component of that line is down with Schenn and DP still out impacting line #2.
Down in Dallas, the 5 games prior, Benn had 2 assists and a -4 in that 5 game losing streak and fans were calling for his head and saying he has no character.
Gimme some goal tending and a second scoring line and this team can do some damage. I can save you some more viewing time it's not likely to happen with Schenn and DP out.
Have no idea where this team is going this year. I'll wait and see. Playing 30 games straight with 30 flights to do it, total screw job. And now key injuries piling up.

Collectively as a team and healthy, yes. Doubt they have the best of any of the 4 lines in the league but as a team, their 4 lines are very good.
DP injury hurting the scoring on #2 line substantially for how long now? He was a major part of that deal.
With Schenn out the lines are out of whack. Berube needs to do some ciphering during this outage and it would be nice if Schwartz was Schwartz and Fabbri could remember how to play pre injury hockey. Give Thomas more top 6 minutes, at least get that out of this. And for god's sake get Petro off the #1 PP.

Gee somehow the gritless, nontough, no character Blues beat one of the East's best yesterday.
That's right. After the gritless, nontough, no character Blues won 11 in a row then lost one, they came back yesterday while 4 starters were out and many more skating sick with the flu and a red hot Binnington and managed to put 30 hits on the streaking Bruins beating them with grit, toughness and character and a less than stellar performance otherwise.
Oh, and the amazing Jaime Benn, apparently worth any two Blues, bwaaaaaaaaaaa...pardon me I'm still laughing....went -1 yesterday as the Canes kicked the Stars azz blanking them 3-0.
2nd game of a traveling back to back tonight. 3rd weekend in a row. And another one next week. If only they had grit and toughness and character, they might win a few of them.
Schenn to IR. I'm guessing concussed. Blues are up against it. I'm scared what Army might do with this trade deadline.

Dude, reading comprehension is fundamental to these discussions. If you want to set up straw men, just to knock 'em down, go for it. But my comments about no grit and character were referring to a few top tier players on this current roster (and most of the roster earlier in the season). If you can't see that, you just aren't paying attention. Can you name one player on the Blues you would not trade for Jamie Benn? Based on their play this season, you might have an argument, albeit a weak one, for O'Reilly or Tarasenko.
Do you really expect Scott Stevens to call out Pietro for his lack of toughness? Of course he's not going to do that. But I would bet you a donut he would have plenty to say off the record. Anyone that knows hockey knows that Pietro is supremely talented player but simply doesn't play a tough as the great ones do/did.
Losing both Perron and Schenn is going to be a huge hit, if Schwartz and/or a few others don't pick it up. I wouldn't be surprised if Perron is done for good. Scrambled brains is rough way to go through the rest of your life.

I'm sorry, I thought you said there's not a Blue worth Benn. Or was it two Blues?
Wait, you did say that.
And now maybe not? Is that right? Got it.
And Stevens did not have to say anything about the Blues D, he was not asked about the Blues D, he just came out and said what he said about the Blues D all by his self. I did not say a word about Petro, I am not going to die on that hill. He is playing his worst hockey of his career and seriously hurting the team while doing so.
In spite of Petro, the Blues are plenty tough, plenty gritty as much or more than any team. The need scorers for their second line is what they need.
Jets and Preds and I believe Dallas all added scorers to their rosters yesterday. Blues hung on to their youth and did nothing up front. This is not the year for them so short of some lopsided deal which did not happen I am good with that and with Schenn and Perron coming back soon I'll be cheering them on to see what they can do.
The new Preds in town tonight. 4 new players in the last week. Hope they all got their whining and diving instructions down pat.
That is all.

So........now you’re blaming whining players and them getting g the refs to go within them in their falling down. Gotcha. The way some of those blues guys play, maybe they should do the same. They play the part half the time. Maybe they should play the beardedclam part all the time, and get some homer ref calls. After all, it’s the same refs and works both ways

I can say the same for your boy Perron.......I'm sure you think the Blues could have won more than 11 in a row if he was healthy......but I say part of the reason for the run was him NOT being in the lineup for the streak.

One too many IPA's this morning? Look, you have a hard-on for Perron. We get it. But you have to at least try to be reasonable. He and O'Reilly were about the only two bright spots on this team for the first half of the season. When he went down, he was playing about as strong as anyone...
Sadly, the Blues don't have much choice but to send one of the youngsters down. I do enjoy watching them come up and make it damn difficult on the Blues to send them back down. All of the youngins' are playing strong...

I don't like Perron, I don't like Steen, I don't like Pietrangelo, and I don't like Allen. I think the team is MUCH better without any of them around, and I think the record over the last 6 weeks bears that out.....save for Pietrangelo who is certainly no leader. Throw Bowmeester in with those 4 and you have the core of the group that should be moved the h ell off that team. Yes, I realize Perron just got back, but he's the same as he ever was......highly skilled and unable to play outside himself.....useless for a successful playoff run...as usual.
Obviously the team is headed in the right direction.....none of the above have played a major role in that. All but Perron sure have played a major role in where the team was.
Yeah, I realize they can't be moved right now.....but they can keep sitting.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

I'll basically agree with you but trashing this team as you do while ALL teams in the league have 3-5 guys they'd like to dump is ridiculous. We are talking about how they are playing with those guys, not how they could play with a perfect team. And WITH those guys they went 12-1-1 in February.
And Jbo has been actually not anything short of outstanding for past 6-8 weeks. There. I said it. I'm still breathing.
If I could I would sit Steen and play Mac or Blais or even Kyrou but we all know what will happen with this. Even scratching him every third game would be good.
This is not a likely Cup contender, not without solid goal tending and a lot more scoring punch. But this group seems to me anyway to have shaken off the past and have decided it's them that will decide where they go.
I did predict them 3rd in div last septemebr, but other than that which meant nothing really I'm not predicting a thing for them here on out. I'm just watching and more often than not being impressed with their play and their attitude.
And no doubt about it, this teams attitude since Jan 1 has been fun to watch. I hope they can keep it all going. If they make the playoffs, they have to start all over like any other team and yeah, they have to change that past too.
For now, it's simple. You just Go Blue.

This team has had a character problem for a number of years.....that core group I named is complicit in that. They are still on the team.....the team has won NOTHING yet and has yet to even hint they won't fold under playoff pressure.
Yeah, enjoy the games while they are playing well....I have too. Just stop sounding like a bunch of dipshit homers who have never seen a hockey game or watched a hockey team evolve into something better then you see here.
The are 2 players on this team who are free and clear of any of this team's baggage. O'Reilly and Binnington.....PERIOD.

Yeah, I'm still pissed off.....I've been pissed off for 3 years. And now they're going to insert Steen and Perron (and Allen every chance they get) back into your lineup that has won 25 of 28 points. You should be pissed off too.
And I'm going to just forget your comment about Bowmeester......he's -4 for the season Gomer. And yeah, he's been WAY short of outstanding....being adequate is WAY short of outstanding. You must be using North County math again.

Yeah, I'm still pissed off.....I've been pissed off for 3 years. And now they're going to insert Steen and Perron (and Allen every chance they get) back into your lineup that has won 25 of 28 points. You should be pissed off too.
And I'm going to just forget your comment about Bowmeester......he's -4 for the season Gomer. And yeah, he's been WAY short of outstanding....being adequate is WAY short of outstanding. You must be using North County math again.
Well Steen was a playing part of the team during the run, warts and all, so there goes that part of your demand. Then, on a team who desperately needs scoring, you want Perron to sit as he was pacing for 30+ even strength goals and 2rd on team in points per game before his injury. It's no wonder you are frustrated and pissed.....you don't even know what you are watching. Perron was one of the few bright spots during the debacle of Oct-Dec, including grit. He might be a knucklehead, but by god he's been a good knuckle head this season.
As for Jbo, he has been a plus 5 since Jan 1st. Again, playing injured and buried in a horrible start I wanted him gone now he's a 20 min guy at 34 years old coming off injury playing really good hockey. If you like to watch this team "evolve" as you said then this is one of the guys doing it. And since he was moved away from Petro and paired with Parayko funny how Parayko's game has significantly improved as well.
Just stay pissed off, there's no talking to you or convincing you of even the smallest thing good about this team even as they try to climb the ladder on a 12-1-1 run. Honestly don't know why you even watch they set 2 franchise records in February then claim it's nothing then claim they are going down with the hated 4 and god knows what else when they stumble but pretty clear win lose or draw this team is never going to please you anyway.
Now, just quit watching.....and btw get the fork off my lawn too.

No, sorry, steen is barely a part of the good play of the Blues. He had ZERO goals during the streak and didn't play in 3 of the games. He has a goal and 4 assists since the first of the year. In fact, he has ONE goal since November. He sucks, and he brings the entire team down.
Again, when Perron was playing the Blues were losing....period. Since he has been out of the lineup they are at the top of the league. I'm sure in your world that's a coincidence. I've never said her couldn't play or that he was not skilled.....I said he is not, and never will be, a team player.
One day, like you have with Petro (in your words, last year, one of the best defensemen in the game), you will admit that these two are not part of any solution either.
This team can't carry itself through the playoffs.

I said top 15 I believe.
And he was. By many who know the game well.
Now, not so much. Worst play of his career right now. Fallen off a cliff. For me, beyond what Allen did earlier, he is the Blues biggest roadblock for success because he is so far under his par.
And we agree on Steen, he should not be playing much at all, I just pointed out he was on that run. As for Perron, we'll see. I know his history quite well. Not easy to buck that but I am because I think players can and do change. Like I said, I'll just watch and see. This is a guy too that should just leave the game but apparently he likes hockey too much. Denying his numbers and play so far is just stupid.
So these guys and the other 18-20 players who matter as much or more are back on Friday trying to carry on the good mojo.
I'll be cheering them on. Not sure about "through" any play offs. They need to get there first.

They are actually dumbass boneheads. They are willing to jump on any bandwagon if they think it might bring a Stanley Cup to St. Louis.
BULLCHIT I SAY!!!!
I'll wait. Can you imagine the Stanley Cup inscribed with the St. Louis Blues as Alexander Steen, Jake Allen, Jay Bouwmeester, David Perron, Petriangelo, etc. FORK NO!! Barclay Plager would roll over in his grave.
Get rid of these anchors and let the kids have at it. If this team is going to make a run at the Cup in the next few years then let's get on with it and sit the forking losers who have dragged this franchise nearly into the ground with their lackluster bullchit play.
I can't stand this version of the Blues......but I love what's coming in the next few years. (yes, I may have been wrong about Armstrong and what he's trying to build, time will tell....but I'm not wrong about this team as it sits right now...I watched it for too long to think it's anywhere close to making a decent run with those forkers in the lineup)

Need we discuss the Jamie Benn / Dallas Stars situation any further? If you are anything above moron level and can’t see the Blues are now officially JB’s biatches, you need a smack upside the head...
He and his teammates OWNED the Blues tonight. A few feeble attempts at stirring up some chit with fake rough stuff by the Blues fell waaaay short of the effort put forth by the Stars.
I have to go now. I’m going to do some research to see what the rule is regarding a team’s right to decline power plays. The Blues may want to go that route, if the current trend continues.

Here's how I see it.
Berube came in and straightened out a disastrous locker room.
It took him another month or less to find a resemblance of chemistry on their lines.
I believe he got Robinson to put in the right D scheme.
He FINALLY dumped Allen.
Blues were LUCKY to have been holding onto Binny all these years having never given him a chance until now.
The team players needed time too for the front lines to get it together which coincided with Berubes take over or shortly thereafter.
I think THIS is the team I thought they had in August, plus one Binny. The THIS team that has played since mid December, without Allen.
And now the bad start is over.
Yeo is over
The small team December turnaround is over.
The month long franchise breaking streak is over.
They have lost 2 in a row. It's March. 5 teams and 2 places to fit them. Pressure is on.
And the Blues are staring right at it.
NOW....like right NOW....Is O'Reilly going to lead? Will the 2 missing forwards come back to help this team score more goals? Will Binny be the man or the beetch? Can they get a second line to score? Will injuries derail the whole thing?
What they gonna do?
They played like a Cup contender on that run. They beat the leagues best on that run.
But this is the Blues.
Like I said, any more rabbits in that hat coach?

5 of 6 points on that road trip.
Blues won the 2 they should have and took the Sharks to OT, without Tarasenko, in a game where they did not exactly play their best.
Getting Schenn back has been huge. I am beginning to think they are deliberately holding Perron back.

What was most frustrating is the ones Phoenix scored were on bone-headed giveaways. You can't have that when you're in the playoff race. But I guess that is secondary to the fact that they couldn't score on 214 chances, until they had a 6-on-4, with a minute to play. Give Phoenix credit. They took advantage of the gifts given to them and stayed strong in their own zone.
This road trip will tell a lot about where this version of the Blues will end up, in the playoff race.

Nope.... goaltending is, surprisingly, NOT an issue with the Blues. Only 5 teams have allowed fewer goals than the Note.
This team can't score. Mostly because they only have a couple of guys willing to get dirty in that low slot area. Most of their "scorers" like to skate and make pretty passes. That doesn't add up to goals.

I never said that.
If I did, I would agree with it.
When healthy, they have 4 good lines that can run with anyone. I did say that. And even with 2 key injuries, they ran with one of the best today.
It's YOU who said this team isn't tough enough. This team has no character.
It's me who said they need a second scoring line.
We'll see how this plays out when healthy.

Do you even watch the games or do you just come up with an opinion from 10 years ago and hang on to it regardless of the facts and things have evolved? Perron now has the 5th or 6th longest consecutive point streak in Blues history. He was strong in both the Pens and Sabers games. He has matured as an NHL player and I can assure you there isn't a team in this league that wouldn't want him (a few would have him on their #1 line and most would have him on their #2 line).
If you get time, actually watch a game and forget what you saw of a young Perron 10 years ago. Like you, I was glad to see him go when he left the Blues. But this is clearly a better, stronger, tougher version of him. He all but carried this team with O'Reilly for the first 3+ months of the season...
You want to talk about problems with this team and toughness, there is plenty to talk about before you get to Perron (like Petro, Schwartz, Steen, Fabbri, etc...) Unless you want to discuss the concussions and his missing games. But it sounds like you think the Blues are better off with him out of the line-up.
Carry on...

I watch every game.....and I watched the Blues thrive with that forker sitting on the bench where he needs to be. I watched him lay down, as usual, when the Knights were in the playoffs last year.
He's wildly talented, and scared of his own shadow. I just see a guy who has learned to use his stick and puck talents.....but that's it.

Yes he's so scared of his own shadow he continues to play a game that threatens his very future. And I'm not talking about a new set of teeth.
But just not tough enough.
Jeeezuz dude look around the league. It takes all kinds to make a team a Cup winner. Skilled players are every where, and I know it isn't a very good neanderthal way to run a team but the Blues can afford to carry some of that.
He's always been a bad play off performer. He's always been a knucklehead with offensive zone penalties. Far from perfect dude. We get that. Right now he balances the lines being back, making more than just himself better. And he scores points. Badly needed points. You know, take the good and take the bad, but always take the points when in doubt.
This might be 57's last year on skates. Looks like maybe one less guy will be on your lawn.

I haven't hitched to chit.
I just watch the games.
Yeah, he's old. With a bad hip too. Never been good? 15 years in the league. I'm sure that keeps him still on the lawn though. Played Canada's Olympic team in '14 and World Cup in '16. In case you don't know, being a top 6 defense man in all of Canada actually means something.
And Oh, if it ever comes down to grumpy stubborn get off my lawn guy versus a Scott Stevens or the coaches of Canada's cup teams or hell even Chief who's playing him 24 min a night..... I'll be sure to give you strong consideration.

You want to bet lunch money he played on those teams?
'14 Olympic and '16 World Cup? Is that the bet?
THAT'S the context of top 6. It's not hard to follow. Wait, they take 7. Go argue with the committee who selected him.
He was with Burns, Subban, Weber, Doughty. And he played.
Has your dumb azz heard of them?
Again, go argue the 15 year nhl vet was never any good but got on those teams being chosen by Canada's selection committees.

Yeah........now we're talking about team play all of a sudden?
Nice move.
Care to explain his selection for those two major events to represent Canada?
15 years in the league and he's never been good?
Last night, Panger said Jbo/Parayko best tandem in the league right now. He might be half wrong, but it still makes you whole wrong. Then Bernie said Jbo/Parayko have been the Blues shut down pair since January. You know when you get out done by Bernie and Panger you really forked up
Dude, you're a stubborn idiot. NO ONE but you would not admit the night and day improvement....complete turnaround....from his play just months ago. He was horrible all last year and then some after the hip and 3X's the player since healing. He's a skater, always has been, and if he retires this year he can go out on top.
And again....listening to this tripe from you versus Scott Stevens about a hockey player? BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Oh, and those idiots in Canada who kept picking him to represent them in world play...you got them beat too...bwaaaaaaaaaa.......Save it and tell it to dawg......tell him grieffen said it....he'll bite all the way.

Well, that's the problem with this version of the Blues. They certainly have enough talent to make a deep run with the goalie situation stabilized (at least for now). BUT.....they've never shown enough character to get there. Tarasenko, Petreangelo, Bouwmeester, Steen, Parayko, Perron, Schwartz, etc. all basically disappear when the play gets rough in the playofs. It's been a common theme for the last playoff appearances.
A tiger doesn't change it's stripes. I hope they make me eat my words, but I believe they will be golfing by the end of April.

It would take a monumental meltdown to miss the playoffs. So, I think we're pretty safe there. As far as how far they can go, it is anyone's guess. It really comes down to three simple things. 1. Avoid major injuries to key players. 2. Get solid goaltending. 3. Play with some grit and toughness. As Scott said, they have the skill to go deep. They just need a gut check and have everyone step up.
Tonight's game is going to be pretty big. It will put them in a tie with Scott's favorite team, Nashville. And give them a great opportunity to take over that spot down the stretch. Anyone that would have predicted that in December would have been smokin' crack.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to see a certain, conflicted cafe poster watching the game tonight in his Preds sweater, whilst slamming his IPA's...

Well there is something we agree on. STL is a chithole. I travel 30-40 weeks of the year and spend a good deal of time in other mid-size and large cities. Just spent 2 days in Boston last week (about to spend a bunch of time there between now and August). I have to say, it is really hard to F-up a downtown any more than STL has managed. It is especially disheartening when you see what so many of the other metro areas have done. But I can't say I care much for Nashville. Yes, it is 1,000X better than STL but that is a pretty low bar... Nashville has become an overcrowded, expensive place for bachelor and bachelorette parties with a lot of bro-country.
I was at a hockey game in their inaugural season and them was some clueless rubes... But Nashville hadn't gotten out of control by then. You could still get into most of the bars without an outrageous cover charge and downtown hotels weren't $250-$500 a night and up. Now the Preds are good, some of the fans actually understand hockey but the nightlife will almost bankrupt you...
Too bad the Blues can't play in West County...

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

Set goal tending aside.
The issue is not grit and toughness. This team is plenty tough enough. They are 16-8-2 against top ten teams. The issue is if they can score in the play offs......and not just the top line. See last 3 games for reference.
As for past years, pretty sure Binner, Sunny, Schenn, Thomas, Bozak, Dunn, O'Reilly and Barbs were not a part of that, nor was Steen playing 4th line, where he belongs.
Now bring goal tending back in and if Binner really is what he has been you can really throw out "what they have done in the past".
Since Jan 1, these are the NHL's top 5 in points.
League
56 Tampa Bay
55 Boston
54 St. Louis
52 Carolina
49 Calgary
Conference top 5:
54 St. Louis
49 Calgary
46 San Jose
43 Arizona
42 Winnipeg
They may not have the names to win a Cup, they don't have the skill set to win a Cup but this is a good team by any standard. It isn't even about this year, it's about a team that can truly build into a Cup winner in the next year or two off the pieces in place.
Play offs across the whole league will be a crap shoot for all the teams. Blues will draw Preds and might be golfing by mid April. But I don't expect to see any lay down. And if they should get by the Preds.....dear Katy bar that door.

I don't think they have the horses. Yes, I think this is the beginning of what can be a cup contender, maybe even next season if they drop a few of the names I mentioned.
Still, no way I'm giving that group a pass this year until they prove they WILL play in playoff mode. Perron never has, Steen never has, Tarasenko never has, Schwartz never has, Bouwmeester never has, and Petro never has......so let's see what they bring this year.
They may not even have Nashville in the first round.....they have a tougher schedule than the Note does....and I wouldn't count out the Blues to catch Winnepeg at this point. But yeah, likely Nashville.
Yeah, they have beaten Tampa this season.....but the 2nd and 3rdd period Saturday night was not pretty. I don't think they can win 2 games against that team in a series.....but I'll go out on a limb and say Binnington...if he can handle the pressure as a rookie.... could make a difference there.
Lots of question marks for a "good team".....we'l see.

That was probably the best 4 game home stand the Blues have had in many years. I don't imagine any team in the league is looking forward to that bunch down the stretch.

At this point, when it counts in April-June.....I don't think the Note can beat either of those teams.

Boston has plenty of its own problems. They are far from a lock to win anything. And Tampa is a very good regular season team. We'll see how it translates in the playoffs. I would not bet against them but all it takes is one good team on a roll to bounce them.
ls, I agree it is about the scoring in the playoffs but a good deal of the scoring in the playoffs is about toughness and grit. If you have noticed, many of the games where the Blues could not score, they had tons of SOG's with little or no net-front presence. When Maroon and others started getting dirty and mucking it up in front of the net, scoring came. Even in the games where they scored from the slot or D-men from the point, the physical presence had opened up shooting lanes. In the playoffs you have to play hard and be willing to hit and get hit. The game changes and unless you have Gretzky, Messier, Kurri and the rest of that Oilers dynasty-type players, you had better be ready for the battles.
I am not laying down any cash in Vegas but this could be one of those years like the 2012 Kings. Lots of similarities with the rough start, coaching change and peaking at the right time...
Rangers and Devils next. Both already eliminated from the playoffs. They really need to get 3 or 4 of the 4 available points...

This is what I said 2-3 weeks ago......and Andy just made the point about how they are finally clogging the slot.
THAT'S what it will take to win in the playoffs.

Go Blues
Could not agree more on the close in work and shots from high danger areas that has to be done to score. A big part for sure. This team is tough enough to do that but getting it on net is just as important. They need to continue to finish their plays and more than likely to advance anywhere they need to get better at it or pick up new scoring winger next year.
Here's a question for you...Blues clinch PO the minute the Avs tie or lose.
Should the Blues go all out on remaining games for home ice with Preds or even 1st place Jets or do they rest some their guys an extra game or two like O'Reilly or Senko and even an extra rest day for Binner to close out the season?
Remember Hitch going hard for the Hart Trophy few years back? bwaaaaaa.......that did not work out so well.

This is what I said 2-3 weeks ago......and Andy just made the point about how they are finally clogging the slot.
THAT'S what it will take to win in the playoffs.
I just don't see them with enough horses to sustain it once the other team starts throwing down....no matter who it is.

And it still is. There really isn't much to like about this team when you look player by player......just not much there....very little character....just generally unlikeable....fork 'em.
Reilly, Schenn, Maroon, Paryako, Binnington...the Johnson kid....OK....then it starts getting pretty thin and eventually falls off a cliff. I like Berube too, and it's obvious the players respect him. I'd hate like hell if this team goes on and wins a cup, unlikely as that is. But in a year or two when more of the dead weight is gone, I could see it.
But Steen, Petro, Bouwmeester, Perron, Allen, etc. with their name on the cup under "St. Louis Blues".....gimme a forking break. Makes me want to puke.

I don't know....I meant Thomas.
Look, I don't like this team.....period. In the 50+ years I have been a rabid Blues fan this is the worst bunch ever put together.
I'm happy that some changes were made before the season and I think the young crop coming up has a chance to right the ship.....obviously they are already having an effect.
The bad taste in my mouth from the last 3-5 years of this team just completely laying down is not out of my mouth. Enough of it remains that I DON'T WANT THEM TO WIN THE CUP THIS YEAR. Next year, or the year after, when most or all of the azzhats who dragged this franchise are gone I'll be back to 100%........but no way that happens this season.

As I said, bazaar.
I mean...way out there. Beyond. And pretty sad.
For this team to win a Cup this year, to have come back from last place in the LEAGUE, to then get through the most grueling play off in all of sports by 10 fold, and then say there is 5 shitheads on the team who do not deserve it, 4 of them starters, 4 of them long time vet NHL players who would make ANY team in the league as we speak, 4 of them who would undoubtedly be and already are an integral part of any such feat, is absolutely bazaar and dude you are ate up really really bad.
In July I predicted a Cup in the coming 2 years. But sorry, I'll take the Cup this year. As crazy as this conversation might be. And I would be the first in line on Market street for the parade.
I am done with this. Have fun with the playoffs staring at the TV rooting for a first round loss....dawg will join you.... bwaaaaaaaa.....what a knuckle head.

Pretty big game tonight for two reasons:
First is the obvious. Being in 2nd place is a pretty big deal for home ice advantage in the playoffs. Not the end of the world if they don't get it but a pretty big advantage if they do.
Second, the Blues have chit the bed in several games this year against non-playoff teams. They really need to show they can turn it up a notch when something is on the line, even if it is against a non-playoff team. Everyone knows the Hawks would love nothing more than to beat the Blues and keep them out of 2nd place, just as a matter of principle. And everyone know the Blues currently have the better roster and better team. They need to keep the momentum, going into the playoffs and put their foot on the throat of the Hawks and never let up!!
Need another big game from Perron!!
Go Blues!!

The Note ends up 17 games over .500......and Binnington is 19 games over since he started on Jan. 7.....THAT is the entire story of the team this season. Nothing else.
Should be Calder winner in a walk.....fork Petterson....he got shut down once the league realized he was a player. And, you can make a hell of an argument for MVP. What other player came in with his team struggling to stay out of last place in the league and brings them to 1st in their division on the last day? It'll never go to a goalie in a season when the top team registered 128 points. (or any other season for that matter)

The Blues are a better team than the Jets. If both teams play their best, the Blues win this series in 5 or 6 games. The Blues control their own destiny.
The only way they lose this series is if the goaltending does not remain top tier or they pull some no-shows and give post game quotes like "We got outplayed and outworked..." Both are possibilities.
Binninigton has saved this season, in large part but he has 0 minutes of NHL playoff experience. Hopefully, he stays cool as a cucumber and continues doing what he does. If he starts to feel the pressure and gets away from his game, it could go poorly. My bet is that he will do fine, maybe even steal a game.
The no-show issue is real and this team has the first half of the season to show for it. I hope like heck they play 60 mins strong, every game. But they have shown us they are fully capable of not showing up at times. God only knows what causes that but if it happens in this series, they will lose those games.
Let's not ignore the fact that the Jets are not much better than .500 since January and the Blues have mostly been on fire in that same stretch. And don't think that isn't in the Jets heads a little. But they have Byfuglien back and if he is 100%, he can be a difference maker. Let's hope he's not 100%...
Blues in 6...

OK.....a win works.
Binnington was the difference....again. It was obvious that everybody in the building, Jets players and fans, tried to rattle the kid and he held up.....that could be HUGE if he holds that because everybody, in EVERY series, is going to run him. No doubt the team knows they owe him for being where they are and are willing to protect him, it shows.....so there's that. It's a bit of character from a team that needs some practice in that area....but they stood up for him, I'll give them that. When have we seen Steen ready to fight for anybody? But he was.
I thought the Blubs got pushed around a bit, but they weathered it....so that's a plus. The Jets are a big, tough team.
I haven't seen the stats but I have a sense that they didn't win as many faceoffs as they are capable of.
The power play HAS to be better.
The #1 line has to be better.
They are going to have to pick it up physically as this series goes on.....and that worries me.
Overall.....I was impressed with the win....because they stole one. That's what it takes to win a series. That's what we haven't seen before.

Perron with a great shot. Jbo and Parayko shut down their first line. Steen protecting Binner first in and then his PK and last 1:30 on 6/5 shows what he is good at.
I think that about covers the gang with no "character". bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Binner was unreal. Literally.
Schenn-Senko-O'Reilly all played tough and will get their chances if they keep it up. Meanwhile, lines 2 and 3 came through.
Blues were pounded first two but that third period was pure domination. That crowd was stunned.
Berube pulled all the right strings. Does Sanford sit next game for MacMac or Blais?

The Blues were beat up and pretty much manhandled for two periods, but showed something coming back like they did in the 3rd. Props for that to them. Friday night will be a freaking war. You gotta know that after losing like that at home, that the Jets ware going to come out with everything they have right out of the chute. It wouldn't surprise me to see someone (Byfuglien?) from the Jets drop their gloves early to get them going. The Blues best be ready or the first period could get ugly.

To me the Blues stood toe to toe with them and withstood all the hits they put on them. Hits went to Jets but even there it wasn't exactly lopsided.
I said they got pounded for first two and they pretty much did but look at the shots on goal and it tells the real story of how the Blues played, not how many hits they took.
Jets looked to wear them down and the exact opposite happened. The 3rd was all Blue.
IMO Blues keep them at mid 20's on shots and the Blues will take this series.
I expect all these games to go different but if I'm the Jets I would re think their hitorama strategy on this team. Blues were focused on what they had to do and they did it last night.

Unless the Blubs #1 line gets going, AND THAT MEANS THE PERENNIAL PLAYOFF DISAPPEARANCE OF TARASENKO, they can't win this series.
And I don't want to hear any stupid bullchit about how he scored a goal tonight.....on a power play....where he did NONE of the work. He has not been a factor in any game.
Same with Perron......yeah, he had the power play goal, but he's scared of his own shadow when he has the puck at even strength.....but he can run his mouth after the play is over and the refs are there.
He reminds me of Jimmy Campbell.
And don't even get me started on Bowmeester tonight.
The weaknesses will always come through at nut cutting time.

Both of JBO's penalties on Sunday were because he was slow to react. It appears that the game (especially in the playoffs) is too fast for him.
The Blues really need this one tonight. I think they can do it, the question is if they WILL do it..
We might see who is right in the "heart" debate tonight..

If any of you still have the goddamn game on, then rewind it to 5:30 of OT and watch Perron REFUSE to go into the corner for a puck in the Jet's zone, fall back on his heels because he's scared of being hit, and stand and watch as the Jets take the puck, skate down the ice, and win the game.....and likely the series if the last two games are any indication (and you KNOW they are). I don't give a rats arse how many concussions he's had or whatever his beardedclam arse problem is, he has no business playing in a game like this.....he's forking USELESS!! He has NEVER shown up in the playoffs for any team.......NEVER!!
GODDAMIT!!!!!!!!!
Timmy, you got your answer.......the Blubs weren't even in the game after the Jets tied it in the 3rd. The Blubs #1 line vs. the Jet's #1 is a complete forking joke. The ONLY time Tarasenko will engage is on the PP when there's no chance he'll be hit.
THIS TEAM HAD ONE EVEN STRENGTH GOAL IN TWO HOME GAMES.....good damn thing they have 4 lines that can play with anyone in the league.
No heart, and no character. As much as I like him, when Maroon is the best player on the ice, and the only one willing to mix it up......your team is forked.
This team is going golfing in 4 days.

Because Perron is possibly the series MVP (actually, runner up. Binnington has to be MVP, so far). You see coaches have to play the players that are playing the best. They can’t afford to go all Foghorn Leghorn on players, based on a hard-on from 10 years ago...
Still Blues in 6 or 7. Nothing has changed...

You idiot......he moved Schenn to open up some ice for Schwartz and maybe give himself two lines (of the 4 that can play with anyone in the league
).
This was not a promotion for Perron......geez. LMAO
You can't put Perron on a line where NOBODY is going to hit.....he'll get killed.
I already gave him his props as a stick and puck guy.....great talent.....he just can't lead because he's a beardedclam.
IF the Blubs can get by the Jets it will only show worse and worse as each series gets more physical.....he just won't play in a game like that.....scared to death of being hit.

I don't know if that's enough.....but with Calgary gone and Nashville and San Jose on the ropes....maybe the moon and stars are lining up for a run to the finals.

Up until the last two games, I would have thought it was the pre-season they way they skated and failed to hit hardly anyone hard.

Back in HS, I used to sneak to STL to watch the Blouse play. My parents didn't want me to drive in STL traffic, so we just went and didn't tell anyone. We used to sit in the cheap seats at the Kiel Center, usually with some pole blocking our view. I don't keep up with the new players and the changes, nor can I name 1/2 the players on the team.......because I'm never home to watch the games.
I might not keep up with the Blouse as much as you do, but I KNOW good hockey when I see it. Nearly every regular season game I watched, it was shitty hockey. The first 4 games of this series, it wasn't great hockey. No hits, no pushing, no shoving, all smiles to the other team. Passing the puck in the triangle during a power play. The last couple playoff games were way better. They played like they wanted to win, and just not show up hoping to win. I might not be Towel Man, but I know what the hell is going on and have for a long time.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

Blues won it in 6, as expected. Nothing surprising here. They were the better team, if both teams played at their best (see previous posts). The Jets gave up in game 6. Had the Blues not let off the gas, in the 3rd, that game could have been 4 or 5-0. That is something they need to improve on.
Only the Walt Kowalski's of the world could pick this team apart right now. A guy would have to be holding onto some real anger and hurt to be picking this team apart and declaring some players worthless and others OK. If I knew anyone like that I would suggest some therapy or maybe some beers to loosen the cob up their arse.
This team is pretty solid and every loss isn't because they have no heart or gave up. Contrary to the thought process of people that appear to have never played sports, there is another team out there trying to win as well. And sometimes that other team plays very well. Sometimes they have your number and shut down everything you try to do. Sort of like the Jets experienced Saturday night. It happens to every team. Just ask the Lightening and Flames... The Blues are not immune to it.
So, I would advise losing the I-hate-most-of-the-team-but-want-them-to-win charade and just enjoy the ride. Because it doesn't go any further than the next round if every player isn't playing up to their potential. Let's hope Perron continues his run of MVP type play since he's come back from the concussion!!!
Lets' go Blues!!

A hockey player? It's not anger, just a complete lack of respect on my part for some guys who didn't show any to the sweater or the franchise.
The Blues are where they are because of Berube, Binnington, O'Reilly, Schenn, and Maroon.....period. The new heart of the Blues. The team couldn't win a bingo game until they arrived.
I'm good with how the rest of the group has responded and I'm enjoying every minute of it.
Let's see how you feel if the Note has to take on Jamie Benn and the Stars.
He's a part owner of the Blues. Headed to overtime now against the Nashville Whiners.
You are right that it's any team's cup to win this year........and looking WAY AHEAD, coupled with the game they played against the Blues in the last week of the season.....Colorado is forking scary right now....not a team in the league that can match their speed.
There's a long way to go.....and only a Stanley Cup will be good enough for me....we shall see.

If you know hockey as you say then act like it. Seems to me you count hits and declare a loser without a clue as to what actually happened. Blues had ZERO retaliation penalties in 6 games against the Jets. No small factor. This isn't ufc. I'll take the win on the score board against the bigger and faster team, thanks.

I can't seem to find when the next round starts and what the schedule for the games. I am guessing that the NHL waits until all the first round games are done before setting the schedule for all second round games?

Yeah, you got me there.....the Blouse were a bonafide juggernaut before that group came on board.
Get the fork out of here with that stupid chit.....this was a team with no soul and no heart. That they have at least found some heart is a direct result of the group I named......it's not arguable.
You need to stop listening to the homers on Fox Sports and actually pay attention to the game.

Bad game.
Is that what we call it now???? No heart. Gutless. Scared.
Turn on the sharks knights games if you want to see some hitting. They check and hit, push after the play, get mouthy, and act like they hate each other. When you watch a blues game, those clown are smiling and laughing at the opposing team. No pushing after the whistle. Just beardedclam play
Out hit again. And 3 dirty goals to win the game
Come back when u learn the game dude.
After reading your posts, I’m not sure you understand hockey, baseball,
Or football. I don’t watch many Blouse games, because they don’t show them in Oklahoma or Texas. When I do watch, I’m not impressed. I have watched the playoffs, because it’s shown nationally. The last two games they finally woke up and played some playoff hockey. Up until the last two games, I would have thought it was the pre-season they way they skated and failed to hit hardly anyone hard.
Go play armchairs quarterback and explain the game to Bubba. I’m well aware of what’s going on.
Pretty clear You dont know chit about hockey dude
As for football and baseball ill just back off and read your stuff for a good laugh like always
BwaaaaAa
Back in HS, I used to sneak to STL to watch the Blouse play. My parents didn't want me to drive in STL traffic, so we just went and didn't tell anyone. We used to sit in the cheap seats at the Kiel Center, usually with some pole blocking our view. I don't keep up with the new players and the changes, nor can I name 1/2 the players on the team.......because I'm never home to watch the games.
I might not keep up with the Blouse as much as you do, but I KNOW good hockey when I see it. Nearly every regular season game I watched, it was shitty hockey. The first 4 games of this series, it wasn't great hockey. No hits, no pushing, no shoving, all smiles to the other team. Passing the puck in the triangle during a power play. The last couple playoff games were way better. They played like they wanted to win, and just not show up hoping to win. I might not be Towel Man, but I know what the hell is going on and have for a long time.
Go explain the power play to Bubba. He will get aroused. when you start off with 4 on 3 or 5 on 4
If you know hockey as you say then act like it. Seems to me you count hits and declare a loser without a clue as to what actually happened. Blues had ZERO retaliation penalties in 6 games against the Jets. No small factor. This isn't ufc. I'll take the win on the score board against the bigger and faster team, thanks.
Oh...there are no poles in the Kiel Center.
bwaaaaaaaaaaa
I clearly remember a playoff game against the MN Stars where I sat behind a pole or a damn vertical beam for 3 periods..........but hey,
I’m not sure you remember what you ate for dinner or the last time you hit a hard on........let alone what the cheap seats at the Kiel Had.
Bwaahahahahahahahaahahahaaaa

Thank you for making my point for me. Without the group I mentioned....which mostly came aboard this season (minus Schenn of course).....the Blouse, as they were, were hopeless, gutless losers.
This group has them at least playing with some heart, but the team still lacks a soul with Pietrangelo as Captain. Hopefully that changes after this season....no matter how it plays out.
The group gives me hope for the franchise......not many others on the team do that.

First off, you have been bad mouthing this team since day one.
You jump on and off the wagon at the drop of a hat.
You chided their win streak in the middle of it.
You said they couldn't beat the big bad Jets.
You said you hated this team.
You said you did NOT want this team to win a Cup.
You called this team the worst in franchise history.
You said you said you said.
And here now you say and point out 4 clear winners on the team like it's all of a sudden rocket science and declare the rest losers....I suppose that is your point.
So FOUR players give you hope??? For a Cup??? I know even you are not this dumb. Well....possibly not. This team offers far more than 4. It takes 18 plus 2 to win a Cup goofy. Might not be there yet no doubt, but one forking ton more than 4 is already in place.
bwaaaaaaaaaa.........sorry, just have to laugh.
You're as late as they come with the good acting like you're first in ....while you're always the first out with the bad.
You're too forking scared to root for any team.
I mean, except for the preds.
bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

1. I'm still bad mouthing this team.....I don't like 75% of them......in fact, fork 'em.....they laid down for most of the last 3 years.
2. I'm not on any wagon.
3. They had the easiest schedule in hockey after the all star break.....not arguable. Binnington.....that's all.
4. They surprised me against the Jets.....who knew the Jets would stink up their own house that badly? Then AGAIN, Binnington WAS the difference in the first 2 games when the Blubs were basically outplayed.....especially in game 1.
5. I DO hate this team......don't want most of their names on the Cup should they win....they don't deserve it.
6. See 5
7. It absolutely IS the worst team in the franchise history if you take out the 4 I named.
8. Yes, I said, I said, I said, and I stand by all of it.
9. Not rocket science.....nobody else would "step up"
10. Yeah, 4 players and some bit players can win a cup....especially if the goalie is lights out....and you ARE that dumb to not know it.
11. You don't have to be sorry.....you'd laugh if the team was out of the playoffs and pontificate about how they can come back next year.
Hopeless homer.
12. I've been calling this team for what it is for 3 years.....plenty see why they may be able to turn it around.....you ain't one of them.
13. I won't root for a loser.
14. I love the city of Nashville.....I may move there. This city is a chithole.
15. Too many a's, not enough h's.......get it right, you look stupid.
16. Go Blue!!! (but only as long as they are in the hunt for a cup.....otherwise, fork them......52 years is a joke.....get back in there and get some more players and dump the dead weight they've been carrying and trying to pass off as players)

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

I think when this series is over we will know exactly where the Blues are right now. (probably still a couple players away from being true contenders is my guess)
Here's the deal in my book.....the line of Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and Alexander Radulov is probably the top line left in the playoffs. They have beaten the hell out of the Blues physically and mentally in almost every game I can remember.
I'm not sure the Blues have an answer for them. (it's possible there isn't a team left in the playoffs that does) The fact is, Benn has owned them in the past 2-3 seasons. To say he is not in their head would be a giant understatement. I know, LS, that you think a few players can't make the difference.....you have done your best to make that case......you're about to see how full of chit you are when that line comes to town.
Bishop is likely the best goalie left as well, but he can be had in a 7 game series as we have seen time and again. The Stars will come after Binnington.....this is NOT Winnipeg. Hopefully he is as unflappable as he has been so far.....but the intensity will be a notch above anything he has ever seen.
I think the Stars have the match-ups and ability to sweep the Blues.....but if not, this series will have to go to seven for the Blues to win.
I doubt the Blues are good enough, right now, to take the Stars......just not tough enough.
I'll be happy to be wrong.
Go Blues!

Every player on that team deserves to be beat to a pulp for their participation in post game antics like duck-duck-goose, ring-around-the-rosy and whatever other stupid chit they did after games. I don't know if I could possibly hate a team more then them. Well, its not as much as griffin hates the Blues but it is pretty bad.

As a result, he keeps making even more absurd comments. Your best best is to look like the guy that just figured out he is on a hidden camera show and just shake your head. As long as you keep responding, he's going to keep with the crazy talk. Now, if you want to keep this going, I'm sure he will eventually run out of absurdities and have to say something, anything that makes sense. But that will likely be a while...
Somebody better tell the twin!

Blues have yet to play Dallas their best hockey.
If they do, they'll take the series.
If they don't, they won't.

I gotta go Blues in 7.
But dayum, this is the one match-up I did not want to see. Dallas is a good team but no better than the Blues. The bigger issue is simply mental. If the Blues can get it in their head that they are the better team and play at their best, they'll be fine. I just worry they will do stupid chit like Perron did in bumping Bishop. He took the bait and committed a stupid penalty at a time they couldn't afford it. You have to know the circumstances and how the rotten officiating woks in the NHL, if you're going to have any hope in succeeding. I'm sure he got an earful from Berube and Ott for that move...
No panic. If they can come back home 2-2, you have to like their chances.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

I think it's an absolute stretch to say that the Blues are the better team. MAYBE you could get away with "as good"....but no further....
Seguin
Benn
Bishop
Zuccarello
Redulov
Heiskanen
Niichuskin
Polak
When you go position by position there isn't really a player on the Blues I wouldn't trade to get any of them.....and that includes Binnington for Bishop.
Do I think the Blues can win this series.....sure, it's one series. Do I think the Blues are the better team.....hell no, and neither does anyone else.

In the days of Dan Kelly and Gus Kyle they would call tonight a "character win".....and I think it was. I'd be surprised if the Note doesn't prevail in this series. Still a few problems with the top line and the Captain.....but a solid team effort that ought to give them more confidence going forward.
Man, you think I'm hard on the Blues.....they basicaly get no love from the national broadcasters, who spent most of the telecast looking for the Stars to come back and win.
I wish Thomas would shoot the damn puck. I wish Perron would sit down. I wish the Captain never touched the puck in his own end. But Bouwmeester and Parayko are doing a hell of a job on the Star's top line.......I'm gonna take Bouwmeester off my list after watching himn the first 3 games of this series. Schwartz is everywhere!! Binnington still absolutely on the money with his positioning.....solid play, but he didn't win this one.....mark it down to the hard work of the 3rd line.
Perron, Steen, the Captain, and even Tarasenko ......nah.....grow a pair. And WTF is Schenn doing? He's lost out there right now.

Bout 4 months slow on figuring out who our top D pairing is and the job they are doing. And along with them, who do you think the forwards are who are helping shut down Winny's top line and this top line so far??
Jesus.
And since the confessional is now open, you can go tell dawg what 4 good lines looks like too. 13 players in double digit goals.
Long way to go. Stars were down to Preds too. And yes, even with the bad matchup for STL this is a series where the best team will win Gomer. Blues had plenty of mistakes but plenty more to give if they can put it all together.
As always with the Blues, that's a big IF. But Berube might pull it off.

Speaking of Berube, he and this coaching staff may be the collective MVP of this team. And getting Larry Robinson to be an adviser to assist Mike Van Ryn was a brilliant move by Stillman or Armstrong or whoever did it. Other than cleaning up some of the D-zone turnovers this defense is playing about as good as any defense I've seen wearing the Bluenote.

Oh, I almost forgot. Who the fork is that dame yapping on the broadcast? This chit where these networks feel the need to make sure there is a woman involved at every level need to rethink things. Half of why I hate it is for the simple reason that I just don't want to hear a female voice in the booth. Call it whatever you want. I just isn't pleasing to the ear. More like fingernails on a chalkboard. The other half is that she has nothing of any value whatsoever to offer. Her nickname should be Ms. Obvious. Her broadcast partners almost never engage with her because the chit she says is so inane, it doesn't warrant a reply. And the one time she got a reply last night is when she said something so stupid one of the other guys said, "I'm going to have to disagree with you on that..." I am assuming she was a college or National Team player.
If she is around for the Conference finals or God forbid, the Stanley Cup Final, I think they will get some real pushback from real hockey fans. She is dreadful...

What’s a line????? This hickey thing is so confusing. I’m still waiting for homer Custers last stand to explain how he never saw the upright support poles in the nose bleeds at the Kiel center before we move onto something else.
Without Binnington, this team would have been planning their golf days in January. The Stars finally scored a goal with 5 on 5 hockey last night. Up to that point, every goal against the Blouse was short handed or 4 on 4. Good teams don’t give up short handed goals and control the PP. the D was suspect last night late in the game also with Binnington being out of position with an open Dallas shooter. That’s not his fault. But hey.......it’s the best 4 lines in Hockey right??????

Since you got your panties all wadded up on it, I've sat in the nose bleeds many times on Clark, just last year top row. No, I never saw a forking column in view. Maybe they saw you coming and found one for you. bwaaaaaaaaa
Kiel center was built in '94. I guess you graduated HS after that. Blues were in the old barn before that and there were plenty of columns there.
I can't handle the two of you at the same time. Your hockey comments above don't even make sense unless I want to type a million words to straighten it all out.

It was funny listening to the national pundits just now regarding the Blues. Their opinion, collectively, was that the Blues don't play with enough intensity and "mean-ness" to go far in the playoffs......they are "too nice". They said that maybe the play of Bartusso would be a "wake up call".
All laid the blame of the series being 2-1 Blues firmly on Bishop's shoulders.
Man, I think everything they said was right on the money.....except that we may be wrong about this team, this year.
Most, if not all, of the 8 teams left didn't think they would be here (leave it to the Blubs to win it all in a year when all 4 wild card teams advanced and knocked out the favorites)......maybe San Jose and Boston are the exceptions.
Still......of the 8 teams left, you have to like the Blubs chances. I would think that if they win this series they move to the favorite spot for the odds makers based on consistency since the all-star break. Yeah, I agree that even this series is far from over.....but something weird is happening this playoff season for sure. (NOBODY wants to have to win 3 out of 4 against this group right now...and they're getting better every game)
Go figure....Berube may have the magic potion for this club.
Hopefully, by the time teams figure out you can scare the crap out of the Blues, with some rough play, it'll be too late.
Go Blue!!

How in the world could they be doomed? They had the best record in hockey after Jan 1. They have 4 of the best lines in the league. Their Captain is one of the best defensemen in the league. They have shown unbelievable heart and grit. Almost all of the teams who finished ahead of them in the standings are gone.
This is a gimme.

And Bishop acted like a EPL player that just got tapped on the leg. You would have thought he was hit by a samurai sword. WTF is with these Dallas players and their pussified diving and acting? That tap from Perron would not have even made a 9 year-old flinch. What a forkin' wuss...
If you watch the games (many of us doubt you do
) you will see Bishop whacking the backs of legs, ankles and poking players in the back all game long. As far as I'm concerned, anybody that endures that crap, can whack him any time, as long as they don't get caught. In fact, I'd like to see Bishop laying in the ice in real pain, after he chops at the wrong ankle one time... Of course he'll just go on the DL like he does 2 or 3 times every year. The Blues just got outplayed last night, plain and simple. Dallas came out strong and with a purpose, on their home ice and simply beat them. Just like the Blues did the game before.
We now have a 3 game series with the Blues having 2 of those at home. Blues in 7...
Go Blues!!

There is not a team in the league with goalie management as screwed up as the Blubs have been.
Perron is a puzzzzzzzzy......I might agree with you on someone else wacking Bishop.....but not Perron's scary arse.

Not sure whether to laugh or really start to get worried about your mental health. The forkin' diver and flopper played all of 46 games this year. I'm far to busy to do a stat search but how many games has he missed due to "injury" over the years? Yeah, he's a pretty good goalie but let's not pretend he can be counted on. He has far more "soft goals" this series than Binnington and his diving and flopping antics are embarrassing. And now that's he's taken to cheap and dirty play (as opposed to hard-nosed play), you can have him.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow night. If they can keep Perron buzzing like he has been (another goal yesterday on two shots, +2 and credited with 2 hits) and get that #1 line to step up and be a #1 line, they'll be fine. If those guys can't step up in a game 7, they don't deserve to win. I am also looking forward to Sammy Blais being back in the lineup. A goal, on 2 shots, +1 and 9 hits!! Ya think he wants to sit in the press box again?!?!?
Unfortunately, I'm going to be on the road Tuesday, on the East Coast but should have time to find a good watering hole with the game on. I'll be with a guy from KC bu with some ties to STL. He's a bit of Blues fan and likes refreshing adult beverages. I'll be set. Now I just have to find my Perron sweater to don, while watching the game.

Super diver is 2-0 in games 7. Both were shut outs for Tampa. He got a 9.9 from the scoring judges too. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Games a toss up. Not just on who the better team might be but because it's about who will manage best to get their game to dictate on the ice.
That, and then who comes out ahead in goal tending and how the refs call the game. 5/5 HAS BEEN advantage Blues.

Yes, Tim, you absolutely can.
Awesome hockey game last night.....Blubs came to play for sure.
Not sure about the Stars.....just not much effort there. No toughness.....not the game they need to play against the Blubs. Still, their speed was a problem for the Blubs and there were plenty of opportunities for them to win it in OT.
The Blubs have won nothing yet.....no matter what Homer and others will say. They've been here before, plenty of times.
San Jose and Colorado can both present problems the Blubs will have trouble with, but I'll be rooting for San Jose tonight. The speed of the Avalanche is worse than the toughness of the Sharks as a problem for the Blubs.
Onward and upward!
Go Blubs!!

Blues in 7 as predicted. Flopper Bishop lets in the game winner off the back of his head. Does it get any better...
In all seriousness, Bishop was likely the best player on the ice all night. If it weren’t for him the Blues would have won that game 5-1. That game was far more lopsided that a 2-1 2OT victory would indicate. In short, they dominated 80% of that game.
Looking forward to the next series. Blues can beat either one of them, so I really don’t care who wins other than the fact that Denver is a shorter trip. And what fun it is to watch the games not having to worry about which Blues I hate and which ones don’t deserve to be there. Just watching a team that took too long to gel but managed to finally get it all together.

It's not hard, Andy......I hate exactly 1/4th of the team...so it makes it easy to enjoy the games.
Every time Perron touches the puck I want him to get knocked into next year, and every time Pietrangelo touches the puck in his own zone I look for a turnover....easy.
I don't count on Tarasenko, Steen, I'll throw in Gunnarson, or Allen (thankfully he's out) for anything.
If I wake up after the playoffs and find out all those guys are gone then I can say this is one of the best Blues teams ever assembled. Nothing has changed for me with the core group since day one.....none of them are worth the trouble.
When the Blues create havoc in the crease they win games....when they don't, they lose....it's not arguable. They are not a high scoring team and won't be. When they try to pass too much they don't score.....and they pass too much frequently. (last night they shot the puck if they touched it for the most part....thanks Berube I'm sure)
They will have trouble with Colorado's speed if they make it through......mark it down.

Benn was a beardedtaco hair away from winning it in 2OT about 3 minutes prior to the Blouse goal. Binnington was out of place a couple times and the Stars missed, like that wrap around. When the Stars has a chance they just missed the opportunity. Blouse had a couple also.
What’s a hit?? And a takeaway. So confusing.

I am not so sure if they would have had the right camera angle the game would not have ended on the shot that was under Binningtons leg. If that was not across the goal line it was closer than the hair you speak of

I would take the Blues since it's a home game....going with the odds. BUT, it'll take overtime to overcome Bishop....he's one of the best in the league without question and the Blues are not a good scoring team. They'll probably throw the kitchen sink at him, but it'll take some good goal-tending by Binnington and some luck to get through. I think you can count on Binnington though.....we'll see if they get the luck.
Don't give any goals away with your bet.....this will be a low scoring affair if the Blubs can pull it off.
Don't count on paying bills with your winnings, it'll be late before it's done and you won't get your money until tomorrow.

Binner outplayed " The greatest goalie in the world".
As for Jaime Benn, they are ready to hang him from the rafters in Dallas. bwaaaaaaaa
Any body see Sammy knock his head senseless? bwaaaaaaaaaaa
As for Dallas a hair away from winning, consider the fact if it weren't for a ref kicking the puck dead front and center on Blues goal the Stars would have NEVER scored a goal.
I mean, I'm sure it pains you greatly, but that game was a ass kicking. As was game 6.

I don't care about Perron dude......give it up. He's not part of this. He can sit for Fabbri and it'll be fine. He's not a team player.....ask any team he's played for. Move on.
Same with Pietrangelo.....sit him and play Bartusso...no loss.
You are watching the future of the Blues, not the past. Your guys have stunk the place up for the last 3-5 years. Steen, Tarasenko, and Allen need to go along with the posers Pietrangelo and Perron. Send them off with Burgland and Statsny.
Binnington, O'Reilly, Maroon, Thomas, Blaise, Schwartz, Schenn, Paryako....the new core of he Blues.

bwaaaaaaaaa.......now you've added like 4 new players to your core group from just a few weeks ago. At least now you know Thomas's name. Good forking grief. It's like flavor of the week with you. You really do belong in nashville with the rest of those hockey numbnutz.
I don't care what you think...........I just like to point out how dumb you are.
You seem to have love affairs with all these other teams and team players without knowing anything. Like Benn. They were ready to string him up in Dallas before the series even began and by now, they probably have. But here you were, telling us all how he was going to run over the Blues.
And Petro.......sit him? He is 3rd leading scorer of D men in playoffs having played 1 game less than the 2 who are in front of him. Sit him. Right. Who needs a ppg player. In the play offs. Hey I'm not even in favor of resigning him but at least I have a pair of eyes and a brain.
Since you hate 25% of the Blues, how bout you tell us all what percent of the Sharks you hate? bwaaaaaaaaaaaa I mean dude, this is so stupid it's perfect for you to explain.
Next time you run into your oakville buddy Maroon....be sure and tell him you hate 25% of the team........that's 1 of 4 still standing. I'm sure he will be impressed.

The Blubs will have a tough time winning this series, but they can. The Sharks are playing the season for Thornton, which will likely be his last. Pavelski and Kane will give the Blubs defense fits. They are not a one line team like Dallas basically was, so another defense pairing besides Parayko and Bouwmeester will have to step up....to use your worn out bullchit line. I don't know where that's going to come from yet, but it won't be Pietrangelo.....he's not quick enough for either Kane or Pavelski.
This is will be a harder series than Dallas was. The Stars are still rebuilding like the Blubs.....San Jose is not. They want a cup THIS year and have the pieces in place.
San Jose in 7.......possibly 6. The Blubs aren't there yet.

You have foamed at the mouth over this team, and had a crush on them ALL like they all gave you your first blow job at age 16. You like the team, all of them. You’ve bought into the damn Tom Stillman Jones Koolaid from The beginning. I honesty don’t have the time or the need to go back through the last 3-4 years of rambling about how you love this team and all they do. Those rosey blue glasses you wear and the bullshit breath you have from all the crap they fed you. All 4 damn lines you would put up against anyone.
Truth be told without Jordan Binnington this team was done months ago. He alone objected life into a team that was a sinking ship of chit. The kid pulled a bunch of broken pieces together. They don’t skate fast collectively. They don’t shoot well, they just sling chit around hoping for something good and it works for now. When you toss up 120 shots in a buggy and your opponent only throws 60, it’s the law of averages. The first few games in the playoffs they played like dick. No hitting. Shitty power plays. Being nice. Maybe they seem a little hungrier now that the favorites are all golfing. Who knows.
Enjoy the ride. It’s the rerun of the Cubs, just in hockey. Everyone how’s this is the year, and in the back of their minds know the honeymoon can end any day. I’m just not sold on the misfits you drank the koolaid on the last 2-3 years.
BTW. It’s Bwahaaaaahaahahahaaaaaaaahhaaha. That Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa makes it seem you are forking a sheep, stroking out on us, or busy looking for a wall to beat your helmet on. Either way.......we don’t care. Just try to keep up. It’s only been typed on here for 20 forking years. It doesn’t surprise me you are slow to the party.

When you toss up 120 shots in a buggy and your opponent only throws 60, it’s the law of averages. The first few games in the playoffs they played like dick. No hitting. Shitty power plays. Being nice. Maybe they seem a little hungrier now that the favorites are all golfing. Who knows.
Enjoy the ride. It’s the rerun of the Cubs, just in hockey. Everyone how’s this is the year, and in the back of their minds know the honeymoon can end any day. I’m just not sold on the misfits you drank the koolaid on the last 2-3 years.
BTW. It’s Bwahaaaaahaahahahaaaaaaaahhaaha. That Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa makes it seem you are forking a sheep, stroking out on us, or busy looking for a wall to beat your helmet on. Either way.......we don’t care. Just try to keep up. It’s only been typed on here for 20 forking years. It doesn’t surprise me you are slow to the party.
Back to you Forker..........I mean Boomer........uhhhhh Homer. .
You know what....I've changed my mind.
You do know hockey.
About as much as gomer.
bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Dawg, you know the old adage about finding yourself in hole and to stop digging? I can only plead with you to take heed. You are coming across more hockey illiterate with every keystroke. Maybe just slowly step away from the keyboard and take a break. Reading this sort of drivel is like watching Nancy Pelosi give a talk about a constitutional crisis. She knows she needs to make a point that is idiotic but has to find some way to word it that will allow her idiot base to embrace it. And since they are morons, she doesn't have to work too hard. You posts have become that way. Only the people that know nothing about hockey and sat behind view-blocking columns with you in the Savvis Center could possibly understand what you're even saying and agree with it. In short, this little diatribe above is about the silliest thing I've read since, well, since your previous post...
Binnington was a huge difference but there are about 50 other factors that played into the turnaround in January. Not the least of which is the entire coaching staff's approach, after Yeo was released. Armstrong, Stillman and most fans thought this team was significantly better than it's record indicated. Was it the coaching, was it the netminding, was it the attitude of the players? The reality is nobody really knows, even with the power of being internet know-it-all's we just don't really know. You and Scott choose to put 100% of it on a few players and have a lifelong hard-on for them. That's your prerogative. Hell, burn them in effigy and stomp their sweaters in the mud, if you like. I prefer to think it is much, much more complicated than that and choose to embrace the team and the success they're having. I don't need to play the blame game and I am not so simple minded to think a 25 year-old rookie goalie is the sole cause of the turnaround.
So for now, I'm just enjoying the ride and not really too worried about the slow start and difficulties earlier in the season. Yes, they still have some flaws and yes, a few of the players are not HOF material. But they seemed to have gelled and they are one of 4 teams left. Even the most critical skeptic has to be impressed with that. As long as Perron keeps being one of the best players on the team, they will be fine.
Here's another prediction. Next year's WCF will be the Blues and Avalanche, unless fate has them meeting earlier in the playoffs. They will be the two best teams in the Western Conference.
And here is my hope: That Joe Thorton has his leg broken in Game 1 and is out for the rest of the year. It would be sweet karma for all the players he has put on the DL with his dirty play (not to be confused with clean, hard-nosed play). Short of the broken leg, they need to pound on him relentlessly, like they did Byfuglien and Benn. He's 39 years old and likely getting damn tired by now. Multiple solid hits will only help wear him down. Rest assured, if he's not getting hit, he will be delivering them...
Lastly, the Blues need to stay out of the penalty box. San Jose is -3 when playing 5 on 5 and they have a damn good power play. Burns QB's that and he's the best in the NHL at it (and #2 is not even close). As much as I want to hate that guy, I can't. He is what every NHL fan should dream of having on their team and respect him when he's playing against you. Add to that the fact that he is a class act off the ice and you just have a hard time hating him. Maybe that will change by the end of this series...
That is all for now. As always, no charge for the brilliant analysis and commentary.

Berube, O'Reilly, Maroon, Schenn (when he feels like playing), Binnington, Schwartz (when he shoots the puck instead of being a playmaker), Parayko, and now Thomas (a master in the corners).......THAT'S the resurgence of the Note. There's an edge to this team now that has been lacking for years.....and I give most of the credit to that crazy ass Indian, who coaches like he played. He's got the team bought in to a grinding up and down approach to hockey that has always been the hallmark of the best Blues teams. They CAN wear a team down in a 7 game series, like we have seen. Benn was a shadow of himself by game 6 of the series with the Stars.....that's no small feat for the Blues....he's owned them. Not anymore.
Let me say, I HATE San Jose. I hate the city, I hate the name of the city, I hate sharks, I hate California, I hate that they beat the Blues in the last conference final we played against them, and I also hate Thornton.....but I like big, strong, mean, forwards.....he's Maroon on steroids. So I'm a fan.....I don't care if he's dirty....that's hockey. I hope the Blues pound him relentlessly.
San Jose is no joke. That is a battle tested team and many of them have been to the cup finals. They beat a REALLY good, fast, Colorado team that is ready for a cup run. It's this season or never for them.....the end of their chance for a cup without rebuilding. They are well aware of that. Remember the Blues/Colorado game with about 6 to go in the regular season? The Blues couldn't handle their speed. San Jose did. The Blues are not battle tested the same way....nobody has been there. They have a rookie goalie. They have trouble scoring. They give up many odd man rushes because they have to pinch the forwards to create chances.....that won't be good against the Sharks.
I'm bought in on the base of the Blues resurgence. I think they can win this series.....but not if they take a game off (and they are still prone to that)....it'll be that close if they do win.
I thought the Blues were still a couple years away from being a top contender....but the moon and the stars have lined up pretty well this playoff year....so why not? The teams I don't think the Blues can play against are gone....take advantage!!
I'm still afraid this will be 4-3 San Jose in 7.....but, like the Stars and Winnipeg series....I'm fine with being wrong.
Go Blubs!!!

Again........Andy.......I can't find many Blouse games in Texas and Oklahoma for some reason. The ones I do catch at home, I haven't been impressed with much outside of Binnington. There are a couple flashes but stick Jake Allen in the net and see where this team is with everyone else LS and you love.
They would be golfing in Florida or STL already.
Back to you Boomer. You guys are the smart ones. After all......yall wasted all season watching the chit show until Mid January. Of course its night and day difference with Binnington and a couple others, with the coaching change. The core dudes yall loved are still there and have been.

Pissed off. Dude. Stay off the crack. I’ve got 10
Pounds of morels in my freezer. 15 gallons of crappie fillets in my freezer. I spent 2 weeks in Africa killing stuff in April. I just spend 4 days in Mexico finishing up my Royal Slam on turkey. I watched my dad kill his first elk last fall. I spent all Winter duck hunting. Last spring in New Zealand. I’m heading to Spain in July. Alaska in September to moose hunt with dad again Italy in October. Sonora Mexico in December to mule deer hunt.
Bro......TRUST ME..........mad ain’t something I am. I’m blessed and wake up smiling every damn day. In fact. I get paid to do most of that crap because I work while I’m hunting. I’m mad because I gotta buy plane tickets. That’s about it.
Mad ain’t my issue. If I watched as much shitty forking hockey as you did before January 1st........I’d be a mad mofo also. It’s all coming together. I can’t watch hockey in other countries or travel down south. I’m sure as Hell glad I didn’t watch the Blouse until January. You like mediocrity. They got their chit together. I guess Jake Allen is to credit that to. Go be mad about whatever life has you down about. I laugh watching your blood pressure rise. I’ll laugh next week about it, and next month about it.
I’ll even toss in. DeJong dig just to get your head to pop off your shoulders. Night night princess. Just don’t kick the TV when Thorton beats down on your classy heartless blouse players.

If I had to put up $1,000 bucks on this series I'd be hard pressed to pick the Blues.
Predictions running at least 80/20 for Sharks, and I haven't even actually found the 20 part.
FOUR 30 goal scorers and then top 2 machines on the blue line and then depth that comes close to matching up with the Blues.
They can do this thing, but to do it they have to manage 4 games to go their way and not the Sharks way. Binner does his thing, Parayko/Jaybo same with their top line, play the boards early and often, close the gaps in the neutral zone, cyle it low, fore check, pound them down, and get their share of dirties.
Basically offense by defense from all 5 on the ice.
Somehow get it to a 2-2 series. A real shot at it starts there. Jones getting back to his REAL game would be huge for that.
Senko has played a hard fought 2 series. The points are not there like I'd like but the effort certainly has been. But he's been off. As complaints go, it's at least one that has a shot to turn around.
It's been a great run. Game 7 in the top 3 all time for me. As always..........Go Blue!!

Can we go back to 2 line offsides??
Because the way the Blues have to try to manufacture goals down low is likely to make this a blood bath of odd man rushes for the Sharks.
I think the offensive line pairings make alot of sense....but I'd like to see Bortuzzo with Pietrangelo and let Dunn and Edmundson pair up and take most of the penalty kill duties.
I realize it's dumb to second guess the Chief on the pairings, but Pietrangelo needs a partner who will at least hit someone while he's sliding around on the ice.
And let's face it, neither Pietrangelo nor Edmundson is going to keep that lunatic out of the crease, or make him pay for parking there.
I think this IS the Cup matchup for the Blues.....they win here and they will win the Cup. Tall order.

Berube, O'Reilly, Maroon, Schenn (when he feels like playing), Binnington, Schwartz (when he shoots the puck instead of being a playmaker), Parayko, and now Thomas (a master in the corners).......THAT'S the resurgence of the Note. There's an edge to this team now that has been lacking for years.....and I give most of the credit to that crazy ass Indian, who coaches like he played. He's got the team bought in to a grinding up and down approach to hockey that has always been the hallmark of the best Blues teams. They CAN wear a team down in a 7 game series, like we have seen. Benn was a shadow of himself by game 6 of the series with the Stars.....that's no small feat for the Blues....he's owned them. Not anymore.
Let me say, I HATE San Jose. I hate the city, I hate the name of the city, I hate sharks, I hate California, I hate that they beat the Blues in the last conference final we played against them, and I also hate Thornton.....but I like big, strong, mean, forwards.....he's Maroon on steroids. So I'm a fan.....I don't care if he's dirty....that's hockey. I hope the Blues pound him relentlessly.
San Jose is no joke. That is a battle tested team and many of them have been to the cup finals. They beat a REALLY good, fast, Colorado team that is ready for a cup run. It's this season or never for them.....the end of their chance for a cup without rebuilding. They are well aware of that. Remember the Blues/Colorado game with about 6 to go in the regular season? The Blues couldn't handle their speed. San Jose did. The Blues are not battle tested the same way....nobody has been there. They have a rookie goalie. They have trouble scoring. They give up many odd man rushes because they have to pinch the forwards to create chances.....that won't be good against the Sharks.
I'm bought in on the base of the Blues resurgence. I think they can win this series.....but not if they take a game off (and they are still prone to that)....it'll be that close if they do win.
I thought the Blues were still a couple years away from being a top contender....but the moon and the stars have lined up pretty well this playoff year....so why not? The teams I don't think the Blues can play against are gone....take advantage!!
I'm still afraid this will be 4-3 San Jose in 7.....but, like the Stars and Winnipeg series....I'm fine with being wrong.
Go Blubs!!!

P.S. I dream about a Blues/Bruins cup final again.....wow!!

Fact is who ever he has paired with Petro has had a hard time of it and struggled. Jbo, Eddy, Bortz, it doesn't matter. At least Eddies game has come around now last 2 outings.
I thought Bortz and Dunn were/are good together.
Eddie gets the short straw.

Well, the other thought might be to put Bartuzzo and Dunn on Thornton....since he's on their 3rd line.
Also....I think Thornton may not be what he has been in the past....he's -4 in the playoffs this year. Then again, that asshole is -30 in his playoff career. He's only playing about 14 minutes a game, but his only job is to create hell.
I really believe his mission in this series will be to fork with the rookie in goal.....and somebody needs to be there to put a stop to it. Binnington is not fooling anyone anymore.....his skill even caught the Stars of guard. I don't think that's gonna happen again.

Hard to tell if that was the Sharks best. Blues made it so easy on them they didn't really have to do much. But I don't think it was.
You don't want a chit game like that for game #1. You want to fork up a game 3 or 4 when you are tied up in the series or have a lead.
Got to get this series to 2-2 imo. Got to win two of next three. I suggest they start tonight.

If your jersey has a 91 on it you can start your barbecue fire with it. If it has a 57 on it you can start your fireplace fire with it. If it has a 27 on it you can start a house fire or possibly burn a local business to the ground.
I hope that helps.

Changed the pairings.....poor Jbo drew the short straw.....and then Chief had to also juggle the blue line ice time in the third to save the game. But that won't work the whole series. NO ONE has been able to cover for Petros D play well enough all season. Hoping Berube's "benching" hit home I think it's the first time I've ever seen that.
Not a great game but it was a great win. Every play off Blues team of the past since 2000 would have caved after they let them tie it up.
Can't believe you're not on the Bortz wagon after calling him out to replace Petro a few days ago. He had an amazing game across the board. Beating Thornton was the absolute best.
Need to keep pounding Karlsson....he's hurt and they need to pound him off the ice.
This team needs to shoot every chance they get. Jones has shown nothing so far.
Binner fairly pedestrian tonight....and is still so dang good.
It's all here for them if they want it. I still don't trust the hate for the Sharks is enough, show me.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

I've been a Bortuzzo fan since he got here, you know that. He steamrolled a few players last night, scored the winner, and was solid as hell. I was surprised to see he only had about 12 total minutes on the ice.....he was there for most of the good stuff so I had thought he played more. He HAS to play in this series, and should they advance, he'll really be needed against Boston. (Carolina has NO chance and shouldn't even be there)
I disagree about Binnington......I think his puck handling skills are off the chart, and make a huge difference. The Blues have a BIG goaltending advantage in this series....and they need to keep throwing pucks at Jones....because they don't have a lot of other advantages right now.
Karlsson is a bigger pouzzy than Perron.....hard to imagine, but it's plainly evident.
I wouldn't have thought that game would be enough to beat the Sharks....but there it is. I'll take the win and I think the Blues saw a few chinks in the armor that will bode well for them in the rest of the series.
I hope the Blues trade Tarasenko in the off season.....I'm done with that guy and he should have some good value.
How about the captain breaking his stick over the goalpost, damn near in Binnington's face, after the giveaway shorthanded goal. He's a forking embarrassment.

I am pretty sure Bortz really slammed Sorensen last night and impacted his game. Dudes on a mission.
Binner is and has been the man. No diss here. I just imagined how Allen would have been flopping like a fish on that late net front attack where he stood cool and tall. His puck handling has been huge for both series and his whole demeanor is unreal no matter what's happening in front of him.
Get it to 2-2, win another roadie and bring it home for game 6.
They have to skate hard 20/20/20 to do it.

San Jose plays great at home...the Blues have taken that advantage from them and need to hold it...this thing goes to 7 and the Blues are the Blubs again.

That is the THIRD GAME DECIDING official rulings in games THIS POST SEASON for the Sharks.
The Sharks should not even be here for not the officials screwing the Knights. Now this.
4 blind monkeys. Chit rules. This might be a deliberately tilted affair.Dead serious. THREE forking calls.
And Forking Petro and his weak minded lazy play. Twice. Not just cuzz Couture says so, but so did Chief. AND by icing the puck it kept Parayko off the ice, they guy who contained Couture all night long.

ummmmmm............since January dude.
And if your still in the confessional let's put the "tough and character" problem to bed too.
All of this since January, while you were supposedly watching.
Best moment of the night.....Steen putting Burns on his azz and Burns staring at the puck in the net 2 feet away while down on the ice.
Blues should be up 3-1 not sure they can win 5 of 7. Schenn and O'reilly have to kick in and get some points and Dunn needs to get back on the ice.
Binner got better and better as each of the two prior series went on. Can he do the same here?
And again, pound that pr1ck EK to sand. Sharks have little to turn to if he's off the ice.
2 of 3 now wins this thing. Can't ask for more than that against the high powered Sharks after the giveaway of game 3.

Don't get carried away Homer.....the Blues have 4 lines that you can't tell the difference in. That wears down the other team's D. They still don't have a single line that could be the top line on any team in hockey.
I agree that's not their way.....but we're not watching any Hall of Famers here.
I'm still afraid this will be Sharks in 7. I hope not....but when the Sharks decide to play, the Blues don't have much of an answer, short of Binnington. Or maybe it's still when the Blues just quit. While you're busy giving them game 3, let's not forget that they gave up the tying goal with a minute to play.....and they were hopeless for the last 5 minutes of that one. The Blues lost game 3 right there.....end of story. But again, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt right now.
We'll see.

San Jose should not even be here but for the refs in Vegas game 7. Then the give away in game 3 here. Truly pathetic and embarrassing for the league and the Sharks who have 1 legitimate win in 4 games yet sit 2-2.
As for game 3, I don't want to hear how it "would have" turned out with this Blues team. And last I checked, they did NOT lose the game in the third dude, they lost the lead. As they have countless times in these playoffs only to come back. Today could have been a throw away game but now it's not.
I know exactly what they are up against. I know exactly what they have to do. But quit ain't a part of them gomer, and even though you don't know it and would not admit it anyway that's why you have to give them the benefit of your own doubt.
Dunn's absence is no small matter on either end of the ice. I hope Borts can get some ice time with Karlsson.
Today should 100% be the Sharks game. Blues are up against it.
Fork the Sharts. Go Blue!

The Blouse in game 3 missed several chances at an empty net goal, iced the puck several times, and gave up the goal with a minute to play........because they couldn’t stop icing the puck or drain one into an empty net.
Sure the refs blew it bigger than chit in OT, but it should have never been in OT to begin with.

It's the Refs....IT'S THE REFS!!! That's a bunch of silly bullchit. If I had my way there would be NO video reviews. The games, in every league, were just fine without it. now every time a call doesn't go the homers way we have to listen to a bunch of whiney ass crap.
Don't put yourself in a position to lose on a bad call and you don;t have to worry about it. Geez.....I feel like I'm talking to my teenage kids.

Welp, I step away for a few days and there are 4 or 5 pages of posts. No way I'm going back to read them all, mostly because I could probably guess what they all say and be 95% correct.
I'll bring you up to date with my take to date, since I know all of you have been wondering what the proper take should be on these games.
Game #3 - Refs blew a call, like they do frequently in the NHL. Get over it. The game was lost when the Blues turtle'd and went into a shell in the last 5 mins. And if you want to assign blame (I don't), pin it on Pietrangelo for panicking under pressure and icing the puck.
Game #4 - A character win but still let their foot off the gas and tried to coast to a win. That game could have easily gone either way.
Game #5 - Nothing more to say that hasn't been said. Total domination that may have demoralized the Sharks enough to make game #6 an easy win, if the Blues play like they want it. Most impressive was the forechecking and the puck possession in the offensive zone. Also impressed with their discipline when the Sharks went dirty. They didn't back down but also didn't let themselves get goaded into dumb penalties. Maroon has that down to an art...
Looking forward to game #6 tomorrow night! As stated above, if the Blues play their game and keep their foot on the gas, they should put this to bed in 6. Rest assured, the Sharks are going to come out flying. I don't see them laying down until they get down by a goal or two.
MVP of this series is the Blues coaching staff. They have kept this group of players focused and made adjustments for each game that were very well thought out. It is pretty clear they put together a plan for the defense, neutral zone, offense and even the transition game. I am seeing far less of the attempted finesse passes that lead to turnovers and more of the fundamental play that is needed in playoff hockey. Most importantly, they are playing down low more, in the offensive zone. Every single one of Schwartz's goals was from in front of the net. Which is sort of ironic because that is where Pavelski has made a living and what I feared in this series.
They need to close this thing out tomorrow night. I don't see the Sharks getting their arses handed to them in their own building two games in a row...
Go Blues!!

Sorry, I should have known that was going to go over your head.
The point on hits was just for you Gomer. While the Blues were out hit, they literally clobbered the Sharks into the trainers room. A point I made repeatedly to you over the season , yet here you are, the guy who said all season they aren't tough enough, they aren't mean enough and they have no character is now telling me how the series is over after that beat down.
Oh, and they were out hit because the sharks didn't have the puck long enough to get hit more than that. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Hey, your welcome to come on the bandwagon....I can't keep track of all the jump offs.......but that doesn't mean all the dumb chit stuff you said all season gets a pass.

Like every championship team I've ever pulled for, it takes the stars, the moon and each and every player to make magic.
None are perfect, some are very special, but it's the whole team (perhaps save one)that literally is called upon at one time or another to win a championship. There's no losers here.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

How about this... I am going to be in Boston next Tuesday and Wed. for work. I may just have to see what a single seat will cost for game #2. My guess is less than in STL. The Boston folks have been a little spoiled the last few years, so maybe they will be reasonable. They are likely to be stupid expensive here in STL due to the 50 year drought...
I have to admit, it gave me great pleasure to watch Thorton lose. I have hated that SOB since the first game I saw him play. He was not "hard-nosed" or "A character guy" or even "chippy". He was a dirty player that injured many players intentionally. A few Blues have been on that list. Ask David Perron. It was the beginning of his concussion issues in 2010. Thorton was suspended for 2 games (and lost $77K of salary). Of course there have been several others that were injured by his cheap and dirty play. Fork that arsehole. I hope the forker has a long and suffering retirement...
As for the Boston series, it is really quite simple. If they play their game, work hard every shift and say disciplined, they can win this thing. If they get away form their game or take periods off, they will get smoked. And as important as anything will be the discipline. Taking stupid penalties or getting goaded into penalties by guys like Marchand will cost them dearly.
Finally, the media will try to hype the Backes angle but it really isn't that significant. He may have a good game and may even get a few points but he is not a key to the Bruins success. Hell, he has been a healthy scratch for the Bruin in previous games. But they'll need something to write about and there are enough simpletons to soak that drivel up. Personally, I would like to see him do what he did for the Blues every year he was in the playoffs and disappear...
Go Blues!!

Pretty accurate analysis. I'd say there is a good chance this could go 7 games. I think the Blues have more overall depth, in rolling 4 lines but the Bruins #1 line is deadly, if they get rolling. Hope the Blues can lock 'em down or at least limit the damage.
I assume Chara is going to be playing but will he be 100%? That would be a huge break if he were not at full speed.

Reading up on the series and various fan boards seems clear Blues are favored by 70% of North America fans while the experts are giving the Bruins the edge.
It's Marchand, Rask, Chara, Bergeron, Rask, Krejci.........all the marquee lights a team could want against a team with right now zero for sure HOF'ers. No one is dissing the Blues, but Boston just too good for any other ending.
Predicted 3rd in division pre and mid season. I haven't predicted a series yet. Superstitious mofo I am I will not do that now. I will however get Gomer all worked up because this has been one hell of a ride so far by players that have truly come together and worked their butts off to get here, some turning their careers upside down, and for that they deserve to be 1 of 2 still yet standing. Some puck luck for sure, but every winner has that.
Saint Louis Blues are Western Champs.
Let me say fork Boston. There is zero question as to how good they are with those names on their roster, and rightly so, and straight up it's the Blues who do indeed need to find the answers. But fork them. Fork their city, fork Backes, Marchand and hell fork them all. And fork most all the East coast press who would step on their own dicks to praise them carte blanche.
Will end by saying Boston does have the roster and skill and blah blah but it's the Blues who have the story lines. From Chief coming on board and somehow turning the team around to Binners amazing performance since January to going last to first in the league as a whole team to a home town kid scoring a game 7 dbl OT winning goal to overcoming a horrible game deciding non call and clicking off 3 in a row to get here..... None of it shows up on any stat sheet and most of it is nearly unexplicable..... and whether it is enough to carry them through one more MONSTER challenge remains to be seen but one thing I do know is no way do I count this team out to bring home the Gloria.
Is it Monday yet?

Back to hockey.
For the Blues to compete, these might be the big hurdles:
1)Special teams HAS to get better, the two teams are presently too far apart on this and it's the Blues who need to close the gap. This includes continuing to stay out of the box and not fall for Marchands crap.
2)Goal tending.... Binner likely has to match Rask, another tall mountain to climb.
3)Bottom six will likely need to out play their bottom 6.
Bubba...do you concur?

I don't think you can get #1.....just not enough firepower.
I think you can get #2 and #3........let's see if it's enough.
I have been waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I think Binnington is the real deal. I think it's more likely that Rask melts down.....he's prone to it.

On #1, I'd take a great PK effort and then do best to stay out of the box and I'd be happy. Bruins are like 30%+ PP scoring there.
On #2 I did find an interesting stat......in these play offs Rask is playing near his season average in SP 5/5. He has been spectacular on the PP.
ST's play is no joke in hockey but for me it's the 5/5 play that, in a seven game series, will be the key.
I'm scratching for anything I can find to get them the Cup.
But the truth is, the Blues are going to have to upset Boston to do this thing.

And once again, the Blues really need to get the series to 2-2.
The reason is simple, same as it was for all the series, first.... the Blues take time to establish their game and second.... this team and Binner has gotten better and better as each series has progressed:
Game 5s (3 games) he has a 1.34 GAA and a 0.949 SP
Game 6s (3 games) he has a 1.33 GAA and a 0.942 SP
Game 7 (1 game) he has a 0.70 GAA and a 0.967 SP
Overall in Games 5-7 (7 games) he has a 1.22 GAA and a 0.949 SP
Blues must find a way to stay in it early on. Winning 2 of first 4 would be fantastic to improve their chances as they sit right now.

2. If that's all the Bruins got against that chit show of a game by the Blues.....then it's gonna go 7.
Still......the Blubs looked outgunned, and they aren't going to push that team around like they did Dallas and San Jose.

I'm getting a kick out of all the pundits claiming that it's over if the Blubs go down 2-0 in the series. That's just a crock of horsechit. 50-11 teams have come back from 2-0 in a best of 7 series....it used to be pretty standard when home ice meant something.
I don't think they can go down 3-1 and they certainly don't want to find themselves down 3-0.....but 2-0 is not that big of a hill when the next 3 of 5 are at home.
Still.....the Blubs need to at least make a statement tonight that they don't suck as bad as they looked Sunday. Not going to be easy.....they are playing a team that plays their exact same game.....only better.
I watched game 1 again last night.....and I am gonna watch close tonight....but I think they found a chink in Binnington's armor too, which is why he never got/looked comfortable. (I will "laststandicate" after tonight's game if I see more of it) Wouldn't be unheard of since they know him well after he spent a year in their organization.

I am old enough that I actually remember watching the Blues on a black and white TV as they lost to Montreal and then to Boston in the cup finals from 68-70.....4-0 in each series.
I KNOW firsthand that this is the first cup final game they have ever won.
I know the energy Saturday at Enterprise center will be off the charts.
I am old school hockey.....the Blues own home ice advantage now....and that may not mean chit anymore.....but the doubt now belongs to Boston.....and that's HUGE.

Let's see if they can keep it.....they have the ability, but they've never done it before.
Boston has.....9 of them to be exact. (1 Blue has and he's useless in this series)

Actually I do. Jim Martin helped him get that Chessie - Jim's wife (the second one) went to church with a woman who went to Mexico on a mission trip. She got stung by a mosquito in a "not so pleasant area" and ended up at a medical tent in the village they were staying at.
The cooch doctor there had a brother who had a gambling problem. He knew a another guy he met at the casino and that was him.

Nothing at all wrong with getting paid to drink and fish. I do it all the time at work.......just not a Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoff's when the Blouse are in it. Might be another 50 years before it happens again.

So now I ask you Jesus, can you now bring all Blues fans joyously together??
Yes Jesus, beyond all miracles above, this one must include Gomer.

Whelp.... time for some laststandpontificating.
Sorry boys. bwaaaaaaaaa
As I see it after two games, and if I HAD to say how/what I see coming it's pretty dang close.
But I am afraid it's the Bruins who still hold the edge. Injuries go to Bruins, POTENTIAL scoring goes to Bruins and the experience factor will get bigger and bigger as the series continues. I expect to see Bostons best effort tonight and i hope the Blues can match it.
The Blues simply cannot afford any more game #1 type energy. I don't expect that even though there is still 5 games remaining, but they may have another stinker in them.
Secondly and more notably, I think this series will now be up to Jordan Binnington. It took OT to beat the Bruins after dominating them, but neither of their goals would have been scored on Binner if he is playing his best, as he did manage to do after the first period.
Love everything about this kid. It's been an unreal experience rooting for him as he has led this team from the box. Can't ask for more from him but I do know he is asking for more of himself for fact.
Get this series to 2-2. That's trick #1. If they get it to 2-2, I think the edge, the psychology, all of it, will be truly even. Binner will have to compensate for some of the advantages that go to Boston. Not afraid of that, but I think it's fact and in many ways it is totally appropriate to have the pressure and expectations go to the kid that has brung us here and stunned the world of hockey in the process.
It's been an unreal 5 months of hockey. 2 more weeks seems like an eternity.
Go Blue...Go Binner!!

Oh.....so Binnington is the difference, huh? I'll be damned.
I don't agree.
I think Binnington will be who he is....which is plenty good enough and ONE of the main reasons they are here.....but Berube will be the true difference in this series....and the Blubs will be the Blubs no more!

Well it's a pot shot for both of us dude. I'm not going to argue what Chief means to this team. Pretty sure I told you about it in January. bwaaaaaaaaa
Whether it's Binner or Berube or who ever we want to say is the "difference"....it takes all 21 to get this done and it takes all 21 to do their jobs at their best to allow one or two to be the difference.
I'm guessing to win the Cup, Binner will have to stand on his head more than once.

Are you a moron or just plain stupid?
I mean wtf dude. I pointed out how it's up to him. I pointed out his 2 goals the other night was weak followed by good.
That he needed to do better and he would do what he could with that.
You've been wrong a thousand times over on this team the whole forking year including the playoffs and now you come up with yet another dumb ass comment to try to get the last 2 or 3 games right.........you can have it dude.....any one with a brain saw it all....but I know....that leaves you in the dark.

Good to see he knew how to put his mask back on. Blouse better dig deep if they plan to win this one. Looks like I better go find a $125 bottle of good bourbon in my bunker and dig out 5 cigars to send to Maine. I see a loss coming for my bet. Cost me the same in 2006 when the Redbirds lost to BOston.

Hard to imagine supposed Blues fans being so gleeful about a loss and potentially not winning the Cup. But I guess that what you get when you've put all your eggs in the I-hate-half-of-this-team basket and would rather they lose, so you can say I-told-you-so than seeing a Cup hoisted. Glad I'm not that sort of fan...
Again, just enjoying the run. Binnington's performance was not stellar but was far from the reason they lost that game. My guess is he'll perform just fine in Game #4, so long as the team in front of him plays a more solid game. Contrary to what I've heard a few of the talking heads say, this game tonight is do-or-die. If they go down 3-1 against Boston, they're chances of winning three in a row are as close to nonexistent as you can get without being nonexistent. If they win tonight, they're still underdogs but will have a reasonable chance of pulling it off.
Boston is a damn good team and has some Cup experience. It shows. More importantly, the Blues do not have any Cup experience and it really showed in game #3. The hype was over the top and they simply deflated when Boston scored the first goal. That was the direct result of letting the situation get to them. Almost immediately, the forecheck was nonexistent, the gap closures lessened and Boston was able to skate into the offensive zone and the whole team was generally playing on their heels. Part of being human I guess. Or as our resident Blues haters would say, they are gutless and have no heart/character. Either way, they need to pour it on for 60 mins tonight. Otherwise a few of our resident posters will get their way and be able to say I-told-you-so!!
Go Blues!!

Dunn coming back was big. Too bad Thomas isn’t healthy. Might come

3/16.....that's my limit. I can't, in good conscience, go any lower. 3/16 of that team can kiss my ass. They laid down for years until Berube showed up and put their careers on the line.
It's more like 1/4, but I'll give LS 1/16 for sticking with them.
Just FYI - I'll be switching to the decimal system for the remaining playoff games.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

Well, well, well... What a somber day for the I-hate-a-percentage-of-the-team fans. Looks like a full team effort brought home a W and got them right back in this thing. That's right, every single player. So, step back from the ledge and calm down. It will all be OK, even if they win the Cup.
Whew, must be a lot of work keeping track of who to hate and who to watch with some measure of enjoyment. Not sure I could handle those ups and downs. How terrible it must be to see one of the undeserving's make a play or GASP!!, score a goal. That must be more deflating than watching the Blues give up a SHG. What's a Blues hater to do with that? How tormenting...
Chara may not be able to go for them in Game 5. That would be good thing for the Blues but I'm not so sure it is a game changer, unless the Bruins allow it be. The Blues are still the underdogs, to be sure but I would not rule out another win in Beantown. At this point anything is possible...

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

Actually, with Grzelcyk and Chara (broken jaw confirmed) probably out, and Miller questionable, it's a REALLY big deal. Losing half your defense corps is a possible coffin nail for any team. I don't know how deep they are back there, but it's likely not enough if those players can't go.
Unless they come back, I doubt anyone makes the Blues the underdog......they were favorites in Vegas for game 4....it will be worse for game 5.
The issue will be whether the new Blues show up or if the Blubs make an appearance. The series, if those injuries hold, is theirs to lose. (they still aren't much of a force if they don't score first and get the momentum.....Perron, etc. tend to fall off the page and try to fight the opposing goalie....the safest bet
)
BTW - it's pretty easy to keep track of the 16.473% of the team I can't stand.

Hard to imagine supposed Blues fans being so gleeful about a loss and potentially not winning the Cup. But I guess that what you get when you've put all your eggs in the I-hate-half-of-this-team basket and would rather they lose, so you can say I-told-you-so than seeing a Cup hoisted. Glad I'm not that sort of fan...
Go Blues!!
Andy.........dude.............do You believe everything your read on the internet. LS has been trolled most of the season........and now you. You’re smarter than that. A homer fan turned off the TV after it was a 4 goal lead. Even with an abortion of a game on the TV, I know the people you speak of had the game on until the last horn. Even when Jake Allen’s dumbass came in, the game stayed on.
You can hate players on a team and still want the team to win. I hated Izzy
With The Cardinals but sure as fork wouldn’t give up a WS field because I’d him. Dot, John Jay. Edwin Jackson......all on the 2011 WS title team.......still hate them. Still got rings.
Trolled?
You mean....everything he said that's dead wrong was Trolling?
bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
As classic as that excuse is, I believe good old fashioned dumb ass is what it's called.
You twins twins wouldn't admit to being wrong if your life depended on it.
Oh, aside from those "poles". You slipped and fessed up good there, I was proud of you dawg.
bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Go find where i said I hate 3/16 of this team or 1/4 or 1/2...............and while your at it Grandpa, find where i said I don’t want them to win the cup or want them to fail.
I’ll wait. Go dig through all 50 plus pages. Have someone read the confusing words to you if need be. You’ve been trolled all damn season, but still don’t realize it. Just like your boy DeJong........you struggle with the curve balls thrown your direction.
ummmmm....Mr Mellow.....I don't know what the fork you are talking about.
Trolling....bwaaaaaaaaaa....maybe you should read the 50 pages.
Me, I'm happy.
Way to crawfish and not find anything about hate for the whole damn team or i want them to lose the cup.

I suspect the Bruins will do like San Jose and run someone out on the ice that isn't even close to 100%. They'll figure an experienced veteran at 60% - 70% is better than an inexperienced youngn'. That is almost always a mistake in my book. It would be especially bad if that player were 42 years old and risking permanent damage. Not the ideal place for a young player to be tested but sometimes they rise to the occasion. Let's hope they run one or more of the injured out there, now that we have a team that knows how to attack and exploit weakness. Rattling an injured Chara a few times may prove to be just what it takes to keep him from being effective. You can bet your arse he will be given a solid check anytime they can, if he plays.
Keys to game five are pretty much the same as every game in this series with an emphasis on staying out of the penalty box. I have to wonder if there has been any talk amongst the Blues staff about declining penalties on the Bruins...
By the way, the Vegas odds have little to do with who anyone thinks is going to win, in these games. They are simply to influence the betting. Vegas has some exposure if the Blues win and they're trying to mitigate that exposure. Giving a little nudge to the Boston bettors does just that.
How bout that dude that put down $400, when they were 250-1 to win the cup. I hope he was smart enough to hedge that bet and make himself at least $25K or more (he has about $50K guaranteed, if he wants to go that route). Then again, if he was the type to lay down $400 clams on 250-1 odds, he's likely not going to be the type to hedge his bets...

If half the regular corps of defense can't go for the Bruins then the Blues become the favorite......simple as that. In light of how they beat down Dallas and Sam Jose....this is starting to look familiar. This is no longer an anomaly....it's what they do.
Cassidy talking about going with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen if his group of 3 can't play......I doubt he'd carry through and it's likely just playoff bluster.....but PLEASE do.

I did not understand pulling Bortz in game 4. But they won and he is rested now. This is the Blues best D for game 5.
Patterns a funny thing. Blues are 6-1 for games 5,6,7 so far. Binner has been very good along those lines.
But this Boston series Blues have stunk it up in games 1 and 3 and now they are looking at 5. Blues are 0-2 with tonights whistle blowing refs too.
Gimme another game 4. Clean and hard. Pound that D. Gimme Binners best game of the whole play offs.

Thank you Binner. Thank you thank you thank you.
Ties rookie record for play off wins.
Boston threw the sink at them in the first, this team did not buckle a wit.
Sanford to O'Reilly. Oh my. How sweet was that?
The refs taketh, the refs giveth. Love Acciari's acting job on the ice.
And Cassidy....man he shot up higher than DeBoer on top the little whiny biatch list. I believe he wants like 5 guys reviewed and suspended.
What's funny as chit is it's this Blues team that so closely resembles the 2011 Bruins....when anything and everything was given and taken on their way to the Cup.
This series is far from over boys and girls. The incompetent nhl will make sure there will be plenty of make up roses for the Bruins in game 6.
But the 5,6,7 Binner of old was on his game 5 usual with last nights performance.

I have no problem with Perron's goal....and I have always said he has some of the best hands in hockey. Getting his own rebound was no exception.....he's up there with O'Reilly as a stick and puck guy. But he better have scored after taking the usual cheap penalty he always manages to take.
Look, the guy is skilled, no doubt, but he's not a team guy and he can move the fork on after this year.....the same as he has his whole career. No team has ever missed him and the Blues will be no exception.
I don't give a rats arse about David Perron.....he's a puzzzzzzy....always will be. A more skilled Jimmy Campbell covers it for him.
Go Blues!!!

It ain't over, til it's over, Yogi. There's something some Golden State fans should have taken heed of last night. Final night in their home court, before they move to a new building, and instead of getting fired up when the Raps went up by 14.... they left early. Hockey fans would have been having a big after-party, and taking every bit of memorabilia with them, before they left!
Palm Springs has been narrowed down to one of two choices as a hockey farm team, for the new Seattle franchise. I imagine they will find a large contingent of paying fans wintering there, and these pro players, are looking for warmer places to live, when they sign their contracts now. Just ask Kawhi Leonard. He hates us!

I'm telling you....they can't believe what is happening. They sit there and diss the Blues by the hour and then in same breath beg, steal and crawl to find every way to get suspensions and work the league for more 5 on 4 ice time to find a way to win. 3 to 2 penalty advantage is not quite enough right now for this great hockey team.
And when I say "they", it's fans, players and coach.
David Backes can go fork himself forever. Not sure what happened to him, but pretty sure he has been Cassidyfied in bean town.
I'm guessing Chief will drop Blais down to the 4th and bring in Fabbri.
But I'd love to see MacMac to the 4th and unleashed on some of these b1tches.... maybe Cassidy would then chit in his pants at the presser.
Expect Boston to get results with all their whining. Game #6 will be as slanted as it comes and very tough for the Blues.

Good afternoon…
The Blues lead the Bruins 3-2 in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final.
Can’t wait for Game 6 on Sunday night. Can the Blues get it done?
One win away.
But I have another assignment right now:
It’s time for some public service.
The coach of the Bruins , Bruce Cassidy, lost his mind and turned himself into a mewling male cat by blaming his team’s 2-1 loss to the visiting St. Louis Blues
Just trying to help out here, OK?
Here’s what Coach Cassidy meant to say after his team’s 2-1 home loss at TD Garden.
(The TD must stand for “tear drops.”)
Maybe this is what he forgot to say — just an oversight — about the best-of-seven series, which the Blues lead 3-2.
And this is what Cassidy should have said instead of mewling and bawling like a pee baby while going into the full-meltdown mode in blaming the officials for a non-call instead of holding himself, his staff and his team accountable.
1. We Bruins scored one goal in 60 minutes on their home ice. One.
2. This game didn’t come down to one call, or non-call, because we directed 65 shots at the Blues’ net, and put 39 shots on goal, and we managed one score.
3. We the Broons didn’t lose this game because of officiating. We lost this critical Game 5 because we peppered St. Louis goaltender Jordan Binnington with 17 first-period shots on goal, and we couldn’t crack him. We lost because we should have had at least a two-goal lead after 20 minutes, but Binnington denied us repeatedly and was phenomenal for the Blues.
4. We the big, badass Boston Broons had 11 shots on Binnington from the high-danger areas, the slot and the crease, and he stopped all 11.
5. We the Bruins thought we had a big edge in goal because of Tuukka Rask but that isn’t true. At least not to this point of the series. At 5-on-5, Binnington has a .936 save percentage which is much better than our guy’s .907. At even strength, it’s Binnington with a .938 save percentage compared to our guy’s .904.
6. Hell, in the three games played in our building Binnington has a .947 save percentage at 5-on-5 including a huge .857 save rate on high danger chances. And our guy, in the three home games, has a 5-on-5 save percentage of .913 — which includes a poor high-danger save percentage of .692.
7. Honestly, we the Bruins thought we’d broken Binnington in Game 3. The Blues pulled him from the game, right? We finally exposed the rookie and he couldn’t handle the pressure. We cracked him like a lobster claw. But I have to say, the kid has been amazing in the last two games, stopping 59 of 62 shots for a .952 save percentage to lead the Blues to two straight wins.
8. I tell you what, as coach of the Bruins, I will admit that their rookie goalie has frustrated us. That’s why our ticked-off guys have resorted to slashing and spearing him, sitting on him, shoving him into the net after he makes a save … hell, we slashed the stick out of his hand — we got away with a penalty there — and the kid still made a helluva save with no stick. Maybe we have to take a taser out there for Game 6.
9. As coach of the Bruins, let me say that I’ve embarrassed myself and our supposedly tough-guy town by wailing and whimpering so much. It’s ridiculous to point the finger at the officials for a non-call when they gave us three power plays … the Blues had only one power play.
10. Come to think of it, we’ve had five power plays in the last two games … the Blues have had only four. So why am I, the Bruins coach, accusing Blues coach Craig Berube of influencing the officials? If he was influencing the officials, then wouldn’t the Blues have more power plays?
11. Oh, and we’re 0-for-5 on the power play in the last two games … both losses … and we’re in trouble without power-play goals. Can I blame the officials for our badass power play going 0 for 5? Probably not.
12. I guess I should bring up how we, the big-boy Bruins scored our first goal in a Game 1 victory because four on-ice officials missed seeing that we had too many men on the ice and should have been called for a penalty?
13. Did I mention that the Blues kicked our asses in faceoffs in Game 5?
14. And as Coach Cassidy, in charge, I should sack up and acknowledge that Berube and his team had something much worse and unfair happen to them in Game 3 of the San Jose series … that hand-pass debacle. They never yowled, they never sobbed. They went out won the next three games.
15. Berube sure handled that a helluva lot better than I’m dealing with this. He showed 100 percent toughness. And I’m up here wimping out by making excuses and bellyaching.
16. By the way, if you see Berube coming in here, let me know … so I can run … quickly run.
17. As coach of the big, badass Whitey Bulger-town Bruins I have to man up and admit that our top line of big-badass Bruins has vanished from the series. Can you believe these guys? The “Perfect Line.” Really? In five games Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak have NO goals and NO assists at even strength? They’ve combined to play around 197 minutes at even strength this series, and don’t have a single even-strength point. This young guy for the Blues, Zach Sanford, didn’t play in the first two games of the series and he already has three points more than our three big-badass-Bruin No. 1 liners. It’s embarrassing.
18. Marchand, Bergeron and “Pasta” are collectively minus 11 in this series at even strength. Minus bleeping 11. And I’m ripping officials? I’m trying to play this off on the officials? Disgraceful.
19. The Blues best players have played like their best players. And Ryan O’Reilly is coming on like a locomotive. Our best players have been our worst players. That’s a significant reason why we’ve lost two in a row, three out of the last four, and face elimination in Game 6.
20. The Blues have pounded us physically in this series, and it’s really taking a toll. We’re showing our fatigue. And we’re losing the 5-on-5 game. The Blues have outscored us 10-7 at 5-on-5. They have nine scoring-chance goals at 5-on-5 and we have only five. At even strength St. Louis has outscored us 12-9. The Blues are playing their style of game and imposing it on us. That’s the truth.
21. OK, about the non-call that led to David Perron’s goal and left me steaming and making a damned fool of myself in the media room following Game 5.
I have a few notes to share…
* We had two chances to clear the puck before all of this unfolded and failed to do so.
* A couple of seconds after their guy Tyler Bozak slew-footed Noel Acciari, we got away with one … our man Brandon Carlo dragged Ryan O’Reilly down from behind. No call. O’Reilly got the puck over to Perron.
* Our guys reacted to the non-call by shutting down. They stopped playing. They were waiting for a penalty call that didn’t come. That’s weak. You have to keep playing! You can’t stop moving to wait for a whistle! I’ve failed as a coach.
* Perron got the puck on the right side and we had three guys over there. They just watched him. Three guys, mesmerized … never attempted to get in his way, put a body on him. Perron just skated closer and closer to the goal…our three guys were spectators, except for blocking one pass — which went right back to Perron. And then … our three guys didn’t move. No wonder Perron scored.
22. Hey, the Blues were up 2-0 but we still had plenty of time left in the third period. Just about 10 minutes. Plenty of time to score two goals and tie it up. But we failed.
23. Look, NHL officiating is inconsistent and confusing and there’s no rhyme or reason for many calls. Every coach in this league could go off on incompetent officiating after every game played in this league — like, forever — and it won’t change. So why am I … the coach of the big-badass Wahlberg-town Bruins sitting here and carrying on like a rabid hyena? This crap happens in every game. As Berube says — you just have to stay focused, stay above it, keep fighting, keep pushing.
24. We big-badass Bruins have lost two games in a row at the TD Garden, scoring three goals in 120 minutes. That’s our fault. Totally.
25. Finally, I’d like to thank the cheerleading squads from NBC, the NBC Sports Network, the NHL Network, ESPN … the Boston Bruins thank you for your unconditional support as we try to overcome the evil St. Louis Blues. We must join forces to take down that team from the Midwest. Ugh.
25a. Finally … what happened? Instead of me sitting here and ducking the truth, aren’t we supposed to be ordering the duck boats for the parade?

From the Boston Globe, after game 5:
"...Binnington, who wasn’t spectacular or even all that solid, but just sort of there, hovering in the way of the Bruins’ aspirations..."
It doesn't matter the sport in that town, these people are as forked up as they come.

It ain't over, til it's over, Yogi. There's something some Golden State fans should have taken heed of last night. Final night in their home court, before they move to a new building, and instead of getting fired up when the Raps went up by 14.... they left early. Hockey fans would have been having a big after-party, and taking every bit of memorabilia with them, before they left!
Palm Springs has been narrowed down to one of two choices as a hockey farm team, for the new Seattle franchise. I imagine they will find a large contingent of paying fans wintering there, and these pro players, are looking for warmer places to live, when they sign their contracts now. Just ask Kawhi Leonard. He hates us!
Palm Springs Hockey.
Good forking grief.
I know, right? There are 5 teams within a 7 hour drive, and there are a couple different groups ready to take on construction. Still....the last thing I was expecting when we moved there. The other potential city is Boise. Boise, just happens to be home to many of our neighbors.

Let's get something straight as we head toward a possible cup for the Blues.
I know I'm going to hear this crap more than I do now, and it's going to aggravate me even more than it does now. So, let me get this out now, to no one specifically.....
1. This is NOT your team. You don't own it, you don't play on it, and nobody who is part of the team knows who the hell you are. So stop saying "we", and "us", as in......"we're going to kick some ass tonight".....or, "no way the Bruins can beat us". Just shut the fork up. It's the Blues.....THAT'S the team......there is no "we" or "us" in the team name.
2. STOP referring to players by the nicknames their teammates have given them. You are NOT on the team. You don't even know the person you are using a nickname for.....you're possibly insane, or have stalker tendencies.....forking stop it.
When I was teaching my kids about hockey, so we could watch it together, there was never a single time when these words were uttered....."pay attention kids, we're playing really well right now and if we can get a few more goals, especially with the way Flipper is playing, we can win this thing". YOU DON'T DO THAT BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU A FORKING IDIOT!!!!!!!!!
Carry on.
Go Blues!!!

So Barbashev is out. Since he's such a good penalty killer, I'm hoping they come up with a good replacement, who can do the same.
As for all the sportswriters, here's what's really happening in officiating.

Common ground here, Lipper.
I have enjoyed Bruins hockey over the years.....especially my very early years as a hockey fan. Esposito, Cheevers, Sanders, Orr, blah, blah. Of the original 6 I suppose they have been my favorite.
Not anymore. These whiny ass forkers are on my last nerve. I hope the Blues beat them into submission. I don't care what the score is.....just beat the hell out of them.
Next, the national media. Those bastards annointed Boston the Cup after round 2....fork them.....leave the ice and head for the press box after kicking their golden whiny biatch children's asses.....let Bob Plager lead the charge.
Fork Boston and their puzzzzzzy ass coach.
And now, after all this......I gotta like that forking Melrose too.....geezus, what's next???

Twenty-two minutes, even if that quote is too light is more than one entire period of hockey advantage for Boston.My resource on what happened in the Leafs/Bruins round is the noise coming from the other room. The refs let Bruins penalties slide, until finally a Leaf retaliated, and then they blew the whistle and The Leafs got penalized.
Now my husband, who coached midget hockey in the '70's, is screaming at the TV: "DROP YOU GLOVES! DROP YOUR GLOVES! GO! DROP YOUR GLOVES!"

Beating this team and all the forking baggage that comes with it 3 games in a row is no easy task.
Hated losing game 3 but now that they did it might be a good thing in getting the team ready for this one.
Would love to see them do it tonight for all the fans of this franchise.

I don't know about any disallowed goals, LS.
A former ref, agreed that the refs should have never let the game get out of their control.
Don Cherry, who I would often rather send back to Boston, agrees with my husband. If they're beating on you, drop your gloves, don't try to take 'em with your stick. It only penalizes your teammates.
Of course The Bruins are going to play their game tonight - this is their M.O. because typically, the refs will tighten up their calls in games 6 & 7.
Blues just have to do the same!

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

I don't think the series has been called unfairly, and I damn sure don't think the Blues should be anything less then they've been.....the pounding MUST continue.....the Bruins, for all their "toughness" hate it as bad as Dallas and San Jose did......it's relentless and has to be the Blues attack.
I don't have a penalty by penalty list, but there have only been a few calls for their hits (and of course the suspensions, but that's he league these days if you hit the head)
What they need to stop doing is taking the delay of game and interference penalties......those are just stupid and, I'd venture an educated guess from watching each game, the top end of the calls against them.
Play their game, let Boston retaliate, and win the cup. If the Blues let up on the physical game it won't happen. They can't give that top line a chance to get in the series....and the Blues have done a phenomenal job of keeping them out. (Parayko)

2) Those special lines that The Bruins can form are brutal. Talent is deep rooted in this team.
3) Y'all ask about officiating, but not The Leafs game 7 loss. The Leafs were up by 4 - 1 with 9 minutes to go, playing their same skating game. Then, The Bruins broke out. Don't ever underestimate them.

3. I never care about officiating. I don't want a whistle every damn minute......just do the best to make the penalties even and I'm good. I think, for the most part, the NHL officials do their best at that. PP and PK are part of the game. That being said, I doubt the Blues, or anyone else, can go 1/18 on the PP in a series and expect to win it.
I don't care about going to the finals......this is a 52 year deal. It's win the cup or it's just another season for me. I am happy to still be watching great hockey in the middle of June, so there's that. I think the Blues can still pull it off.....but they have to get an early lead. That team is Jekyll and Hyde....playing from behind is an absolute mess for them.

Your hard-on for Tarasenko is the stuff they study in psychology classes...
The dude has been a force in these playoffs and was no more to blame for last night's loss than anyone else. O'Reilly has been our best player throughout the year and playoffs. But if it is just in your DNA to need players to blame for losses, pin him for part of last night. Giving the Bruins a 5-3 is all but a guaranteed goal and gave them the momentum they needed. But he is human and simply made a mistake. And if you really want to place blame, how about the whole damn defensive corps for about eleventy-seven defensive zone turnovers that just kept giving the Bruins more opportunities. Let's face it, the Bruins are a damn good team and they played a damn good game last night. The Blues were off just enough to make it a loss. It just goes to show you how close these teams are. If either is not 100% on their game, it will cost them. But if you need to hate some players and play the blame game, I guess you'll keep blaming Tarasenko unless he has a hat trick, two assists and 15 hits in game 7.
We have a game seven and the Blues have an uphill climb, with Boston firing on all cylinders and a red hot goalie. I'll say what I've said all along: The Blues are the underdog and will have to play their best game of the year to win this game. Their crowd will be electric and the Bruins players are not likely to let themselves get dominated. Binnington will have to be on his game and maybe even steal a period or two.
Go Blues!!

I never said that Tarasenko hasn't had a decent playoff run (for him).
I simply asked if ANYONE had seen him last night.....did you?? Because the only guy I saw had his sweater on but certainly didn't come to play....so I doubt it was him.
On the other hand.....Perron came to play for sure.....until he got tired.

Look, I have plainly stated that I only hate 8.07461% of the team.
I think that they now have the nucleus for a club that can be a perennial contender. In my estimation, if they get rid of 87.361% of that 8.07461% they will be there.
Certainly, within that 87.361% there are players who would be valued by nearly 24.421% of the league. If they can move those players, it's done.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

It's a lack of talent. In case you haven't noticed, this is not an overly creative team.
The best they can do is park someone in the crease and keep firing.....and when your guy in the crease is Perron vs. Chara......well, you see. Tarasenko is a one-trick pony on the PP....that gets old in a hurry. Parayko from the point....yeah, they've got that one figured out too. It's a 7 game series....not hard to figure out the PP from a team that isn't talented enough to be creative.
I'd put Maroon in the crease, and when he couldn't go anymore I'd put Sundquist there. Just create mayhem and try to manufacture goals from the goalie being screened. They really don't have any other chance.
You can make hay out of the 12 shots the Blues had on PP last night.....but maybe 1 or 2 of them weren't a complete look for Rask.....they won't score that way.

Here's the way I see the Blues. Their talent is in their work.....I don't even know how it happened, but that's where they are. They have to get the puck behind the opposition defense, get in on the puck, and basically create havoc in the opposing zone until the puck ends up in the net.
This team doesn't have a line that could be the top line on any team in the league.....but they have 4 lines, or sometimes pieces of 4 lines, that are willing to grind and grind until the puck goes in. The bonus is that the unrelenting style also wears the other team down.
Because of their style, they play best when they have the lead. In fact, they really are only THAT team when they do have the lead.
If they get behind, they get away from their game and try to become "goal scorers", and passers (jeez, watch the turnovers mount when that happens).....aside from a very few guys on the team, they just aren't goal scorers. If you don't believe it, go back to the regular season stats and see where they rank as a team and individually.....it's just not their game. It's the same reason their PP is not great.....they don't have pretty play-makers......true goal scorers.
They score by attrition.....period. They win games by getting a lead and keeping it by playing the style that fits their team. They are brutal to play against, a very heavy game....a pounding. They don't win by becoming "goal scorers"....which they try to be when they fall behind AND on the PP.
If the Blues get an early lead, don't take dumb penalties, and just play their heavy game.....they win the cup. Get behind and let the game become a track meet against Boston, and the Bruins win the cup. (I purposely didn't put any of this on their rookie goalie. I'm just counting on him to do what he's done to get them here......but this is not about Binnington)
I like their game and win or lose I'll take it over "pretty" hockey every. single. time. And, I'm impressed by what they have become as a team, even though I don't like 7.3946% of the players. There will be no "I told you so" if they don't win.....the effort has been there....without question. LS, I owe you a beer.
Go Blues!!

1. That was just a boneheaded move by Cassidy....who I REALLY don't like.
2. Without question Boston is the more talented team....but that goes for every team the Blues beat to get here.
3. I never care about officiating. I don't want a whistle every damn minute......just do the best to make the penalties even and I'm good. I think, for the most part, the NHL officials do their best at that. PP and PK are part of the game. That being said, I doubt the Blues, or anyone else, can go 1/18 on the PP in a series and expect to win it.
I don't care about going to the finals......this is a 52 year deal. It's win the cup or it's just another season for me. I am happy to still be watching great hockey in the middle of June, so there's that. I think the Blues can still pull it off.....but they have to get an early lead. That team is Jekyll and Hyde....playing from behind is an absolute mess for them.

This is what makes me question The Raptors' ability to win tonight and I'm brand new to watching this, at least since school.
Game 2 was going along fine, then boom. The Warriors just went wild in the 3rd. That's how I'd describe it too, is heavy. I guess that before that point, the Raps had just out finessed them, but I'd never seen the game change pace and score so fast.
Then I knew that this literally wasn't going to be a slam-dunk.
That Curry is just a scoring weapon!I've been watching it too, because the founder of the franchise, really set a standard, and the back story of their beginnings and success make a pretty cool story.
Still, is pouring rain down there tonight, and I'm not standing out there in, what they call Jurassic Park outside the stadium, waiting for it.
Best line I heard this week:
Reporter to Kawhi Leonard: "What do you think a winning the championship will mean to Canada?"
Kawhi: "I don't know."
I don't know if he really doesn't, or he's afraid to answer for fear of social media retribution, or if he's reading my mind.

I don't want to talk about db's. I've been a firearms instructor for 16 years. At my last physical they tried to keep me from working unless I got hearing aids. I managed to skate on that because......well, I kinda make the rules on who can work and who can't.
The deal is.....if I get a hearing aid I have to actually respond when the twins and my wife talk to me....I'm not on board with that. LOL

Blues should put the 4th line out on their pp and let them do what they always do.
And I am dead serious.
If the Blues go down, special teams will be the reason why, it certainly is why this series is tied right now.
And Gomer has explained a good portion of Blues success but pretty much left off the reason they are here.
The defense and Binner.
Yes, the forwards play a big part of that D, but it's the Blues Blue line that has them standing last for the game of their life.
As Scott Stevens said some 3 months ago:
"I like the Blues for a deep run. It could be a SC team. Their d with their bruising body play and long sticks is perfect for play off hockey."
This is the same comment where he said JBo was the guy who put them over the top of other D's.
If I remember right, I think Gomer blew a gasket.

I'm 100% behind that.....and I still am not a Bowmeester fan....just not enough tough for me.
But yeah, overall, the D has kept them in it. It goes to my whole point about not being a "scoring" team in the traditional sense. Admittedly, then, I did not see it.
Still, the D is not the whole deal....this team is NOT the same team it's been for the last 5 years...credit to Berube, mostly. (and some big hitters brought in the last 2 years through acquisitions and the farm club) I suppose Armtstrong gets some credit for that.....geez.....what's next?
I just can't lay this on Binnington in any way for game 7. It's time for the team to give back....give him some damn goals. Let him run with a cushion. That kid has done enough. Sure, they need him, but in case they don't win, it can't be about Binnington in any way, that's all I'm saying. I won't want to hear it.....he's done enough.
I like their chances.....this is NOT over....and I do think the kid will come up big.
Now that they are here.....does anyone remember when Bortuzzo and Sanford fought in practice back in December and Berube just let them go? THAT'S a coach!!! The Blues started to turn right there.

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

The power play has two flaws. Scott mentioned the lack of pure goal scoring players but there is the piss poor design as well. I cannot say enough good things about this coaching staff and what they have accomplished but the power play is their Waterloo. You have to design a power play for the players you have. The ring-around-the-rosy style they try to use does not work unless you have very skilled players that can pass faster than the D can close up the passing and shooting lanes. Those same players have to be able to deliver one-timer shots off the passes (then the Maroon's and Perron's can crash the net for deflections, rebounds and garbage goals). That just hasn't happened enough in this series and for the entire playoffs, for that matter.
What scares me is them trying to get too cute with the passing tomorrow night and giving up a SHG. At this point they need to just stay out of the box themselves and keep pounding the best they can if and when they get a PP. If they get a PP goal, so be it.
The Blues have been the better team 5 on 5 and can shut down that top scoring line pretty well. Getting into a track meet or special teams game will doom them. This needs to be a classic road game for the Blues. Keep it simple, grind and pound the take the scoring opportunities when they come...
Go Blue!!

What's funny is they are 4-0 when they give up a shorty in the play offs.
I guess I'd rather see a good strong PK than PP at this point. I think the odds are better for that any way.
Truth is Blues will really need both on Wednesday.

That's what it's gonna be. Might not even post about it. Might not talk about it either.
But No forkin person here, including Gomer, is gonna tell me how I feel, how I should feel or why I should feel it. That's my call.
No. I'll feel Blue for real. I'll be down down. On my own.
But the kicker, the thing that can't be taken away....this has been the most outstanding season of hockey that I can disseminate in my entire life and as Dawg, the spring chicken himself who can't remember the 80's loves to point out, that life has been long enough.
I was 13 the day the Blues came to town. Tomorrow night, I'll start the night feeling like I'm 15.

I was 7 in the Blues first season.....I had a scrapbook that I kept until I was about 12 or 13 that had EVERY picture of the Blues that the Post-Disgrace ran.....every. single. one. My neighbor and my dad split season tickets the first 4 years. I was in the old barn for the Blues first playoff game with the Canadiens. I was there for the 2nd game in the second season. My younger brother was at game 1 against Boston in 1970....I lost the coin flip and hated him and my dad for 2 months.
I fell asleep listening to Gus and Dan every single night there was a game, listening to an old gray AM radio.....I was a hockey nut.
I don't know how many games I've been to over the years....but I know NOTHING in sports will ever make me as sad as the day they tore down the Arena.....NOTHING....not even losing tomorrow. I miss hockey in the barn!!! I always will.
Hockey at the "new" place never captivated me like a game at the old place. The first day I walked in and saw those first pink seats I wanted to burn that dump to the ground. The renovation this year was looooong overdue (not that I went to any games.
) No team since the Sutter days has held my interest like those early years.
I have hated the latest version of the Blues with a passion that most can't understand. The moves the last few years were more of a "meh" moment than anything else.....until those bastards started to put it together this year.
I love hard hitting, dump and chase hockey. This team is playing my game right now.....it's forking amazing!!! I still don't like some of these guys......never will....they forking laid down on Hitchcock....LAID DOWN. It was pathetic and I won't get over it.
I want the Stanley Cup parading down Market Street. This city and it's fans have earned it!!! I want Bobby Plager with tears of joy. I don't care about anything else tomorrow night. I don't care if someone dies on the damn ice.....just win the Cup!!
If they don't.....I'm looking forward to this team's future under Berube.....and I'm headed to Stockton on Thursday to catch some walleye and drink some beer.......fork 'em. If they win, I'm headed to Stockton on Thursday to catch some walleye and drink some beer....fork 'em. I don't need to see the parade, i don't need to see the tears streaming down Plager's face. I know exactly what it looks like....I've seen it in my mind's eye for 50 years.

Hey LS.....what's your favorite game of all-time? Mine is 1972 vs. Philadelphia when #5 led the charge into the stands to go after fans who had attacked Al Arbor, who was coaching then.
I was watching that game and will never forget that the Note was down 2-0 after 2 periods when all hell broke loose. They came back and scored 3 in the 3rd to win it. I remember the intermission took forever because so many Blues had to get their skates sharpened from the concrete in the stands and in the runway.
I think I remember that part of the 2nd period was actually played after the intermission, which was early to clear the teams after the melee. HAHAHAHA!!!
I've probably watched youtube videos of that incident/game 100 times. It's forking iconic!!!
The Plager boys WERE the Blues!!

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

The worst game I remember was when Wayne Maki hit Teddy Greene in the head and fractured his skull.....damn near killed him. Ironically, in light of this series, Greene was with the Bruins.
I can't remember where we were going but I was in the car with my mom and dad listening to the game. I remember the silence in the car as Kelly described Greene being carted off the ice....everyone knew immediately that is was serious from Kelly's call. I remember that Greene eventually came back to play again and he wore a crazy looking helmet with black dots on it.....in a day when NOBODY wore helmets.
Funny, I had to look up how to spell Maki and I saw it was 1969.....I was only 9 years old. The memory is vivid in my mind.
Here's the weird thing....when I looked it up, there were pictures of the fight and Maki is wearing #14....so that was 1969. Didn't Tim Ecclestone wear #14?? Ecclestone was still with the Blues because I know he went with Berenson to Detroit in the trade that brought Unger here in '71 or '72. I have always associated #14 with Ecclestone. Maki was basically done with the Blues after the incident, but Ecclestone was a Blue before and after the incident. I hadn't remembered that the Maki/Greene deal was a pre-season game.....was that why he was wearing #14? Am I wrong about Ecclestone wearing #14??
Edit: so I found some pics of Ecclestone....in a 1967 trading card he is wearing a number that starts with a 2, but in a '68 game pic he is wearing a sweater that starts with a 1, and it appears to be 14 from another angle (can't tell for sure).....but it still doesn't explain why Maki was wearing 14 in the Greene deal. (if I'm right that Ecclestone wore 14)
No, I can't sleep with this game coming up....so don't ask why I'm doing this at 1130.

My favorite was what I can remember of the best sporting event I ever attended.
It was Blues/North Stars play off game.... '70 I believe....Hall was in goal and the game was crazy good.
Unchaperoned, we had a beer guy who sold to us...you could not see across that place with all the smoke and din...the stench...bwaaaaa......Blues won it was 2-1 I think but the place was electric and alive the whole night. I had never seen anything like it before or since.

Good luck at Stocktank gents. I was down there 5/21-5/23. We actually only were able to fish less than a day and a half due to storms. We were in Stockton when the tornado that killed the folks in Golden City passed by - too much excitement. The lake came up almost 3 feet in three days.The rapid rise sure jacked with the fish. We had a great time though, caught some fish, ate well and drank many beverages.

The only sammich in hockey is a knuckle sammich.
Pretty much looked like Brett Hull Hoovered all the alcohol molecules in the state the other night, too!
Tough guys. None tougher than Andy Brown, the goalie from Detroit and Pittsburgh and eventually the AHL. Held a goalie record of 60 minutes in game penalties.
On its own, that's not so surprising, however, he refused to wear a goalie mask, and was the final goalie in the NHL to play without one.
I remember this, not because of his NHL career, but because he used to race cars, against my Dad, back in the day.
Once in Indiana, he got into Standard Bred Race Horses, and was pretty successful with that too.

Hull lived in the city where I work for about 6 years. He was sharing a house with Oates most of that time. I'm not talking.

Eddie Shack was local to the business back then. Dad sold him a canary 56 T-Bird. I'm not talking either, but when he left with the roof down, you could hear him singing "Yellow Bird" all the way down the road!
I just found a photo of him and my folks a few weeks ago.
Never met him, but the next time you drive on by a Tim Horton's, that was a pretty spectacular accident there he had when he rolled his Ford Pantera.
His wife and family didn't get anything for that franchise. They were different times.

Not sure if it is my favorite game but certainly most memorable. 1981 Playoffs vs Pittsburgh. Mike Crombeen hadn't seen the ice in a loooong time, maybe since regulation time and score the game winner in double OT. That was back in the days when we would scalp tickets or even sneak in and then sit in whatever seats were empty, until we got kicked out. For whatever reason we never got kicked out of the most primo seats you can imagine, in the old barn (you know, Jeff, the one with columns). We were like 5 rows off center ice in the Parquet section. Here are the highlights 1981
Man, I have some memories of that "Old Barn" as well. Between 1979 and 1986, I averaged over 30 home games a year. And a few years were 39 or 40 games, not counting playoffs. We even got taken to the local precinct, in the paddy wagon for scalping one time. Of course they didn't catch us and had to let us go. I think they were just appeasing the Blues or some brass that told them to go do something. We were in our seats before the start of the 2nd period that night.
My best memories were chatting it up with Dan Kelly and Gus Kyle between periods, as well as before and after the games. They both smoked like chimney's and came out on the catwalk behind their booth to light up. We were often in section 213 and could easily talk to them. We also found a beer vendor in that area that would sell us beer with very questionable or non-existent ID's. Does anyone remember those giant beers for $3.10. They must have been 30 oz. We would have one regular, 18-20 oz beer in the 1st and 2nd, then one of those "kegs" as we called them in the 3rd. Having already drank a few on the way down, we were primed by the time the game was over...
Oh, the memories of that place...

I don't care much about individual trophy's and accolades.....but this much is not disputable....Jordan Binnington will forever be the first rookie goalie to win 16 playoff games. It can never be broken.......only tied.
Binnington may not win the Calder Trophy (rookie of the year if you don't know), I guess the voting is done before the playoffs start....but we know, and he deserves it without question.
Thank you Jordan Binnington!!! This would not have happened without you!

The best walleye fishing at Stocktank is just getting started. It gets better as the summer goes if you know how to catch them.
The best tip I can give you is catch them in the mouth and keep pressure on them.

i started watching the blues and hockey in general in the mid 90's. a gal I was dating was originally from union, mo and her dad was a big fan. we were just starting to get the games on the newly formed fox Midwest, so we would go to her house and I would watch the games with her dad..
I've been a baseball guy my whole life, but I was drawn in to the game because I didn't know anything about it. it sure wasn't boring. I never watched any games in the barn (but did see it before it was demo'd) and have watched a couple games in the new building, it was the kiel center back then.
anyway, I've been following them ever since and it's very cool to see the city win the big one!
congrats to all you guys farting dust who have watched them since the original team!

Re: The REAL 2018-2019 Saint Louis Blues Thread

What an incredible run!! I was nervous as a whore in church even after goal #3. The sphincter relaxed a little but not much. I really felt good when they got up 3-0 and kept up the offensive pressure. That's when I knew they were going to win it!!
Binnington is a story for the ages. He was a huge part, probably the single biggest part of the turnaround.
The coaching staff deserves a ton of credit. The Blues quietly assembled a who's who of coaching and those guys brought a style of play that suited the roster. I am especially impressed with Mike Van Ryn and Larry Robinson. Between the talent assembled by DA and the system put in place by MVR and LR, this is probably the best defensive corps in the NHL, when they are all healthy. A few of the old guys will move on but young guns like Parayko and Dunn will fill those spots quite well. Let's hope they can keep this staff and the core players together for a few more years.
Ryan O'Reilly was the off-season pick-up that I thought was going to make the Blues much better and man did he look good all season. Even when the Blues sucked, he was their best player. I know Binnington gets most of the credit for the turnaround but O'Reilly has been the best, and most consistent player for all 238 games they played this season...
Steen, Bozak and a few of the older guys will not be around much longer and it looks like the Blues have a pretty good crop of young players to infill.
I now have a dilemma. I have a project in Boston that I will be visiting more than 3 or 4 times between now and August. Do I stick my finger in their collective eye and wear my Blues paraphernalia when there or just play it low key? Normally, I would play it low key but these folks are arrogant, obnoxious and just overall unlikable, when it comes to how they act about their sports teams. I may just dress up my hard hat with a bluenote and call it a day...
Looking forward to the parade. Can't imagine my spot is still there but I'll check. Either way, I'll put my Ruger in my pocket and head down to be part of the crowd. It will be fun to watch the masses celebrate.
When does next season start?

when we used to come up for games, we'd park at umsl and ride the train over. last time I was up for a game, we drank beers at schalfly taproom and walked to the stadium. that was a bad idea when the game was over..

Haus - Stay off the train. Metrolink will have extra officers but that just reduces it from deadly to dangerous. You can park downtown, within 3-5 blocks of Market Street if you get there a few hours early. Just head towards Market, between 18th and Broadway and try to find a spot.
Another option is to park a few miles away at a shopping center or someplace like the Galleria or The Promenade at Brentwood and take an Uber/Lyft to the SLU campus area (or Market & Jefferson) then walk to the parade route. Getting an Uber/Lyft back after the parade will be a challenge. The further you walk away from the crowd, towards wherever you parked the better the odds of getting an Uber/Lyft.
Parking will not be cheap within a mile of the parade route. Just keep that in mind.
It will likely be crowded, even in the rain. Plan on everything you do taking longer than expected. Traffic will be a nightmare within 5 miles of the parade route and the rain will only make that worse. I'm sure I don't have to tell you but keep you're head on a swivel and pay attention to your surroundings. It should be a pretty safe environment but most criminals are criminals of opportunity. They will be down there. Don't be one of their victims...
I'm sure it will be one hell of an experience for you and your son. Enjoy it. Soak it all in!!!

Taking off now...it's been a great day now it's fishing!!
So much running through my mind.
The guys I b1tched about (but never hated) are worth the mention.
Steen...took his demotion and killed at it.
JBo...complete resurgence to what might even be his best hockey of his career.
Petro...and odd year, so much early sloppy play, lackadasical. But the guy just had some 20 points in the play offs and played monster D
Perron.....can't help it, even when pizzed at him...I just like that guy and yes, he had a strong strong play off for the first time in his career
Now the rest, I could mention every one. I have no qualms with O'Reilly getting the mvp but truth is it's dead even with Binner. At least O'Reilly is Irish. bwaaaa
Binner...I love you man. Not sure you are human, but it's all good bro. A story that rivals and in my mind surpasses Warner....so far anyway.
Senko lights out...200 feet....this was his best season of hockey ever and his goals were down. He is now a player.
Schenn, Schwartz....on and on.
The future? Not sure about how it will work with the cap but Sunny, Barbs, Blais, Thomas....good grief and all will be cheap.
Parayko....the monster in him finally came out. He has Norris all over him. The rest of that D core were all key to being the best in the NHL.
Lastly, kind of why and how so many stories led up to this...the Sanford kid....in the dog house the past few months....then steps into the games biggest spotlight and becomes a man.
A fun summer ahead....bask in this glorious sunlight and then discuss trades coming up that we can actually be afraid to make.
Just think Bubba.....there's no off season for this team....this year.
Thanks again boys! Thank You!

There are players on this team I just don't like.....but I don't hate 'em anymore. It's not like they backed into this Cup win. They fought and clawed for every win. These are not goal scorers, but they're damn sure hockey players.....or at least they became hockey players under Berube. I wish they had another series. I can't remember when I just enjoyed Blues hockey the way they played it during the playoffs....the way it's SUPPOSED to be played.....smothering defense, top notch goaltending, hard hitting, and a relentless forecheck!!
I'm glad we've only got a couple months until they get going again.......I know that team needs a rest.....but I don't. My recliner and beer fridge are in top shape and ready to go!!!

and walked across the bridge to the rink and then down Market to Tucker. We stood pretty much underneath the Blues flag they had hung over the street.Neat experience, but I told the family if they win again in the coming years, I'm staying home..
We drank free beer at Urban Chestnut and then drove to Hofbrau in Belleville for more. It was a well spent Father's Day weekend.

It's 18 feet high.......there is NO bank. When you get to the trees the water is 20 feet deep. It's 50-100 yards of trees just to get to land. In short....it sucked. However, we could have easily won a Drum fishing tournament.
That's purely from what I remember.
The annual father's day fishing trip with the boys has a whole new flavor since they are all 21 now.
Before you make a trip down there, put your dick up on the counter and hit it with a hammer.....if that feels ok to you, then head down there.

Glad you made it and enjoyed the weekend. We got down there around 10:30 as well and parked in the garage at Olive and Locust, only a few blocks from Market. We crossed over and met up with some friends at 14th and Market for a nice view of the parade. Had a great time watching the players interact with everyone. If touching the Cup was a lifelong dream, that was the place to be. O'Reilly made sure anyone that wanted to touch it could do so.
By the time they got to the Rally at the Arch, it was pretty much a drunken chit-show. I'm not sure one player was sober enough to say anything worth listening to. But everyone soaked it all in and I didn't see any stupidity by the fans, unless you consider Brett Hull a fan. He was hammered by 8:00am and it seemed to go downhill from there...
Those things aren't my cup of tea but I am glad I went. It was pretty cool to be a part of it all. Looking Forward to next year's parade!!

It's 18 feet high.......there is NO bank. When you get to the trees the water is 20 feet deep. It's 50-100 yards of trees just to get to land. In short....it sucked. However, we could have easily won a Drum fishing tournament.
That's purely from what I remember.
The annual father's day fishing trip with the boys has a whole new flavor since they are all 21 now.
Before you make a trip down there, put your dick up on the counter and hit it with a hammer.....if that feels ok to you, then head down there.
That put it nicely. The high wind on Friday was fun too. Snapping the Helix mount off the console was a joy. 3-4 foot rollers on that lake is sure fun.
LOZ is rolling so hard from Truman dam a man can’t fish it either for eyes. Jigs and rig can’t stay on the bottom. Trolling is nearly useless. Truman will be tried in a couple weeks, but I imagine it will suck ass with it 30 plus feet high. A man might have to venture OOS close to MOMO for some eye fishing this summer.

Yeah it was at 876.8 when we got there and was 879.8 when we left three days later which is about 5 feet lower than what you guys were dealing with last week. Fish are scattered all over the place. And I have a feeling that it's going to be kind of jacked for most of the summer.

Possibly.....personally, I'd like to to see alcohol content of a beer changed to alcohull. You know, 5% alcohull, or for your favorite IPA 8.2% alcohull.

I had a standard audit, by our industry council, scheduled for last Friday morning at 10.30 am. The girl rolls in, 6'1", in red All Star High Tops. She had been down there Thursday night, and didn't get home until 4 a.m. Friday.
That crowd was incredible today, doesn't anyone work, any longer? They have to ruin everything.
I'm live further away from the city now, and today is my granddaughter's 3rd birthday, but we have been celebrating it all weekend, without incident, with kids on ATV's and dirt bikes.
It's seriously methed up, the way these crowds run from scene to scene. Glad the cops have a couple of suspects. :rollseyes:

The voting is done at the end of the regular season, no amount of playoff heroics is going to make a single difference.
It's hard to argue against Cooper.....if that's who got it, I didn't watch or look. That team only lost 15 games or so and the team's goal differential was somewhere over +100. Geez....I would hope he got the award. If it went to Trotz.....nah.
Same goes with Binnington.....and I would imagine the voting was much closer than the voting for Coach of the year, but Pettersson.....if that's who got it, had one hell of a rookie season....a FULL season.

I'm guessing every winner of every award would trade it in about 5 seconds for the Cup.
When you consider that sports writers do most of the voting (GM of the Year is by GM's and some execs and some sports writers), you can always expect East Coast bias. That's just the reality of it. You can also usually expect some head-scratcher's. This year wasn't too bad. Any hockey knowledgeable person could make a compelling argument for all of the winners this year. Had the voting occurred after the playoffs, the Blues would have easily won some more hardware.
Voting at the end of the regular season is the right thing to do for most of the awards. Otherwise stars like Connor McDavid could have the best season of all players and not have a chance at an award because his team sucked. I think GM of the Year should be after the playoffs. How many times have we seen 100+ point season teams get bounced in the 1st or 2nd round? A great GM builds a team that can get to the playoffs and win in the playoffs. I've heard the GM of the Year voting is after a round or two of the playoffs but that is not what the NHL says in their description of the award. "An annual award presented to recognize the work of the league’s general managers, voting for this new award is conducted among the 30 club general managers and a panel of NHL executives, print and broadcast media at the conclusion of the regular season."
Still a little giddy just thinking about the Blues spending all next season being the "Defending Stanley Cup Champions"

They'll re-sign Maroon. He's a bargain as it is and he will still take less than market value to be able to stay here where his son is.
They'll sign Binnington as well....because if they don't they'll be run out of town on a rail.
My guess is Allen stays. Really no point in letting him go now when he's already signed and he'll be the best back-up in the league.....they'd just end up having to eat part of his contract so they might as well keep him.
If they trade anyone, it should be Petreangelo while he still has some value. Let's face it, this is not his team as the Captain. It belongs to O'Reilly now.....rightfully so. Move Petreangelo now by trading for a goal scorer.

It's a strange thing winning a Cup. Visions get blurred, minds get bent....and apparently Allen gets yet another chance with the fans and DA is more than happy for his boy to oblige.
Chicago, Dallas, Avs, Wild and the Turds all making moves to get better. The Central will be brutal.
The Blues remain intact. The contracts are all there. They were no doubt special to win that Cup and now we are all about to find out just how special they can be. In hockey, 2 in a row is a dynasty by itself.
Moving Petro now would be the biggest thrown bombshell in this franchises history. I'm pretty sure Army is trying to extend him. The guy resurrected himself from his worst year ever with his play off performance. Doughty got 10/7, Karlsson got 11/8....that's what the Blues are staring at without injury or more bad play the coming year.
I would not do it. But this is DA's wheelhouse....it's the re signing of aging players that has been his worst enemy and the grandaddy of them all is coming up soon.

I don't want long, expensive contracts for aging players anymore. With the talent coming up in the franchise they don't need to do it.
As for Allen.....he's already signed. I don't think he can take the Blues to the places like they went this season, but I found something to respect the guy for.....he put the team first through the playoffs, and by all accounts, helped Binnington quite a bit. I think the guy is a better backup than he is starter......yeah, an expensive one, but it's already done. How about just leave the forking goalie situation alone for once.
The only way I sign on for keeping Petreangelo is if he no longer wears the C and he gets a 1 or 2 year deal. THAT TEAM NEEDS SCORING!! He's the asset you can move to get some. Now is the time.

It was DA who abused the fans and Allen night after night. He's been inconsistent his whole career as a starter and he'd still be out there doing his thing if Binner hadn't stumbled into their laps the way he did.
He'll likely stay I get that but not really and God help them if he goes back to #1 under any circumstance.

Now I'd just like to enjoy a Blue's season with no goalie controversy. I don't feel like it's asking too much after winning a Cup.
Trade Petreangelo or sign him short term, get what you can from Allen as a backup (prolly plenty), and trade them both when a great deal comes along.

0% chance Petro signs anything less than a 5 year deal and it will likely be 6 or more, for big bucks. There was a slim chance of a hometown discount and/or shorter term deal before the Cup. That very slim chance went to zero, when he hoisted the Cup. If the Blues want to keep him, it will be a huge deal and will likely cripple their ability to make any big splashes, with future signings. I'd be in favor of trading him. The only teams that will trade for him will be Cup contenders and you will not get a top line scorer for him. It will likely be some combination of high draft picks and prospects.
Allen will likely stay because of that salary. If he stays and plays 25% of the games, that should work out fine. He'll be the most expensive back-up in the league but as Scott said, what's done is done.
As much as I like Maroon and hope they sign him, he's not going to make or break the team. I said the same about Reaves. If your 3rd or 4th line muscleman is the difference in advancing in the playoffs, you have some other pretty big issues. He is a feel-good story but can be replaced for less than the $3 mil or $4 mil that he will likely get on a 2-3 year deal. And if he gets that, good for him!! I just think the Blues are likely to offer him $2 mil or less for 1-2 years. I give credit to DA for letting someone else pay for the end of Backes' career. This isn't exactly the same but the same concept.
Overall, I think the Dallas moves are over-hyped. They didn't get much faster or bigger. It looks to me like they may have improved on the skill level but enough to make a difference? I guess we'll see. I think the team to watch is the Av's. Lots of speed, young players, some skill and some size. I could see them in the Western Conf. Finals next year.

Avs have a great future but for right now I think their D keeps them from reaching any Cup final. They lost Barrie and their front 4 has too much inexperience to be shut down good and 5 + 6 aren't really any good.
Stars were, imo, the best team the Blues faced in the playoffs. BISHOP was a big part of that but if he stays healthy they aren't slipping away. Agree the trade deal was odd...in fact I'd take the faster younger Zuc over Pavs and I can't believe Perry and the other dude are going to do much for them maybe muscle from Perry. I see the Stars as a wash off season but great coach and a wash trade might be good enough for them.
Blues main deal over the rest in the Central is their depth of players. They are out starred on some top line bling but long on depth including a very good 7 D. Act ll is gonna be harder than the first Act it's going to be interesting.
