Tage Thompson - Wow. I love what i'm seeing from him.


*Jaskin
*Paarvi
*Sundqvist

Empty uniforms.


Blues have too many some-time guys that poke in a goal every once in a while making it bad when Schenn-Steen-Tarasenko and the like aren't scoring at regular intervals.

That, and Nashville just might be the best all around most complete team in the NHL.

I like Sundqvist. MPS has ability but does not put it too good use. Ashame he can't figure it out.

Thompson is money.

Tim Peel is such a freaking joke I just do not comprehend intereference called on the player being interfered with while Subban can hack, trip punch which is apparently how he checks and Hartnell can fly through the air to make high hits.

Oh and who is this Broadziak guy? Dude is playing great. But you know if a fourth liner carries an opposing player on his back when about to be on a break away is the opposing player really on his back? Upshall commits a penalty called. Subban does things that are causing people to resign or be fired and its legit.

You realize Jaskin's takeaway created the only goal? So only sometimes empty uniform, lol.

Same Blues story - no real finish on any quality chances, still taking too long to shoot, still not enough goals, and good goaltending getting slightly outperformed by the other netminder.

Peel continues to be terrible but continues to be given games. How there was not a call on the Brodziak was very disheartening though the power play stinks so other than a penalty shot call (not going to happen) it probably didn't matter.

Is it bad that I was just hoping for someone to take Subban out all night even if it meant getting a penalty?

I don't like him.

The blues desperately need guys like Thompson and kyrou to make the full time roster asap. We need those right hand shots. A good right handed one time threat on the power play would make it much more dynamic.

pp does stink but when they got set up they had some nice looks. Anyway get the other team chasing the puck burning their legs. I believe in wars of attrition.

No he is classless. In today's world being classless and happy to be of color seemingly protects people from being called out. I read a poor him article must be racism because the NHL needs to compete with the NFL and NBA by having more colorful personalities. So if you disagree you must essentially be a racist.

Nope. Subban has some good offensive ability and after that he is not much of a player. But if he is allowed to punch instead of check, slash and cross check more than the acceptable limit he will appear to be an effective defender.

How he leads in allstar voting is crazy to me. He's imo a pp specialist at best who does a poor impersenation of Don Cherry. But he appears to be a decent enough human being with his tax write offs. Just an overhyped hockey player.

But hey Hartnel is back at leaping checks towards the head so that's a plus.

I'm not worried about this Blues team.

If Stastny resigns for a lot less you have a great third line next year. If Thomas is ready and he should be, you have the makings of a great second line center.

If Fabbri comes back, Kyrou, Thompson and some of these other speedsters domination is at hand. Because Dunn will get better, because he has magic hands, Wallman, and Schmaltz are all pretty much ready and they look really good.

It's to the point the Blues could move players in the next year for good picks and keep their dominance or for a dominant player such as an elite goaltender.

I definitely think the future going forward is very bright. The scouting department and DA seems to continue to do a very good job of evaluating young amateur talent.

Armstrong's contract extension was well deserved IMO.

I'd certainly prefer him over that other bald guy that used to be here that you-know-who seems to think walks on water.

This next offseason is a key one for the blues IMO

If they think they kids will flourish they need to cut ties with MPS and Sundqvist and guys like that.

If you can find a taker for Bergy you do that too

Keep Bergy. Trade Sobotka.

Bergy can score. IMO you don't need both, and Bergy is better.
