The decision to extend his contract was obvious. Every coach has an expiration date with their players but it should be good for the team if he can stick around another 2-3 years.
Yes, this feels different than when Murray received his extension. Probably because this team is much better and much more ready to succeed than the team when Murray was the coach.
Smart move by the Blues. They really should extend Armstrong as well and get him locked up for several more years as he has been nothing but great for this team and we owe a lot of the success we are having to him.

his seems to be quicker than many, but how can you not extend him.
It's too bad the Blues can't sign Hull out of retirement to score a cup-winning, illegal goal for them too. Hope St. Louis enjoys all the boring hockey they have in store.

Good for him. The Blues were right in the thick of it and as it has been mentioned before---> The players bought what he was selling. They'll be strong again.

We'll eat it up bro. It's so boring when 1/2 of your roster has double digit goals (no other team this year had that going for them, but I'm sure you already knew that), can roll three good scoring lines, & skate circles around other teams. It's pretty boring when your coach, GM, & goalies win awards & your captain comes in 2nd for Selke. I'm so jealous of Colorado's playoff run and all of the trophies that team won this year.
