I agree.

Hall looked great that 1st (2) periods of the season.

Can't be all ralph and system's right?


Really, only a handful of players have played above expectations. Olo being 1.

Who else? Cozens? Staal?

5 on 5

cozens
rieder
lazar

Always appreciate the info but this is too juicy, don't leave us hanging. What could he have honestly done that even the NHL got upset? Seems pretty out there.

Like I said, I thought it would have been said already. I'm not gonna say much more on it. Gerbe got canned for less. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Funny when we got him Shadow from the SPCA they told us he would just be a medium dog, he has a little Rottweiler in him, but he just kept getting bigger and bigger, his head is the size of a Football.

Arizona is pissed you left them out of the conversation
- IndianaSabresFan

The NHL is in charge there and they can't even figure out what a head shot or offsides is so Arizona are pretty much a pretend team until they finally let them relocate.

That pretend team took 4 out of 7 games from the Blues.

Olofsson has not played above expectations. He's right about where we expected since most of us realize he is a 3rd line PP specialist

J.J. Watt is "seriously considering" signing with the Browns.
Sources tell Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot the Browns are a real contender to land Watt after the Texans inexplicably released the superstar edge rusher. At last check, half the NFL was looking into signing Watt, who reportedly wants to sign with a legit Super Bowl contender. The Browns, after making it to the Divisional Round and nearly upsetting the Chiefs in Kansas City, would seem to fit that description. Watt, entering his age-32 season, was Pro Football Focus' seventh highest-graded edge defender in 2020 who has the third most QB pressures since 2011. He would be a big get for Kevin Stefanski's upstart Browns, who have $21.7 million in cap space this offseason -- the tenth most in the NFL.

That's tied for the team scoring lead, who would have thought.

Yep, but let's not act like that franchise has turned a corner.

But when you make a splash in FA like signing Johan Larsson, you better be taking 4 of 7 from the Blues.

I'm gonna say he contacted the player himself and asked him to request a trade or something along those lines

9 of 11 points on the power play and 1g 1a at even strength - you don't want Olofsson leading your team in points when it's like this.

I understand that, but he's the only one scoring, and that's not a good thing.

We a re e the worst 5v5 team in the NHL. In the 1st period last night we looked awesome. Then predictably dialed it back, curled into the fetal position and sucked our thumbs.

PLD got traded for 1 shift of playing like Eichel plays every shift.

I hate to go against the company line around here, but olofsson is a very bright spot during a dim season.

Thank God they reunited eichel with skimmer. Last night proved everyone here right. Got our 9 million $ guy going last night, and our 10 million guy stymied.
