How’s the ref not blowing the whistle no way he could see it
- Thorny87


Oh yeah, he waited and waited with it completely out of sight.. He didn't want to blow that.

Didn't expect that. Was sadly thrilled just getting the loser point. Rust maybe waking up????

Not sure how to feel about it honestly. That was a shakey ass win against a poop team. The heart seems to have been sucked out of them

Funny... I was thinking the same thing. At least we got the loser point. A little shocked they won.

They dominated that game.... Any other ref would of blown the whistle on that 2nd... I will fault them for the last 5.5 mins though...they worry too much about being scored on in that situation... Probably because it's happend so much. Looked like a totally different team confidence and poise wise after they went up 2-1, which is really weird for a team getting the lead but that's how it looked to me. Such a major psychological factor to sports.

I agree. They’re fragile AF right now. More so then I’ve ever seen them.

I also really want new coaching and management

Is it just me, or did that 3rd line look much better with Heinen there

Thank you Blues for taking Kapanen off our hands. We have some other third and fourth line players if you are interested .

I didn't mean playoff expectations...more like any hope that we will at least lose in OT when we dominate the first half the game. Recent stretch has knocked that tiny bit of positivity out of me lol

Niederreiter for a 2nd.. Thats it? .signed for next season... Gonna go over 20 goals again...4 mill cap hit seems fair... Is he still a defensive darling?... Only a 2nd sounds like a steal

EDIT... He's pushing 55-60% in xGF, HDCF and CF.. Top 3 relatives in all of it on the Preds.

What am I missing here? How come he was had for a 2nd?

Wow, that seems like a perfect player to snag and could have been Zucks replacement next year...

Hextall saying prices are high, but Nino for a 2024 2nd seems like steal to me. If you want to “fix” the bottom six, a deal like that is where you start
