I use events to measure pace as opposed to speed. There aren't a ton of shots/chances being traded, is what I'm saying.

that is due to lack of skill

the pace of the game is light years ahead of last season

This has 2-0 loss written all over it. KK giving up a goal 10 minutes in

Thompson looks like a future 30+ goal scorer. Reminds me of Laine. Ill stop complaining about Greene and LJ's gross overusage, as it should ultimately help aid the tank.

Yeah, I don't really agree with you. The guy's name is "Tage".

It would be a miracle if Tage Thompson scored 30 goals in a single season.

that ROR trade was really awful. Sabres traded a first line center for spare parts. only reason nobody talks about it is because the Blues are so awful.

It was a 1st (a high one), a 2nd, a serviceable player (sobotka), a decent at worst prospect and Berglund (also serviceable). I think Thompson is still somewhat promising although I don't know. I think that's a pretty good haul for a player that needed to be traded.

Yeah, I don't know if it's lottery protected but Blues are a team that can climb the standings with what they got.

Zajac is the 4th all time devils scorer! That is insane

Did O'Reilly need to be traded? Berglund got his contract terminated and Sobtka is a whatever player.

Yeah he wanted out something awful as I remember. I totally forgot they terminated Berglund but wasn't that some outside circumstances? I remember him being good in St. Louis

Yeah, he was decent in STL but struggled early in Buffalo then lied to the team about being sick and missed games. Pretty insane situation. Not sure what he was thinking.

Yeesh. You can hardly blame Buffalo for that

Are we breaking 20 shots tonight? Thinking no.

Blues pick is top 10 protected.
