It's about what I expected. I'm surprised others are as surprised.
Wow that can't be true but I'm sure it's not far off. Not making excuses but what a joke of a February schedule. NHL players are creatures of habit and the Blues start the month off with an 11 day break followed by 5 out their first 7 games being NOON starts!! Today was at 11am and the Nash game was at 4pm, so lets just say they were all at noon.Someone asked this a month or so ago and I figured out that we'd lost 18 day games in a row at that point being doubled up by our opponents in average goals scored. We're 2-1 since that point. Looking like we'll be 2-20 in our last 22 after this one.
If I didn't know any better, I'd swear I was watching one of the games before Berube got fired.The first 5 minutes of this game brought back those memories for me.
If the west is a joke, the east is too right? Going into todays game, the Blues are 3 points behind the 8th seed Lightning, with a game in hand.Oh come on, this is not a serious playoff team LOL. They are only "in contention" because the west is a JOKE. and they only have 1 slot available to them and they are so pathetic, they will find a way to miss it AND miss a top 10 pick.
I have no interest in watching a 4 game sweep vs the Refalanche.
hes not a long term solution. firing berube was the wrong move long term and DA let Berube take the brunt of this shit show instead of himThis team better gas Bannister at the end of the year. They get shelled every night and people see the record and assume he's done a good job. Benching Thomas and Kyrou is just hilarious

Bannister did what I would have done.This team better gas Bannister at the end of the year. They get shelled every night and people see the record and assume he's done a good job. Benching Thomas and Kyrou is just hilarious
everyone is going to have bad games from time to time but this is just another day for Kyrou. Why does he care about winning or taking his game to the next level? He gets no meaningful financial benefit from doing that. He's cashed in thanks to a idiotic overpayment from Armstrong (shocker), he doesnt give a damn anymore, no matter how many crocodile tears he musters up.Hahaha...watch #18 in the first few minutes. Too lazy to back check on Kane. Kane gets the puck in the slot with #18 ten feet from him. 1-0 Wings.
Then 18-25-89 cluster fark in Wings zone minutes later. Turn over, breakout, score. 2-0 Wings. The rest is history.
Our two high payroll players don't come ready to compete. Season over IMO.
Hard to do that to Kyrou when you trot Kasperi Kapanen in the top 6 every game (finally benched him today but besides the point.) He started the game with our 4th line and their 1st and we all saw what happened.They should have been benched. Berube should have been benching Kyrou for a long ass time but all he did was kiss his ass while blaming everything on Vrana.
Look at the roster and tell me what he isn't doing that he could be. I think he's doing the best he can.This team better gas Bannister at the end of the year. They get shelled every night and people see the record and assume he's done a good job. Benching Thomas and Kyrou is just hilarious
42% Expected Goals For 5v5 since he started. The roster is bad but not THAT badLook at the roster and tell me what he isn't doing that he could be. I think he's doing the best he can.
If they weren't 'that bad', they would show up. This team isn't as good as so many think and I feel some are part-time passengers too. This is a game where the better team took full control and won, simple as that. If those folks showed up, we probably would have lost, but it wouldn't have been 6-1.42% Expected Goals For 5v5 since he started. The roster is bad but not THAT bad
I agree on the last point. All the goals were odd man rushes or wide open shooters point blank. Goalies have carried this team all yearIf they weren't 'that bad', they would show up.

If those folks showed up, we probably would have lost, but it wouldn't have been 6-1.
And for those who want to hang this entirely on Binny (And yeah, he sucked - 3GA + 1PP), mind that Hofer gave up 2 goals. I don't think it would have mattered who we had in goal.
Why do you continue to repeat bullshit and act like it’s a fact? The Blues were on his list.While lack of cap space was a thing, you still don't answer how you know Kyrou didn't get offered ... which really leads to how do you know Calgary would have taken that offer over every other offer it had. And, given how allegedly worthless Kyrou is and you know it, then presumably others know it too - including maybe even Calgary - so why would Calgary take a worthless player and some other worthless shit for Tkachuk, over every other offer it had?
You also still don't answer how do you know Tkachuk was going to sign here long-term when all reports were he wasn't on the list he gave Calgary? Because ... that was really critical to making a trade, no matter what allegedly worthless pieces were getting thrown in.
I'm long on record about Armstrong's tenure here, I don't think that's any secret, but I at least ground that in facts whenever possible. I don't make up scenarios about what could have happened, treat it as fact, then run with it accordingly. At least try to do the same.
