Wow you're really going out on a limb with this post. I never would have considered the fact that a top 5 pick would be better than one around 14th or so. Problem is this team isn't bad enough to pick in the top 5.
Some of ya'll find a way to be negative even after the most exciting win of the year. That was a hell of a fun game to watch, but if we had lost it would have been devastating. Can't let these chicken Hawks ruin our Christmas!

if the Blues had lost that game it would have been "devastating" lol ok
there is zip that's devastating besides the total lack of vision for the team's future in this drifting miasmic soup of middling filler

Pro sports is becoming predictable and boring
One unconventional "take" from last night and some previous games is that Kappy is doing the right things, playing hard, and just coming up unlucky. He's had some great scoring chances recently and he seems to exude speed and skill. I hope he gets rewarded. I hope the coaching staff sees what I see.
It's been hit or miss for most of the season, but I'm hoping he can continue this current stretch

Thank you. You are right. That shows there are elite players outside the top 5, but they are hard to get.

It wasn't my statement so I am not responsible for the wording. And the sentiment behind the statement was we need to lose to get a better draft pick to have a better chance of getting a high impact player. It's pretty clear he wasn't saying you can't get a great player at 14.
I don't want to see the team intentionally losing either. But that doesn't mean I will celebrate when we snatch a lower draft pick out of the jaws of a higher one.
Just responding to the previous post that didn't go out on any limbs either.. Who would have ever considered there are good players available at 14. We have a better chance at getting a better player if we lose. That is obvious.
This team just nearly lost to the team that is tied in points with the Sharks for worst in the league. The sharks are one of the worst teams ever, and Chicago is tied for them in last. We nearly lost to a team with a goalie that is 2-11-1 with a 4.15 GAA. Chicago is awesome and it took a monster 3rd period comeback. If they have a NHL golaie, even a back up level one, we lose that game., So how are we too good to be bad? We have been extremely blessed on the injury front. We are an injury to Binningon, PArayko or the first line to being worthless.
The Hawks are going to ruin a lot of holidays for us in the future when they have Celebrini and Bedard in their primes, and we still can't find a true #1D.
They don't ask how, they ask how many.

Yeah, we’re just not good enough to expect a playoff run and not bad enough to expect to draft top 3. Have to hope we can squeak in and get some first round playoff money. Obviously, worst outcome is missing the playoffs by a point. And damn the Hawks for likely drafting top 3 AGAIN.

Kyrou has 8 points in 5 games since Bannister took over. 26 SOG too without a substantial increase in ice time. I hated hearing all of the boo’s, but maybe it got him locked back in. Over 5 shots per game is crazy.

Love the post of Binny’s joke about it considering the win, but gotta agree with JK that was the most incredible goal I’ve ever seen. Don’t hate the player, good for the game!

Not sure if this is real or photo shopped. But Avs fans on reddit are getting a kick out of it. Eyes wide shut.

Avs fans on reddit get a kick out of a set of keys jangling in their face.
"Avs fans on reddit". I dare you to name a lower set of sub-humans.

Murderers? Rapists? Child molesters? Blues fans at Enterprise who boo'd Kyrou.. I can name a lot worse.
That’s fine if they find it funny but it makes it pretty obvious they have never played the game. When a stick comes that close to your face it is just a natural reaction to do that. But again, it’s Reddit so that alone confirms they don’t have much experience playing sports.

I mean obviously. That doesn't make it any less funny of a screen grab. It's like when your video freezes on a zoom call and your making a funny face. Nobody's like "omg what a loser" but everyone still chuckles. Tha Avs fans were being mean, but that doesn't mean we can't chuckle a bit at the pic. We won in the end
He was in the Reverse VH. Eyes open or closed don't matter. That position leaves the top of the goal open. If the player is skilled enough and more importantly if the D lax enough to give him time, he scores a billion times out if a billion against any goalie in the world with all level of open eyes. So eyes open/ closed doesn't matter. It's just a funny pic.

How is it Bush league? It's a high skilled and perfectly legal play. The Blues should have made a stain out of him, or at least put some pressure on him BEFORE the goal. Hitting him after he scores is the Bush league move IMO.

Fun headline, just furthers the"Blues are a dirty head hunting team" narrative
100% agree. You don’t like guy scoring in that fashion, don’t let him score that goal. Going all dale hunter on him after he scores is just a real crappy move.
