Half-Assed GDT: blu vs bee

[JoshFromMO]

Love to have this guy as coach.

The rivalry between St. Louis and Nashville would be insane thanks to the hatred between Lavy

The good news is my boy Sanford is racking up tha points!

He's been a real bright spot, I was certain he would make the team in camp and it's great to see how much better he looks. He had a real nice sequence on a shift after his goal where he showed some beautiful passing and I made sure to catch his #. Looks much stronger on his skates and it shows in his board battles.

Really love Barbashev this year, he seems to understand he has to play hard every night.

Good.

Better than this "pity me I'm a Blues player" crap we have now.

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

Player really won't speak their mind as the repercussions can be tremendous. Look what happened with ROR when he spoke candidly last season about loosing his desire when the team is constantly losing games.

Yeah...they traded him to the Blues. Poor guy.

 

[Spektre]

I would never take any sort of personal joy over someone losing their job but speaking strictly professional Yeo seemed utterly clueless in the press conference. He said some koombaya mumbo jumbo but not one specific thing of substance.

Now’s the time to come together? Good luck with that Mickey Mouse rhetoric. Can they all hold hands on the ice too?

Anyone watching this team play Toronto and Winnipeg knows the talent is there. The coach can’t get out on the ice but they better know how to motivate their players and get the most from them.

Benching Dunn for two games seems to have motivated him. That wasn’t the plan. He was benched because he made a mistake and it cost the Blues 1 point. Dunn has played excellent since returning to the lineup. He’s then rewarded by the coach by sitting most of a pivotal 3rd against the Jets for Bouwmeester.

My personal preference, honestly, would be the Blues lose every game and draft Hughes. We all know that’s not what the Blues organization wants. If the Blues could get Hughes and change the goalie situation I think they would be an elite team for the next 5+ years. I’m assuming a different coach as well. I don’t have any confidence any of that will happen but that’s my dream scenario.

I fully expect Yeo to get fired very soon. I just don’t know who Army will trust to run the show.

Great coaches make a difference. Just ask Bill Belechick and he'll show you his five rings.

Fire Yeo. Buy out Bouwmeester. Trade Allen (for a six-pack of beer). Strip the C from "the leader".

 

[simon IC]

Can we package Steen with Bouwmeester? I mean, who can resist a 2 for 1 sale on slow overpaid declining players?

Neither one is slow.

 

[simon IC]

We still have the best forum on this board....so there's that.

edited...and probably drunkest?

Cheers!

 

[Mafisen]

Imagine an organization spending to the cap and getting this. Wow. Just wow.

 

[simon IC]

Dear Lord. Just got home and ... (sigh). I have the game recorded, but I don't know if I have the heart to watch it. GDT is going to be an interesting read.

I'm down with chucking JayBo; his career is done.

I'd bench Jake and start Chad right now. Jake has the ability to make any backup on the same roster as him turn into an Elite Starter and steal his job.

I'm ok with taking the C from Pie even though Pie isn't the problem and he can't do much when your coaching is an absolute dumpster fire. The question is, who do you give it to? I'm not seeing anyone on the roster worthy of the C beyond Steen and even then...

Meh, ROR wouldn't be a bad choice.

I'd give it to Edmundson.

Both are good choices. My main point of my previous post was that I really don't see taking the C from Pie unless we switched coaches and got more of the same from him.

Now if we could just find a way to start video taping other teams practices...

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

its embarrassing ... have some pride ffs .... we got beat the * * * *

 

[Lord Helix]

Yeo right now:

 

[542365]

We actually have the highest payroll in the league, though obviously not by much with the cap in place. I’d be rather pissed if I was Stillman. You know he’s as frustrated as anyone with how passionate he is about the team.

 

[Stealth JD]

as bad as the Blues are relative to their payroll...at least they're not the Wings of the past few years.

The way things are going, just give it time.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Why isn't AV the new coach yet?

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I don’t see any path forward where Yeo doesn’t get fired, it’s just a matter of how much longer. They could maybe swing a deal to change goalies, but it will probably cost painful assets. Husso coming into this right now seems detrimental to his future. If calling up Husso becomes the big move, I really think Armstrong has lost his way.

The Chicago game has to be it. Either he wins and keeps his job or he loses and is done.

I'm sure Armstrong has been on the phone with several possible replacements and has gauged their interest in the job.

There's 4 days off after Chicago. Perfect time to switch up.

Army is already showing mercy by giving Yeo one more game. If anything, Army has to give Yeo one more game so the next coach isn't always looking over his shoulder for a quick axe. Makes the job more desirable to better coaches.
