Yeah  the blues are the same as always though
Making it to the playoffs but going nowhere

We need a top player who can score a lot and lead our offense
Our defense is plenty good. And penalty kill
If we just had one or two more really good scorers i think we would have a good chance at it.
But until then we just have an all around average team with the same outcome every yr


Blues are above average. Whatchu talkin about.

Stellar defense, goaltending when healthy.

You don't have a sole goal scorer, but you have some clutch players. Also your defense can force plays in offensive zone due to confidence in goaltending.

Yeah This team would be dangerous with a good goal scorer. They don't really have any. Yeah they have good goaltending and defense but that won't win you a cup.

Gonna give credit where credit is due... The blues have an amazing team. Their fore-check is a mother fuckn beast. Not to mention their defense? They out played the kings game 6. Just lacked goals.

exactly

i was telling that to some of my die hard hockey friends the last few days, and they were looking at me like i was saying elliot sucks


elliot is a good goalie, but hes not quick

hes not near as sound as quick nor consistent, and for sure doesnt come out of his net enough.

nothing against him tho, he played pretty well, just not well enough.


yeah we woulda been a bigger impact if we had halak in net.

Or a couple of people who could actually put the puck in the net :\ not talking shit. Blues are super strong. just need some finishers.

From a neutral view.

Blues lack offense and ability to score.

i agree. we have all the cap space needed, along with plenty of prospects.

we could make a move for a top line scorer if we felt like it.

this offseason will be interesting.

i would KILL for a kopitar, richards, or carter... nothing against our hard working team, but each of those 3 players have more skill than anyone on the blues.

I hope we do pick up a goalscorer in the offseason, I just don't know the extent of what I'd be willing to give up
Never Pietrangelo, Steen, Schwartz nor Tarasenko are ever for trade iMo

nah

we need to get rid of a goalie regardless (prolly allen unfortunately...) and we have alot of depth. pietro, schwartz, and tarasenko im almost certain wouldnt go, along with ty ratti, sobotka, and backes

anyone else id say is movable.
