whats it gonna take for this team to put 60min of hard effort out there?

i dont get it, its like we have to be down by multiple goals before we realize "oh shit, this ones getting away from us, lets try harder now."



please for the love of god, sit lehtera and put pajaarvi back in. lehtera is too damn slow to hang in the series and too weak to hold his ground.




and id love to see our forwards not get sucked down so hard in the offensive zone so much. obviously leaving their point men wide open isnt working, so we should attempt some other strategy.

pls blues, im not ready for the offseason.




and sit slow ass lehtera for the love of god.

few hours left then you rip for the summer

pressure will be all on the preds if we can win this one.


wont be easy though, gotta get more bodies in front of the net.

Do or die time.

Was a fun season/series/playoffs. Feels like we got gimped by front office though.

good series over all; i was glad to see the blues play much better over their last 3 games than they did the first 3.

They really pushed nashville and if it wasnt for how bad the combination of our PP and PK were, we may have had enough to move on. Oh well, someone has to lose though.

Next season could be the year with a few needed moves:


1. move lehtera and that ridiculous contract armstrong gave him - package a 1st with him to vegas. hes a major hindrance on the ice and drags everyone around him down, and on top of that, hes making 5mil a season.
2. go HARD for a top 6, preferably top line center - i understand you gotta give to get, and we only have a few untouchables. but since we cant develop our own top line center, we have to do something. if we cant get a top center, we at least need another top 6 center to pair with stastny.
3. go HARD for a #3-4 defensemen - pietro and bouwmeester are our top line, parayko is our 2/3, but he needs someone to pair with him that brings more offense and mobility to the game than edmundson. I love what edmundson brings to the table, and hes a #5 that is physical and can shut a line down, but he isnt a guy that can be trusted to help provide offense and puck movement.

Other than that, the rest of it just rests on jake allen. He clearly has the physical tools to be a top 5 goaltender and workhorse in this league. the only thing stopping him is himself. I look forward to seeing his development.


A healthy fabbri, a full year of Yeo implementing his system, and an upgrade at top 6 center, and this team will be one of the top teams in the west again next year.

Good series dudes.
Any series that goes 6 or 7 is hotly contested. after game 1 yeo found a way to stifle our first line real hard. it was totally second and third line matchups And special teams that got the preds by.

Given that you guys were sellers at the deadline, second round is pretty great for a transition year haha

yea, on paper we dont exactly look like a cup contending team, but we were pretty underrated. Special teams was the death of us against the preds.

hearing alot of talk on the radio and internet about how the blues need to target bonino. Really? do these guys not see that were drowning in 3rd line centers as it is? berglund, sobotka, lehtera, brodziak, barbashev, and the short term bandaids steen, fabbri, and sanford arent enough for you there?

we need a top 6 center! a sure-fire top 6 center that brings offense to the table. A tyler johnson or derek stepan if were talking a 1a/1b/2 center kinda guy, or a top line center (we all know who they are in the league).
