Crazy Time For Blues Fans

Davidson said that the three games before the deadline would determine Walt’s future here… we’ve won 2 of them, and he’s been a huge part of why.

He’s staying put, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we re-signed him or allowed him to retire a Blue.

im pretty convinced tkachuk will be staying with us. im not as convinced david perron will, however.

The Answer never gave up and ALWAYS believed even in creatine filled rages.

Famous words, “If you believe, then stand and fight”

I would not be pissed if Perron got traded. Look at him and Berglund (sp), they have stumbled when the going got hard and long (pun intended). Oshie, while hurt for a decent amount of time is playing like he is supercharged.

To me, this is an absolute result of character. Oshie will not light up the score sheets like a Perron in the future but he will be a shut down guy who’ll run over his mother to score a goal and BE CONSISTENT.

Character folks. I’ll take character until I’m blue in the dick.

I voted, “yes.” I can’t believe it, but I voted, “yes.” This team is unbelievable! I don’t know if I really feel that they’ll make it, but it’ll be close & I want the good juju out there from my & everyone else’s “yes” votes. Coach AM, just want to extend a thanks for (atleast from where we stand now) having me prepared to eat shit. The “BOP” or “Kid Line” seems to be getting coach’s message lately, which means if they tail off again, maybe they’ll understand what & why he’s doing what he’s doing & we are really getting some where then. I liked the Murray signing at first, then was starting to wonder, well this year has been so much fun. All those injuries, even before the season, and here we are. How can we be expected to go to work & school this week (with the deadline on Wed) or the following weeks with us so close, damn, if potential playoff tickets (or even just next years renewals) didn’t cost money, I’d say fuck it and stay on-line & watch the network all day for the rest of the season. LET’S GO BLUES!

Pittsburgh beats Dallas. Send out the thank you cards.

but with reason. i was one of those that buried this team back in dec. so for me, this run has been somehow more awesome because they are defying my expectations. im afraid that if i start expecting to this team to win, it will be harder if they dont. so right now, i’m saying no but hoping they prove me wrong. go blues!

no other team has so much secrecy. I have a call into Lou but Satan said he was napping. If I get confirmation I’ll post up like a mofo.

I voted they would fall short because I’m a huge pessimist

But the upside of that is that I wont be too disappointed if they don’t make it (I was expecting it) or I will be so elated that they made it in (a nice, unexpected surprise)

We get an overwhelming offer. Because I don’t think he’s that big of a clog. There’s definitely some good chemistry in the locker room and I’m a firm believer in such things. This team has caught their momentum at the right time. It’s teams like the Blues that if they hook onto a spot scare the shit out of the top teams so that an upset is almost predetermined.

This is exciting. I thought they’d make it at the beginning of the season. Then after the fifth injury I thought no way besides we didn’t have naybody stopping pucks at the time.

Think of it, if any of the goaltenders played well early on when we scoring four and five goals a game we’d be in right now. Or if we didn’t choke in those two blown lead games we’d have 67pts right now. Jesus we have to pick those games up by going on a crazy great run.

I’m still snakebit from last year when we starting selling those ticket packages back in January or whatever it was and the collapse followed shortly afterwards. We tempted fate last year and it bit us in the ass. Call me paranoid or whatever you want but I won’t mention that words in regards to our team.

Laughing stock of the league in the beginning. Then slowly they sorted their shit out and made the playoffs. The rest is history. The left the whole world shaking their heads and saying “No fucking way”.

There isn’t a deal that could be put together that would make me (and hopefully JD and Dave C.) happy.

Pros:
Pronger is a legitimate #1 defenseman. He still passes the puck well, is a physical presence in the defensive zone, and can handle the point on the power play better than any of our current defensemen.

Cons:
He would cost too much. Adding 6.25M to the team’s budget, especially in a year where the salary cap is expected to go down isn’t the smartest thing in the world. Tying up over $12M in two players on a mid-market team isn’t good economics. Expensive long-term (relatively) rental.

What Anaheim would want. Who the heck do you think Anaheim would take not named Perron and/or Pietrangelo? Just how badly to you want to drain the supply of young, inexpensive talent the team has accumulated just for a one- or two-round appearance in the playoffs?

There’s no Al MacInnis to hold him to account. When Pronger was here, they gave him the “C” to make him mature, to keep him from taking dumb penalties, and force him to be a large presence on the ice. Off the ice, the locker room “C” was clearly MacInnis. Without such an established hall-of-fame defenseman on his ass all the time to make him be better, we probably won’t get an older version of the guy who won the Hart and MVP one year. (Yes, he was THAT good that year, primarily because of the chances he broke up BEFORE they developed-it was awesome to watch.)

No, I think that for better or worse, you have to keep this bunch intact. That includes the guy that Chris D. hates, because from everything I’ve heard, he’s a big presence in the locker room because he’s an old warrior in a room full of kids and they do look up to him. So he’s not the guy who scored 50 early in his career. He’s still productive on the ice, but he’s not going to be your #1 scorer, and he’s relatively cheap.

The only change I can see this team making is if the biggest difference-maker on the team gets injured. (Name withheld due to superstition).
