It is mind boggling really. If you go and you look at the mock drafts over at NHL.COM you will see three (here, here & here) of them which have the Blues wasting their first round pick on a goalie. I'm sorry, but what planet are these asshats living on? Are they even watching the playoffs? Who can look at the goalies plying their trade in the finals and say "You need to draft high to get anywhere in goal tending"??
Alright, fine, if the reincarnation of Patrick Roy (what? he's not dead yet?) becomes available you pick him, but A) Not even Patrick "Fucking" Roy was Patrick "Fucking" Roy when he was selected IN THE THIRD ROUND; and B) You cannot project a 17 year old kid into the NHL goalie position, period. You can select a kid that if the stars all align might have a shot, but it is simply too difficult a position mentally to expect anything more than that. If you had, by some miracle, a kid who you could project into a NHL star at that position at that age, well, then he'd be a top pick easy, and thus wouldn't be around when the Blues select 14th anyway.
If the Blues actually select a goalie at #14 I will roam around town beating the kneecaps off of little old ladies with an iron bar until I release all of my aggression. It will probably only take fifty or sixty of them, and it will all be on your heads St. Louis Blues!!
