Hate To Hate Brad Boyes

This one isn’t even close for me…..why this fucktard continues to get 25 minutes a game and is on the ice at the most crucial situations is a huge lapse in judgement by the Blues coaching staff. And he collects $4.5M a year for this display. Pitiful, simply pitiful.

Every time he’s on the ice all I can think is he’s not trying hard enough. No idea why, I guess I just think he should plant that huge body in front of the goalie and he’s over on the wall picking his nose.

I think Boyes will have a much better season. Will it be 40 goals, I don’t think so but maybe 30. I’ll keep my reasoning to myself on this male dominated board!

Brad Boyes…(This is only his 3 full seasons)

2007–08 St. Louis Blues NHL 82 games 43 goals 22 assists 65 points. ATOI: 17:57
2008–09 St. Louis Blues NHL 82 games 33 goals 39 assists 72 points. ATOI: 19:08
2009–10 St. Louis Blues NHL 82 games 14 goals 28 assists 42 points. ATOI: 16:47

In those three years he is an overall 19 +/. He was a -1 in ’07-08, and a -20 in ’08-09 and last season was a 0.

I definitely wish he could get back to his ’07, ’08 and beginning of ’09 numbers as well.

- More commonly known as the most useless player on the team.

Sasha Khavanov as LFP.
Some of it’s in his name. Most of it’s because of his play.

Martin Rucinsky as 2nd LFP.
Dr. Hook himself.

He literally has ONE thing going for him – his size – and he doesn’t even know how to use it! To me, he’s nearly as useless to the Blues as Nick Stavinoa is to the Cardinals. Almost.

I really hope Boyes steps up his game this year. Ever since the lock out, I’m getting really tired of players who show such great potential one year, and then mail it in the next one or two until their asses are shown the door.

Also, are there paper editions of the GT for the preseason? I haven’t gotten any emails about it or whatever.

but, I can’t. Outside the occasional fight in which he usually just holds on to the other guy and waits for his opponent to throw a punch so he can do the same but it never comes because his opponent is smart and Winchester is dumb . . . the fucker is worthless. That being said, he was slightly better than worthless in ‘08-’09. If he has a season like that again, I’ll take him off the LFP track . . . if only temporarily.

All-time LFP? Probably a three-way draw between the vaunted “Three Russians”, comprised of Vitali Prokhorov, Vitali Karamnov and Igor Korolev. Korolev, to his credit, was SEMI-successful after he was a Blue Note, but that included a stint with (GASP) the Blackhawks, which downgrades him even more. Anyway, this has more to do with expectations than it does actual play – I think EVERYONE expected a shitload more out of these three than what we were treated to.

But I’m an eternal optimist, don’t listen to me.

Current LFP: Barrett Jackman – any time Jackman goes into the corner, in both offensive and defensive zones, you KNOW the puck will be sliding through the goal crease.

All-time LFP: So many to choose from, but I’ve got to go with Roman Turek. The frustration we saw with Chris Mason last year is as nothing to the “omigawd I can’t believe he did that” Turek dished out to the fans for (was it really only) 2 years

I’m gonna get flamed for this, but if he was still here DJ King would be my LFP. Is there a better example of a one-dimensional player whom the game has passed by than Mr. Hands O’Glass???

and i have faith that this will be a huge year for him.

my LFP? I don’t have one. I feel like having a least fave would be detrimental to my mission of sending as much positive energy toward that team as possible. Sometimes I even cross my fingers and squint so hard that I nearly shit myself. Too much info? Too much info.

He won’t be playing in the NHL for sure, but I had to watch his goofy ass last night. That guy is how old and he has got no skill? I should try out for the Blues after watching that guy. I’m sure to make the training camp roster.

On the “for sure” NHL roster, Jackman and Brewer. Terrible. LFPs4Life.

With Cajanek as my all-time LFP. The guy had talent… he just didn’t care enough to use it.

Current LFP would have to be Winchester. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so large be such an unimposing presence. You’d think a guy his size would be knocking people over like bowling pins, and fighting to win the one-on-one battles in the corner, but it just never seems to happen.

for all time LFP has to go to Chris McAlpine: it seemed like the other team was just constantly walking around him effortlessly. Honorable mention though to Lalime

PATRICK BERGLUND…this guy has so much talent it’s sinful ( think PERRON ). To think that this guy may be playing in Europe in a couple years & completely forgotten in the NHL is a joke. He doesn’t put out the effort ( he admitted that last year ) & at times hasn’t got a clue. This guy should score 30+ goals & 70+ pts. He and Boyes should be a powerful # 1 line, instead, they DO look like those puppies sliding around the kitchen.

This does pertain to current team. EVER….geee..Brewer…….Jackman….naaa….brewer…..Berglund…….GET IT. If the Blues aren’t a legit playoff team this year JD a Co. should just resign.

And I’m certainly not ready to give up on Berglund. So both of them are out.

My pick would probably be Brad Winchester, as I will admit I don’t understand the point of re-signing him. It was the only move this off-season I didn’t like.

The horrible lumbering oaf, that was: Jim Campbell. I could not stand the kid, and for some reason Mike Keenan loved him. Ughhhhh. LFP of all time.
