Bitch

The easy comment here is Matt Cooke. Growing up I loved the Pens second to the Blues. Family lol. Now, I say Fuck the Pens. Crosbitch and the Cookiecunt. That's right, cunt (no actual offense intended to those who are offended by the word). Dirty hockey the way Philly loved it back in the day. But not real hockey, there used to be hard fucking open ice hits that didn't involve the head. It was called a hip check. A man named Jamie Rivers new how to throw them. Jamie fucking Rivers. The last of the open ice hitters not named Oshie fucking up people not looking legally.

We have a good team, though we are not unlike the team that drafted Stemp as the Blues savior. Sure we will use our 6th overall pick (ideally) for a dman, but we will at least get Jaden and Tara for the next season to replace Crack and Ports. I wish Port could be as good as a bad wine, but shit, lets be serious. Crack is just that good. Good enough to make the lineup, but seriously, does anyone outside of an addict really want to do it?

Defense? Still not worried here. Pietr is the man, hopefully not hurt passed next season. Shat or the Captain or the Kirk or the Shattner Kirk is looking really good. Coli made a non appearance, oh well.

My last point, play Allen. Shit it doesn't matter. Bishop and Pietr got their tryouts way ahead, why not see if he doesn't get fucked up at the NHL level. If he does, don't we have some Russian goalie that is looking to get over here without playing in the minors? From what I hear the guy is good and ready to play, but fuck the Russians right? I mean we have been doing that in St. Louis since Khavanov, who would have been good as a rookie in this day and age, but fucked ass in his. So bring up Allen, give Conks the day off, he will have many after this year anyway.

If Allen gets lit up in the NHL it's going to screw his development

Just sayin’

I would be absolutely shocked...

If we see the Schwartz in a Bluenote next year.

I agree in a way

I don’t think Schwartz will be in a Bluenote next year, but it would be nice to see him in one. I read that he will contemplate turning pro over the summer. I would guess he gets a tryout, but moves to Peoria if he decides to do so. I am just starting to think that our minor leaguers are getting burned out/comfortable playing at a lower level. Pietr made it work great and stayed motivated, but he is one of few to play several years in the lower systems and come up to be good, ie Porter and Crack. I don’t think getting lit up will screw Allen though, give him a taste, let him know what it will take to be productive here. All mistakes are just opportunities to learn.

Did Pietr play in Peoria?

I know he spent most of his time in Juniors with a few games in the Bluenote. If I remember correctly he was told to learn to dominate the Juniors before he came back. He always knew he would be a top tier player on the team, he just had to learn how. Do you think anyone else is getting that message. With the injuries and other bad luck things(Fuck you Hockey Gods) most of the prime time players that are not quite ready for prime time are not here because the Blues wanted them to be.

Let Schwartz and Tarasenko play for a while in the minors. The former for a better understanding of the professional demands and the later to learn the North American Game.

This team has a lot of growing up to do. Like the article itself, I think I wandered away from my point. I will just shut up now.

ps

I still think Halak is our number 1. When our defense cleans up the rebounds he is stellar. The D needs to be aware of that and keep him supported.

Hey guys whatchadoin'?

I’m a well-formed idea. I was edited with care. What did I miss since I just got here two seconds ago?

Let's Go Blues!

This is your brain...

…and the above is your brain on alcohol at 2:38 in the morning following a tough loss to a good goaltender and a decent team.

Lol just so you know

I work at a hospital until around midnight, so 2:38 in the morning is much like 6pm for normal folks. It wasn’t even a tough loss, it was an expected one. I was just stating my hopes on the future and the easy frustration to have with players in the Matt Cooke style of play. It just pisses me off when the comments on this website ebb like the bandwagon fans in a few other choice cities.
