Yup. Dont listen to the guy who has dedicated his life to the topic, listen to your gut. Captain Hindsight is always right, too bad he is never around when he is needed. This whole you can argue with doctors and scientist bull**** is frustrating. It inhibits any sort of meaningful conversation. Not necessarily here, but as a whole philosophy.
only if you truly value rutherford's summation of what is already knownYou've to pay for it?
Have there been any updates on Steen or Bouwmeester?
Nothing official but the original timeline the Blues released on both indicated they wouldn’t be re-evaluated for a few more days yet.
There’s been plenty of reports of Steen skating and stickhandling though. I would guess his thumb fracture was rather minor, probably just a hairline fracture. I haven’t heard about Bouw though. Not sure what his injury was but I haven’t heard of him skating so maybe it was more lower body, which would prevent him from skating.
It's amazing. One preseason and now our forward depth is ABYSMAL. I don't know that we are a playoff team at this point.
Sobotka - Stastny - Tarasenko
Schwartz - Schenn - Jaskin
Pääjärvi - Sundqvist - Thompson
Upshall - Brodziak - Thorburn
E: Barbashev, Megan
Edmundson - Pietrangelo
Gunnarsson - Parayko
Dunn - Bortuzzo
Extra: Prosser
It's not like losing Fabbri was a season killer last season. So I guess that means the real differences in the Blues being in or out of the playoffs are losing Jori Lehtera and Ryan Reaves.
Or maybe, just maybe it's worrisome because the only reason there was such a turnaround is because we went from having the worst to the best goaltending in the league and Allen carried us through that final stretch. Now, Allen has cooled off and we're missing Steen who's a very good player, on a team that already lacks top six talent and Berglund who's critical for our already inept center core, so yes there is a reason to worry.It's not like losing Fabbri was a season killer last season.

I must have missed his stats so far this season, mind linking me to them?Now, Allen has cooled off

Jesus Christ I forgot how much the persistent pessimism of Blues fans annoys me. We lost Fabbri. Steen'll be back soon. We knew about Berglund. All it takes is one of our plethora of young talents to step up and fill the void. Or maybe Sobotka is more of a top 6 guy now. Or maybe Stastny has a good year finally. Maybe Schenn fits in perfectly between Schwartz and Tarasenko.
But nah, obviously we're not even a playoff team right now.
Allen has looked like ****; pretend the preseason games haven't happened all you want.

I never believed us to be the best in the division and I do still think we're playoff bound. However, why some might be very anxious about this situation isn't completely unreasonable.

according to them though our season is doomed because allen didnt get 40 save shutouts in his preseason games.Preseason stats don't mean anything. Most of the time, the team playing in front of you is full of guys that won't be on the team.
