2021 Blues Regular Season multi-purpose thread

Time for Doug to wrap a nice new contract in some shiny green paper with a red bow and place it under the Chief's Christmas tree.

What a great job by the coaching staff.

What? But, I could have sworn he was going to be fired by Christmas??

 

[WeWentBlues]

It's either send Brown down now or keep him up for the rest of the year. Tough call to make

They clearly responded. Looks like the injuries lit fire under this team.

He literally backstopped the Devils to the cup finals in 2012. That's pretty impressive for a guy that was toast for the previous 4 years. During the time Elliott was hurt, Allen played 10 games and Broduer played 7 but 2 were because Allen had to be pulled. I get that you seem to dislike Broduer but trying to defend the below stats by saying by the end of the year he had a 913sv% is letting him off the hook for when he was needed most. There was only a short window when Elliott was injured and neither Allen nor Broduer played like a #1 but after watching Allen shit the bed game after game they should have given Broduer a real shot. The dude was in his 40's and had no training camp and came out of basically retirement to play and put up similar if not slightly better numbers than Allen at the time and that's absolutely pathetic on Allens part.

I love brodeur, but theres a reason he wasnt signed before us and a reason he didnt pickup anywhere to finish getting his wins after us.

Allen wasngiven the shot to work outnofnhis slump because we were planning on him being our future goalie. Brodeur was past his prime and even if he did okay, we werent gonna bring back the following year. Since the blues made the playoffs anyway, starting allen didnt cost them anything and was definitely the right long term move.

Brodeur wasnt in his 20s anymore.

Now allen failed to be our long term goalie, but you still dont bench your future goalie in a slump for a guy who was unsigned and in hisn40s unless that guy is playing amazing. Thats notnhow you run a franchise. Brodeur wasnt so they stayed with allen despite the worse numbers during that stretch simce brodeurs weremt exavtly lighting the world on fire in his starts either.

Additionally, brodeur was in his 40s and as ylu said had no training camp. He probably wasnt even in shape enough at that point to handle the lions share of starts

I think due to him being on Emergency recall they have to send him down then recall him as a standard call up. So I wouldn't be surprised if the send him down then recall him.

It would just be a paperwork transaction but yes I think you are right.

 

[Frenzy31]

Waiver question. Can someone be claimed if they are called up or only sent down?

Only by being sent down. You don't go through waivers being called up.

 

[CoMoBlues]

Only by being sent down. You don't go through waivers being called up.

That’s one thing they fixed under the CBA, no re-entry waivers.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

That would suck to call up one of the young guns in the AHL only for the Blackhawks to steal him.

From what I have read, Brown has to now pass through waivers to be sent down again. Last night was his 9th game.

I believe he doesn’t require waivers until after next game.

The magic number is 10 games. He would have to clear waivers if he plays another game.

It’s ten games or 30 days. Whichever comes first.

Waivers is 10 games played.

Does his emergency callup status negate waivers? Out of sheer curiosity

No.

Thanks

I hope Chief keeps playing Lindgren. He is playing well, the team is playing well and the fans are excited.

I hope Charlie is in the net today and he continues to be good news.

Per Lou -

In their first 25 games, the Blues allowed three or more goals 18 times. In the five games since, only once, and that was a 3-2 overtime loss against Anaheim.

I'd say this is the reason why Lindgren has looked so good lately. Yes, he has played very well but the team has done a great job at limiting high-danger chances against (something Chucky has mentioned numerous times in interviews). Goalie stats are closely tied to overall team performance, which is a big reason why Lindgren's stats are so good while Binner's are only so-so. When the team was playing well earlier this year, Binner's numbers were top 10 in the league among starters.

Parayko playing like he gives a shit helps .

We can send him down prior to the 10 games and he's not subject to waivers if that was your question. Once he plays 10 games, he has to clear waivers even if he's not sent down.

Toronto and Ottawa games postponed
