2024-2025 Blues Multi-Purpose Thread.

Only if you share as well.

As soon as I have one

As soon as I have one

So, you’re saying you’ve never been wrong?

 

[Drubilly]

Wait! No! It couldn’t be?!?!? No one’s ever seen Xerloris and Dizzee in the same room?!!!?!?

 

[shpongle falls]

Looks like they’re going to try Snuggs with Schenn and Jake, was wondering if they would try that since Schenn and Snuggs are roomates maybe they’ll have some on ice chemistry.

Dvo-Sunny-Bolduc third line let’s go!

Dvo-Sunny-Bolduc third line let’s go!

So, they are putting Buch, Thomas and Kyrou back together? And I wonder if that Joseph turnover that led to the Jets first goal pissed off Monty? Seems he would be a better option in these crucial games to clinch than going with Dvorsky. Interesting decision.

 

[ToastedRavioli]

I like putting Kyrou back with Thomas and Buchnevich. Kyrou has struggled since Holloway got injured. He's a player that you need to surround with talent to get the most out of.

As soon as I have one

Aww, c'mon, I know you were a huge Sam Kurker fan.

 

[Xerloris]

Aww, c'mon, I know you were a huge Sam Kurker fan.

I think it's mostly because I've never been into prospects so I never watched someone and got my hopes up. I remember as kid though I thought Keenan was going to bring us a cup and I remember being really pissed that we traded Shanahan for Pronger. I still think letting Hull walk was a mistake and getting Turek was a mistake.

[Memento]

I was really really stoked for Häkänpää and Kostin. I’m still bullish on Robertsson töö.

I'm bullish on Robertsson (as well as Kaskimaki and, yes, still Alexandrov and Dean. Why? Because development of prospects is never linear, Dean could still be a solid fourth line center for the retooling stage, and I want to see what Alexandrov can do with another chance.) as well, and it's why I wouldn't hesitate on letting Joseph and others not essential to the retool go: Robertsson would've made the team if not for injury, and I think Kaskimaki and Alexandrov, in particular, are close as well.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I like putting Kyrou back with Thomas and Buchnevich. Kyrou has struggled since Holloway got injured. He's a player that you need to surround with talent to get the most out of.

I agree and disagree. I think Kyrou just needs someone who can keep up with him physically and mentally. Neighbours can't do that. Saad absolutely couldn't do that. Thomas, Buch, Holloway, and (a lot of the time) Schenn can. So putting him back with those two make sense. At least for now. I think Bolduc could have if given a chance, and Maybe Snuggerud if we wanted to put Kyrou or Snuggy on the offside.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

You weren't the only one. I loved the Bokk pick, and was also upset we dealt him for Faulk.

I also thought Brett Ponich could turn out to be someone special.

That's why I'm not a scout or have anything to do with the Blues front office.

Dude, I was excited when the Blues acquired Hannu Toivenen.

Dude, I was excited when the Blues acquired Hannu Toivenen.

Well...hey, better to be an optimist than a pessimist, am I right? Even if we were Charlie Brown with that football for so long.

Thank holy f***ing fate for 2019.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Well...hey, better to be an optimist than a pessimist, am I right? Even if we were Charlie Brown with that football for so long.

I was telling my brother all about Tom Koivisto. Oops.

 

[Memento]

I was telling my brother all about Tom Koivisto. Oops.

That had to be before my time. Born in 1991. Yes, I'm a pup, I know.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

That had to be before my time. Born in 1991. Yes, I'm a pup, I know.

I think Koivisto was early 2000s.

Yes. He played 20 sumpn games in 2002-03 and that was it.

 

[Memento]

I think Koivisto was early 2000s.

Yes. He played 20 sumpn games in 2002-03 and that was it.

Then it must've been before I got into prospects as a whole (probably 2006). Still not as eagle-eyed on hockey prospects like I am on football prospects; it's much harder to translate eighteen-year-olds, and it's why I'm not a professional scout for a hockey team (not that I'll ever be a scout for a football team either, lawl).

I lived in the same Apartment building as him in Chesterfield. He would hang his Jock strap on his patio light to dry.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

We need a confessionals threads where you guys tell us all about your terrible takes on hockey.

How would that be different from regular threads for lots of us?

 

[STL fan in MN]

I'm bullish on Robertsson (as well as Kaskimaki and, yes, still Alexandrov and Dean. Why? Because development of prospects is never linear, Dean could still be a solid fourth line center for the retooling stage, and I want to see what Alexandrov can do with another chance.) as well, and it's why I wouldn't hesitate on letting Joseph and others not essential to the retool go: Robertsson would've made the team if not for injury, and I think Kaskimaki and Alexandrov, in particular, are close as well.

I haven’t given up on these guys either but I just can’t agree with the bolded. I recall Robertsson having a better camp than what was expected of him but don’t think he was anywhere close to making the team. I recall there was people (falsely) thinking he wasn’t getting cut and was thus close to making the team but we then later found out he wasn’t getting cut because he was injured, not because he made the cut. He wasn’t sent to Springfield until a month or so into the season when he was ready to play again.

He’s had a solid AHL rookie season when he’s actually played (plagued by injuries all year) but I don’t think he was ever close to making it in camp and don’t see him as any closer today.

I still can't believe Peter Sejna didn't win a Hart Trophy.

Been thinking about all the games the Blues have managed to give up a goal late in the game to either force OT or lose in regulation. Had to go back and relive all of these, summarized for your personal viewing enjoyment.

Late game lapses have resulted in 13 less points and 7 less regulation wins.

Did you also look at the late goals the Blues made to avoid OT or tie, or how about all the OT winners? For example, the Detroit game just over a week ago. I wonder if you could have made that is just as long for all the heroic goals that stole points from the opponent.

That thought crossed my mind for sure. We definitely stole some points along the way. Probably does even out over the course of the season. Was thinking after the EDM game that we lost in similar excruciating fashion earlier this season in the last seconds of regulation which inspired this post. It was against Florida/Tkachuk.
