2024-2025 Blues Multi-Purpose Thread.

I know I know. I've listened to that clip like 20 times and I still can't make out what Benn said to Schenn before giving him a boost.

I think he said “I got you [indiscernible]” - definitely heard “I got you”

 

[Linkens Mastery]

One of my critiques of Kyrou is how his production can be inconsistent. In his last 21 games, he has 18 points (11g/7a) and points in all, but 4 games. And 14 of his points are during even-strength. This is what we want from him. Game to game consistency with both goals and assists.

Agreed. Also since October he hasn't gone more than a game without registering a point. He had two streaks in October of three games each.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Only 18 points in the last 21 games? Loser bum.

Sounds like he said "I got you, Jim Beam." Drinking buddies?

Duchene said after the game that Schenn is friends with a lot of the guys in Dallas and that they all had a good laugh about it.

Those two in particular are very close.

How dare he. TRADE HIM! TRADE THE TRAITOR!

Dallas is the only team, other than maybe Utah, in our division that I would not need to throw up in my mouth if they won

 

[BlueMed]

Regarding Kyrou, he has played 10 games under Monty and has 7 goals, 2 assists, and a +2 in that time frame. I would like to see a few more assists, but his goal scoring is much needed on a team without a "true sniper."

if he plays with Thomas, Thomas passes the puck right back to him and if he plays with Schenn, Schenn has really good shot but he is having a bad year so far on his shooting %, so Kyrou might as well just shoot for now

I mean, he's one of only two players on the team that actually shoot the puck. I think him and Holloway make up about 20-30% of all shots that Blues take

Their coach is a crybaby bitch.

DeBoer is one of the few coaches I actively despise, seeing him lift the cup would not be fun to watch.

Based on Lehner’s allegations, I sense that you’re not the only one who despises him.

What did Lehner say?

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

What did Lehner say?

He had long rant on twitter. He clearly isn’t well, but most damning part was that he and Vegas had plan and Deboer would disregard it and intentionally trigger him.

Dom at the Athletic had something positive to say about the Blues & Parayko this morning:

16. Cam Fowler trade

It’s difficult to judge any player on Anaheim over the last couple of years — the system seems to be failing the players and there’s a culture of losing that’s surely taking its toll.

That makes St. Louis’ play for Cam Fowler an interesting one. Skill set-wise, he seems like an excellent fit next to Colton Parayko as someone with experience playing tough minutes who can move the puck. Value-wise, the bottom did seem to fall off for the 33-year-old defender last year and he only fell further to start this season. Over the last two years in Anaheim, the Ducks have been outscored 89-44 with Fowler on the ice with just 44 percent of expected goals — both well below team average, which says a lot given the strength of the Ducks. Not even accounting for his tough usage could save those numbers.

Was that the sign of the end for Fowler or simply the sign of his end in Anaheim?

That’s the big question that made trading for Fowler a big risk, one the Blues obviously felt comfortable with. Fresh starts have the ability to rejuvenate players and we’re seeing that with a strong start from Fowler. It’s only been three games, but so far Fowler and Parayko have been excellent together with 55 percent of shot attempts and 66 percent of expected goals.

Here’s hoping it continues — both players deserve to finally play with a dependable partner and it would be cool to see them find it in each other.

 

[TheOrganist]

There was no “big risk” at all to the deal. It was a smart, short term transaction.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

 

[PocketNines]

I recall that guy! Way too slow

 

[joe galiba]

Either Leddy is close and he is a place holder or Perunovich has separated himself from Kessel and they want Kessel playing lots of minutes rather than be in the press box regularly

 

[Xerloris]

I could have gone a lot longer not seeing Tucker with the team again.

 

[LGB]

Tucker is still young and has been good in Springfield. Could easily see him being better than POJ.

Tucker is less than a year younger than POJ. His skating has shown to be limiting at the NHL level and it has not improved to my eye since we last saw him.

That's not to say he is better or worse than POJ, lest someone continue the narrative that I am a big POJ Stan. It's more to say, keep your hopes for Tucker in check. He's a depth D who needs to play a smart/safe game because he cannot skate his way out of mistakes. That's never likely to change but could be useful in a limited role

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Is it possible Joseph asked for a trade for more opportunity? Just seems like an trade only to bring Tucker up.

 

[PocketNines]

It's just stupid for Dom to say the Fowler acquisition was "a big risk." Slow bus Hawk blogger
