Post-Game Talk: I’ve got the blues…

[egelband]

Good to see Lavi reward the young guys like Cuylle and Berard at the end of the game

That really burned me up. After the kids got them back in the game… out come the doublemint twins to pass the puck to each other inconsequentially for two minutes to the delight of The Blues and their fans.

Fire this fat oaf. Doesn’t know puck and I guarantee was a bender in his heyday

I’m sure it’s already been said but my thing is that yes Kakko absolutely blows. He’s just never going to break out, at least not here but the fact that he was basically the fall guy for this mess speaks volumes about the organization.

Lavi and Drury don’t have the courage (or the brains) to do what actually needs to be done so they take a younger, quieter guy, who’s a bust and they go “hey look everyone we’re holding this team accountable.” When in fact they are not and never will.

I'm not even kidding, my wife was next to me and said she married me because I'm loyal and won't leave no matter how bad it gets

You're a good man, Will. I used to cheat on the Rangers and go to Islanders and Whalers games back in my yoot

This game reinforced everything wrong with this franchise and the coach.

It doesn’t matter how well you play, it doesn’t matter if you score a big goal, it doesn’t matter how hard you try, if you’re a young player you will never be rewarded for your contributions. Scored a game winning goal? You’ll be scratched a few games later. Score some goals to get back in the game? Take a seat while the Vets fumble around on the ice. Forecheck hard and draw a penalty? Maybe you’ll get the last few seconds of a PP, but you’ll never get on that first unit.

Blues will take Kakko… what are you looking for in return?

Is Sammy Blais and a 2nd round pick available?

 

[Mike in Houston]

Fresh legs my ass.

 

[Jim Ramsay]

How bout take some of the 'old legs' out for a game? Im sick of this whole entire thing

While it seems Lav has turned into a moron this season, I am more disgusted with what I am seeing from most of these players. Total lack of of effort and urgency.

I am actually sad to see Sams last season is going to go down this way.

I know its not on the players radar, but I feel bad for hard working people that try and scrape some dollars together to take their family to go see this garbage on ice. Im disgusted to be a fan of this team. These players think they are giving a big F U to management, but its also an slap in the face to the fans

Pathetic

nope. try again. is reading comprehension a problem for you?

I said that the results, as in the teams results, would barely be any different with Guentzel on the team, playing with Zibanejad. maybe we would have 2 or 3 more wins or something? Guentzel has 10 even strength goals (playing with better players than he would here) and Smith has 6, there's an objective metric for you. it would do nothing to help any of the major problems this team has.

and then I said that Smith has been fine for what he is, in that he is a player we got off the scrap heap that doesn't have a huge cap hit. he's on a 40 point pace, that seems fine to me? is that an objective enough metric for you?

This is what you actually posted. If you posted an incomplete thought then that's on you, dont come firing at me about reading comprehension:

"Guentzel on the ice stapled to Mika with this same garbage defense? the results would barely be different. Smith has been absolutely fine for what he is."
