If the Blues do well in Playoffs, who looks Worse Army or ASOGG?

If Blues do well in playoffs, who looks worse, Army or yours truly (ASOGG)?

Army wanted to trade away the Blues Captain at the trade deadline, and would have done so if Schenn had agreed to it. Seiously, what GM would trade away their Captain if they thought a CUP was even remotely possible?

If we do well in the Playoffs, will you all agree with me that Army has to go because of poor talent evaluation? You are stuck with me forever unfortunately.

Go Blues.

[Barney Fife Lives]

Yes - the guy who stole Broberg and Holliday should go for possibly making one of his top assets available to other teams willing to pay.

Just stop with your nonsense.

Ok, I'll bite:

1. Not sure why you're using the word "we" above. There is no "we" when you are concerned.
2. You always have looked worse, and Army's moves since last season only magnify that by 1,000.
3. Doesn't matter how we do in the playoffs, you and your epic takes will always look worse than anything Army has ever done or will ever do.

Looks worse?
You


You and your negative energy, complaining and nastiness.

Blues are the best team in the NHL currently and you arent happy.
Its not about hockey. Its not about The Blues. Its not about Army.
Its about you buddy. You are always negative.

[a smell of green grass]

Nobody will be more positive than me if the facts point that way.

That said, I have been harsh regarding the team, and if they do well in the playoffs, I will leave you all to your good senses and sanity. I promise to leave BluesTalk forever, and just watch the games and shut up. I'm just a drag on this place if that's the case.

I have to recommend, however, that you demand the same from Army. If our GM can't see how good the team really is, and since he was ready to give up on them at the trade deadline, then his talent evaluation skills are not nearly sufficient.

My dream scenario...
The Blues do well, and Army leaves town, and I leave BluesTalk.

[sdaltons]

The guy who gave his vet leader an opportunity to win a Cup and then saw his team rally when said leader declined?

Or the guy who twists every single thing done by the first guy to fit a certain narrative?

Hmm let me think...

[imyourhuckleberry]

Army directly addresses the issue of shopping Schenn in the interview linked in this post from earlier today.

viewtopic.php?t=1510568

His logic was sound, and it obviously didn't adversely affect the team in any way.

In summary, you already look worse. A deep playoff run just digs your hole deeper.

Them saying they'll leave if the Blues "do well" reminds me of Trollin stating he would eat crow if Broberg "did well" but not offering any indication of what criteria would be used to determine how "well" he had done.

Basically allowing him to leave open whatever outcome for future twisting.

If Broberg gets 30 points, he would have needed 35. Or it needed to be +10 instead of +5.

If the Blues lose in the second round, it will have needed to be the 3rd, etc.

Love the third person tactic.

I'm sure he wishes there was a third person he could be.

"What GM would trade away their Captain if they thought a CUP was even remotely possible?"


A GM who would let the team know that he will do anything to get them playing up to their potential. (And possibly have agreement from the Captain, that something absolutely had to be done)

You're exactly right. I just put this dude on ignore; good grief is he insufferable. He really needs to drop the shovel; that hole he's in is getting really deep!

Go Blues.

So if Army puts together a team capable of making a deep cup run when we were all expecting a few rebuilding years that to you is evidence of a lack of talent evaluation? Because he considered trading one player away it undoes the fact that he put the rest of the roster together? Seriously that's your point?

Insanity isn't it? The implication that if the Blues do well in the playoffs, Army may look worse ... ???

For the record...
I never thought Broberg would be bad. In fact, I assumed that he would be great. A team that drafted McDavid and Draisitl is VERY LIKELY to have more great draft talent.

If the Blues win more than 1 game in the playoffs, I will exit.

I also believed that Army DID try to trade Schenn, and many told me that I was crazy for believing that. Now we all know that it happened.

This attempted trade of Schenn by Army told you 2 things about Army...
1) He doesn't know talent -- IF THE BLUES DO WELL IN THE PLAYOFFS.
2) He is just fine with forcing a guy out with a NTC--even if he is the Captain. Army is ruthless, but he comes across as Mr Gentile...blowing kisses to players on the way out the door.

What is worse?
a) A GM that believes and publicly says that the team is great, and they flop.
b) A GM that believes and publicly says the team is a flop, and they do great.

I'll take A all day, every day. A GM that doesn't even know how good the talent is that he is sitting on is worthless.
