They showed up and showed up strong.
What you said.

Stankoven and the no English, less than ten nhl games played Nikishin were a couple of very poised kids.
All the hustle and giving up of bodies…

The Panthers missed their three injured comrades, but they played like they were not in a hurry to get into the Stanley Cup Finals.

Two of the next three are in Carolina.

While I love Binnington, and I don't want to trade him, I don't see the Blues winning a Cup anytime soon on the current trajectory.

The Canes have great prospects, and draft choices.

I'd try to make a trade to inject more young talent into the team. However, I would not give BInnington away. If we can't get a lot for him, I would be very happy to keep him.
If you were going to trade Binnington, that time was two years ago when they were in a rebuild. Makes no sense now with the Blues on the verge of entering their cup contender window.

What would be your ask
An exceptional player at any position. If an unproven but highly-regarded prospect, I'd want 2 of them and a high draft pick.
Linus ullmark was a vezina winner and all he got was a 1st round pick. Most goalies cant even retrieve that so youd be getting a 1st at most.

Also canes problem isnt goaltending. It has been shaky this series, but before that they were getting best goaltending. In playoffs.

Canes problem isnthey just cant generate more offense. They need to win all their games 2-1 or 1-0. 3-2 at most. So if they make a mistake and fall behind, they dont know how to press effectively when playing from behind leading to more mistakes and a spiral. Because they arent gonna win high scoring ahootouts with people cuz they play the most bland boring and vanilla hockey there is.

Are they really that close? It would be more accurate to say that they have begun their chase for 2 scoring lines, a 2C, a RHD, and a solution for 6on5.

Or as Armstrong calls it, they are entering their chase for "5% better".

They are close. If Hollaway was healthy we could have made a longer run

Let's take smelly to school. 96 x 1.05 = 100.8, rounds to 101 points. Of the four finalists only Dallas had more points! That's right, Oilers had 101 and FLORIDA only had 98.

So, that's what 5% REALLY means. It's not the number that counts, it's the company you keep.

Blues could have should have knocked off the President's Trophy team. The Blues are a contending team if they don't screw things up for themselves and the key players stay reasonably healthy.

Some are having a difficult problem seeing the forest from the trees.

Facts:
1) The regular season should never be mistaken for a playoff season.
2) There is a lot of parity in the NHL regular season. Year-in, year-out, the difference between the winningest and the losingest is 40% vs 60%. Almost every team is hovering around 50%.
3) Douglas Army gave us a REGULAR SEASON GOAL to aim it, not a PLAYOFF SEASON GOAL. Hmmm. Why is that?

People believe that I am a naysayer, but what is the truth? The truth is that I'm telling you nothing different than what Army is telling you. Never forget. ASOGG is Army's sock puppet on Blues Talk. Did you see Army's public blowup in early February? Did you adjust your helmet accordingly? Army told you to do that.

What the future holds... When Army tells you that we should win the Lord Stanley's Cup, so will his sock puppet, ASOGG.

The Canes HAVE a Goalie now.

With 2 of the last three games in their house, I think we will see some kind of repeat of last year's see-saw battle in the Cup Final.
If Reinhart and Mikkola are out for the next three possible games, and I think they likely will be, we will have a real Conference Final.
Reinhart and Mikkola are HUGE losses, and Greer is a presence that will be seriosly missed in a series-clinching scenario.
The Panther's are a tough and smart team, but they let the Oil get up from the mat last year and looked weak doing so. They embarrassed themselves in a closeout situation on home ice.

He keeps hammering the 5% with everyone in the room but him knowing what DA was saying.

The 5% is a regular season goal and it puts into perspective how close they are but in no way does it comment on play off performance.....the most important thing.

They are a lot closer than you want to admit. Now it’s on Armstrong to push this roster to the next step in the process.
