Army does the very same thing he has done every single year. Including the annual bad trade.
A Over twenty five yr old hope, and a 34yr old Vet who can be another defender. What a genius or maybe one big beautiful fan base gullible enough to think 1 and what15 is some type of winning.
Oh look, another one. We at two a day, probably more.
He's been here the whole time.

But yes, he has recently been outting himself more and more.

They just can't help themselves.

I'd pay money to see what these people do in their own jobs.

Been following the Blues since the beginning. Yes, DA is the Man, St. Louis is very fortunate.

There are 32 teams in the NHL. If you live and die as a fan in a win the Cup or bust mindset you'll likely wind up miserable. To me, it's important for the Blues to be playoff competitive as many seasons as possible. I don't want to sit down and watch the team lose, lose, lose, and I likely wouldn't. Playoff chases and the playoffs are what the NHL is all about, and it's a lot more entertaining when the Blues are in there fighting.

Hockey is a blue-collar warrior sport, work ethic and battling opponents tooth-and-nail game in, game out. That's what fans want to see. It's really ugly watching bad teams, teams playing out the string, and lazy players. No sensible person wants to pay blue collar guys for that kind of work. Of course there are ups and downs, cyclical team fortunes. Those are understood, tolerated, but when we sit down to watch a game, any game, we want to see our team compete hard. That's it.

I totally agree with that. We are a mid-market city and have a great owner and a great opportunity for players to come here and be a part of this. Did not even mention how Monty has also changed the blues culture and room. I am excited about our team's future. Are we Colorado,Dallas,Winnipeg or Vegas? No, We are on our way though and there are 4 more spots open after those big four in 25-26'
