Jiricek

[somni]

It's so weird that Buium is somehow being associated with Jiricek. The Flyers could make that trade because MN had the pick right after them.

It's disingenuous.

Oh, and don't forget Parekh. He was drafted a few spots before Jiricek too.

If the Blues win just a few games less in meaningless March, we are all talking about
- a rookie that the WHOLE NHL is talking about in St Louis,
instead of
- the prospect going to Dairy Queen somewhere in the Eastern Canada OHL.

And of course, most importantly -- BOLDUC WOULD STILL BE ON OUR ROSTER.

But I know that some of you would much rather remember that 1 epic fail by Buchnevich in the playoffs than talk about Buium or Parekh for the rest of our lives.

I know this has been explained to you several times. You just want to keep spamming the board with your nonsense.

I would love for you to go the Blues locker room and tell Jake Neighbours not to try so hard in his first full year, especially down the stretch when it really started to come together for him, because you want a top 5 pick.

Or tell Robert Thomas not to work on his faceoffs and board play to get EVEN better because you heard of this player (who you probably can't even pronounce) is the up and coming draft.

Or walk up to Buchnevich and ask him to not score 27 goal and 36 assists, in a contract year, because YOU want to draft some guy named Parekh.

Maybe you should've told Bannister not to coach so hard even though it's his first go around as a head coach in the NHL.

Parekh was drafted 9th. That’s more than a few spots earlier than 16th. And the blues lost to Winnipeg last year so that doesn’t affect the 2024 nhl draft at all. You’re too stupid to even make coherent complaints. It’s honestly kind of impressive.

Please take a very close gander at the season results of St Louis, Minnesota and Calgary in the 2023 season.
Note how there was virtually NO DIFFERENCE between the St Louis, Minnnesota and Calgary through March 1, 2024

Summary. As of March 1, 2024, the Blues were on course to select Buium. At season end, they were left with Jiricek,.

Miraculously, the Blues PULLED AWAY FROM THE PACK with a great March 2024. Sound familiar? Same thing happened in March 2025.

Oh, and mark your calendars. The Blues are ON NATIONAL TV many times in March 2026!!!!!

When Armstrong says that HE DOES NOT WANT TO DRAFT HIGHER THAN 15. Mark his words. The rest of the teams in the NHL will gladly oblige.

[The Average Gatsby]

Jiricek gained muscle and he is throwing it around. His goal yesterday was a loose puck in the slot he pounced on and buried. He is unquestionably looking to make an offensive impact. You'll notice he's commonly swooping around the ozone with his stick raised. Two games ago had a huge open ice hit that sprung open the rest of his assertion and aggression. Yesterday he was called for roughing and later a fighting major. It's only a few games in but it's a different feel this year. His numbers and impact are going up. Just a lot more physicality into his game is helping. He really was a string bean last year.

Next game is Friday against Lukas Fischer and Sarnia.

So you're essentially saying it was way too early to prognosticate the Jiricek pick last year. The endless droning on and on I'm not saying it was you I don't recall but any draft pick in the NHL requires a process save the very few who can produce instantly. The Blues staff know infinitely more than we ever will let it play out it will be great to see what he can do in camp next year

I was always pretty even handed about him, because when you have that much inconsistency you have to prove it. And he still has to prove this out for a bit.

You know who is the next defenseman prospect to hit the lineup is Lindstein, he is very comfortable in the AHL already you can see it. It's a matter of time for him.

Theo scored a nice PPG last night he's coming along nicely

He should have made the team out of camp but we had to save face with the Bolduc trade. Can’t trade for a guy and have him start the year in the minors.

Sending lindstein to the minors was the right move. He didn’t look ready in the preseason games, at least not to me. Plus he’s a lefty who plays the left side and Mailloux is a righty who plays the right side so they weren’t really competing for the same job. Lindstein needs to beat out Tucker which I would imagine he does by the start of next season.

[sdaltons]

Nice!

In other news, haven't heard much about Buium lately. Can't imagine why.

I’m guessing because the blatant turd has no backbone, morals, integrity, or honesty…just a hunch tho.

Funny how they responded and ignored the one stat. A stat they've been very quick to use to point out how terrible Mailloux is. "Somehow" they completely overlooked it with this player.

[son_of_foolsgold]

Given what we know of Army, there is no guarantee he wouldn't have selected Jiricek ahead of Buium or Parekh...

Could you break down the records in March 2019? I’d like to see who the Blues could have drafted instead of winning the Stanley Cup.Thank you, I’ll Hang up and listen

Of course he ignored my point above. I'd love for him to tell Neighbours, Buchnevich, Thomas, Kyrou, etc. to please stop playing so hard. That there is a guy (who he probably can't pronounce) that might be available in the draft.

Smelly leaves little question as to who was Mr. Irrelevant in his recess kickball draft as a kid.

Jiricek and Fischer are halfway through their game tonight, I have it on the laptop with the Springfield game (down 0-3 at Providence, shots 9 to 27) on the big screen.

Jircek has a goal and an assist, they are up 2-0. Couple of bright moments offensively (the assist was a nice hold at the line and play that led to it) but I would say Fischer has been looking dominant on his shifts, really strong skating night. Couple of golden chances for points/goals that he created.

Late update: Dvorsky scores on the PP with about 3 minutes left in the second. it was the setup from the right dot that he loves. Lindstein looks real solid on PP1 btw, Dvo scored on the second unit shift

Thanks…..nice update!

Pecarcik just scored as well. Another PP goal he pounced on a loose puck. 2 PP goals after going 0-8 a couple nights ago, Now they are buzzing to start the third.

now Kaskimaki ties it 3-3

Sweet.

Zherenko has played an excellent game. He's the only reason Springfield was able to rally. He kept them in the game. Springfield down to 10 forwards in the game.

[a smell of green grass]

Given what we know of Army, there is no guarantee he wouldn't have selected Jiricek ahead of Buium or Parekh...

If we do get a TOP pick, I would not be happy if Army and his team is doing the selection. I've seen enough of Army to know that he is a very poor evaluator of talent.

[zamadoo]

Given what we know of Army, there is no guarantee he wouldn't have selected Jiricek ahead of Buium or Parekh...

I've said before and will repeat that I wanted Jiricek over Buium. Don't remember my thoughts on Parekh at the time, probably didn't have any.

I think this is a solid future defensive core (not to mention a few others who have a shot):

Broberg
Jiricek
Lindstein
Mailloux
Fischer
Burns

to go with the following has me excited:

Dvorsky
Stenberg
Carbonneau
Stancl
Pakarcik
Kaskimaki

They should just sign Sunny to 8x$1M, sign Binner extended indefinitely, and maybe try to keep Parayko and Thomas around.

I'd say in 3 years this team will be a force.

[Bluesfan1978]

I love how aggressive Jiricek plays. Last nights game and the last couple I’m noticing how often he’s getting open in the O zone and the puck isn’t making g it to him. Hes hungry to score more. Last nights goal was a great example where he just pounced to take the shot. Glad he’s in the OHL this year. Let him build his confidence and learn what he can do and can’t do.
