Un-Coachable
Without naming players, I think a lot of our core players feel they're smarter than their coach.
The time of getting coaches fired should be over, NOW!

Re: Un-Coachable
That's why Monty got 5 years.

Re: Un-Coachable
Why were they coachable last year?
Re: Un-Coachable
When you make four defensive lines and want Kyrou in a corner or battling along the boards or do the turtle with a half and hour left in the game. Yes the players may be smarter.Tabasco Flowers wrote: ↑17 Nov 2025 14:48 pm Without naming players, I think a lot of our core players feel they're smarter than their coach.

Re: Un-Coachable
I understand why folks are frustrated but this seems to be a grasping at straws attempt at an explanation to try to explain why the Blues have been so bad this season. I suppose it’s possible but I’ve seen no evidence any of the players would be considered uncoachable or think they know more than the coach.

Re: Un-Coachable
Yeah other than Kyrou getting benched for a game this doesn't seem to really be the issue. The issue is generally poor play and at times brutal goaltending.STL fan in MN wrote: ↑17 Nov 2025 17:26 pm I understand why folks are frustrated but this seems to be a grasping at straws attempt at an explanation to try to explain why the Blues have been so bad this season.

This same group with the same coach played phenomenal hockey down the stretch last year. Sometimes s____ happens and it's difficult to figure out why.
Re: Un-Coachable
Montgomery was fired for inappropriate conduct.

One needs to cipher the intent of more than half the threads that have been generated over the past month, thereby explaining the content.
Take this thread that literally excludes Monty from any responsibility for this seasons play. Now I like Monty, I support him and I think he's actually a great coach. But please, he has a role in this teams performance, whether it be good or bad and.... it's presently bad. If there's one guy that's going to turn this around, it's him.
Hate to say it but all this frustration reminds me of the fall of '18, when we all saw the inexplicable bad play from that Blues team and this place went nuclear.

Re: Un-Coachable
I'm not saying Montgomery doesn't deserve any blame. He does. They all do. It's been a team-wide struggle. And it's valid to question the direction of the team from the GM as well.dhsux wrote: ↑17 Nov 2025 17:57 pmThe poor play has been manna from heaven for certain posters.bluetunehead wrote: ↑17 Nov 2025 17:34 pmYeah other than Kyrou getting benched for a game this doesn't seem to really be the issue.

Re: Un-Coachable
It's night and day, frankly. That team eventually proved their worth, which we all know. This team at best is still probably borderline playoff caliber.

I did not make a comparison of the teams, but rather the threads and posts about that team at that time. And yeah, every one quickly and conveniently forgot about the things said about that team at the time once THAT SAME TEAM proved worthy
Now, that team that was trashed are all hero's....and stars.
I'm just reminding posters is all.
The agenda king has to constantly twist and turn whatever he can to make his cheap shots. Literally self interprets to suit his agenda. He follows me around making up what he wants about my opinions each and every time to carry on his agenda to bash the Blues.
