@ somni – thank you for the Hood River recs this weekend! we got a couple hikes in, one along a pipeline by the river and Labyrinth Falls on the WA side, then beers and fries at Full Sail. Broder Ost! Gravlax and hash. Great rec.
Didn't read that either. Yawn.

Says he joined 12/5/25, posts aggro b.s., moving on from another one
His hockey takes are casual at best anyways, though the vast majority of his posts are just him beefing with other posters. He either is not capable of having a real discussion or is playing a character who isn't. Either way, nothing is missed by ignoring him.
I noticed this new name was seemingly merging back into the discussion, accepted because he attacks certain members. But it's clearly a member here who isn't brave enough to keep posting under the old name, and it's just something to spotlight about this culture here, which is supposedly bad because of a couple other people, but is secretly bad because of the number of people who do this 'Jeff Goldblum' [shirt].

That's the only thing that made it worth my time to spotlight. and when I saw him doing it to you, who is a straight shooter and has established that over a long number of years, that's a chance to make the point to others so this toxic coward is seen better. Some people have higher tolerance for it than others. I have a higher or lower tolerance at different times. I guess I don't have a tolerance toward this guy, now.

Yea, definitely either a past poster or a double handle for someone who wants to role play being a dick.

This isn't a big site and is kind of a dusty corner of the internet at this point, so 90% of posters here have been here for years and years and not many new people are going to be attracted to posting on a site like this. It's the reason this is the only place I really actively post. I would guess the average age of posters on this forum is far higher than most other Blues forums/Reddit/etc. I always found it fascinating that we can all watch the same thing and have such differing opinions, so I never understand why people get so worked up when people have a different viewpoint.

Exactly - I think the differences of viewpoint can be a strength. Hockey teams go forward in a choose your own adventure style fashion so the clash of ideas is not a threat, it's a value for sharpening ideas (provided you're comfortable with critical thinking). There's another good Florida poster I knew in another place named Stealth JD you remind me of him. Very similar understanding of defense philosophy.

Stealth JD definitely used to post here regularly. On the rare occasion I pull up the HF Blues board, I normally see a few others that used to be regulars here.

Mailloux was not nearly an unknown to the hockey world. Even most Montreal fans could tell that he wasnt ready. Now most Blues fans say the same thing.

Congrats Blues fans. You know more than Army.
That’s why I don’t believe the story we were told on why they made the move. Our scouts don’t miss this bad. Something happened with Bolduc and they wanted him gone at all costs.
I hope so. Army claiming the Blues always wanted him since the draft kind of goes against that though.
Scouts didnt miss anything every single person whos commented on Mailloux asserts, like many young dmen, need NHL reps. This is exactly what we are seeing. But we can keep rehashing the same topic over and over and over

Zach Bolduc (23 yrs old in a month):
49GP 10g 18pts -11

Jimmy Snuggerud (21 yrs old)
37gp 7 8 15 -8

Jake Neighbours (23 yrs old)
37gp 12 8 20 -13

Big fat, YAWN

Kind of strange to quote a post from the first page of a 13 page thread that has clearly run its course. It's like when George Costanza thinks of the "jerk store" comeback way after the meeting is over.

I think this thread covers just about everything anyone could ever want to read about how people in this forum feel about Mailloux. You're not sucking me back in Harry :lol:

Meanwhile Bolduc hasn't scored in 16 games in a row.

Mailloux has 100% been improving hes been OK more or less lately made a really nice pass last night. Sure a puck bounced off Binnie, off of Mailloux's leg into the net. Not sure thats worth hemming and hawing about.
