LM has been pretty good tonight probably should have played a little more than Faulk this is a tough matchup for lil Faulker. LM has been good vs McCarron

He played well.

Hope all the young players can ignore the noise and stick with their development...it's got to be somewhat distracting.

I don't think so, I think the young players are probably way more self focused right now just trying to develop and carve out the skills to excel at this level.

Faulk was put on the ice with Fowler instead of Mailloux for Nashville’s 3rd and 4th goals. Seemed strange you would mess with the D pairs up 5-2 and playing how they were.

3rd goal was Tucker-Faulk not Fowler-Faulk

I'm sorry but this back and forth is garbage. I am personally more capable of introspection than most people you have or ever will meet, and I have used this term homers and I totally agree with Miami about it. And the very best you are capable of is flat statement that people who think as I do are "not capable of introspection." No. It's that you are incredibly lazy in the head. You came up with an impossible answer and stopped there. How unbelievably stupid that is.

Also you are using willful blindness to state falsely that nobody is using Pronger. There is a forum member who posts how he wants to massacre his political enemies with guns who did it all summer, and still does it. A different person, literally in this thread which is where this specific conversation was referencing: 'hockey Jedi' on page 2 of this thread invoked Pronger. He is not the only one, it happened, and you are the gaslighter for stating nobody is saying it. Yes, homers are saying it. Your end of the conversation here belongs in the dumpster.

Wow, you’re more introspective than most people I have or will ever meet. When I think of examining my own conscious thoughts, feelings, and self-awareness, I immediately compare it to everyone a rando from Seattle could possibly know.

You saw “back and forth garbage” and said “hold my beer.” You claimed laziness and took a bong rip on the sofa.

You’re right about one thing, this conversation with you should go in the dumpster. This thread was discussing the development of a young, Blues defenseman and invoked the comparison to… wait for it… a previous development of another Blues Defenseman… on GASP, a Blues Hockey Forum.

You however invoked the massacre of political enemies with guns? Cool story, bro?

Indeed. You've keyed in on something -- the smugness of one whom so often labels anyone else that may have a different view as being lazy.

Sorry I am not convinced that he is going to be a solid contributor and that seems to irritate you. The Blues aren't either with their one year, league minimum deal. Maybe he will end up being solid and I will be happy about that. All I have ever said is that there is very little he has shown this year that has made me think it is more likely than it was a few months ago that he will get there.

Neat, you think a 22 year old former First Round Pick w/less than 50 Games won’t be a “solid” contributor… that and $1.59 won’t get you a small coffee at a QuikTrip.

However, it is incredibly inspiring and not remotely irritating. Once your bold, likely non-goalpost shifting premonitions comes to pass, when would you like us to commission the banner raising ceremony?

I hope you will understand that why every Blues Fan Homer would be actively rooting for your faceplant.

Once again you are proving that you cannot discuss in good faith. You set up straw mans because they are easier to argue. I didn't say I don't think he will be solid. I said I am not convinced of it. And I said that nothing he has shown this year has really made me think it is any more likley. Not sure why you insist on being all snarky about this. It does seem bother you that I am less bullish on him than most and believe that a lot of people are letting their Blues fandom cloud the reality that his actual numbers are still poor. If it doesn't bother you, you have a weird way of discussing it.

You continue to act like I want him to fail. I haven't moved a single goal post. I have no clue what you are talking about.

I dont know i may be watching something else than you guys but LM played fairly well again last night. I dont think at 50 ish NHL games we are able to make any real future determinations.
You know i'll still be around but he will either be a solid 2nd or 3rd RHD for years in STL. Big, can skate, will hit, really good passer, great shot. Nothing to complain about every one love each other, support the Tank and in 7 months we will do this all over again

Last night was a rare game I missed because I was at FLA/BUF, but the advanced stats say LM was the 2nd best Blues defender last night, so that's good to see. I agree that he is big and can skate pretty well, and I have seen a bit of a nasty side, but the "really good passer" I haven't really seen much of and "great shot" I am not sure we have seen much of either. He may have those things, or develop them over time, but I don't remember many times this year watching LM where I have been wowed by any pass he's made or any shot he has taken, much less that happening regularly.

I can tell you’re not impressed based on prior posts, but stats or not, to the eye test he did have a good game last night. Time will tell if he can be a reliable and productive NHL regular, but I’ll give the kid kudos for last nights game.

It isn't really that I'm not impressed. I just feel I haven't seen much of anything that moves the needle for me on him being a solid contributing NHL player. Even if you see mistakes, you also want to see those flashes of talent. I frankly don't think we've seen much. He's young enough where he could look completely different next year though. Good to hear he looked good last night. The stats do back that up.

[britishblue]

Mailoux has actually had a pretty solid season, considering the start he had.

My worry is we move Faulk and he is pushed into top 4 minutes when he really isnt ready for them.

A few passes were unreal good. Out of trouble and landing perfectly.

Miami's got the stats to say otherwise but January's games are a sign to me he's putting things together. We'll all know more by end of next year.

I know it is tough because you're not keeping notes but any chance you know the times of the game he made those passes. Don't really feel like watching the entire game from last night (especially knowing the outcome ) but if there were moments he showed some skill, I'd love to take a look.

That's my only slight hesitation for trading Faulk immediately, and the only reason I worry is that it might shake his confidence. He's finally gaining confidence. Maybe more ice time could help increase his confidence even more, but it is a risk. Fortunately we would be fine losing, so it would be a great time to get him more playing time with less pressure.

I agree with dhsux though, he's really putting things together and making some nice plays - like that keep in at the blue line with his skates. Nice passing. Takes the body appropriately and isn't out there chasing hits. Stays in front of the net a lot and does work. Skates like Kyrou (I've said he's like a bigger, meaner, D version of Kyrou). Still so much room to grow.

Miami I'm thinking in the third period for one thinking when game was tied?. I was bouncing around last night myself and I also did not record the game. If I find a few I will do that for you but not sure the time I can put into it either just swamped with work stuff right now.

Sorry brother, didn’t clock anything. Overall, he was just making better decisions on pinches, had a good and active stick in the Dzone and seemed to just play a little more assertively. Not sure I saw unreal passes, but definitely some solid outlets. Again, we’re on the same page in that I think he has a ways to go. Just thought he stood out last night in an otherwise embarrassing game.
