Just remember... If McTavish fails, it is not Army/Steen's fault. It's McTavish's fault. Not in most hockey towns, but in St Louis, it's never the GM's fault for bringing in the player to begin with.
You need to get back on your meds grandpa. What do you get out posting this same thing 10 times a day? Is this fun for you? Do you enjoy this? Did your kids take your keys away and you’ve just got nothing better to do now?
Smelly is a worthless poster who lives in my Foe pile so I only see his posts when others quote him. However, your age shaming drags you towards his territory. As a 71 year old life long hockey fan who doesn't need his keys taken away I'd ask you to be a bit more considerate with your age based insults. Thanks

What's uglier?

1) An old man that makes a choice against hearing.
2) A young man that doesn't see how his ugly comments are heard.

I choose freedom of speech, all day any day. My good ideas sell better when they are sold on the same shelf as the bad ideas. It's like putting my ideas in a tuxedo. Please, please, please comment against my ideas. I love wearing sharp clothes.

And if McTavish is successful then what? Do you give credit to the player and the GM for being good and smart?




Or do you just criticize all moves?




What is it that makes you a St. Louis Blues fan? Do you like the Blues or just troll and criticize ?

It's a little hard to say what I will do if I am proved wrong because it hasn't happened yet--ever. I'm in the army of COMMON SENSE.

Here is my strategy:
When the Blues operate differently than every other NHL franchise, I know that they will fail. Simple as that. Sort of like seeing a kindergartner in colllege. You know it won't work because he's alone.

So let's make it official...
1) If McTavish becomes a CORE component of a Stanley Cup Contender, I am wrong.
2) If McTavish is JAG (or just another Dvorsky) on a team that misses or barely makes the playoffs, I'm right.

I'm a fan of St Louis as much as I am a fan of the Blues. I want our city to be treated as well as Pittsburgh and all of the other NHL cities. Currently, we are being heavily short-changed, and I'm going to call it out.

Apologies. I just find it absurd that he’s an older guy that throws tantrums like a 10 year old.

Read his two choices for which is worse. He fits both to a T except that he may not be young.

Par: Thomas 80, McT 50, Dvo 40

Success: 100, 70, 50

You know, +- :D
I don’t make many birdies, so I’d take that right now!! :lol: :lol:
Hopefully, but I'll take a mulligan. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks -I generally agree with your posts and appreciate your response. Try putting him on your Foe list - it reduces the amount of absurdity significantly. LGB!
