Blues, FanDuel disrespect John Kelly, family legacy with ungracious ouster: Media Views

[netboy65]

Lots of players on the only cup team in franchise history were disrespected and talked about it…

Yet people lose their mind over this.

It’s kinda funny

Is everyone talking about it?

Ya tool

If everyone includes Perron, Pietrangelo and Maroon … sure. You sound angry about it.

If by disrespected you mean didn’t bend over and cave to everything the player wanted, then sure.

Maroon didn’t even get a phone call. And yeah Perron and Pietrangelo … just being cry babies.

Its pretty hard for me to get up in arms and cuss out whichever empty suit is responsible for this decision, even tho even if I did know who’s behind this, there’s so many other variables that without a doubt is in play here as well…that it makes absolutely zero sense to cry a river. Not that I would have anyways since I can take or leave JK since I was never a fan of his work, but nor was I a huge critic either. It’s just business, period. This has been happening since the beginning of the radio, TV, rabbit ears, volume knobs etc.

This too shall pass, but lordy, you’d think alot of ya’s would at the very least want all the facts first before going on your adventurous witch huntscapades.

It could have been handled better than it was-----very shallow decision, period.

agree

FanDuel’s local operations now are run from out of town.

Demand that your team be run like OTHER NHL TEAM in every way.

It was very evident that Kroenke/Rams were leaving town well before he actually left when you compared how the Rams were run compared to every other city.

Never forget. Kroenke is an NHL owner. What happens in football can easily happen in hockey.

did you just compare the St. Louis Blues to the Lambs and Stan Kroenke? You are really digging deep here into the troll farm and leads me to believe you came from Lambs talk and had to come up with a new name.

In other news....
This was a misstep by the ownership group who otherwise has a stellar record in regards to their handling of the Blues franchise. The Blues aren't going to retroactively "apologize" but there are other things they can do if JK doesn't become employed by another team. Whether JK would accept those options like getting a few game runway series to finish it off, or they use him as a home 3rd option or something, those could all go over to take some of the stink off this decision.

Kirbs and Vitale are going to be great, and probably be a better duo than Rivers and Kelly were. And Rivers was improving. This year the product will suffer, I would venture to guess by the end of the year or next year you will see them start hitting their "TV stride".

Kroenke is an NHL owner. Expect the worse.

I was on RamsTalk with same user name.

Something i learned this week, Kerber's position in the communications dept. with the Blues was ended as well. He's strictly on air talent.

Yep, saw that, too and mentioned it in another thread.

No. This is just further ensheetification of the product for us. Fanduel has been consistently getting worse the longer this goes on. And unfortunately it’s the same for ESPN. For a sport that is gaining so much revenue, and is putting out a worse product, we should absolutely be concerned.
