The playoff push begins tomorrow

[thegibby.]

Well we go from 7.6% chance to make the playoffs to 7.5% chance. So not horrible.


LGB!



Keep Thomas and Binnington. take orders on everybody else. but, obviously we would need to be blown away to move some of those others.

He meant the playoff push begins today. If the Blues win their next two games they're back in it. And all draft positions are equal, since the same quality of players can be picked anywhere durrrrrrrrrr

[TheJackBurton]

This is our 'last chance to sell reasonably high and get something back on Binnington' time. Short window. Waive some vets, bring in the kids. That Buchnevich contract (loaded w/ NTC for years and years) looks gnarly. Did they HAVE to sign him last summer ?? He seriously needs time in the AHL to get his game back. Or, you know, if anyone was interested...

Let's call it our first round placement push. Yeah, I'm in the tank camp now, 'cause we're in it already. The chops are not there, those odds aren't lying. Go for the gusto.

Jack is saying you and me and MN and others are dumb as hell though and we're not real fans.
(There have always been people like this on these boards.)

There have always been people who root for losses for the glory of a top 5 draft pick every single year. What's your point?

and they start out with a point.. would have been nice to get the other one.. not taking advantage of that double minor did em in

15 years ago I remember what interacting with you was like then.
Quality posters have to wade through people like you.

I've been here for 20 years.

I can guarantee you don't remember me because my name was completely different then as we all had to change our names when the purge happened.

Being the worst team in 6-5 situations also doesn't help at all. This has been an issue since the 2018 season and they have done little to nothing about it.

to me, their #1 issue has been, and still is, their inability to clear the dzone. maddening to watch it over and over and...

Yep. Not sure why this is such a problem and it doesn't matter what dmen are out there.

or forwards.. they're just as guilty

Vegas has a big, skilled D. Fun to watch...and I still think they're the favourite in the west.

Coupled with an inability to use edge-work to create seams/space, and hit the open man in the slot. Or hold onto the puck behind the net while a trailer comes in for a good look, not to mention generally missing wide-open chances. When we do score, we have a body planted in the crease. That's a hint. This goes for regulation and PP.

No, I don't see a rationale for keeping Binnington. He's back on the market in two years. His current market value is at his last relative maxima (IF he consents to a move).

3 pts out of 4.. next!

I began posting around the Keith Tkachuk acquisition in 2000. I know the longtimers. The longtimers know me. I've read the board for 25 years even if I haven't posted, You may have noticed it's a small universe of Blues info. And we did this exact conflict the last time I posted. I remember it. Or, I completely made it up (your version). You're wrong again. But, whatever.

Let me get this if I have it right.

You suck up to THE biggest narcissistic troll on this board then tell Jack you have to "wade through people like" (him)

You lost me.

And his comment to you is valid.

There's my own assessment.
