Dreger - on the Blues downfall “they just aren’t that good”

[Walter Sobchak00]

Game plan:

Post #1: Something that has enough "hockey related" content to suck people in but also has enough "troll" to get said people worked up

Post #2: More troll, more personalized attacks on responses to post #1

Post #3 - #6: No more hockey content all "troll"

People stop biting or start calling him out on being a troll:
Goes back to hockey related posting in hopes reel people back in if that works back to Post #2 tactics, if it doesn't stops replying for a bit of time in hopes the bait he laid in previous posts reels different people in, if that doesn't work waits for a game or a news report to start the entire process over.

It’s bothers people so much that they can’t even talk about it. They must deflect to feel safe.

Those are the super fans

This would be the post #3 - #6 example

Nothing shocking here really. The Blues are not very good and everyone on this team is likely available in the right deal. Just because Thomas is available does not mean he is going anywhere. It's been bantered about for weeks but in the right deal Thomas would get a nice return. For me though the only way to trade Thomas or Parayko for that matter is if the replacement is coming back.

It’s not about shocking. But like Dreger implies…something is wrong…doesn’t smell good.

Who is going to overpay for 2nd line C who you publicly have said doesn’t smell very good.

Something is very wrong with that

You have absolutely no idea if the league is salivating over Thomas you're just making [shirt] up for the reactions.. 1 out of 10 on your trolling.

Well top guys in the game are implying they aren’t…saying asking price is too high. Gotta remember he’s a number 2 on many, many teams.

There are a lot of concerns for teams and it doesn’t smell good.

Why don’t the Blues want to build around Thomas Walter? Is this where you say you don’t know?

Quinn Hughes trade speculation started April 2025, he was traded December 2025.. was the NHL not salivating over him?

Is Thomas still on the team? So the Blues are still building around him. The asking price shows you how much the Blues value him.

Laughing...

Quinn Hughes lol. Is Quinn Hughes a number 2 on many, many teams? Have any cup coaches stated Quinn doesn’t care about his team and doesn’t earn his money?

Which coach said that about Thomas ? Missed that one. Dreger didn't mention that.

Well…there was only one cup Coach who coached him n the NHL. How could a Blues fan miss that? Was talked about for a very long time…Thomas even addressed it publicly

Really when? I don't see it. Can you give a link? Edit. You are referring to Berube criticizing team and its leaders about not putting out the effort on 23. Just googled.

Not just effort. Said he doesn’t care about the team. That’s the worst thing you can say about any player.

Maybe The hockey world has forgot about it

“No passion”

“No emotion”

“No inspiration at all

We see the same things Berube did

This monkey is cracking before our eyes... might have scratched a bit too deep.

Doug is very sad. It looks like anger, but he has publicly stated he feels failure right now.

That’s a dangerous dude to be making changes right now

[dhsux]

Every one is talking about it.

Keep breathing life into this phony, guys.
