Alex Pietrangelo Not Ruling Out 2025-26 Return

[Harry York 37]

Five years ago today. The horror dark day that set our favorite franchise back years, and the GM admits it. He knows what he did.

He's turned the ship around and may get another chance but it has been five long years without the Blues contending when they had contended for a decade with this hall of fame player leading them. I missed rooting for a contender the last five years, that doesn't get put back. Fawning over the GOAT has to always retain the one time he crashed the plane into the side of the mountain killing all aboard.

I don't see it that way at all.

The only "Great" thing Petro ever did for the Knights in the playoff was his dastardly monumental pussified slash on Draisaitl... because he couldn't cover him and he is too much of a physical vagina to take him out legally.
He was often their third-best Defenseman in the playoffs and was completely shut out of the Conn Smythe voting.

Did he "Help" them?
Yes.
The End.

fair enough, you have contempt for the first Blue to touch the Cup. not my thing but I'm not telling you what to think. just expressing what I think.

I jumped in here, because I'm waiting on a flight, and you touched on something here. I have no problem with your view, I disagree with your conclusions but as the way you stated, you're not looking to discuss it. All Good. Please don't take my opinion for "contempt". I am thankful for Petro's contribution and while I take offense to his attitude during "Return to Play", I recognize his contribution and am glad he was here. Like when the Cards didn't sign Pujols, i understood why and history proved them right. Same with the Blues and Petro. If he had played at a HOF level the last 5 seasons, I'd agree with you. As a whole, his contract is an albatross if Vegas doesn't win in '23. The Blues weren't winning the Cup in 2023 with or without him. Have a good weekend.

No worries, just a minor note that what you quoted was me responding to Harry calling him a vagina etc. That's contempt.

Do you condone, and/or admire his slash from behind on the leading scorer in the playoffs? Or, the way he sped away from any retaliation from the crippled Oiler?

Is there a better epithet for THAT play than "pussified" or "Vagina'?

You tell me.

You tell me.

I said you had contempt for Petro. You then said I assumed a lot. I then noted you called him a vagina. No longer then I suppose are we litigating whether you do have contempt. You cede that, now you want to litigate whether the contempt that you absolutely do have like I said you do is correct.

Look Harry. I'm a regular you're a regular. I'm not quoting your posts and telling you abut yourself in relation to your opinions I disagree with. Is there a reason you have this as your setting toward me? Are you planning to make any adjustments to this approach? I really don't think I deserve the disrespect from you that I seem to get when I vary from your opinion

I object to the proclamation that letting Petro go amounted to crashing " the plane into the side of the mountain killing all aboard."

That is gross hyperbole... and I replied in kind.


You are a one of the better-informed posters here, but moping and exaggerating the loss of a great ( Petro WAS one of the Greatest Blues- No sane person denies that) player, when all he ever did was help an incredibly stacked team win one Cup... is hard to stomach.

I pointed these things out, and yes- I did go over the edge with my comment on the slash... but Petro went even further over that edge when he chose to do it.
He was one of the Greatest Blues, ever. He didn't elect to take less and hang with the Blues. He wanted the money and- I am speculating- the glamour of Vegas.

It would have been nice if he had stayed. He didn't.
No need to make a Greek tragedy out of it.


Sometimes gross hyperbole grinds my gears.
My apologies.
The actual plot did not play out that way.

I hear what you're saying. For me not all risks are the same. It's the tail risk here that was so severe and foreseeable since we went through it twice before ripping out the support beam and watched Stevens and and Pronger go on and win Cups elsewhere. It felt just as gross about watching that slow motion crash as you feel about hearing hyperbole. I am pretty happy that the GM wasn't all the greatest GOAT or the worst GM ever, but is just a man making mistakes and trying to get them right, and that regardless of what happened five long years ago we are back in action now.

We are, indeed. And, your insights about prospects are appreciated and valued.

Sped away from the Oiler who was faking and skated straight toward the heart of the oilers and punched him in the head?

Do you even understand what happened there? Jesus

It has been weeks since I have acknowledged your pitiable existence, but I will make an exception.
Are you still furiously fapping to Petro's humiliating "Cup Winning Goal"?
How did Aiden Hill look against the 'Murcans? Did he win?

You are as blind as you are bereft of real hockey acumen....


He sped away from the crippled carcas of Drasaitl and found his cowardly (donkey), literally cornered by an enraged Connor McDavid.
How pussified, cowardly, and stanky back alley dirty does a play have to be to make McJeezus plow an enraged beeline to the perpetrator with blind fury?
ahhh- you would have zero idea, You are the Jon Snow of this forum.
Even a Caged Vagina will fight back. You do this ten times a week.

Quoth McDavid
"You would like to see it reviewed for sure. I'd like to see it suspended," said Edmonton captain Connor McDavid, who challenged Pietrangelo immediately following the slash on Draisaitl. "It was as intent to injure as you can get. That was not a hockey play."

Here's a clip from "Tough Call" which has almost 7 thousand subscribers- they said it was the EASIEST "tough Call" they ever made and predicted Ten Games
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmdx3RpUJkk

I just heaved a sigh and will go back to another few weeks not noticing your imbecilic behavior.

He had enough of Draisaitl sticking him all game and took matters into his own hands. Then he punched the best player in the head for good measure. “I’m already Mr. Target, so F you guys…let’s go!”

He then publicly called out Drai’s manhood after the game when interviewed…Hahahaha

So awesome. You should watch more hockey.

It was beautiful and it helped turn the series…and win him and his team another cup.

Oh, that explains him ducking out of the 4 Nations tournament; he was afraid of a face to face confrontation with McDavid.
