Hate him and wish we had one
Don’t want the Blues to have anything to do with a guy known more for faking injuries every spring than he is for his on ice production. He’s a loser and a liar.
I don't like him but he is far from a loser.
Anyone with a C on their sweater who willingly fakes injuries is a loser. No other way to slice it.
C or A means you get to talk to refs. You are reading way too much into that. If the league allows teams to cheat they will cheat. Would you rather win another cup or be ethically pure? BTW nobody is.
You’re all entitled to defend Stone, same as I’m entitled to be miffed by a guy who 3 seasons in a row just happened to get ‘injured’ at the trade deadline, thereby enabling his team to make trades that brought the team over the cap. Believe he had a lacerated spleen if you like. I’ll choose reality.

Faulk again. If mailloux was having this type of game people would be having mental breakdowns.

Good lord, the ref right on the line, looking directly at the net, couldn't tell that puck was in.

Yep...13 shots with 11 mins left in the 3rd.

They're going to lose this one.

I wonder if it's just a focus on defense first and foremost because they have been so poor in that area. It is certainly dismal in the production on the offensive side but if you allow too many goals a game it translates to more losing. I have no idea just spit balling.
They sure as F don't appear concerned with adding any additional shots at this point. Every offensive "possession" is over as quickly as it begins. Man do I loathe this version of the St. Louis Blues.

This game likely ends with a 4-3 OT winner by the Knights after they pull their goalie and tie it up.
I agree it's pretty dreadful to watch this style of play but they do have young guys (forwards mainly) that lack the experience at this level and maybe they are just trying to make it as simple as possible for them to develop under this defensive minded style. Again, just guessing as a fan of the Blues and hockey in general.

Literally stopped playing offense after their 3rd goal and whatdayaknow, this worthless sack of losers can't hold off a real team for a period +.

Say what you will about Kyrou, but he has the track record to show that regardless of what's going on, he has found a way to produce points the last 4 seasons in a row.

So to see him and the rest of the team this pathetic ... no words... they just s*ck

I’ve been working till now and here we go again
16 shots in 2 1/2 periods
Plus, we blew a 2 Goal Lead

I did learn from Joey this period. What do the NHL initials stand for? The “ never hungry league “

I think Thomas would benefit from watching a game or 2 from the press box. He looks completely uninspired out there.

Speaking of "never hungry," a few possessions ago Sunny had a bead on a free puck along the boards deep in the Knights zone that he easily could have gotten to first, but as soon as he saw he'd be taking a hit he curled back and allowed the Knights player possession which ended in those golden scoring opps that hit the post.

Unbelievable this guy gets so much love from the coaching staff. Stupid haircut too.

Every team has rookies on it. The Blues just play a bad system. The dump and change just don't cut it. They can't be focusing on defense, they are terrible at it.
