One month ago…..

Post by rezero »

February 23rd Blues chance to make the playoffs was 6.4%. We went on a 12-2-1 tear and now sit over 50%! What a ride the last 30 days has been.

It has definitely been fun to watch.

I'm glad the GM didn't tear it down. Appears the guys in the room are, as well!

Sometimes not making a move and telling the team you have confidence they can make a run as is, makes and impact also.

I find it comical that Dallas was the team who went all on acquiring Rantanan, Grundland, and Ceci for three firsts, one second, and one third plus two players, and have gone 3-2-2 since.

One month ago I despised the 4-Nations Face off as a stupid gimmick.

Now I'm writing a letter to the NHL demanding it be played every season.

Yeah? You going to be melodramatic and lurid as usual in your letter?

Nobody not Monty Army or anyone on here saw this coming. That said it’s great to see the transformation- it’s like a switch was flipped

Winning is great. Lying about past events (claiming a “teardown” was on the table) is cowardly and dishonest. It’s the strident, melodramatic, truth-distorting Blueser gang on here 24/7.

That isn’t true. Monty was the quantum shift. A GM with no clue would not make the trade for Fowler or waive Saad. These were clear signs that this season was not “over”for DA. With Monty’s obvious locker room mojo and the moves mentioned above, by late February you could see we had a very, very good team.
If you didn’t see that… you were too scared to believe, or you are dyed in the wool tanker, or you were not paying steady attention to the changes in their play. It was a tiny bit fitful, but before the Four Nations Tournament, and certainly by the week of the trade deadline, this team was, obviously, deserving of a fair shot.

Waiving Saad showed the season was not over? Do you know what “waive” means? You have that part backwards.

They went 3-5-1 before the break and were playing some of their worst hockey of the year before the break. Try again

Harry amuses. DA did not and does not know very much. He’s a lame duck, burned out, blubbering GM. He is not Nostradamus lol. Blues fans, god bless them!

Great points. Can you imagine where this team would be with Saad? The guy was a passenger this year. What foresight to cut bait mid season and also pick up Fowler who has been resurgent.

I'll always wonder how those conversations start and how the player is targeted.
