Doug Played Golf

Post by TheSolution »

He didn’t play hockey

He golfed at Arizona

He’s a fraud. Always has been.

He backpeddled into a Stanley Cup Championship thanks to firing a horrific hire and lucking out to have just enough team toughness to bully their way to a Cup at a time it caught a small crack in the infrastructure of the league as everyone was shifting to a skill game. It caught the league off guard.

Berube and Binnington were in the exact spot at the exact right time.

The league turned the other cheek and gave the green light to let the Blues roll, knowing the St. Louis market needed success to continue as things were bleak for some time.

Doug bullied Petro out of town (that is the actual truth)

He traded for Faulk to fortify and then signed Krug before Petro signed with Vegas to give him the solid middle finger.

Doug wanted this to be about Doug.

Doug wanted to win because of Doug, not because of Petro or any single player.

And it cost him both in staying in the hunt for the years after the Cup and now it’s costing him years wasted on a rebuild.

Doug has destroyed this roster and success has only come circumstantially.

Kyrou contract is horrific. The handling of his trade rumors, horrific.

They are drafting the same type of B tier, A- tier offensive soft players which makes no sense.

If you aren’t drafting top 5 and getting those types of elite offensive players you need to get complete players. Snuggy is a lazy, so so player without the puck. Kyrou got a 8 year contact and his the worst player in the league without the puck.

Doug f’d this all up.

Steen is a baking soda nose puffer loser who’s been entitled as an NHL son all his life and will absolutely not do his job thoroughly. He’s here for the steak dinners and red wine and the status.

Army is the Blues equivalent of Mozeliak...took a winning team and turned it mediocre just because he could. Army's not the genius he, the media, and Bluesfan thinks he is...more likely he "pulled a Homer" as the saying goes and lucked into a winning team.

I'd fire him before the season is over...no way he deserves to walk away a hero...no one walks away from this mess a hero.

Steen gave everything he possibly could to help bring the city’s only championship. That’s who Steen is.

You're wasting your time on here. With your knowledge you could be running the front office of any team in the league! Set your sights higher than just anonymously posting to some team's message board. Get your name out there! You could be running some team a week from today, hell you could get an Original 6 team and be the best GM in it's long history! Come on, I believe in you!!!!

"Steen gave everything he possibly could to help bring the city’s only championship. That’s who Steen is."

In case you missed it it's 100% CORRECT .

Steen bled Blue..... period.......and key to the team cohesion it took to win that Cup they won.

Who here thinks the Blues have a single player on the level of these elite players:

Jack Hughes
Demidov
MacKinnon
Makar
Eichel
Schaefer
McDavid
Draisaitl
Malkin
Barkov
Celebrini
Bedard
And on and on

The Blues do not have these types of ELITE players despite having a number of players anyone would want on their NHL team like Thomas and Neighbors.

The Blues MAYBE could have continued to (sort of) compete (enough to keep everyone engaged but not a real chance at Cup) with this core of Thomas and others IF decisions were extremely on point but they haven’t been.

How can people say anything negative about this perspective when it’s just a fact the Blues do not have these types of players.

The Blues have only 2 or 3 in the lower TOP 100. So you missed naming about 70 more names. :)

Also, Armstrong will tell you that he drafts from the center of the ice out. He, like every other GM, places supreme value on Centers. Does anyone believe that our lineup of Centers is on par with most teams? It's not even close.

There aren’t 70 players on the level of the names here (there are more names but not 70)

This isn’t just about points.

This is about tier of player.

The Blues do not have the type of special talent found usually in the top 5 of a draft but occasionally outside of that with good fortune.

The Blues roster reflects a franchise that hasn’t drafted top 5, top 10 for extended consecutive years.

They didn’t have a single player at that level… when they won the fricken Cup.
