Know never going to happen, but who does Keith Tkachuk root for if the Blues play the Panthers in the cup final?

I think you could be the most diehard fan imaginable but no father would pick anything over watching his 2 sons hoisting a cup together

I was. Don’t blame him for rooting for the Sox though. He was from there. He now works for the Blues though

I would not
If we were competing for the same thing, absolutely!

I do that when my girls play hide and seek. I do that when my girls want to race me to an undefined finish line. I do it when we play 4-Square, Checkers, Monopoly, Connect-4, Tic-Tak-Toe, Uno, Hell… even Hungry Hungry Hippos. They’ll win someday. Until then, I’m rubbing every victory in their stupid adorable faces

He stole millions from the Blues in his playing days, and he continues robbing em as a scout, why would he root for them? Other than makin sure theyre still financially viable so his checks keep cashing

Let’s see. He “stole” millions from the Blues during his playing days. Yet the Blues are stupid enough to keep him around as he “continues robbing em as a scout”.

That’s a take.

It’s an asinine take, but a take nonetheless.

If the Blues are in the finals against the Panthers in the next couple of years, the last thing I would be concerned about is who Tkachuk is rooting for

This place cannot stop talking about them.

Think of all the convos over the past 2 - 3 years all for not.

Seriously. We should send the Fat Man to Fla just so wr can *stop* talking about them.

Though I'll admit, I once geeked out at seeing Tkachuk at the Hair Saloon at Olive & 270...

Why was he seeing a hair stylist? I care not to speculate.

He was just promoted to advisor to Army, but I'd say his previous stint was a little lacking
Recent Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Keith Tkachuk has been promoted to advisor to the president of hockey operations. Tkachuk held the role of director of recruitment for the Blues since 2019 after previously serving as an amateur scout from 2014-18.

Well, now that I have your vital opinion, my world can start rotating once again in earnest. Thank you. 🖕🏻
