They are actually dumbass boneheads. They are willing to jump on any bandwagon if they think it might bring a Stanley Cup to St. Louis.
BULLCHIT I SAY!!!!
I'll wait. Can you imagine the Stanley Cup inscribed with the St. Louis Blues as Alexander Steen, Jake Allen, Jay Bouwmeester, David Perron, Petriangelo, etc. FORK NO!! Barclay Plager would roll over in his grave.
Get rid of these anchors and let the kids have at it. If this team is going to make a run at the Cup in the next few years then let's get on with it and sit the forking losers who have dragged this franchise nearly into the ground with their lackluster bullchit play.
I can't stand this version of the Blues......but I love what's coming in the next few years. (yes, I may have been wrong about Armstrong and what he's trying to build, time will tell....but I'm not wrong about this team as it sits right now...I watched it for too long to think it's anywhere close to making a decent run with those forkers in the lineup)
I don't give a rats ass what "Homer and the Edyssey" think.

Can we be done with the goalie situation in St. Louis now?
For forks sake!! When will this team EVER be able to manage goalies?
Where is it written, besides in the Blue's play book, that a goalie can't play two nights in a row???
FORK!!!

That's the game every one has been waiting for from him.
1 disaster, 1 softee and 2 marginal.
And the team was out of sync all night.

Need we discuss the Jamie Benn / Dallas Stars situation any further? If you are anything above moron level and can’t see the Blues are now officially JB’s biatches, you need a smack upside the head... 
He and his teammates OWNED the Blues tonight. A few feeble attempts at stirring up some chit with fake rough stuff by the Blues fell waaaay short of the effort put forth by the Stars.
I have to go now. I’m going to do some research to see what the rule is regarding a team’s right to decline power plays. The Blues may want to go that route, if the current trend continues.

You don't say.

Literally! And the only hope this team has is if the boyz that are capable of playing rough, play rough & tough, in spite of their gut-challenged "C".
Pietro reminds me of Federko in a strange kinda way. Supremely talented, with great hands and not much of a nose for the rough stuff. But a centerman can get away with that far more than a defenseman can. And more importantly, somebody or some people had the good sense to not make him a "C" and let him do his thing. He would have made a terrible "C". I recall he wore an "A" most of his career, except the one year Sutter was gone.
This little mini-break should be just what the doctor ordered. They will have no excuse for not coming out with max effort on Wed. night. against a dismal Kings team.

Here's how I see it.
Berube came in and straightened out a disastrous locker room.
It took him another month or less to find a resemblance of chemistry on their lines.
I believe he got Robinson to put in the right D scheme.
He FINALLY dumped Allen.
Blues were LUCKY to have been holding onto Binny all these years having never given him a chance until now.
The team players needed time too for the front lines to get it together which coincided with Berubes take over or shortly thereafter.
I think THIS is the team I thought they had in August, plus one Binny. The THIS team that has played since mid December, without Allen.
And now the bad start is over.
Yeo is over
The small team December turnaround is over.
The month long franchise breaking streak is over.
They have lost 2 in a row. It's March. 5 teams and 2 places to fit them. Pressure is on.
And the Blues are staring right at it.
NOW....like right NOW....Is O'Reilly going to lead? Will the 2 missing forwards come back to help this team score more goals? Will Binny be the man or the beetch? Can they get a second line to score? Will injuries derail the whole thing?
What they gonna do?
They played like a Cup contender on that run. They beat the leagues best on that run.
But this is the Blues.
Like I said, any more rabbits in that hat coach?
bwaaaaaaaaaa..........

Just read up on him with his passing.
Wow. He was hockey when hockey wasn't cool.
RIP indeed.

This 2015 interview with Binnington is becoming must see stuff. I think he is sufficiently weird to be a goalie...

5 of 6 points on that road trip.
Blues won the 2 they should have and took the Sharks to OT, without Tarasenko, in a game where they did not exactly play their best.
Getting Schenn back has been huge. I am beginning to think they are deliberately holding Perron back.
Stay healthy, let's see where it goes.

The trips out west have been tough in previous years so it was a very good result. I have not been a JA fan but he kept them in that game last night. I only caught part of the game and noticed Tarasenko missing but didn't hear why. Why was he scratched? Did they say?

Allen definitely earned that point. Nothing new, the guy is a jekyll/hyde player. The problem may be growing if they are donking around with moving him back to #1.
Team is saying Vlad has upper body injury and day to day. Who knows.

The team announced today that Tarasenko will be out a minimum of 10 days and possibly longer.. That doesn't help.

Every thing there but the goals.
That game was frustrating to watch.

What was most frustrating is the ones Phoenix scored were on bone-headed giveaways. You can't have that when you're in the playoff race. But I guess that is secondary to the fact that they couldn't score on 214 chances, until they had a 6-on-4, with a minute to play. Give Phoenix credit. They took advantage of the gifts given to them and stayed strong in their own zone.
This road trip will tell a lot about where this version of the Blues will end up, in the playoff race.

Blues hockey.
There's nothing quite like it.
Kind of like banging your head on a wall.

Nope.... goaltending is, surprisingly, NOT an issue with the Blues. Only 5 teams have allowed fewer goals than the Note.
This team can't score. Mostly because they only have a couple of guys willing to get dirty in that low slot area. Most of their "scorers" like to skate and make pretty passes. That doesn't add up to goals.

Put Thomas at #2 center and let Bozak go to #3 center.
Hate these lines Berube is doing with the injuries.
Marron constantly in the top 6.
I guess Binnington is now back to #2?
And where the fork is Kyrou? Now called up a second time...PLAY HIM.
This team needs to find a spark.

Maroon plays the exact game Berube used to play, so get used to it. I don't think it fits with the pairings he is used with, but there isn't alot to work with.
We're kind of back to your theory that the Blues have 4 viable scoring lines.......put down the crack pipe. Healthy or not, no they don't.
