I don’t care what anyone says about Army, the man is intelligent and knows the St. Louis Blues.
the man is a clown and a shill
People will love him in the next few years when the plan takes more shape like nothing ever happened. Talking about his plan and players not hasten is taking over
Thumbs up on the Buchnevich signing and the two trades.
Doug Armstrong just illustrated an important strategy for improving teams at the Blues’ competitive level. That being to wait until the day after all the free agent signings to take advantage of teams that now have to move good under contract players because their free agent signings put them over the cap.
Army is a smart, smart man. Always looking at the long term goal.
Then why did he let Petro walk, sign krug, Faulk, Scandella, etc? He’s not a good GM.
@@Jeff76767because at that time it looked like a no brainer…
Go Blues Go!
He’s a smart manager. No team wins every year.
He’s terrible. He ruined their cup window.
@@Jeff76767 Covid protocols jacked that up. And when they were over Cup contract fantasies took over certain players, making them unaffordable
Great job.
I'd be happy if we could move Krug. LGB!!!
If they can rebuild the defense, I’d like their chances of making the playoffs
The defense is hot! What do you mean?
Army just reiterated lack of state tax helps business, thereby increasing revenue in other ways.
We need new coaching on special teams. The PP and PK are dismal and at the bottom of the league. We've been in the basement in these stats for too long. I hope the management makes some changes in the PP and PK coaching before the start of the 2024-2025 season.
why is ott even here , ott is a scumbag
Texier should help the PK substantially, and keep our scoring stars from having to play on it.
steve ott is in the good ole boys club though
I was at the prospect camp
How fast are the important ones? They fast? Strong on the puck?
@@julieo81 how much were the pretzels?
They were sold out
how was Dvorksy?
@@azrllvv8618 he did pretty good he scored two goals
I'm not sure why people want the Blues to completely change the defense. The defensemen were actually alright last season, other than Krug. It's the forwards who need to play better defensively. Other than Krug (-31) and Faulk (-2), the rest of the players that finished with a minus on the season were forwards. The worst ones coming from Schenn, Neighbours and Kyrou. The Blues would have easily made the playoffs last year if the forwards played better on the defensive side of the game.
I think if you check out the depth of the team before the trade deadline where we sent a lot out and last year; we’re like 1 forward short. Vrana working out would have changed things, as an example. I think the existing forwards were fine last year; we just didn’t have the depth historically have as it was turned into draft picks. Hard salary cap and aging makes teams ebb and flow like this.
Notice how Spoilers played better when their forwards played better defensively than offensively., especially, after 0 -3 start even though IF they coulda woulda scored more in, at least, ONE of those first 3 games, it likely wouldn't have gone 7 games.
I thought Buchie played great as the 2nd line center in the last dozen games or so of last season. I love Schenn, but at this point I'd rather him switch to a top-6 winger role or go center the 3rd line. If we basically swap out Hayes for Schenn this season on the 3rd line, then the team immediately becomes much deeper.
I think I agree with you completely except I wouldn’t mind trying Texier on the second line and if that doesn’t work maybe call up Dvorsky if he adapts well in AHL. I don’t personally think we should settle for Schenn or Buch as 2C.
GOT TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE DEFENSE
LGB!
Defense not the issue, we need to score more period
Lack of action. Make moves already…..too late
Buyout Krug Army! His plus minus is the worst in the nhl, cant win a board battle, and he skates like hes dragging a sled of bricks behind him
You forgot to mention that he can’t protect the front of the net. Also, that his much vaunted offense has faded into mediocrity. Especially considering all the first grouping power play time that he gets.
Let Krug play out this season. Then trade him next season when he has a modified no trade. We aren't winning the cup this season( id love to be wrong) so it would be a waste to buy out a contract like that.
@@mattf6397 he already tried to trade Krug away for peanuts and it didn't work. No one wants a mid 30's pylon that costs 6.5M/year
@@polarisoutdoors3105 it was also known the Blues had no leverage with his no trade clause. Next season that changes some
@@mattf6397 Good point. Also, there will be 2 less years on the buyout penalty if they buy him out.
But, they need to quit playing him as a top 4 defenseman which he most definitely is not. Admit his signing was a horrible mistake and put him on the bottom pairing where he belongs. I’d rather have his $6.5 million sitting on the bench most of the game than giving up lots of goals when he’s on the ice.
Put Dvorsky in the lineup. We need a reason to watch this team. It is still the entertainment industry
Kyrou and Thomas are entertaining obviously we want dvorsky to play tho
Going 0-82 would be so entertaining. Would love to hold that record. 😂
If you don't have a reason to watch this team then don't be a blues fan lol.
