Arguing those two are not positive additions ends this conversation.

Liles scoring is all that needs to be said about Carlyle

Claiming Bolland and Bernier as positive moves by the GM is being stupid? Once again, you must be the only non stupid person here.

Who? Who are the elite talents on St. Louis?

Steen? Backes (maybe a top 40 player in the NHL)?

Bouwmeester? I'm sure 0% of your Oilers fan base was saying that a couple years ago. Shattenkirk? No.

They have Pietrangelo. There you go. One top 10 defenseman. Ottawa, Montreal, Nashville, Phoenix, etc. can all boast the same thing. None of those groups looks as good as the Blues.

Hitchcock has every single player on that roster playing above their ability because he has them playing as a team.

Well put. "Chemistry" and "confidence" have to be the most fascinating parts of sport, since they are both so obviously real and very intangible at the same time.

Komorov is an Olympian. Would you consider him elite?

Phanuef should fight Skinner.

Thats just it. No leadership. Hmmm, maybe this is a response to someone being given the leadership long term? Oh no, here come the freak outs.

Absolutely no leadership. Did I see liles score? Awesome, good for him, I hope he gets another!

Grabovski scored too....and MacArthur last night.....I'm waiting for the Komaserk goal - that will be a thing of beauty

Isn't this what Clarkson was brought in the prevent? Didn't they sign him knowing he wasn't a 30 goal scorer but he wouldn't let the team crash the 18-wheeler again?

What.. the (frank)?

- robin_steele264

Precisely because of the environment they're playing in.

How many of those 10 are Olympians if they're wearing a Leafs jersey? In this mess, maybe 2 or 3 would still merit it individually.

Please enlighten me oh knowledgeable one. Start by explaining how this team with Frattin and Scrivens is better than this team with Bernier.
