I wouldn't have messed with the 4th line. Leave it alone and start holding some of the so called "star" players accountable. I would've let Steen watch tonight's game from the press box.

It seems the only players with chemistry are O'Reilly and Perron.


Tarasenko with just 2 goals and 0 assists in the last 12 games. Jesus

Man Perron looked great in that game.

I liked the effort.

Agreed, he looks great. It's so unfortunate to play like that and not get the W.

I wouldn't be surprised if Butler gets claimed.

I just don't know what to think of this team. I think its time to move on from Pietro.

I think the d corps try and rely on him when he is in the lineup leaving him to do too much.

I also think someone really brought up a good point about triplets at home. I mean I hope that's not an excuse but I can understand it. I barely slept with 1 new born at home.

I think they just mail it in the rest of the year and try and get a top 10 pick

I think you should never try to lose. As much as getting one of the top two picks would be great. Losing breeds bad things into a room.
I really believe there is a lockerroom issue. I think there has recently been a leadership shift in that room and that's why we're seeing some differences on the ice.

If you sit Perron for bad penalties how do you not sit Steen?

Maybe if there is this thing between him and Steen and you probably can't trade Steen, then you might have to trade Petro as sad as that would be.

I also think you trade Tarasenko bc I think you can snatch up a lot for him. I see some good from him but I think he hasn't adapted and enough people still think he's great. I'd gamble on his not ever reaching the potential everyone thought he had--50 goal scorer to get a package that the sum would be more valuable and the lottery of a pick who could be even better(though unlikely).

I honestly believe if from day one Kyrou was given top six minutes for the full season the kid is a 30 goal scorer right now.

I'm always shocked when he isn't. He's really not that bad of a player. He's definitely a 6 or 7 man that is solid.

If they are going to play Schmaltz get a pick for him bc this crsp is hurting him and the team.

The team needs to pick a direction and go with it

Either tear it down or try and make a trade to help them start winning now

this win 1 lose 2 crap is getting old

This losing crap is getting old. Maybe just a decade ago the Blues were in a rebuild mode after unstable ownership. Tired of losing Tired of not having the right chemistry with players. Tired of a lot of poop with this team

I’m typically in agreement with you, Blue Man, but I can’t wrap my head around anyone wanting to trade Tarasenko. I don’t fall in love with players. I’m typically okay with trading anyone if it will help the team, but the guy’s coming off major shoulder surgery and the whole team sucks. Pinning his lack of production this year solely on him doesn’t make sense. They’re very unlikely to find another 30-40 goal per year scorer for $7 mil. The guy needs a coach that can actually coach him. Hitch couldn’t do it, Yeo couldn’t do it, Berube doesn’t look like he can do it. And he’s not the only player that has suddenly regressed. All our high-skilled players have. That’s an issue coaching/management/leadership should be able to fix.

The coaching staff really screwed the pooch this summer when they decided to break up Schenn/ Schwartz/ Tarasenko. O’Reilly wants to be the center of attention on his line. He doesn’t play off of other players, they play off him.

What are we waiting for to call up Kyrou? This team could be not underperforming any worse and he's been tearing up the AHL. My understanding is that this year counts toward his ELC as he has already played 11 games.
