A shortened preseason due to back spasms. I will give Allen a chance. I will wait until the entire team is actually playing like they should. Petro in front facing the boards on the Toews 1st goal. Weird damn bounce. Kane left all alone to circle the blues zone and in a great spot to shoot and score from. Toews on a breakaway. Blues all together have played like poop. Allen better not fold in December again this year. I wouldn't be upset if the blues were to get a different starting goalie but it is what it is. Allen is here. I will support him. Blues need to get their collective heads out of their asses and play hockey. Don't we say this every (frank)ing year. Same (frank)ing story. I will still watch cause I love hockey and the Blues. My expectations aren't high though

Blues don't have the cap to get a starting goalie that is an upgrade on Jake Allen he is the bleus goalie for this year we all need to just get used to it and support him.

Edmundson coming back will help but yes several goals this year have been of the flukey variety

And you cant leave Patrick Kane alone circling the zone for 3 minutes he is going to score every time

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to support Jake Allen in a way that will have any effect on his game one way or the other.

Please 'splain this.

How about not jeering him at home games, in the first game of the season?

Not that you were there, but Blues fans in general can have an effect. Right now, they are negatively having an effect. It would be nice if they gave him a chance this year instead of just tearing him down at the very first chance they get.

I don't care who you are, it is going to negatively effect any athlete that gets jeered at home. Not just by a small crowd, but by 80% of the crowd. It was embarrassing to hear. It isn't going to help. It is only going to hurt his confidence, which is bad for the Blues.

Cheering for a Blues player......I know, it's hard for some.

If you don't want to cheer, just try and be silent for a little bit. We all know how you feel, continuing to be loud about it online isn't going to do anything either. Just saying.

Exactly show me a player the blues can reasonably get to replace him? I understand he had a bad year last year but two years ago he stole a playoff series for this team and the fans.

Not directed at anyone directly but blues fans suck sometimes

I was at the game.

I did not jeer. Nor was i embarrassed by those who did, as you were, for some reason.

Other people can jeer if they want, I don't care one way or the other. As long as they're not throwing objects, being vulgar around kids, and the like, they shell out the clams to be there, to park, to invest the time - let them jeer, I say. Boo if they must.

The opposite of cheering isn't jeering. It's silence, apathy, walking out the door, turning the channel.

As long as they're jeering or booing, they're emotionally invested. Which is what you should want.


The most storied franchise in NFL history, the Green Bay Packers, were booed off their own field at halftime of their home and season opener while down 23-0 to the Chicago Bears.

Ain't nothing wrong a few placed boos.

Y'all's sentiment about this just proves what everyone already knows about Jake Allen. There's nothing wrong with him physically. His emotional and mental game is a complete wasteland.

Personally, if I were to ever emit a jeer - it would be directed at AP27. He's the guy I have no use for.
