UPL and Johansson will make Roch champs next year.

Soooo, 5 bad coaches and 3 bad GM's.....8/8, 100%. At least were doing something right or are we? I still say we need an exorcism to deal with the curse.

How can you be a leader of men without men to lead?

Then you could say that we screwed up both ways.....we got rid of my players to get yours, and then got rid of your players too.

I gave you 3-1st rd picks drafted by us. You gave me 3 guys that were established prior to coming here and did better here, then left.

Zadorov, Grigorenko, Ennis, Chad Johnson

I was gonna multi-quote but this will do for now..... I agree that we don't have the "horses" yet, but lets look at the bright side. When we were just starting to fall out of the top, there were some teams that passed us, some of which could be considered to have the horses. Both Colorado and Anaheim passed us when we were around 7-8 overall in the league. They now sit below us. Also, Toronto was sitting in 2nd for a long time and now are 7th.......be happy that some of their hopes might be getting pissed on too. MUST WIN!!! GO SABRES. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Devils moved to Toronto...just a thought.

I liked Iafallo when he came to our development camp a few years ago and wished we had signed him then. He really stood out at that camp and reminds me alot of E-Rod, motor running every shift.

Not sure who or what post you are referring to in the bolded. Just for the record...I wasn't debating anything.

Yea, I was referring to new guys like Bozak, Perron, Maroon, etc. I guess even a goalie could spike the play of others through a confidence factor.

I was just curious as to your answer. I'm not a stats guy. I'm also curious if any of the other off season trade/signings have upped their game recently that could be another reason for the Blues turn around? ROR seems to be consistent so that doesn't show me that he would be the reason besides the goalie.

Can I ask you a "stats guy" question? If you were to pick one(1) asset ROR has that would suit any team....would you say his face-off abilities?

Think about it, you seem like an intelligent guy.The question around here seems to be "how good would we be if we hadn't traded ROR?" I ask, "How good would Colorado be if they hadn't traded ROR?". And, "why did they trade him?" Was the Avs GM an idiot for trading him? Was Murray an idiot for thinking ROR would be the difference in making us a success? Was JBott an idiot for trading ROR? Will the Blues be sorry any time soon for making the trade? All good questions and no "real" answers. I think ROR is a very good hockey player and I'll leave it at that.

So are you saying that Colorado should've never gotten rid of ROR?

Well done and I agree.....except for the bolded. I can see the argument being......an experienced GM would have hired a coaching staff that would install a system which best suited the strengths/ weaknesses of the players on hand leading to success. Example being that Isles coach and GM has done just that. This is just to conclude that there is no scenario that will not allow for someone to criticize JBott.

Ok.....the last 2 game win streak was December 11th and 13th. How's that?

You need to read more threads. There's been plenty of talk about the ROR trade, just not in this thread.

Decline the PP

Nice hustle by Jack there.

Yea, JBotts really knows how to screw things up. The ROR trade. Berglund. Lehner. And now the horn . L O L

I'm trying to figure out what happened here. In the trade proposal there's no mention of Sobotka, yet his name comes up in the break down. Also, in the trade there's mention of Boone Jenner, yet his name disappears in the break down.

NOPE.

NOPE.

You and how many other people predicted exactly that? I mean other than the usual....."every time we get rid of a player, they become a star".

you're banned,LOL
