Blues
 
My Blues are so sucking right now. I wish they would have fired the GM instead of the coach though. Coach Q should have had at least until the end of the season to see what they could pull off. The GM is the one that does not make good moves and pays these guys too much when they are not performing the way they should. Almost ashamed to be a Blues fan.

Supreme Olajuwon 03-02-2004 12:26 AM

Well I think what Pleau was doing was telling the players that if the coach was the problem, then you better start playing well now like the Nets did with Byron Scott in the NBA.

They better make the playoffs or I'll have no one left to root for :(

MTR 03-02-2004 12:31 AM

But the Coach was not the problem Pleau is the problem. Plus he gave the assistant coach the job and a two year contract when Kitchen has not been a head coach before. Why is the owner not stepping in here and seeing where the problem lays?

I think they will make the playoffs. Barely but the streak will continue.

Supreme Olajuwon 03-02-2004 12:43 AM

Its as much the players as it is anyone else

MacInnis, Demitra, Boguniecki, Jackman have all been injured and Osgood is starting to unravel

MTR 03-02-2004 01:05 AM

Injuries have been a problem but that is mostly on defense. Our offense should be scoring goals and they are not doing it. They have not scored a goal in like 7 periods straight now.

Osgood is just not the star he used to be and Johnson is too streaky to be a good back up or starter. They really should have traded for Joseph or someone at some point when they decided to send Johnson down to the minors.

Supreme Olajuwon 03-02-2004 01:17 AM

oh yeah they lost Khavanov too so thats another blue liner down

Ozzy has been playing well lately but he's got like 4 goals in 4 games from the offense

not enough

The Blues remind me of the Lions; they're one of those teams that are the man, but are so ****ing stupid sometimes

Also, I thought they waived B. Johnson?

earlier in the season, the blues were one of the teams i feared due to physical way they've played the canucks in the past. huge payroll for a non-playoff team, wonder if they'll move some players or try to salvage the season. also what are the grumblings i hear about pronger, is there locker room problems?

They had to put him on waivers to send him to the minors. He cleared waivers like Joseph did a couple times.

I think some changes will be made in the offseason ala the Cards to deal with the dissappointment of the season. I have not heard anything about Pronger or locker room problems though. Right now the players are pissed that Coach Q is gone.

Yashamaga 03-02-2004 03:21 PM

yeah earlier in the season they were the most dominant team.

Exactly like last years Bruins

road doggy dogg 03-02-2004 03:30 PM

I see two things wrong with that statement.

MoRcHeEbA 03-02-2004 03:31 PM

blues have made the playoff's 23 straight years :eek:

road doggy dogg 03-02-2004 03:33 PM

It's because like I said, they're the man.

Sometimes they're just really ****ing stupid though, ie signing Osgood, firing Quennville

MoRcHeEbA 03-02-2004 03:35 PM

see they are alot like the lions just opposite... the blues have made the playoffs 23 years in a row the lions haven't made it in 23 years :cool:

road doggy dogg 03-02-2004 03:36 PM

The Lions are still the man though :(:(:'(

AT LEAST DETROIT HAS TEAM, WINNIPEG

Yashamaga 03-02-2004 04:01 PM

Are you saying that the Bruins weren't dominant the first like 30 games?

look up their record. They had like 20 wins

road doggy dogg 03-02-2004 04:07 PM

Yeah and they finished the season with 36 wins. 16 wins in ~50 games, awesome.

Yashamaga 03-02-2004 04:17 PM

right, and thus proving my point.

thanks

road doggy dogg 03-02-2004 04:25 PM

That Boston sucks?

I was kidding there... I know the moose aren't a good team we've only got 3 good players.

Gertner 03-02-2004 05:13 PM

How's Fedor doing?

MoRcHeEbA 03-02-2004 05:15 PM

who cares he sucks last I saw he was playing for the big club... we usually scratch him here cause the coach doesn't like him... they've been trying to trade him forever... they should just throw him on waivers.

Gertner 03-02-2004 05:17 PM

lol what a waste of talent. At least my St. John's Leafs are kicking ass....... :shifty:

MTR 03-02-2004 05:32 PM

I am pretty sure it is 24 yeras in a row not 23. No biggie though. In all that time though no Stanley Cups. :(

MTR 03-03-2004 09:15 AM

No it is 23 years in a row. My bad. But after last night. :(

*hangs up Blues hat*

*digs out Cards hat*

That's what happened in the 1st round series with the Wings and Ducks last year. The wings (my team) couldn't get off the ground because they only scored 7 goals in 4 games. On the other hand Cujo had like a 1.79 GAA and people were pissing and moaning. If the coach can't get say the motivation that will get his players moving in the right direction, he needs to be fired. That's what seperates the Wings from the Blues (Lewis to Coach Q as MRT called him) Trust me, the Blues are better off but will definitely not make the playoffs this year.

We need a slap smilie over here. Because I would have just posted that. Just because I gave up on my Blues does not mean you can laugh at them. :rant:

samichna 03-03-2004 09:09 PM

Shit, 23 straight years is pretty impressive

MTR 03-03-2004 10:19 PM

Longest streak in pro sports in North America. And it is so coming to an end though.

MTR 03-05-2004 08:59 AM

Fire Pleau already. He gave up a potentionally good goaltender if he gets past being streaky for someone that has liek 6 goals and not many more assists or something like that. If you are going to try to trade for some fire power to help the offense try to get Stillman back or some other better name than Sillenger.

YOUR Hero 03-05-2004 09:54 AM

LOL, he's trying to let his team know he hasn't given up on them. shoulda done that by keeping Q. I see they scored a goal last night :yes: .... :lol:

MTR 03-05-2004 10:53 AM

I am still pissed over Coach Q. He is going to be doing some work up in Canada I believe doing some broadcasting. Said he is not looking for a new coaching job until this summer. Rumors were that the Avs wanted him but no one can even talk to him without it being okay by the Blues because he is still technically under contract.
