I'm still trying to figure out how you beat Chicago and Dallas only to get boat raced by ****ing
San Jose.
Eh, the Blues had a 4 year window and spend the first 3 years of it stepping on their dicks. Had they done in year 2 what they did in year 4 it would've been an outstanding springboard that could've propelled them to legitimate cup runs in years 3 and 4. Instead it took them 3 years to realize that playing loaf-ass hockey and then blaming your coach for it wasn't going to get them anywhere.
Seriously, **** your own face, TJ Oshie. Goddamn faux superstar. The glorified 3rd liner and puck bunny magnet fancied himself Jonathan Toews and never won shit. Then he'd have the juevos to call out management. Ugh...good riddance but I still can't believe the best we could do was Troy goddamn Brouwer.
Which leads me to my next point - do you really care what they get for Shattenkirk? It's going to be next to nothing. Army's shown very little ability to 'win' a trade to this point. His trade history is spotty at best (and really, it's mostly just bad).
They're probably a playoff team; hell they're as likely as anyone to win the Central outright.
I just wish we had more to look forward to than Mike Yeo. Gawd, how depressing is it to realize that the Blues are going to go from Hitch to Hitch's skinnier, less successful doppleganger?
There's just no light at the end of this tunnel, man.
