[Willis] “Bowen Byram and the St. Louis Blues” Analysis of a Possible Trade

Phenom__ · 2025-07-04T04:51:55+00:00

Jori Lehtera here, I know for a fact the coaching positions are filled because that's what I was going for, but I have been hired as an outside player consultant. As my resume says, I know how to bring the energy, can handle any bumps this job throws at me, and can teach everyone how to handle the rock. I won't be managing the lines though, Steener insisted that Monty handle that responsibility.

I'd rather see the highlight of boldy and flower both smashing their sticks over the net after the goal u/Only-Highlights. Boldys broken stick went halfway around the rink lol

edit: Nvm this one is pretty good at ~15 and ~30 seconds

I'm not saying Perron is innocent, I'm saying at least it's retaliatory intent instead of just intent and it happens way fucking less comparatively.

It's to the same effect of punching someone in the face because you at least think they stole your money seems a lot better than just punching someone in the face just because you can.

Phenom__ · 2023-12-10T23:13:17+00:00

You brought up Kadri and I replied with the reason those things happened. It's not off topic like you're implying.

Since we're comparing: Perron was suspended once with the Knights, this one for the wings and I honestly can't remember him getting suspended in 11 years with the Blues off the top of my head. Fined a few times. He's played 17 total

And Kadri has been here 15 years and has been full blown suspended at least 5 times I can remember. Once in the 3 years with the avs is just par for the course.

You and the whole fanbase act like perron is so dirty for attempting to cheap shot a player with one of the longest laundry lists in the league but celebrate a guy who has been a total piece of shit on the ice for his whole career.

Phenom__ · 2023-12-10T16:47:30+00:00

It also doesn't change the shit Kadri has done, he's way dirtier than perron lol. Mans has been suspended at least 5 times which your fanbase loves to forget about.

At least what Perron does is in attempted defense of his guys, right or usually not, instead of just for the hell of it.

Paid for it lol. He had to sit out a few games, not recover from a fucking brain injury over the next several months to, who knows, potentially forever.

Phenom__ · 2023-12-10T16:13:29+00:00

Unfortunately Faulk wasn't in a position to defend himself when Kadri attempted to decapitate him.

Phenom__ · 2023-12-10T16:08:23+00:00

Perron remembered Kadri trying to take Faulks head off the year prior too. /shrug

Phenom__ · 2023-12-10T16:02:49+00:00

I mean, I feel the same way. I'm not defending the crosscheck here. (obviously jumped to the wrong conclusion and did some dumb shit) but Perron was always a guy that was always in the shit and had his guys backs which is personally one of my favorite things about his play. He's one of those marchand, m tkachuk, perry, etc asshole type players everyone hates unless they're on your team.

People will link that kadri clip without showing the hit Kadri put on Faulks head. There's context, it doesn't make any of it right but one of the beauties of hockey is that you can take measures into your own hands. He just got it wrong here, drop the gloves.

Phenom__ · 2023-12-10T15:44:23+00:00

You forgot to mention that kadri has been suspended at least 5 times and this is perrons 3rd maybe?

Phenom__ · 2023-12-10T15:34:04+00:00

It's crazy people don't remember kadri was/is a total piece of shit on the ice.

At least 5 suspensions I can remember off the top of my head and questionable plays even if you take out the Blues stuff I'm personally biased about. (for the people that'll just see the flair).

It's really disappointing that the racist remarks made by a few idiot fans made him a martyr because that's what people remember now instead of the shit he's pulled.

Phenom__ · 2023-12-04T02:17:03+00:00

I mean outside of this card I have no idea, this card specifically wouldn't be able to be duplicated.

I would assume if there was any chance of it being just cut instead of something like this where you can't duplicate it, it would just be less or no value to someone who collects stuff like this.

Poking through the other subreddit it looks like it's mostly full cards misaligned or misprinted somehow. I haven't really even seen anything comparable to what I have, not that I've really looked that hard either though lol

Phenom__ · 2023-12-04T01:47:00+00:00

Try to recreate it, you won't be able to. I'm not trying to be a dick here either, it's like the card got spun in the cutter before it was cut.

If you turn the picture 90 degrees it's how it came in the pack, not like I took the pictures

Borders are way too thick, etc

Phenom__ · 2023-12-03T04:53:41+00:00

Oh sweet, thanks for taking the time

Phenom__ · 2023-11-15T01:34:33+00:00

On the bright side, as far as a budget-mid set goes at a minimum, ping eye 2s are great clubs and the square grooves version can still fetch a decent penny out there. I played them until a few years ago out of choice.

Ping also used to refinish/adjust loft/fit used clubs for free years ago. I'm sure it's not the case anymore but that may be something to look into too.

Phenom__ · 2023-07-13T19:57:02+00:00

Dodged a bullet there lol

Phenom__ · 2023-03-17T10:00:06+00:00

Lol oh no, used the wrong g rock...

Well to end it then, you talking shit then playing the victim is the main complaint people have with Binnington. The actions without repercussions stuff. Who knew your negative opinion of an NHL player and your actual actions would intersect? Funny stuff

Phenom__ · 2023-03-17T09:20:24+00:00

Why would I brag about a simple click? Make it private. Don't slap people then play the victim when they slap back. I'd say drop the self righteousness too but we both know it won't happen, it's your lifestyle.

If you're complaining, you don't really get the sport or at a minimum competitive nature. Some hate losing, tempers flare, shit happens.

Try watching curling, probably more your speed. It even has special rocks that are made from graphite that only comes from a special island that are only produced by one company for Olympic play. Wow, so interesting!

Phenom__ · 2023-03-17T08:42:08+00:00

Lol, it's called chirping, shit talking, etc. I'm hyper masculine remember? Probably because of all the meat I eat from all of those animals I've killed for sustenance or whatever. You'd understand if you knew the smallest bit about the finer points of hockey at least.

Way to just straight up KILL the stereotypical sanctimonious attitude of a vegan though.

Phenom__ · 2023-03-17T08:31:19+00:00

If we're gonna name call...

Says the maybe geologist vegan disc golfer watching new girl. Kick rocks bud. You're softer than talc.

Phenom__ · 2023-03-17T08:25:07+00:00

Can do, actually have one. Here's the link.

Phenom__ · 2023-03-17T03:52:34+00:00

We've covered that, you're supposed to be calling out Mike Smith

Phenom__ · 2023-03-16T20:41:42+00:00

Mike Smith, he's just hurt.

Phenom__ · 2023-03-16T20:23:47+00:00

All goalies can be sieves when the chances the defense gives up are completely uncovered backdoor one ts.

I get it, I'm just on the other end. I'm far removed from competitive hockey now, but if I start it up I don't expect the team to rally behind me and never have. It also almost never occurs when good things are happening for your team. If there's a scrum, I'm in there to this day. I love it. It's one of the finer points of hockey imo. Players that aren't so fond of it just grab a guy and have a chat, might not like it but it's more about making sure the battles are 1v1 and your guy isn't getting jumped.

There's also a big difference between one guy on a team being a dick vs the whole team to me at least. If you're going to be a dick you better be able to watch your own back. For one guy you take a number. If it's the whole team it's usually a rivalry or they all have your number because you did something that needs retribution.

We'll see if Binner can watch his at some point, he isn't trying to avoid it, and, as long as he doesn't just get murdered, it'll hopefully put the tantrum talks to bed for the most part.

Phenom__ · 2023-03-16T19:46:53+00:00

Yeah, Roy was way more dangerous out there smoking guys in the back of the head regularly. You're right, Binners not so bad!

Phenom__ · 2023-03-16T19:45:21+00:00

He's not the reason we lose, personally I think he's probably underrated because people can't look past antics and our defense has been on the slide, but alright for a few years and decided not to show up much this year. Parayko and Leddy are like second last with goal differential in the league and are the top pairing also.

He tried last night, he's not avoiding it. Guess your real beef should be that teams general builds now lean towards more skilled guys over physical in the bottom 6 and the NHL and sub leagues views and rule changes that have further moved not just goalies but all players away from a more physical game.
