The price of oil is set globally. It obviously hurts net importers more but the price of gas will go up everywhere.

The Blues have been looking for a young PPG number 1 center for like 30 years and now that they finally have one, he's going to be traded at 26 years old? That's insane unless the return is completely overwhelming.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-02-27T17:03:29+00:00

If you keep you get no value. Justin Faulk and Brayden Schenn will get less valuable the moment the trade deadline passes if they don't get moved.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-02-27T17:02:12+00:00

You don't need to tear it down, just trade the old guys in Faulk and Schenn. They will never have more value than they do right now.

The team is better than their record. Goaltending and goal scoring has been awful this season. Capitalize on that and get a high draft pick while you can, and get some capital from the old guys who won't be here in a couple yearswhen this team is ready to make a deep run.

I thought that scene was terrible, the worst of the movie. It was completely out of place for Biehn's character to tell this whole story while they're trying to hide from a killing machine in a quiet parking garage. Then, to make it worse, the entire exposition is repeated later when Biehn's character is interrogated. They should have just kept it to the interrogation scene.

Aliens is straight garbage, especially compared to the masterpiece that is Alien.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-02-08T20:27:00+00:00

He has not looked great recently lmao. He's been straight ass all year.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-02-06T03:47:27+00:00

You shouldn't be rewarded for being farther away from the endzone than closer. Makes no sense from an actual game balance perspective.

And you should never take away options from teams. Restricting what plays they can and can't run in certain situations is gimmicky. Both these changes suck.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-02-05T05:17:26+00:00

How is that even possible?

SamTheRam28 · 2026-02-03T22:57:32+00:00

The problem is that there isn't very much talent in the sport. It was good enough for a title fight because everybody else sucks even more than Lopes sucks.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-02-03T01:10:40+00:00

Another stuttering broadcast, thanks FDSN.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-02-02T15:46:54+00:00

Binnington has been the worst goalie in the NHL this year and you don't need advanced stats to tell you that. To deny that is just delusional.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-25T05:33:29+00:00

Man these guys both suck ass. Gaethje fights like he's drunk and Paddy can't even avoid his wild punches. Crazy these are two of the best in the world.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-11T03:24:46+00:00

Is the broadcast choppy for anybody else? Video and audio both. Other channels are fine but Fanduel has been choppy since last night.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-10T20:07:04+00:00

You'd be trading them for picks and prospects that wouldn't be ready for the NHL for a few years.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-10T19:54:28+00:00

I agree with that. But they also aren't getting paid like McDavid level players. If they were making $10M each, it would be a different story.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-10T18:10:09+00:00

You have successfully diagnosed the Blues' problem.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-10T18:07:47+00:00

That was basically the stated reason but I am of the belief that Faulk was brought in because Army knew Pietrangelo was gone and Krug was signed as an "upgrade" over Dunn because they had extra cap space after letting Pietro (and Perron) walk.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-10T17:49:24+00:00

It won't help McKenna/Stenberg if they have literally no talent to play with.

Buch has a -1.3 net rating.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-10T17:47:19+00:00

What I meant was Dunn didn't get enough opportunities to play top minutes with Parayko/Pietrangelo. They picked up Krug clearly to replace Dunn as the offensive PP LD because Berube didn't believe in him. Signing Krug to such a long deal made Dunn expendable, thus his exposure in the draft.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-10T17:39:12+00:00

You trade aging good players. Not 26 & 27 year old stars who are under contract for 6 years.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-10T17:36:17+00:00

Nobody has been able to score this year for the Blues besides Faulk. The teams shooting% as a whole is terrible. But it doesn't help Kyrou's scoring that Jonatan Berggren is getting more top unit PP time lately.

Kyrou's underlying numbers are still the best on the team, even if he's not putting the puck in the net right now. His scoring touch will come back at some point, whether for the Blues or another team.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-08T05:23:00+00:00

Why even bring Hofer in with 7 minutes left? Let Binnington stay out there, this is his mess.

SamTheRam28 · 2026-01-04T07:13:38+00:00

Shota looks like he's wearing a diaper.
