  1. I bleed “Hockey Blue” (Noel Piccard’s term.) This was a terrible trade for us. Armie gave far too many players a “No trade clause” and now we’re stuck with all these “over priced has been defensemen,” who have lost a step or 2 and shouldn’t even be in a top 3 rotation…

  2. this is devastating man. Glad he’s gonna be able to carry his kids but our d line is worse without him on it. Hope his recovery is swift and complete

  3. You can think about him in any way. But I NEVER wish this upon anyone. This is truly devastating to see. You can tell he cares about this franchise. This could be a career ending injury for him. Ankle injuries are no joke.

  4. This sounds like a "we don't want you to play for us, how about you get that surgery now" type of situation. He even said playing hockey it's not as bad due to being in a boot. And with all the dman the Blues had they probably said we're going to put you in the minors since you don't want to accept a trade and then they settled on doing the surgery.

  5. Based on what he said and his raw emotions, this sounds like a career ending injury and Krug kind of knows it but hasn't totally processed it yet. Poor guy

  6. I wish him the best. I think he played his heart out for the Blue Note and that is all one can ask.

    Best of luck to you Torey! You are and will be a Blue.

  7. Wishing Torey Krug the best of luck and a swift recovery, I've always really liked him as both a player and a person

  8. Horrible to hear and hate to see this interview, speedy recovery sir and take care of yourself and your family!

  9. I cannot imagine the amount of pain Krug has been playing with; only a hockey player would keep playing. Krug leaves it all on the ice every game. I wish him the best for a fast and full recovery.

  10. These guys dedicate their entire lives to playing hockey. Seriously, from like 3rd grade…then one day its taken away from them. Hope he can find that spark coaching or whatnot. There's more out there Torey! Hope you stay in STL when you're done playing.

  11. Wishing krug the best. Admired his energy since the SCF. Hope he can coach perunovich to be his protege. Perunovich has mentioned that he looked up to krug in terms of playing style. And probably why he wears a number next to Krug's.

  12. Why not just do the surgery at the end of the season? It continued to get worse over 6 years which means it isnt just gonna get better.
