  1. Holy shit I was not expecting that

    This is why

    “What’s your opinion on the team now that we’re done in FA”

    posts are dumb

    Oh boy. Idk how to feel. So unexpected. On one hand, I’m fine with a step back if the kids are getting lots of reps, but I also understand that we can’t have 4 rookies in the lineup and maintain a competitive roster. Competition for spots is good and Kane and Tarasenko could do some PP damage. Gonna remain cautiously optimistic with regard to his 5v5 production.

    LETS GOOOO. Tidy piece of work from Steve. Veteran with playoff experience

    So… How about “not getting better,” eh?

    This is definitely getting better.

    hes got 2 stanley cups now right ?……… he was a favorite of mine in STL….great pick up

  6. non_target_eh

    Tarasenko is a big move. Now buy Husso out and give Mo and Ray 8 year deals and this is a good offseason.

    BUT BUT BUT HOW WILL WE MAKE UP THOSE GOALZ FROM LAST YEARZ

    Outside of Florida, he wore #91 because his favorite player growing up was Sergei Fedorov. Does he get to wear it here?

    BECAUSE I FELL IN LOVE WITH A GIRL AT THE TARASENK-SHOW

    Did Pavel kidnap Tarasenko out of his home in Florida?

  11. Tarasenko, DeBrincat, and Kane all being Red Wings is some shit I would try in NHL franchise mode. I wouldn’t think it would be real.

    Stevie saw the sub and was like fuck you guys watch this

    Our transformation to the St Louis Blues isn’t gone just yet

  14. John-Balaya

    Bro. I went to visit my Grandfather, who lived just outside STL and was a season ticket holder with them for 30+ years, with one of my brothers. He was too old to go at the time, but our Wings season opener was
    at the enterprise center against the Blues and he insisted we go without him. Copped a couple scalped tickets on the street, not knowing they were suite seats, all you can eat/drink/etc on the blue line. And then this fucking guy scores a hatty on what I think was his NHL debut and the Blues smoked us 6-1. Will never forget that day and fuck him but also hell yes Stevie Y cooking

    Edit: texted my brother and we were actually on center ice in this suite. Gotta try to find a photo now

    Have to keep up that St Louis North reputation

    Steve you dirty dog you. Facebook was wrong – the Yzerplan is *not* an abject failure. Good business here.

    Much rather pay 750k more and have this man over Perron

  19. I’m a Vlad Tarasenko stan who just follows my fandom for whoever he plays for until Atlanta gets another team. Honored to be joining you guys. Winged wheel is the best logo in sports. Also Tarasenko was analytically the 2nd best RW of the finals between both teams. He’s no longer a star but is objectively still a good player.
