Well its official St. Louis sports are dying. Today Joel Quenville, the
Blues winningest coach was fired for sub par performance. I'm not sure how
much of it was his fault since he wasn't given much to go with this year. I
mean he's got Kachuck who is an ok Forward that's like a more physical
version of Brett Hull, though Hull had/has a better shot than Kachuck. They
have Doug Weight but i mean isn't he like 89? And Pronger who is the
backbone of the team but doesn't have the leadership qualities that he is
looked to for. Why they didn't sign say Darrian Hatcher or some other high
powered guy in the off season is a mystery to me, granted Hatcher is out of
commision right now. They let the other teams gobble up the great players
and hope that the tradition of going to the playoffs year after year won't
end. Well it looks like this year is the year it ends. Personally I blame
Pleau the GM, he hasn't gotten the great stars in that he should. He lets
teams like Detroit and Colorado hog all the great players and expects to go
up against these powerhouses with has beens and unproven youth and no goalie
and win?? Hockey is a like baseball at times with Detroit being the Yankees
and Colorado being the Braves of the 90s. However unlike baseball these
great players can be gotten because their salaries, though big, are not
astronomical like baseball players. Though the cool cool thing about hockey
is a nobody can always have a shot against a juggernaut, Miracles happen in
hockey.
But then theirs the Cardinals... what are they doing??? They make one big
deal and thats keeping Poo hole. Great he can't win the division by himself.
They didn't go after any big name players either this off season. And now
the Cubs and Astros will dominate the cards all season long and we'll have
something similar to the blues's season this year, disappointment.
Then their's the Ram's Mad Man Martz is running the ship like an
insane assylum and is foolishly squandering his players. Guh.... where's teh
St. Louis Steamers?? WHere are you St. Louis Storm??? St. Louis Stampede WE
NEED YOU!!!
