3rd round pick?
Jordan Binnington
#NHLBruins
knock out Robert Thomas with a hit, Vince Dunn with a puck to the jaw.
Bruins fans: “Don’t poke the bear! This is a man’s game!”
#STLBlues
knock out Grzlchsgkdnc with a hit, Chara with a puck to the jaw.
Bruins fans: “Blues are the dirtiest team in the NHL”
🤦♂️
A Stanley Cup Champion goalie on a bad team who’s already pissed off for being hung out to dry by his teammates gets clipped and goes scorched earth. I freakin LOVE it. Anybody trashing Binnington hates him already, has never played the game or is a
#mnwild
fan.

#twitterhockey
is raw sewage sometimes. Defend the repeat offender who's been suspended six times by the NHL, three times in the playoffs, but crucify the goalie he took out of the playoffs for throwing a water bottle that never hit him. Okurr.
#STLBlues
The problem with
#stlblues
Colton Parayko is that he's 6'6" and plays like he's 5'9" which makes him incredibly ineffective
The problem with Torey Krug is that he's 5'9" and plays like he's 6'6" which was cool until he hit 30 and his body started breaking down like a PT Cruiser
Here’s hoping Matthew Tkachuk follows Brett Hull, Al MacInnis and Jay Bouwmeester who were traded from Calgary to St Louis and had awesome careers with the
#STLBlues
This isn't meant to be sarcastic or condescending: If you watched both
#STLBlues
games vs Calgary this week and think the only difference between the 7-1 L and the 5-1 W was goaltending, stop tweeting. Start watching games more closely. Ask questions. Learn this beautiful game.
The
#GoAvsGo
are so good and so powerful. One of the top forward lines in all of hockey, plus that wizard kid Makar on defense? They are going to absolutely DESTROY the
#STLBlues
in the three games they’re going to win in this second-round series. Blues in 7.
One of the most emotional events I've ever witnessed. When it stopped halfway and his brother Barclay came down to escort him to the rafters, there wasn't a dry eye in the joint. Can't believe it's been 5 years.

fans wanting to run Binnington out of town need to watch video of the stretch run and playoffs of 2019. And "flash-in-the-pan? Nah, son. Dude's always been a winner. Spare me the analytics-nerd replies. He's in a funk and needs to play through it.
We all knew Tarasenko was headed to COVID protocol. He had all the telltale symptoms like intensity, great skating and playmaking, misconduct penalties and smashing a stick to pieces in the tunnel. Feel better, boo.
#STLBlues
A lot of
#STLBlues
fans missed the subtlety in this victory tweet, including me - until the esteemed

DM’d me. Every tweet up until this one was address to “Beloved” to protect the recipient from enemy attack. Only after victory do we learn her name.

To my Beloved Gloria
We are coming home, the war is over, the crown has slipped from heads unworthy. Boston has surrendered, from this day to the ending of the world it shall be remembered as our day. We lucky few we band of brothers have won

#stlblues
As a
#STLBlues
fan I've been critical of Binnington's childish temper tantrums and he needs to control his emotions, but I refuse to see Nazem Kadri as some victim or martyr because a water bottle was thrown at him. Tell me how I'm on the wrong side of this.
Nice of Doug Armstrong to reassure Matthew Tkachuk by extending Robert Thomas for eight years. Guarantees he'll be playing hockey with his best friend for a looooong time here in STL.
#STLBlues
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’d rather listen to Pierre McGuire tell me how “David Pair On grew up in Sherbrooke and played his junior hockey for the Lewiston Maineiacs of the QMJHL” than listen to Leah Hextall call play by play in an NHL game. This is unlistenable.
The
#stlblues
offloaded the expiring contract of a 27yo 3rd liner who was having a down year and in exchange received a 20yo who was drafted 30th overall, but Armstrong “got fleeced”? LOL okurr.
I'm not qualified or inclined to use social media to give a history lesson, but let's just say that today would be a good day for not complaining about your life.
Hilarious the number of
#nhlbruins
fans still salty that Binnington destroyed their hopes and dreams by embarrassing them on home ice.

This team abandoned the parade floats and walked the 1+ mile parade route with the Cup to share it with
#STLBlues
fans, then hijacked STL bars to continue partying with the fans. That was enough. Their day with the Cup is THEIR DAY with the Cup. This isn't about you, Denise.
Everyone talks about Game 7 and "when they knew" we were going to win the Cup. This was the moment the
#STLBlues
players knew. Congrats on the extension Chief!
What a crazy, bloody, lucky, gutsy, sweaty, ugly, edgy, iffy, zany, ballsy, quirky, dicey, bumpy, messy, panicky, jittery, wild ass ride it was. Thanks for finally moving STL from a fly-over state to the home of the Stanley Cup Champions.
#STLBlues
Hockey players are pros and will give their best to any team they play for, but those Tkachuk boys would go through a f*&%in wall for the Blue Note.
#STLBlues
The Chicago
#Blackhawks
covered up reports that a sexual predator was raping their prospects and when they found out, never even filed a police report. Their punishment from Gary Bettman's NHL was Connor Bedard. man, I love this game but I hate this league.

Ottawa will have to forfeit a first-round pick in one of the next three drafts (its choice) for its role in the aborted 2022 trade of Evgeni Dadonov from Vegas to Anaheim
You guys ever thought about replacing your coach, having two of your players fight in practice, and then go to Philly and latch on to a catchy 80s tune?
Any

fans saying Drury “fleeced” the
#stlblues
have zero understanding of Tarasenko’s contract situation and are still incredibly embarrassed over the Buchnevich trade.
Did the ESPN broadcast just float Toropchenko as trade bait? Why would the
#stlblues
get rid of a 23 year old cost-controlled winger who’s done everything they’ve asked of him?
This guy saw
@leahck55
flyin the L to Chicago and immediately created a twitter account so he could send exactly ONE tweet, a reply. Most of us will never experience that kind of power. Well done, brave soul. Keep flyin those Ls.

Jordan Kyrou today, speaking with reporters:
"Just work, that's all it is. Just got to keep working, and just work harder. You've got to work twice as hard, you know."
#stlblues
Jordan Kyrou tonight:
A twitter search for “Binnington” and it’s a bunch of
#nhlbruins
fans who can’t get him outta their head. LOL your team has like 60 wins but you’re still obsessed. Just like MIN and COL fans.
#stlblues
Most
#STLBlues
fans would be shocked to learn who he's really talking about, the list of "guys that don't care whether they're playing in St Louis or Columbus".
“We have too many guys that don’t care if they’re in St.Louis or Columbus” 😳
Kelly Chase doesn’t hold back on why the Blues are struggling and the Flyers are exceeding expectations 🔥⬇️

Just a friendly reminder that since the trade to the

, Pavel Buchnevich is scoring over a point per game and is just entering his prime years. I'd hate to see those prime years wasted, Doug.
Hot tip for all the noobs on
#STLBlues
twitter: Blaming a goalie for a 5-1 loss is the quickest and easiest way to let everyone know that you don’t know jack shit about the game of hockey, and probably just watch games to see the fights.
Who does this remind you of? A lot of teams are gonna pass on Lane Hutson because he's 5 foot 8 and change. I wonder how many will regret it.
#NHLDraft
#STLBlues
Kelly Chase was spot on. Too many players on this
#stlblues
team playing for individual stats, too few willing to sacrifice those for team success.
@Chasenpucks39
NHL trade deadline is March 21st. Great time to remind
#STLBlues
fans to look for the blue verified checkmark before retweeting (or even believing) trades on twitter. Doug Armstrong’s team doesn’t leak rumors.
Binnington goes from playing behind Pietrangelo and Bouwmeester to playing behind Parayko with a bad back and Scandella, but my mentions get stuffed with analytics. Log off and watch some hockey. Seriously, it's a pretty cool game.
#STLBlues
Good grief, calm tf down.
1. Thomas and Kyrou are not actually filming a TikTok video
2. The
@StLouisBlues
have played 10 games. Their record is 7-2-1
3. The Blues' social media team posted this as a joke.
#STLBlues
Colton Parayko is not only an elite defender, but the best defenseman on the
#stlblues
. He is the heart and soul of this team and lays it all on the line every game. But I suppose if teams are asking about him we may as well listen to the offers. But man is he a great defenseman.
This is why:
1. The
#stlblues
should 100% be sellers
2. Bannister’s “success” is fool’s gold
3. I have zero confidence in this roster to make any noise in the playoffs if they get in
This team has a first line and a fourth line. The middle six and the defense is just a mess.
This is sweet, but thank God NHL franchises aren’t retiring numbers based on emotions. Steen was a great player for the
#STLBlues
but if we’re talking retiring jersey numbers, he’s nowhere near the conversation.
So it looks like Zach Bolduc’s future with the
#stlblues
is over before it even started, according to some fans who went to training camp drills and watched some 4 on 4 scrimmages.
Wow
#NHLBruins
coach Bruce Cassidy is whining in his presser and looks like he already lost the series. “It was a missed effing call…” I’m so thankful for Chief.
#stlblues
Welcome to the off-season. This is a great time to once again remind all
#STLBlues
fans that life is a lot less heartburny if you pledge allegiance to the crest on the front, not the name on the back.
With the start of NHL free agency it’s a good time for a sobering reminder, especially for the new
#STLBlues
fans. It’s best to pledge allegiance to the crest on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back.
