St. Louis loves Brayden Schenn (and Brayden Schenn loves St. Louis) 💙

[Lou Korac @lkorac10]

St. Louis loved Brayden Schenn and Brayden Schenn loved St. Louis. #stlblues

[Blues Views @STLBluesViews]

Trading for Schenn in 2017 was the start of the center overhaul this franchise needed. He was nothing but a great player and person for the organization. Gave it his all every night for nine years.

Thank you for every, Stanley Cup champion, Brayden Schenn. #STLBlues

[Jeff Ponder @jponder94]

And I truly hope that when Parayko is back in the lineup, he gets a standing ovation.

We talk a lot in the STL about being proud to be here. Clearly, Parayko loves it in this little Midwest city of ours.

Show him that love back at @Enterprise_Cntr.

A GOLDEN GOAL FOR GOLD!

[Rono @RonoAnalyst]

Scratching Jordan Kyrou over Pavel Buchnevich is certainly a choice.

[Blues Views @STLBluesViews]

I’m really trying not to hate on Pavel Buchenvich. I want him to prove me wrong. I want extending over trading him to work out..

But I can’t stand watching him. Slow, puck fumbler who can’t finish and whose defense has fallen off a cliff.

6 more years! 6 more years! #STLBlues

Typical Day as a Hedge Fund PM

6:00 - Wake up, check what Trump tariffed overnight. Cambodia up +200%, Paraguay -3% (they said thanks).

6:05 - Brew some coffee.

6:10 - Trump tweets that the laws are rigged, since he cannot tariff Arizona. Mentally scroll the portfolio for exposure…

6:15 - Check what happened in Asia and Europe.

6:22 - Trump announces that hot dogs will join the food pyramid. Bans hot dog exports. Fortunately our book dodged that one.

6:30 - Drink some coffee, talk to wife, pray Trump will spend the morning golfing so I can do some actual work….

6:31 - Trump announces that oil at $65 is too high. Threatens anyone who isn’t producing more oil.

6:32 - Top 5 position announces earnings, want to join the earnings call at 7am, but Trump just scheduled a press conference then, and he’s looking unpredictable.

7:02 - Trump announces that Japan can now export golf balls tariff-free, in honor of Abe letting him cheat at golf. Join the earnings call instead.

7:06 - Futures plunge 65 handles in a single tick, frantically leave the earnings call and go back to whatever Trump is still yapping about in his press conference.

7:10 - Scroll through premarket quotes. $NVDA and $PLTR are both up 5% b/c it’s a day ending in ‘Y’ but SPZ are now down 80 handles.

7:15 - Trump changed his mind and SPZ are now up 25 handles as everyone rushes to cover their short. (I re-join the earnings call)

7:30 - Some broker I’ve never heard of just downgraded a top 5 position and it’s down 15% on 300 shares traded. I’m pretty confident it will close around there too. (I crack open a beer as I skim his downgrade report, realizing that nothing productive will happen today…😩😩)

8:00 - An LP calls to remind me of some
ShitCoin he recommended that’s now up 1800% since he recommended it.

8:09 - 10-yr bonds gap down 17 bps, but all I can find is a tweet from Bessent about how great Main Street is doing.

8:15 - Some sell side asshole cold-calls me to see if I want a copy of his upgrade report on the AI sector. Tells me that “it’s going to be big and you don’t want to miss it.”

8:20 - Check my email, do 10 minutes of actual work.

8:30 - Trump threatens Brazil, I realize our BZ exposure is gonna get thumped on the open. (Crack open a 2nd beer)

8:33 - Reminisce about how productive I was, since Biden wouldn’t even wake up until noon.

8:40 - Chat with my CFO for 19 mins about some new compliance form we need to file.

8:59 - Trump Tweets about how stupid Powell is. Futures are back down 30 handles.

9:04 - Join a call 4 mins late with an endowment that wants an update, but 100% will never invest. “BTW - we need you to update the DDQ as we’ve changed our format” 😡😡

9:29 - Casino is opening. Let’s see what happens.

9:32 - I’m bored. Go back to reading emails. Turns out the govt created another new form we ALSO need to fill out…

10:00 - We’re actually up 50bps.

10:03 - Now down 175bps. Trump just threatened to bomb Europe.

10:06 - Tweets he was just joking about Europe. But those guys need to get their shit together bc he might still bomb them.

10:08 - Ready for bourbon. Beer won’t cut it…

10:30 - EIA oil inventory shows yet another massive draw. Oil drops 5% anyway.

10:40 - Don Jr’s latest SPAC rallies 300% on rumors it may launch a new ShitCoin

10:45 - Friend calls to cry about how cheap all his names are. We both agree we were idiots to invest in businesses with earnings.

11:22 - Trump reminds everyone about how much Putin likes him.

11:40 - Realize I’m now too tweaked to sit in the office. Turn off the machines and go get lunch with a friend who’s also gonna bitch about how stupid markets have become.

12:05 - Hostess at restaurant pitches me some ShitCoin. Claims she’s up a few million on it

12:07 - Friend starts bitching about how stupid it is to be an investor under Trump, and how we all made money under Biden. I agree with him, but we both agree it would be even stupider under Kamala…😩😩

[Jonny Lazarus @JLazzy23]

The draft age should be 19 so players are more likely to be ready when they step into the NHL after being picked, which in turn, will make people care even more about prospects and pay more attention to NCAA/Juniors.

[Darren R Pang @Panger40]

I’ve got no “Holy Jumpins” with this decision to remove @Jkellyhockey from the @StLouisBlues and @FanDuelSN_NOR broadcasts. He is an icon. He is a total pro.
He treats people with respect , like his Dad did before him. I am very disappointed and sad for the great fans of StL.

[Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli]

#stlblues have placed D Nick Leddy on regular waivers. The 34-year-old has one year left at $4m - Leddy and the Blues had been working together to find a trade partner where he’d get more opportunity.

Trade hasn’t materialized so taking a swing on waivers. Effortless skater.

[Mike Bartner @MikeBartner]

I get that STL has a bazillion forwards and need D, but my god does the value heavily lean toward MTL in this deal.

Bolduc 19-17-36 in 72 with very good defensive numbers as well and over 100 hits.

[Pete Blackburn @PeteBlackburn]

This whole NHL Draft presentation is some of the most bizarre, sloppily thrown together shit I've ever seen in pro sports. Every second is more bizarre than the last

[Jon Gruden @BarstoolGruden]

THE ST. LOUIS BLUES ARE IN THE HOUSE

Being down 2-0 gives you the chance to do something really special! Become the NIGHTMARES you know you can be tonight against Winnepeg!

Thank you Coach Montgomery, Jordan Binnington and all the @StLouisBlues let's get a win tonight!

[Blues Views @STLBluesViews]

Justin Faulk is now at 17 straight games without a non-empty net point, despite averaging 23:34 and seeing time on the top PP unit.

His -4.2 Goals Above Replacement ranks 10th worst in the NHL and 4th worst among Dmen.

His NTC becomes modified (15 teams) next season. #STLBlues
