@Johnny_Replies @Badhombre They could be free and some people would still steal them. It's just who they are.

@twelcher15 He didn't run after it because the RF was already closing on it. He would (and did) reach it long before Pete could.

@BNightengale Time for replacement players!

VGK vs CAR - Whoever wins, the fans lose. The two most unlikeable teams in the NHL.

Cut Pallante now.

The 2026 Cardinals are doing so well because His Awfulness (Mo) is gone finally. It's so clear!

The Blues finish with four 20-goal scorers in 25/26:
Thomas, Holloway, Snuggerud, and Buchnevich.

Kyrou missed by 2 goals, Neighbours by 5.

@AaronMSTL He was godawful in the last 2-3 seasons. Couldn't get a hit to save his life. It marred his career in my opinion. I dislike him for collecting millions while turning in such a poor performance. Should give a lot of that money back to the Cardinals.

@STL_Stats_Facts Thank god he’s not in a cardinals uniform 😬🤦🏼‍♂️

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

McGreevy is an ace in the making.

This is our daily reminder that Walker is a bust and the sooner the Cardinals move on, the better off they'll be as an organization.

Nothing is going to stop this ship from sinking.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

@STL_Stats_Facts They are both total busts. Cut them now and spare us the angst.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

The Blues find themselves freed from the D-corps cap nightmare:

- Leddy was waived last year
- Krug's career is over
- Faulk was just traded to DET

The new top 4 is Parayko-Broberg-Fowler-Mailloux.

@MattPauleyOnAir My tweet was of course hyperbole. I give Mo credit for the players he did acquire but IMO the balance of the scale is tipped toward the negative, that being the failure to properly reinforce the roster when the signals were there to buy.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

@dgoold Why did the Cardinals bring back Pozo when they could play Crooks? Too many catchers - it's a problem.

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

@dgoold @MattPauleyOnAir What big news. There was literally nothing big that happened in his miserable tenure. Good riddance!

[Open Ice Notes @OpenIceNotes]

The #stlblues got quite a haul for two players who aren't part of the long-term.

Schenn is a middle six forward now who maybe won't hit 15 goals this year. To get a 1st AND a 3rd, plus other pieces, is just unbelievable.

And the team shouldn't be that much less competitive.

I remember where I was when the trade news broke. He was the top 6 center they desperately needed. I took my wife dancing but I spent all night reading analyses.

[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

@The_Ryan_Shull Cut that fat Pages and make Crooks the backup.
