Sadly, this is all Blues fans can expect for tomorrow.

That's the wrong attitude to have though. I have zero doubt that the managment wants to win, and that's who your hurting with lack of ticket sells. You can see it in the whole Stillman family that they want this team to win.I'll be cheering for them, but it will be from home. If it weren't for the fact that I've already bought my season tickets for next year, I wouldn't be buying them. I refuse to give them any more money until they start earning it. The problem is that the regular season is always good, we just **** the bed in the playoffs.

Scoring the first goal might not even be in the Blues' best interests since we'll likely just start turtling right away.
I honestly can't even imagine them winning. That's how little hope I have.
I think it's already over.
Prediction: the Blackhawks will either kill them from the start, or the Blues will grab a quick 2-0 lead and then end up losing 6-2. It's gonna be brutal to experience.
If we're making predictions on how we'll lose...
Third OT. Blackhawks take a delayed penalty, we have the puck behind the net, throw it out in front and the next second feels like an hour as we all watch the puck trundle into our empty net.
Bluesiest loss of all time.
I'd be expecting that if it didn't rely on the referees calling a penalty on Chicago in OT.
I think it's a fine attitude. If the Stillman family wants to win then he needs to make the right decisions for this franchise. Refuse to allow Hitchcock back. Take a long look at Armstrong.That's the wrong attitude to have though. I have zero doubt that the managment wants to win, and that's who your hurting with lack of ticket sells.

That's the business of sports. How else are fans supposed to show their displeasure? It's not like we have the option to take money away from Hitchcock. Stillman and the owners are the only option and yeah it sucks for them, but people aren't going to spend money just because the owner is a nice guy. Fans are sick of the same old crap.
I agree. Unfortunately it won't happen.If they lose tomorrow (and I expect they will), Armstrong needs to be fired right away. Not in two weeks. Not in a month. Right away.
He's spending to the cap on a team where he doesn't have the income to support it. Do you honestly think he sits there and goes.." well the fans are still here, so whatever, this is fine". We'll never be on the inside of the organization to know what's going on and who's available. I HIGHLY doubt Hitch was their first choice to come back and by all measures except for the last week, he's done a good job. Armstrong on the other hand is still OK, he assembled a team that could convincingly beat the reigning champions, well almost I guess.I think it's a fine attitude.

Fans will talk about how the roster is so much better than in 2012.
But the team in 2012 actually won a series.
Armstrong isn't the dumbest person on the planet but he's gotten A LOT of help along the way. Of the Blues best playoff performers, he only brought one of them in (Elliott) and I'd say that was pretty much luck given how little confidence the Blues have shown in him over the years.
All the guys people are bashing and want more out of (Stastny, Shattenkirk, Brouwer, Bouwmeester) are the guys he specifically brought in. Coincidence?
If Army and Hitch want to act as if they're connected at the hip, I want both gone.
I would like a slow, agonizing death please.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thank you.
