I think he means historically. Some playoff series I'd rather forget come to mind.
Plus the fact we've lost all three times we've played them this year.
An overtime win, a 2-1 win, and a 1-0 win. Yeah, they're all wins, but I don't think of that as "owning" a team. Now, what San Jose has done to use this year... 6-2, 6-3, 4-2... they've [expletive] owned the Blues, and I have no desire to see the Sharks/Kings/Ducks in the playoffs.

Well, we've managed to get 1 point of a possible 6. Vancouver got all 6. That sucks.

I flat out hate SJ. Always have, always will.

Confirming reports that Ryan Miller is a late scratch tonight. It's believed that a deal is imminent and STL is the likely destination.
From Jeremy Rutherford.

Steve Ott also a late scratch FWIW.

Blockbuster deal, it's a big shake-up. I'm not the biggest Ott fan, and I was never interested in trading Halak for Miller, but it's a big trade.

Stl gives up a 2015 1st & a conditional pick. If Miller re-signs or we make WCF, they get our 1st this year. If not, a 3rd in 2016.

Sucks to lose a couple picks, but I don't mind giving up Stewart. I like this move, we are finally in a position to win a Cup so let's [expletive] go for it.

Sign Miller for 3 years, have him groom Allen to take over when he is done.

I am a very casual hockey fan, and since my wife is from Buffalo, I root for the Sabres. I don't need to tell you how much you guys will love Ryan Miller. But I will absolutely be pulling for the Blues in the playoffs (especially since my 7 year old became a huge Oshi fan 2 weeks ago, and Shattenkirk is from my hometown). Good luck! Win the cup!

Wooooohoooooo!!! This is [expletive] awesome. Pure Army. He knows this is a special team and he went above and beyond to give them the best chance to win it all this year. It seems like everything is lining up. How awful is it going to be when they get swept in the first round?
