If only had bought the team sooner, maybe we wouldn't be hopelessly out of the playoff race. :(

theres not much that he can do as long as you have the same gm.

if he fires the gm there is no guarantee that he would have given you a chance at the playoffs

Pleau'll probably be gone. Joel Quenneville shouldn't have been the one fired, it should've been Larry Pleau.

I have really been amazed by how he's been able to keep his job so long.

Wow this unbelievable news. I figured once i stopped hearing anything about the ownership situation that all of a sudden they would get one haha. Well this is good news for right now but it is better news for the future. Now we will have a great draft pick next season and cap room to sign Free agents.

Blues fans can breath easier

And I forgot to respond about Larry Pleau. Very nice man (at least he was to me when I got to meet him a several occasions), but horrible General Manager. Can his ass

I think he also was a checker at Wal-Mart on weekends.
