Hope you all enjoy learning about the 1996 St. Louis Blues!
I love your guys videos super educational and well put together
Awesome video OMR. I've always wondered how many teams went for it all at the Deadline and ended up losing
Awesome video. I'm a Wings fan who was only 9 years old when I watched Stevie Y score that goal and now its forever in my memory. Its kind of funny that the Wings did kind of the same thing in 2002 when they won. It would have been even crazier if Gretzky had gone to Detroit instead of LA and the Wings would have been able to draft Bure like they tried to do.
And yet Mike Mulberry is still the king of bad trades. I'm interested to know how those move lingered for the Blue until 2019
Do-SHANE.
Wayne is over rated trash
I turned 14 the Blues first season in 1967 so have followed them closely all the way and remember this season well. Wayne Gretsky planned to retire in St. Louis with Brett Hull as they got along well, but could not take the personality of Mike Keenan. Mike Keenan did have his points wanting grinders to dig pucks out of the corners and tougher defensemen as he looked at the cause of the many Blues playoff failures. I sure do not remember so many changes so you sure did good mentioing them all. Reminds me of a Cardinals GM of the 1950s named Frank Trader Lane who went too far when trying to even trade Stan Musial and was eventually released. Keenan also wanted forwards like Brett Hull to play defense. I believe Shane Corson hit the post just prior to the Yzerman goal who let it fly from way out but Casey could not handle it. With so many changes I can see why team chemistry was a problem, but they almost beat Detroit. St. Louis also lost Gretsky and Brett Hull due to Mike Keenan. I think most of therir playoff faiilures came from not having enough on defense except for Mac Innis and Pronger and not enough for a goalie until 2019 with Jordan Binnington. Now if they had only let a young Scotty Bowman just run the team all himslef in their early years. Who would have known he was a HOF coach. Thanks for placing on Youtube.
