[Signing] Blues sign Maxim Lapierre


Recommended Posts

Trying to help alter the culture of the team, and the reputation in the league's eyes, does make sense.

Whether it works or not is the question.

Gonna miss Lappy and all the hits.

This was a move made to try and rid a bad image. Did a great job for the team. Refs targeted him against the Sharks and we can't have fourth liners getting costly penalties.

St.Louis just got even tougher to play.

You mean to tell me we couldn't afford 1.1M for Lapierre? Even if it's just for 2 years to give our newly drafted centres some time to develop?

I realize our cap crunch but wow. I guess it's going to be really tight in trying to re-sign Tanev, Schroeder and Weise.

Actually, Torts is respected by the hockey world and hated by the media.

Big difference. I speak from a place of knowledge on this one.

FYI, I was against Torts. Willing to wait and see.

I was stoked when the Canucks first acquired Lapierre. It was great to see him play well during the Stanley Cup run but I have to admit that his play has diminished since then. Hopefully he finds the same level of tenacity that he brought to Vancouver initially (but not against the Canucks of course). Either way, the Blues get another big, physical forward - will be an even more punishing physical matchup next season.
