It's more than a slap in the face. It's shoving you in the mud and spitting on you. It's not just a betrayal of us, and of the Vietnamese people, but of American principles. |
Owning the Blues has been a wonderful life experience for our family. We'll miss the thrills of arriving on game night, the big wins, the loyal fans and the best people in the world -- and that's hockey people -- the staff, players, coaches, trainers and everyone associated with the game. We fell in love with hockey and we'll always love the Blues. |
Owning the Blues has taken its toll on my family. Seeing all of the fans leaving in tears after another Blues' loss is just too much. My family and I can't take it anymore. |
This whole situation was very complicated ... It takes time. Quite honestly, in my mind, everybody was wondering how it took so long to get the team sold. In the world of sports, I feel like we got it done fairly quick. From the very beginning, Dave and his group was best suited for St. Louis out of all the buyers. I always thought that. When we had the exclusive period with them, it didn't quite get done. But luckily, it circled back around, and on the second go, we did get it done. |
We went about as far as we could and did everything possible there, and it didn't happen for whatever reason -- injuries, sickness, wrong personnel, who knows? But we've had a good run and enjoyed it. But right now, our family is ready to move on. |
