	Larry Pleau gets extension from Blues.. - HFBoards
		While I would have been fine with firing Pleau and starting with a clean slate, Pleau is respected in USA hockey and across the league and there are far worse alternatives then keeping the guy who is most familiar with the franchise and its prospects.
		Pleau actually did a good job of building a young team that won the President's Trophy in 1999....it was only at the order of Bill Laurie was he forced to trade away youth for the likes of Tkachuk and Weight....setting the franchise on the course that led to last year's collapse....
		Pleau should have not been given the opportunity to be a part of the new direction of the Blues.

		General manager Larry Pleau said the Blues, a team supposedly built for the playoffs, gave a halfhearted effort Saturday while being eliminated 4-0 by the Detroit Red Wings to end a five-game series.
		That's not the kind of effort Pleau expects from a team with a $55 million payroll even if they were banged up with Ray Ferraro finishing perhaps his final playoff run playing with a torn knee ligament and Shjon Podein weakened by a cracked rib.
		Pleau was happy with the progress of Johnson, 25, who gradually took over the No. 1 goalie job.
