Crazy idea

Post by swatski »

Hard to obviously pin down one thing but should we try to get some continuity with the lines. It really appears to me they guys have no connectivity at all in their moving the puck. The guys pass too far ahead, too far behind, drop the puck to nobody, pass it directly to the opposition time after time. They seem to be miscalculating all the time where their teammate is gonna be. It does appear we vastly overrated their talent but at least if they got to play a little more with consistent linemates, it might help. Your thoughts?

The bottom three NHL defenseman are a bit mystifying the Blues seemed to have great overvalued Tucker and or Kessel. Not sure where the disconnect is there, this is amplified by forward lazy play and mistakes and lack of key saves

It sure looked like everyone was out of sync last night and the constant line juggling can’t be helping. I’ve never seen this many bad passes and puck bobbles in a game before.

Only having 4 nhl quality defenseman is really hurting also. I want Mailloux to succeed but he is a train-wreck every time he’s on the ice. I tend to think +/- is an antiquated stat but he’s on pace to be -103 right now.

The only 2 defensemen that are either even or plus on the team. You're funny.
