Kyrou - benched

[netboy65]

If I’m Kyrou I tell my agent talk to Army about finding somewhere for me to go. Tired of being the scapegoat for other issues in the organization.

That's what they're hoping will happen, it's not rocket science.

Addition by subtraction.

Second leading scorer on the team not getting the ice time. 6 goals in last 3 for the team. Yeah that makes sense bench him. Media and fanbase have made the guy the reason for losses since he’s been here.

Kyrou: always the victim, according to his booster club.

Kyrou: always the main problem, according to his haters. Thing is, he’s a 70 pt a year guy.

Oh ohhhhh wow 70 pts
best player I ever saw
never cost his team a game
true heart and soul player
what a guy WHAT A GUY

Far from the problem is all he’s saying I believe.
Yes he scores which is more than a lot of this roster does

"I've got no comment. He's not my coach anymore." the sequel might be heading our way soon.....

Kryrou 2 - This time it's emotionless

Berube’s run here had ended. Unfortunate, but that happens with most coaches. This time, Monty wins the battle and Kyrou will be gone……if it comes to that.

I disagree that he is far from the problem simply bc he puts up points. Kyrou is the core of the problem and the team’s identity issues.

Even if the Blues were winning the softness and selfishness he represents is one of the two main reasons the Blues cannot advance in the playoffs as constructed.

To be clear, scoring is obviously very important and Kyrou can do it probably better than anyone on the current roster. That’s not good and that doesn’t mean continue down this path that has almost zero chance of leading to glory.

I always find it interesting when coaches get run off when they're just saying what the next coach is going to say. If the coach's message is to play sound, structured hockey, then the problem is the player and he's the one that needs to go.

It's a LOT easier to fire a coach than it is to get rid of a player.

Not most of the time.

Players arent traded, contracts are.

Nope. There are player trades all the time.

Blues are undefeated when Kyrou is a healthy scratch.

[a smell of green grass]

Late last year, some thought that Kyrou's contract would be considered a steal in a couple years. Doug Army was one of those fools.

Getting rid of Kryou is not the complete answer. We need to get rid of the guy that overvalued Kyrou and gave him the LT contract. As it turns out, it is the same guy that overvalued Buchnevich.

Show Army the door.

[Mr.Snuggleupagus]

I heard Thomas was benched (or sidelined) for half of the 2nd period.

[britishblue]

I have never been a fan of Kyrou but 2nd half of last year he was really starting to make me come round.

This year he is back to his floating/not back checking self.

The fact we have seen that he can play a more complete game and be a difference maker is just really disappointing.

He needs to go.

Kyrou is the epitome of soft. And that will not play long-term in the NHL and certainly not in the playoffs as we saw against Jets.

Berrube was right. Armstrong was wrong.

[Harry York 37]

Why single out Kyrou? This team is full of underachieving, uninspired players.

100 percent true.

There are several underachievers, however-

No one quits as easily, as often, or as hard as Kyrou.

He is a soul-killer.
It is inexplicable that he has been able to leverage his high-end, but one-note, skill into bullying his way out of a benching for so long.
If they had let the Chief follow through on his plan to steer Kyrou- against Kyrou’s will- to be a complete hockey player who was unafraid to make plays when contact is involved.we could have avoided so much needless turmoil and, perhaps, seen Jordan Kyrou become a hockey player that any other NHL team would eagerly seek to sign.
His compete level is execrable.

Tonight’s game was the most competitive game they played all year.

No one is aking him to throw a single check,
What they need to see in a member of their hockey team is a player who looks like he cares enough to make a play whenever it might help his team succeed. They are sick of seeing a player who looks like the game does not matter very much unless he is in open ice in the offensive zome with the puck on his stick.

I am stunned that people do ne not get this, even if they are not savvy enough to see it for themselves.

[Harry York 37]

For years I said that Doug Armstrong was exceptionally overrated at hockey assessment for trusting the character of this player to be the foundation for anything. I had some miserable battles with fellow fans. Then Kyrou started coming around. I acknowledged it and adapted to it, I literally placed money on Kyrou to reach 63 points this year, maybe he will. But he is a trick.

I can't begin to express how disgusted I was with his effort last night, which was pathetic and the game turned on it when he failed to clear the zone in that incredible long shift when he had the chance. I know that in that moment Montgomery had to hate this player, and was correct.

What this player is, is the player born to be defeated by the other person who chooses to aim higher for himself. That's it. He is a born L.

I apologize to Harry for defending this guy. I can't wait to see the Kyrou Era end. I posted about trading him before his NTC a lot because I did deeply worry he couldn't be trusted. I wish the Blackhawks had nothing but Kyrous, that's the biggest indictment.

Accepted. You are a well spoken and stout fellow. I do my best to admit it when I realize a supposition has proved unsupportable. It’s how we learn, ain’t it? Well,it’s one of the ways we learn..
You aren’t alone in being fooled by Kyrou twice. So was I and that means shame on us.
And ithat is why it pisses us off even worse than the first time.

Kerber made it fairly clear near the end of the game while discussing the theory and practice of getting benched. He said something like, “You either learn your lesson and prove it the next game back” and then it seemed he gritted his teeth and ended with an ominous, “Or ya don’t!”.
