Last year it was a Blues problem and apparently it still is.
Goalies shouldn’t be shooting for the goal, atleast pass it to one of your skill players.

After game 7 last year…Monty promised he’d fix it…well…promise broken…because it ain’t fixed…(2) icings and allowing goalie to ice it only up by (1) goal…he ain’t Ovechkin taking that shot.bluecard04 wrote: ↑09 Nov 2025 08:30 am Last year it was a Blues problem and apparently it still is.

Re: Good ole 6 on 5
Last night,
6 on 5 . Sure did look alot like last year terrible 6 on 5, trying to protect a 1 goal lead and not get scored on.
It is still massive problem for the Blues
The Blues still lose alot of Critical Late game faceoffs .
The Blues lost both faceoffs with 11 seconds left in regulation and the Overtime faceoff where they never touch the puck again.
.
Plus the Blues seem to me this year and last year.
They missed alot open nets, to win the game and Monty pointed that out in his post game last night.
He pointed out that Robert Thomas and another Blues player (not Hofer attempt) but another Blues player had a chance to win this game and they both missed the open net.
IMO
The Blues need to get alot better at winning Big Late in the game Critical faceoffs and get alot hungrier and better at getting open empty net goals when the game is on the line.

Re: Good ole 6 on 5
Hofer doesn’t ice the puck time expires. Little things.
