that goal was CLEARLY the fault of not clearing the puck.
puck on your stick and you can't clear the zone?????????
TERRIBLE AND HORRIBLE
Blues have, and have had for a long time, a big problem CLEARING THE PUCK.
That wasn't a systemic issue, it was a mental error by Mailloux and he knows it. He'll learn.
perhaps on that one,
in general, the Blues DO HAVE that systemic issue.
I know that some of you criticize Schenn a lot, but
He does know how to shoot. That’s why he plays in the overtimes and the shootouts-but that’s for another time (unless we go to overtime tonight).
That was nice passing from Kyrou to Stenberg to Schenn.
Then Fabbri had a nice cross ice long pass to Snuggerud for a shot on goal. More of those…

Of any blue I have ever seen, Schenn has whiffed on more empty nets than anyone and it’s not close.

Mailloux still is involved in way too many plays like that…
100%. Just because he’s improved from his disturbing level of bad doesn’t mean he’s been very good. He just passed it directly on a Sabre’s tape in the neutral zone before the break.
I also don’t like that he hasn’t shown much of his offensive strength. Again better than before but I hate having him this season as a team that is right on the border of making/missing the playoffs.
Somebody just did a nice hard and great looking check. Oh here it is….its Schenn. If Kerber and Joey weren’t talking nonsense, they would’ve announced who made the check.
Thankfully, the camera men had a replay ready
So I was gonna write the above and then Fabbri and Snuggerud combine for a nifty goal

Yea. He’s been better than he was. But the advanced stats have him as the 2nd worst game average in the entire league for players with more than 10 games played. He was last for a long time but Romanov for the Isles recently “passed” him.
He’s got a long way to go. Much longer than many here are willing to admit.
