They need to extend him again at 3.5 million after that spectacular play.

Kidding aside, it was a nice net drive...something that needs to happen multiple times every game.

The old definition of insanity……you would think Buch is Ovie the way they use him.

Parayko doesn't have a goal? The only dude on the team with a 100mph shot and he's got 0 goals??? Doesn't seem like they ever try to set him up.

That’s because he can’t hit the net. Always high and wide.

I just don't understand how a pro hockey player can't hit the net?
Baffles me...

He’s getting like Buch, he never wants to shoot any more. He gets the puck and starts thinking, by then it’s too late to shoot. The again that’s 2/3 of the team now

Talk about low scoring,

Kyrou and Snuggerud for having very hard shots,
It seems like they rarely challenge the goaltender and get a good shot off (not counting the Schenn goal with a couple of minutes to go.
I’m talking about generally all season. These players don’t look like a threat. I know ..add a bunch of our others players too. Than
Powerless play again. 3 opportunities

The whole concept is stupid. It’s like their PP doesn’t acknowledge that teams are aggressive on the PK and the Blues are setting up like they have a 5 on 2 PP (and that isn’t a typo) No urgency. No flow. No idea.

I was expecting Kyrou to come back from injury re-energized and focused as he was slipping before he got hurt. He also almost never gets hurt so this was a rare reset opportunity for him. So far he’s been completely invisible and tentative with the puck

They had a moment of silence for him and Bob Pulford.

Probably as much as they practice penalty shots.

None of them want to shoot ever. Except for Faulk, Tucker, schenn. Not exactly your goal scorers

Kyrou telegraphs that. Can’t our players figure out better strategies for shots We have the lowest shot total in the league
