Stenberg, Berggren and Broberg are the Blues only "+" players but yet Kyrou plays while Berggren sits

No reason Berggren should be sitting over others. Only other explanation is the name on his back and how he was acquired. Monty has definitely taken a big hit in my book this year. He doesn’t seem to have any answers. How can you watch this team night in, night out and make no true adjustments?

I made a thread over the summer last year askin what Monty has done to be so revered by everyone, and questioned his lack of playoff success, and he’s only given me more ammo to doubt him this year, especially with his coaching decisions and his blatant playing favorites with a couple of muck and grinders. I just dont have the confidence in him that others do

Monty has lost some all time heart breakers in the playoffs. Game 7 vs Blues coach of Dallas in 2OT. Coach of Boston when the Panthers came back. Coach of the Blues for collapse in Game 7 in WPG.

But I can look past coin flips like that in a way. To keep doing to same [shirt] this year while the team has been horrible, I just don't get. What do you have to lose by trying something different? You have a 5 year contract. It isn't like he's "putting lineups out there that he can explain in interviews" like the coach in Moneyball...

I get playing Sunny a lot i like Sunny he exemplifies what the Blue hockey brand should look like and there has been a shortage of PP guys with injuries. I dont like overuse of Buch i know they like him a lot he does actually kill PK and play well in his own end. As i have been saying and i dont know if its that realistic BUT Kyrou should sit to send the correct message to a team with a lot of young up and comers. If you dont play the right way you dont play at all

While I agree for the most part, that’s also another reason I dont think Monty’s a top coach…his blatant inconsistency when it comes to sitting or reducing one player’s ice time while letting another player who’s even more egregious play top minutes. Just totally sends mixed signals and is one of the easiest ways to lose the locker room as a whole.

I don't, and never will, get playing Sunny on the powerplay. He has not produced and he is occupying a spot that one of the kids should be getting to get powerplay experience. He doesn't even really stand in front of the net much. This isn't a matter of injuries. Sunny has gotten powerplay and end of game time when trailing all year. And, even so, he clearly is not doing anything to help the powerplay so why has something different not been tried just for the sake of it?

He is a 4th line player and a good PKer and I would not say a word about his use if that was how he was used.

I am interested to see what happens in that powerplay spot now that Monty doesn't have him as an option there.

he was there as the crease guy and someone that would dig pucks off the boards. problem there is, not getting enough pucks down low or to the net

that's not Sunny's problem

But it is the coaches' problem. I mentioned in my post that he doesn't really even stand in front of the net much anymore. If what he supposedly was there to do is not happening, why is he continually run out there? I don't blame Sunny that the coaches are playing him. This is a pure coaching issue.

Sunny on the PP is the most hilarious thing. He wouldn't make the roster at all on more than maybe 5 teams in the whole league, let alone get any PP time. The whole idea by itself is grounds for somebody to be fired.

Yea people are acting like he's Tomas Holmstrom out there and all they gotta do is get the puck to the front. He hasn't even shown that great of a propensity for being a net front tip guy. He's just recklessly fearless and will put his body on the line. Commendable no doubt, and great on the PK, but on this powerplay, his presence is basically giving the PKers a 4 on 4.

I just did though. Broberg’s situational awareness has been terrible and McDavid manhandled him physically … as did Stone.

LOL. You act like you're making a point, you aren't. The Stone hit was a cheap shot and McDavid is leading the league in points, arguably the best player in the World. Broberg isn't perfect, nor the best defenseman in the league or World, nor is he a thug like Stone is at times. He's just a very good and promising young defenseman and he's very widely acknowledged as such.

Nobody outside of here thinks it was a cheap shot…because it wasn’t. It was a puffy cancel out that happens every game. And McDavid owned him physically too…not just from a skill perspective (which is to be expected).

[PPG]

I mean Stone didn't exactly run him through the boards. It was definitely the way Broberg landed not some massive body check by the great Mark Stone...
Players get hurt like this quite a bit- doesn't mean he is soft or even injury prone. It's a bit silly to call a player with barely a full year in the NHL, injury prone... Now if this happens every year, then you may have something....
Very few players play all 82 games any more, especially those with lots of ice time. The more you play the more prone you are to get hurt.
