Blues couldn't kill penalties or 6 on 5s all year

So they were never going far in the playoffs with that level of ineptitude when the opponent has the man advantage.

Heck, if the opponent played the whole game with the EN, they might lose every game 20-5.

It need to be addressed. Giving up that many 5 on 6 goals is not aberration, it’s a failure. Clearly they need better personnel on that unit.

Or please get it through their heads to chip it out, not ice it. Also with less than 20 seconds pin the puck against the boards rather than running it along the board to the opponent’s point man.
