Watching the Blues seems like groundhog day

It’s the same thing over and over. The other team tries to score in OT while we skate backwards and have trouble even passing to one another. We are a horrible passing team. We throw passes into legs and the other team or sometimes we just throw them to no one.

There were coaching improvements playing Borberg over Parayko, getting Dvorsky out there. Next step is to try Mailloux as well, Blues dont shoot the puck rebounds and chaos are how a lot of goals are scored in OT and it starts with shots. Thomas, Kyrou and Buch all want to make plays but they aren't great shooters right now. The rotations need to be Thomas, Dvorsky with Snuggerud, Kyrou, Neighbors, Broberg, Faulk, Mailloux or Fowler I guess. Dont want to see Schenn and Suter out there or really Buch until he starts to put it together. Get possession work it to the net and shoot

It’s not a coaching improvement really. They are feeling out whether they want to throw a Hutson deal his way. Whether they think they can win with him.

Broberg hasn’t earned much thus far imo. Your assessment of him has been way off

The primary problem is aging veterans who have lost a step and lines that clicked but no longer do. This is the same situation as the Cardinals: move out high priced, aging veterans and moving to young players with potential. They won’t all reach optimum performance but at least we have hope. Not much hope in thinking aging vets might turn things around.
