The odd thing is...i'm not overly impressed by St Louis roster. They are slow but they are big. I guess the bigger teams just cause a lot of problems for us. Feels like we should be in a better position based on some of our younger skaters and their speed

Yeah teams like that give us issues for sure. We just seem to lose a ton of battles against teams like that and they really wear us down - we seem to very rarely have any speed thru the neutral zone against teams like that as well. I agree with @TheGoodShepard1 tho it's crazy how shot everyone looks with this many games to go. I personally think it is because of Cronin's insistence on playing MoM defense.

It is just way too much skating for these guys. I know other teams do it successfully but that's probably because they are better at executing it (more efficient/make better reads) and/or are in better shape. Probably mostly the former IMO.

That wasn't a lot of reading. It was a long post due to all the screenshots of charts as receipts for the rebuttal.

A $7 mil AAV player (Terry) needs to be doing more offensively, according to you, despite leading the team in scoring and around an 0.80 ppg rate. A $6.25 mil AAV player (Killorn) producing at a 0.42 ppg rate, isn't one of the top-7 scorers on the team and he's useless, according to you. Trouba is making $8 mil AAV and his ppg rate is at 0.17, but no comment on team's most expensive player not doing more offensively. If you're using AAV salary as your contention of ire, then your conclusions are askew.

Brother it will be ok..

I ain't dodging shit. We have different opinions on a player. That's the end of that.
