He was a noticeable absence on the bench.I see Schenn is out with a ubi. Anyone know what happened?
they couldn't get anything going on that first PP.This powerplay is looking a little out of sorts.
That is exactly what I was wondering!!! Looked like he lost his stick and tried to grab a Yotes' stick.Toropchenko loses his stick in the O-Zone, grabs a Coyote's stick for a holding penalty. Blues must kill off a penalty half in this period, and half on the fresh ice at the start of The 2nd.
The Coyotes mascot went all over the rink banging a drum, but all we heard was Let’s Go Blues!!!Holy hell there’s a bunch of Blues fans there tonight
Browns been looking great in these last few games
I never like to complain about a road win but that one got a little too close for comfort considering how dominant the Blues were in the first 2 periods. CB was talking about turnovers and being soft in the D-zone in the 3rd but HE is the one who put 25 right back on the ice after that horrible turnover.
The thing about Kyrou that really aggravates me outside of the turnovers is his lack of competitiveness. He gives up and coasts and mistakes dont seem to faze him. You see players make that same turnover where they get stripped of the puck inside their own blueline all the time but most try to aggressively get back and disrupt any scoring chances. He just coasted and on the goal 44 seconds later he was found coasting again. He has the speed to get back and disrupt plays, he chooses to give up on them instead.
Maybe the Play-Offs bring a better compete level to his game but Im not seeing it. I think if any player gets hot in the Play-Offs that's not been playing well it will be O'Reilly. He's been slow with the puck this season. Im not worried about his speed--he's slow--but I am worried about his decision making with the puck and lack of execution. Im hoping the new season, different style of play more suited to him and adrenaline will help him focus.
We shall see.
Tarasenko is the MVP, he elevates any line he is on. Thomas Kyrou, Barbi Buch, now Thomas Buch. Faulk has been an amazing 2nd pair dman though.I might be alone in this opinion, but the Blues MVP this year is 72. Thomas, Vlad, and Buch have the benefit of each other’s talent and chemistry.
Faulk is +41, for crap’s sake. (I know, i know, +/- and all that.) His partner is +23. He is only 26 seconds behind Parayko in TOI per game, and gets 2.5 minutes more than Krug. That tells my simple brain he is used in more situations than the “sheltered” label that second pairing has gotten. 15 G and 30 A from the blue line.
And he stands up for his teammates and isn’t afraid to mix it up.
DA picked the right guy to be in our core, and he is our MVP.
I'd like to think that when the Blues played him through the benchmark for forfeiting that 4th rounder, he gained some confidence. It had to feel a little like winning a bet against him making it that many games. Good for him. I really thought he had zero chance to become a regular at the time of the trade, but I think he could carve out an NHL career yet.Browns been looking great in these last few games
ROR hattrick vs Colorado.And here is what I want to see out of the last 3 games:
Schenn pots one
Saad pots two
ROR pots 3
Krug gets 1
Walker nets 2
If this were to magically happen, we would have 6 25+ goal scorers, a top 9 full of 20 goal scorers, and 13 double digit goal scorers.
Faulk and Vladi have been the best this seasonI might be alone in this opinion, but the Blues MVP this year is 72. Thomas, Vlad, and Buch have the benefit of each other’s talent and chemistry.

Not discounting Vladi’s value and he might be my favorite Blue ever. But think back to Parayko’s, Scandella’s, Mikkola’s, etc. struggles at different parts of the season. And how the Blues never fell out of this spot in the division through all of that. Faulk has been an anchor from the puck drop of game 1 that afforded the coaches and the rest of the D core time to figure their shit out.Tarasenko is the MVP, he elevates any line he is on. Thomas Kyrou, Barbi Buch, now Thomas Buch. Faulk has been an amazing 2nd pair dman though.
Long live Tarasenko's 9 game point streak!RIP Robert Thomas’ 15-game point streak
why do you say that?After this game there's no way they can let Binnington start in the playoffs
Thomas' 16 game point streak:RIP Robert Thomas’ 15-game point streak
