Tonight 2 goals 1 assist 3 points plus 4 toi over 21 can he do it again
He’s been good, but Scandella has been playing great with Parayko on shutdown pair. Why you wanna take him out!I'd love to see him get that 3rd pairing spot for the playoffs. He's not big or physical but he can skate and handled the puck and that's what the Blues do now. I'm fine with it. Fewer turnovers and getting hemmed in your own end less often. Rosen fits that style.
Leddy, Krug, Rosen LHD
Faulk, CP, Bortz RHD
Scandella has been really good, but I also attribute some of that to the addition of Leddy and Thomas driving so much of the play up the middle.He’s been good, but Scandella has been playing great with Parayko on shutdown pair. Why you wanna take him out!
This is because he’s been playing well. He is type of defenseman who it ends to be noticeable inky when he messes up.I rarely see Scandella doing something right out there.
I'd still rather have a guy like Mikkola out there in the playoffs, even if it's the 3rd pairing.
Better than expected. Looks like a 6th defenseman most nights.good in the playoffs so far?
Agreed, he's just awful, hopefully Scandella gets back soon, he could easily play Rosen's minutes.He cannot get the puck out of his own zone to save his life. Want him out of there
He’s basically our 8d but has been playing due to injuries. Not ideal but how many clubs have significantly better options at 8d?He played phenomenal in Game 4 vs the Wild. Hasn't been very good since then but he's been thrown into a situation that is very difficult. He went from AHL minutes to playing 12-15 min in the NHL playoffs vs one of the most dangerous teams in the league. I think he's an NHL caliber defenseman on a third pairing or as a healthy scratch 7D, but I don't think he can be that on a SC champion.
I agree with you. I think he can be an everyday third pairing D-man on a lot of teams in the NHL. I just don't think he can be that on a SC championship team. There is a lot worse out there though and I think that he's filled in adequately so far this post season relative to my expectations for him.He’s basically our 8d but has been playing due to injuries.
