Undeserved? Who "deserves" the ice time more? No one really earned their ice time last night. If you really wanna point fingers then I'd say Kyrou (0 goals in 9 games, 3 pts in last 7) or Buch (2 pts in last 7) aren't earning their ice time either. Your best players have to lead the way on the ice and they aren't doing it right now. Yeah Schenn isn't playing well but not sure why our two highest-paid forwards are immune to criticism.

Tkachuk put on a pretty good show for his doubters last night. Guess anyone won't be questioning his leadership after that performance.
Kyrou does not need any criticism. He is the best blues player of all time and carries the team every night. If we had a team fun of kyrous, we would be unstoppable

Well apparently some people think the Blues effort last night was partly due to Schenn's poor leadership. It's silly for fans to act like they know what kind of a "leader" a captain is, regardless. Not like strong leadership can will an entire team to victory on its own.

Either way, Tkachuk and Ottawa looked like men last night while the Blues lineup looked like a bunch of minor leaguers who had no answer for them. Our top players were no shows yet again and the defensive system has evaporated. Hofer's worst game as a Blue didn't help either.

I wonder if people will change their tune about Brady if/when he scores 40 and Ottawa makes the playoffs. I'd probably trade Kyrou and Bolduc/Snuggerud for him, but doubt it would be enough.
Last night no one performed but Schenn was absolutely part of the group that did not. If he doesn’t deserve any blame then no one does.

Well, that was one of the worst displays of effort I've seen from any Blues team...ever. It literally looked like the boys were skating in quicksand and the Sens were jetting on air glides. We were beat to every loose puck, lost most puck battles and every foot race. The worst offenders were our star veterans headed up by our beloved captain Schenn with close runners up in Buch and Kyrou. I'm ok with losing but giving up on plays or not skating hard to be involved in the play (they were always too late to even fight for the puck most instances) is a disgrace. If it weren't for the new blood on the team this year, we would currently be bottom 5. I'll say this much. I did like the effort and overall play from Toro, Neighbors, Tex, Holloway, Bro and Faulk (at least it looked like they cared and wanted to be there).

We need to trade Kyrou now. His special brand of lackadaisical play is contagious and poisonous. If this is a retool, he needs to be a cog we replace and made an example of. Hell, it couldn't hurt the offence any more than it is now. Schenn and Suter have no foot speed and should be very limited in ice time. I'd say trade them too but no one wants them. The sad thing is, this team has enough talent to compete and push for a playoff spot but not with that level of effort and determination.

It's times like this that I wish we had kept Bortuzzo. At least he might start a fight and punch someone in practice for this craptastic display of effort. Thats exactly what Schenn should be doing but he'd have to kick his own ass first. Hopefully Bannister lodges his size 10 1/2 straight up their keisters and skates the crap out of them. That was embarrassing.

After 10 games, 5-5. Some good wins. Some stinkers. Not bad enough to tank, not good enough to win anything of consequence. Your 2025 St. Louis Blues!
