Polak wasn't targeting him for a board there or intending to board him. The player changed his body position at the last minute and put himself in a bad position so all should be forgiven.

That's about 5 posts and crossbar hits in the last 4 minutes! Most I've ever seen in such a short time!

Why are there SO MANY "Too Many Men on the ice" penalties from this team, when they have such a well-respected coach??? The Blues players are almost all the same as last year, and yet they have been so much less disciplined than last season. Why is this happening? The Blues' young players have been believing their press clippings from last season, and also believed the hype that Tarasenko coming over would boost their offence enough to make them a dominating team. But, they forgot that what made their smothering defence was mainly hard work and adhering to the 2-way system.

Tuning out Hitchcock like everybody on the main boards said. This team is terrible without playing Hitchcock hockey. This team is built of 2-way players that aren't playing 2 ways of the ice.
Jackman thought Petro was coming off so he jumped on but Petro was not going off.
Like I said a couple weeks ago every one needs to start fighting each other while on the bench and then come together as a team again like on Major League II and if that does not work than send them all to the minors!
But seriously I think what they need a very physical game with lots of fights, borderline play, and emotion to get them playing together and looking out for each other. Surprisingly we have not had a game like that yet this year. It used to happen just about any time we played SJ or ANA but times have changed. I was hoping it would happen tonight since CLB games are usually physical but it isnt going to happen tonight either.
They are not playing with any heart they need a good emotional jolt to get going, but its looking less and less likely that it is going to happen on the ice so the front office needs to do something soon, if the players are not going to make it happen.
I hate when people say Hitch has a shelf life, name me one coach who doesnt. Just about every coach only works out for a few years. Obviously Hitch has only been here a little over a year, but I dont see this as them tuning out hitch because the players say just about the same things hitch says is wrong with the team.

+1 Heaven forbid it takes a young team time to learn his system and develop the chemistry needed to play at a championship level
Pietrangelo is playing terrible this season. If I were Shattenkirk's agent this offseason, I wouldn't take a dime less than what the Blues pay Petro because this season, Shattenkirk is the better player.

Well I didn't say he was over. Simply that they look like they are tuning him out, at least some of the players. Sobotka is perfect example of how to play Hitchcock hockey, strong forecheck and finishing your checks. I just simply was trying to say that some players are getting too big of heads like Backes said.
