He has been as engaged on defense as he is on offense, maybe more? Speaking of, just forced a mistake on the Sharks. Very out of the ordinary this season to see more criticism of his offense than his defense, forechecking, etc.

I guess we need all announcers to go to language school covering French, Swedish, Finnish, German, Czech, Slovak, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch, and Schweitzertuutsch
I agree with others' assessments of Bolduc. He does a lot of little things right and he should absolutely see more minutes. I like him with Holloway, hope that sticks for a while.

My biggest issue with him this year is turnovers. Yeah he should have more goals, but at least he's still putting up points at a consistent basis.
And i have a hard time being upset by his offense when he has the same amount of assists as our 2nd place player has total points.

Really need somebody on that line who can pass.
I think they'd be amazing with a guy like Bozak between them.

Maybe if The Dizee reads this he'll ease up on asking Army to trade him after every failed breakaway?

He's not bad. Not sure if he's a full-timer, but, in spot duty, he's been perfectly fine.

I KNEW Kyrou would one-time that rebound off the boards directly off its bounce, with no hesitation, to catch the goalie offguard. Good effort.

Let's be honest, Kyrou absolutely has some big issues with his game. He turns over the puck a lot, he's prone to cold streaks, he has a habit of not giving it his all at times, and makes some weird decisions at really bad times. But he's still leaps ahead of the player he was 2 years ago.Maybe if The Dizee reads this he'll ease up on asking Army to trade him after every failed breakaway?
Players mature and grow at different rates. Hell look at how long it took for Perron to get to where he was during the cup run. But Kyrou has made very good strides in maturity (he's not sulking every time he doesn't score on a shot anymore as example) and off puck play this year.
He reminds me of Rosen a few years back

Indeed, Perron made himself into one of the best puck control pests in the League.

And that was after years of being a middling player on the Oilers, Blues, and Pens. It didn't fully click until he was picked up by Knights in the Expansion draft when he was 29.

Not impressed with Celebrini.....yet.
Macklin had plenty of room entering the Blues zone, but passed it off. Mistake. Show off your skills, kid!
Lots of Swedes and Lunds on the Sharks.

Rosen is a much better skater and can help a team's offensive game. Scheuneman is pretty much a stayu-at-home guy, who can be more effective in the physical game, and move enough to not be gotten around as easy as a pylon (like some of the career AHLers that played regularly on weak Blues' teams). Scheuneman will be a good fill-in. I hope their defence doesn't stay so weak that he becomes a regular 3rd pairing player.
