I will never like him, could score GWG goal in game 7 to win the cup and would not make a difference to me.

and thats the bottom line, cause stone cold dizee said so.

Blues are DOMINATING win these past 4 games, this looks like a team that wants to make the playoffs

We have ourselves a 4 game WINNING STREAK

That's where you're wrong, it's just two 2 game winning streaks put together.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Kyrou with 7 Shots, 6 Hits, and a +2 tonight.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

[TheDizee]

Kyrou with 7 Shots, 6 Hits, and a +2 tonight.

Buch just called Parayko “St. Louis Makar” on the postgame interview.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Come the f*** on Seattle. Beat Vancouver.

Blues win!!! 4 wins in a row!!! And they looked great doing it!!! Lots of good play lately!! It took them a while to start playing Monty's system effectively. But they seem to be carrying it out well now. They're only one game out of The Last Wild Card position. it remains to be seen if they can take points from the best teams down the stretch, and win a playoff series, and if the better teams will "allow" them to play like this when the chips are down.

 

[Eldon Reid]

What's great with this 4 games winning streak is the minutes our dman are playing. No one is playing the 25+ mins a night. Most mins was 21:44 for Parayko.

Parayko 21:44, 17:50, 19:13, 19:46

Fowler 20:05, 18:05, 19:10, 19:06

Faulk 21:14, 21:25, 21:13, 21:13

Broberg 19:55, 20:47, 21:24, 20:04

Leddy 18:42, 19:48, 18:05, 17:58

Suter 18:35, 20:10, 19:06, 18:29

Cutting 2-4 minutes a night off our top pair will help with wear and tear of the last 20 games of the season.

Helps having 6 NHL quality Dmen. And that isn’t a knock on Tucker, but man, all 6 of our current Dmen can skate. Make it’s hard on the opposition.

 

[StlBigFly]

Another note: essentially another game with all defenseman above 18 minutes and below 21:30. At least 3 games in a row like this.

Leddy was 2 seconds short this game, im counting it

nice to have this much balance.

The "Buch's new contract sucks, we should give him away" crowd has been silent lately.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

It's amazing to have 6 Top 6 Players playing like Top 6 players at the same time. Then add on that Bolduc has been AMAZING.

Weegar is the somewhat worry, where last season he had 20 goals and this season he's back to pacing under 10.

I want to find a site that tracks the average shot distance because my expectation is that Parayko is shooting a lot closer to the net, and that's why I think it could be a change in his game and it can be a new norm. Last season he had 11 shots in high-danger areas, and this season he already has 12. Last season he had 2 goals in that area, this season he has 5. Two seasons ago, he had 8 shots in high danger area.

If he can stay active in the offensive zone with his size and skating ability, he should continue to score more goals that he has in the past. That's what it would look like with him taking his game to the next level. He's not going to do it by creating and devloping as a passer, taking what he does well and using it offensively. If he continues to increase the amount of shots in and around the net, he'll continue to score more.

Absolutely THIS. I agree that this is the difference in his goal scoring. With Fowler as a solid, responsible, fast-skating defenceman, paired with him, he can feel free to go deeper towards the opponent's net, and take a lot more high-danger shots. Also, with Neighbours, Toropchenko, Buchnevich and several other Blues' forwards constantly around the net, as they've been since Monty took over, he'll have more good screens, and more opponent defenders pulled away from the farther out areas, so Parayko can "cheat in" more often, and deeper in.

Nothing will stop us on our way to pick 16.
wohooo

idk, we're only 1 point out of 2WC. (come on Seattle....)

Nope, still hate that contract and hope they send him packing.

Suter's going to need more rest as they move towards The Playoffs. Thank goodness Faulk is healthy again, and playing well enough to play more minutes, and Leddy is back. I guess the fans who wanted Army ton trade Fowler off for a draft choice or prospect will reconsider. I wouldn't even try to trade Suter off at this point. Just play it out.

Many of us thought we’d push for a WC before the season. Are we finally looking like the team we thought we had? We are a pretty damn good team on paper and a hot Binner makes us dangerous.
