I dunno, Laine probably has a lot of time to practice considering he's chilling at home while his knee injury heals.

Coach Bannister on Kyrou after Toronto game

“Even going back to last game, he’s a team-first player right now,” Blues coach Drew Bannister said. “He’s playing team hockey. I was impressed with his game last game. I know the offense will come. We’ve talked about getting more pucks to the net. I thought I saw an effort today. But I just think he’s playing team hockey. He wants to win hockey games, and he’s doing whatever it takes right now to win hockey games.”

The way he stepped up against the leafs and set the tone with Thomas out was very impressive to me.

Yeah hes been hot this year.

Hot garbage.

He needs a centre. I'm certainly not ready to give up on him, but I am starting to question whether he is capable of carrying a line. More and more, he strikes me as an excellent complimentary player.

You Canadians are always misspelling stuff.

Tied for the team lead in points and assists. One of only 6 out of 23 skaters with a plus rating this season. If that’s “hot garbage”, what does that make the rest of the team?

Hot garbage is an absurd overstatement, but Kyrou only plays like a star like 40-50% the time. Would be nice to see more consistency out of him. 9 points is great but 2/3 of those points happened in the three games.

Kyrou only has points in 5 of the 11 games, 2 of his last 8 games. You can't do much when one of your top offensive weapons isn't scoring in the majority of the games he plays.

lol wow ok it's now ok to criticize Kyrou after RC was four years late to wake up to it, I guess it's no longer a shameful agenda for whipping boys, now people here have a shameful agenda to exempt Kyrou and instead criticize players on the bottom 6?

Whatever it is, it's over reaction "theater" as in, insincere and not real.

And an offensive player can't do much when defenses can key on him and he has no center on his line. Surprise, Kyrou is not McDavid. He can't single-handedly beat defenses.

Sure, it's a bit of both, but no one is saying he should have an expectation of 90+ points. He's streaky and he's now had 3 seasons in a row of pretty rough starts.

Kyrou is so easy to defend in general (by opposing hockey teams, not home fans). The way they do it is they send a guy to knock into him, and either that guy will take the puck away or Kyrou will juke away from that guy but into a predictable place where a backup defender can kill the play and turn it into offense the other way.

It's always been consistency with this guy and there just isn't anything evident yet that he can be consistent
