How interesting the Detroit/Ottawa game.
Ville Husso plays well enough to give his team a good chance. Cossa is the backup.

Cam Talbot on the shelf. And Alex Lyon in the medical bay.
 
This team has a Derek Ryan problem. He was a decent 4C for us for a couple years but his time has sadly come.

He hasn't scored a goal since mid February last season. Including the playoffs, he hasn't scored a goal in 62 games.

Over that span of 62 games he has 0 goals, 4 assists and is -17. We need more out of a 4C even if they're only playing 10 minutes a night.

It continues to make zero sense that this team isn't playing Philp in Ryan's minutes.

People say paryko is cooked but where does that come from? He looks quicker than ekholm. Strong. Every game I see him play he looks good
Yeah, he looks good out there to me too. Armstrong still owes us one. Need the Blues to fall out of it so we can finally bring Parayko home.

Pretty much entirely coming from the analytics community, the people watching him tend to positively review his game and the St. Louis fans love him, but the analytics community see him as a bad player or atleast a player who is playing over his head and taking on water in his role.

Ryan’s been a good warrior. But yeah, the team could use some extra speed, youth, and size especially on the bottom 6. Philp brings all 3. Call him up, but keep him playing should be the goal in the upcoming weeks or month. Not a fan of our 4th line currently. Just doesn’t seem to have a real identity or plan. Would love for a 4th line that plays with greasiness and jam that would work their asses off grinding away to tire the opposition out.
