Fire Evason!!

What’s this heat he’s talking about?? Mateychuk can handle whatever that is better than any defender, other than Werenski. He’s arguably already a better PMD/passer coming out of the zone. And his defensive/neutral zone pinches and reads are just as good as anyone else on the team. Pair him with Gudbranson for f***s sake, and let them both play to their strengths.

He’s going to take some hits as guys will eventually take some runs at him because of his size, but, he’s clearly a smart enough, and strong enough player, to protect himself at the NHL level. Even the scary big-bad regular season.

What are the dudes quotes and opinions on Jiricek??

Evason seems to have his finger on the pulse of this group. I often wondered if those who followed Torts even had a pulse...

What does all of this even mean??

Serious question.

This one may not be pretty.

ps I'm always impressed that despite how their downtown has become a hollowed out shell of itself, St. Louis is a helluva sports town.

Lack of discipline is going to kill us all season, isn't it? Despite that, it's been a good start.
Usually the problem with a young team. Hopefully that's mitigated as the season goes on with a coach like Evason.

That PASS though, omg. Mateychuk from the top of the circles in the defensive zone delivers a perfect tape to tape outlet pass to Chinakhov at the attacking blue line.

these announcers are regularly misidentifying Jackets players. Said shot by Voronkov when Chinakov (I-think) took shot off a pass. Called TFW DBB. Missed on several other in just last several minutes.
