Per JR's recent article:

"But the Blues power play has only one game-tying goal all season, and it was the unit’s most recent one in Pittsburgh on Dec. 30. The Blues power play has not scored a go-ahead goal this season, and has scored only 12 goals overall."

Dear god, that is pathetic.

Dear god, that is pathetic.
We have the worst PP in the league at 10.6%.
San Jose is the worst team in the league by a fair margin (5 points in the standings), and THEIR power play is 19.4%
If we had an AVERAGE (~20%) PP, we'd be in a wild-card spot.

Sunny D/Hayes promoted to pp1

Kyrou has a ton of skill but he's basically a north-south player. I think his hockey sense is sub-par. His career needs to be focused on taking the puck away or receiving a pass and burying it in the net. That's it.

Bannister got away with playing him with Thomas for awhile but that won't last.

All part of a bigger plan: Walker will be sent back to Australia, in exchange for 5 kangaroos who will constitute a more productive PP unit than any Blues group has managed so far this season. :idea:
Do it Leeery.
Dag's cole and a 3rd for 5 kangaroos

I'm serious about the kangaroos. I have no doubt in my mind they would outperform our power play.

I have exclusive North American agent rights for any pouched animals who can hold a hockey stick. Leave a message with my service and we can talk.

Blues PP is now 21% under Bannister. Could be coaching, could just be a historically bad PP just balancing out, but it's worth noting since so many have wondered where this team would be with an average PP.

Also, I'd be curious how much value Binnington has. I'm not advocating trading him, but if the Blues believe they are 3ish years away, it's at least something you consider as he's got to have substantial value right now playing at an all-star level.
Just a Russian propaganda account

There are a handful of contenders that have terrible goaltending. You've gotta at least explore it.

I’m old enough to remember when Army was pulling Marty Brodeur out of the mothballs… Binner retires here in my book.
