I feel bad for the goalies every time I see these kind of drills.

I feel Winnipeg and Dallas were a tougher duo to face for the Blues during their Cup run as opposed to the possible upcoming tandem matchup of Vegas/Colorado.
Thoughts?
I think the overall talent on Vegas and Colorado is far superior to that of either of those two teams. Dallas and the Jets played a physical game but don't have the absolute game breakers that a team like Colorado has, especially Dallas.BillP. wrote: Mon Apr 12, 2021 12:53 pm I want some opinions here.

Colorado has been together a while....they have the team chemistry, top flight scoring, a veteran back up...they are the team to beat in the West.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Tue Apr 20, 2021 10:23 amI think the overall talent on Vegas and Colorado is far superior to that of either of those two teams.

It’s kind of absurd. They’ve lost 9 games all season. The Blues have lost 9 games just in their last 12.CaptSMRT wrote: Tue Apr 20, 2021 9:13 pmColorado has been together a while....they have the team chemistry, top flight scoring, a veteran back up...they are the team to beat in the West.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Tue Apr 20, 2021 10:23 amI think the overall talent on Vegas and Colorado is far superior to that of either of those two teams.

Both No. 19 too...................
Just a couple Cup winning gold medalists that haven't played hockey since 2020.
Maybe I don't want them to make the playoffs afterall. Maybe the embarassment of missing out will be better motivation in what will be a shorter than usual offseason with the later than usual start to the playoffs. Sucking at 5v5 is no good at any time, but when your PP and PK rank 15th and 28th, you're toast. For all the talk about the PP being bad, it's the PK that's killing this team. It's an even bigger deal since they take more penalties than their opponents most nights.It’s crazy how bad this team is at five-on-five considering that was their calling card en route to their 2019 Stanley Cup. St. Louis is bottom 10 in both expected and actual goals this season and is the worst team over the last month in expected goals at 43 percent.
I wish I had a nickel for every time a Blues fan has expressed that emotion since the mid-1970s. I'd buy this Board & hire you as Chief Motivational Officer (CMO).Dave's a mess wrote: Fri Apr 23, 2021 9:34 amMaybe I don't want them to make the playoffs afterall.
