Quote: sptsman said: Time to start dumping dead weight and looking to land that #1 pick in 2019. Unless things change drastically, this team has already played their way out of a playoff position. And if you're not going to make the playoffs, you might as well develop young players and finish dead last. It has worked for nearly every Cup winner in the past 10-15 years.
It has become painful to watch this defense cough up pucks that end up in the back of their own net, game after game! Parayko had the first one last night on Detroit's first goal and Pietrangelo had the next, on their 2nd goal. Steen tried his best to gift wrap one for Larkin but Larkin hit the pipe... How do players with this much talent get this bad collectively?
And lemme guess...Armstrong is the guy fix it.
Wednesday night first 30 minutes was the worst hockey of the year. Maybe decade. Complete dumpster fire.
In all my years as a Blues fan, I've never seen so many players under perform at the same time in the same season.
That locker room ain't right. Educated guess....I'd move Petro and Steen and see what happens.
