Another tough loss in this brutal season. Sucks that we are going to come just short of the playoffs.

Buchnevich, Kyrou and Saad really let the team down tonight. They needed to be better.

His lines changed pretty drastically post tdl. Our 2nd wave of wingers doesn’t give me much hope in terms of production. I’ll put some of the blame on that. Would love to see him with Rhomas and Schenn or Thomas and Neighbors
true. now need to split 18 and 25.

The emotional roller coaster of hockey fans 😊😊

The Blues should lose this game maybe 7 or 8 times out of 10. They are the inferior team.

I like the thought of Bolduc, Dvorsky,, Snuggerud, & Neighbors in the lineup. Still waiting to see what Dean can do in the NHL.

I just don’t know what the fix can be for the defense.

You have to think that even without team changes, Faulk gets back to being his normal self. He just has not looked the same since getting injured early on.

But also have to hope someone gets moved, but the obvious NTC debacle is the problem with that hope.

I don’t expect anything more from Faulk for the rest of his career

Make Kyrou cry again...he plays better when his back is against the wall.

Or play Zach Dean in Kyrou's place.

Kyrou was perhaps the worst player on the ice for the Blues in that game. Poor penalty that led to the tying goal and a non-factor the rest of the game. We needed our best players to step up to win a game against Colorado and Kyrou (along with Buch and Thomas to a lesser extent) failed to do that. Dude looks like Vrana out there lately.

hes a overpaid underperforming high maintenance crybaby and the entire fanbase is sick of his act. we went from people lead by example like steen, jbo and backes to crybaby floaters like kyrou, woof. hopefully he gets his ass booed all the way to the airport this offseason so another fanbase can deal with his coasting act.

Guy went from being out the rest of the season, per Rivers, to coming of the IR in a couple of weeks.
Both injuries this season are related.
Would not be surprised at all, if its announced after the season that he needs surgery.

Agree with this. Guy is built for a rush offense, and gives two turds about playing two way hockey.
The fact he will almost come to a stop instead of going into the corner is just unreal.

Give me a few more Jake Neighbors type players for what they spend on #25.

Was actually fairly impressed they went to toe to toe with the Avs in a playoff-like game. Idiotic play by Buch on the GWG. Just had to lead Parayko or throw it rinkwide off the boards and they break out easily. Badddd mistake at the wrong time to the wrong line.

We're venturing into "worst of both worlds" territory right now. We're not in the playoffs, but could be, but we could easily fall just short. Springfield is in the same boat. Both teams missing the playoffs wouldn't be disaster, but I would really like at least one of the two teams playing a little bit of postseason hockey for the experience instead of sitting at home.

Good effort in general against a good team, although struggled a lot against Colorado's pressure and speed. Hopefully with some reinforcements we can climb back soon, I don't think this team is that far away from being dangerous again.

What a brutal turnover by Buchnevich on the GWG. Don't understand what he was trying to do there. The pass wasn't even on the mark so it was an easy steal for Nichushkin.

Also didn't like the penalty from Kyrou, that's a lazy play by him.

I thought Thomas was pretty good despite no points, he created several good opportunities and had a few chances himself.

Didn't get to see this one but I can't say I"m at all surprised by that result. Colorado is a much better team so I think it says a lot that this group of players was able to hang with them.

Now, will they hang their heads and sulk and lose the next few games, or will they bounce back and stay in the playoff conversation?

Would you prefer to collect your full annual salary for seven months of work or for nine months of work? LOL

The whole org has got this hockeying thing figured out.
