All bow down to The Rosen One

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Great breakout game

 

[ToniJ1960]

he had himself a nice night definitely hope he got noticed

 

[Mike Liut]

He’s definitely a quality #7 or 8. You need 8 heading into the playoffs.

I'd love to see him get that 3rd pairing spot for the playoffs. He's not big or physical but he can skate and handled the puck and that's what the Blues do now. I'm fine with it. Fewer turnovers and getting hemmed in your own end less often. Rosen fits that style.

He’s been good, but Scandella has been playing great with Parayko on shutdown pair. Why you wanna take him out!

Scandella has been really good, but I also attribute some of that to the addition of Leddy and Thomas driving so much of the play up the middle.

When the Blues are playing their game of keepaway and setting up sweet shots, almost any defensemen would look great.

 

[Renard]

I rarely see Scandella doing something right out there.

 

[Blueston]

I rarely see Scandella doing something right out there.

This is because he’s been playing well. He is type of defenseman who it ends to be noticeable inky when he messes up.

 

[Joshuar56]

I'd still rather have a guy like Mikkola out there in the playoffs, even if it's the 3rd pairing.

Maybe you can have a conversation with him about serving pizzas to the opposing team all night long.

I love what he brings when he's on, but the dude is chaos incarnate at this point. Minnesota's forechecking and the Mikkola we've seen for 2/3 of the season is not a good formula.

 

[Bluesguru]

I like him. Great pickup by organization. Have no problem with him starting on that 3rd pairing.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Move over Charlie Lindgren, because the Blues have found their true savior. Calle Rosen is winning the Norris for the next decade.

Book it.

But seriously, I like what he’s brought since donning the Blue note. I’m happy he’s playing with aggression and is helping the transition game. I hope he can keep it up and stick in the NHL eventually.

 

[Eye of Ra]

good in the playoffs so far?

 

[Celtic Note]

good in the playoffs so far?

Better than expected. Looks like a 6th defenseman most nights.

 

[PocketNines]

He cannot get the puck out of his own zone to save his life. Want him out of there

Agreed, he's just awful, hopefully Scandella gets back soon, he could easily play Rosen's minutes.

 

[Allens Five Hole]

He played phenomenal in Game 4 vs the Wild. Hasn't been very good since then but he's been thrown into a situation that is very difficult. He went from AHL minutes to playing 12-15 min in the NHL playoffs vs one of the most dangerous teams in the league. I think he's an NHL caliber defenseman on a third pairing or as a healthy scratch 7D, but I don't think he can be that on a SC champion.

He’s basically our 8d but has been playing due to injuries. Not ideal but how many clubs have significantly better options at 8d?

I agree with you. I think he can be an everyday third pairing D-man on a lot of teams in the NHL. I just don't think he can be that on a SC championship team. There is a lot worse out there though and I think that he's filled in adequately so far this post season relative to my expectations for him.

Good pick up

 

[Stealth JD]

Good #7/8 for the system. Hopefully he's only called on during the regular season...
