GDT: Chapter #4 | St. Louis Blues @ Chicago Blackhawks | "Yeah.. It is another book one, deal with it."

[TarasenkosForearm]

yep ... i hope the noose starts to tighten on yeos neck after tonight

I dont want an assistant as coach either.

Good you don't need to watch anymore then.

I’ve watched every game since 2008. I’m in for the long haul, but it’s pretty obvious this isn’t a good team. I’m just happy our pick is protected so we don’t pull an Ottawa and hand away a great pick for nothing.

I don't think he can takes us deep in the PO's....period.

Based on the comments I'm reading about the defense again I'm just going to drop this GIF to sum it up...

Chicago may be getting some points early, but they are not a good team. Sadly, neither are the Blues right now. Tonight I finally came to feel the defensive coverage is a lot bigger problem than the goaltending.

Are we overestimating our defensive personnel?

It's the same personnel we've had that has looked a lot better. I'm starting to lean towards the coaching aspect, or lack of.

 

[Oberyn]

Not sure how anyone can put the blame on Allen for this. I saw multiple instances where the Blues D just let a Hawks player walk into the slot and get an uncontested shot off. I don't know what Van Ryn is coaching these guys but I'm starting to become skeptical of his abilities.

agreed

 

[carter333167]

I said going into the season that the only big question marks were Yeo and Jake. I still feel that way.

 

[BlueDream]

I’d fire Yeo if the team loses tomorrow.

It won’t happen but why wait? The defense is wayyy too sloppy. Like someone else said, you can’t be giving up 4 goals a game and expect to win. And there are a long list of other issues as well.

I literally think it’s impossible for Yeo to get a grip on this team. There are way too many things he would have to correct. And judging by his history with the Blues and Wild, he’s just not going to.

Team just flat out needs a new coach. This is almost the spitting image of the Blues under Payne where it isn’t working.

No this one definitely isn’t on Allen. There’s just no winning with this team right now. If the D plays reasonably well Allen shits the bed, and if Allen is great the D give up so many chances that they’re bound to bury some.

Schenn is a beast
Perron played well
Allen kept us in the game

Tarasenko, ROR, Maroon line is a liability defensively...mainly due to the wingers

Defense plays so soft/backs way too far away from any puck handler

We have to be the slowest team in the NHL...painfully slow

Agreed.

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

I dont think Yeo is fit to coach a highly skilled team. The schemes dont mesh, its obvious. I'd rather lose seeing them create, letting it all hang out.

No, it's the play that makes them look slow.

 

[TruBlu]

Realistically, how bad is it going to have to get before Yeo is shipped out? The roster is too good to see a drop off like what Yeo saw in Minnesota, unless the team just quits on him to force DA's hand.

 

[TheDizee]

yeo needs to go but im not sure who you bring in to coach then

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

I'll do it.

I think if the team is still sputtering around Thanksgiving he’ll be gone. I’d like to think it’d be at the end of this month but I don’t think they’ll do that.

I've been skeptical of his abilities since 2002

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

Our power play is still bad, idc what they say. I want strong rotation as a 3 man unit down low, and dinterchanging with wingers on either side. Get the rotation working to open ice for skilled players. Plus they need to hound the puck when they do give it up on PP. The D is a simple fix. Line across the blue and sticks in the lane. Dont just throw it blind when you feel pressure.

They won’t wait that long. West is too deep to give away so many games.

He’s gone around 10-12 games in if the play is still this sloppy.

I'd say DA isn't going to stand by and watch the team muck around like this for long. He's assembled too much talent to let the team go without a change, plus look at his track record with Payne.

 

[carter333167]

I doubt ownership is going to be patient with Yeo.

They can't afford to.
