I would LOVE to see one 5 on 3 without 27 out there. I’m sure he has been out of there for every single 5 on 3 for the past 4 years.
Then you look at our brutal 5/3 conversion rate in the past 3-4 years.....
I get you want you’re saying but you know what they say...... the sum is only as strong as its weakest link. 27 is so slow in his decision making and quick tap to tap passes are what makes a successful 5 on 3. Plus he’s the QB! Like tonight, he misses the net far too oftenIt's simple: when you have a 2-man advantage DON'T SIT ON THE PERIMETER AND CYCLE THE PUCK AROUND PRAYING FOR AN OPENING! Send three of your 5 players to the net and have the extra 2 men there to jump on rebounds! When you have 2 extra men the strategy should NOT be the same as when you have only 1. It is really hard to defend against 2 uncovered players. There are no excuses!
This! So much this! Thank you Robb. The 5 on 3 mystery is really easily solved. Stop trying to be pretty! Stop trying to make the perfect Prima Donna play and put it on the net!It's simple: when you have a 2-man advantage DON'T SIT ON THE PERIMETER AND CYCLE THE PUCK AROUND PRAYING FOR AN OPENING!

Losing makes you hungry. Too much winning causes complacency.
Why is Sanford playing on one of the top 2 forward lines, and De La Rose in, and Kyrou out??? Kyrou should be getting in as much experience as possible so he'll be able to be an effective player during the run for playoff seeding, and the playoffs. Ideally, he'll have been playing on a regular line by then, and know his linemates well. Why has he been out 4 games in a row? He can't be exhausted yet. I haven't heard of even a small injury or fighting the flu.I haven’t seen Sanford in a while. Did he get benched?

Are we really going to discuss the again? You mean the four games in a row we won? Why would coach mix up the lines when we're dominating?
Settle down Kyrou minions, I'm sure he'll get another chance soon. I assume he's been practicing staying onside these past four games.
according to the algorithm it should be Miky...
I've always thought Sanford should be a reserve guy. All of last year, his strongest game were after he sat a few. He'd come out on fire, slowly start falling behind, then he'd sit for 2-3. As soon as he came back, he would start lighting it up again. Maybe not a bad idea to start experimenting with his playing time again.Are we really going to discuss the again?

We were way too sloppy. When game takes on that frenetic pace we lose our advantage.The Blues didn’t have any business earning a point last night. I’ll take it. But Parayko’s absence was painfully noticeable. And it was a sleepy game from the forwards, with lots of casual turn-overs.
‘The Flyers are a good team, and I thought they looked the best prepared to play St Louis of any team from the East they’ve played. The Flyers were well positioned to break up the Blues’ usual outbreak passes and get sticks on pucks.
I don't want to get into this, but you do realize that Kyrou was playing during that four game span you mentioned, right?Are we really going to discuss the again? You mean the four games in a row we won? Why would coach mix up the lines when we're dominating?

It seems a tad strange to say the bolded when Berube did mix the lines up during that stretch.
