if you attack them aggressively on d and can control the dump in and board play, our players will default back into the green system of always passing it back to the trailer or, on the pp, to the point man.
was only a matter of time before the new system stopped catching other teams by surprise
so the question is, how will boudreau rebuild our attack and will it be effective?

The team looked like they were told players are being traded very soon, so play better to get to better teams and some just wilted.
Pettersson and Boeser are just completely useless at ES. And when your go-to guys are that bad, you're not going to score many goals.
Miller is the only guy who looks like he wants to be a difference-maker or is capable of being a difference-maker.
St Louis isn't a legit contender...If it wasn't for their goaltender here, we win that game (you're also forgetting we had 5 regulars out)..The Blues don't resemble the squad they were 2-3 years ago.That’s St Louis though. Legit contender. We are perennial dim Jim bottom feeders.
last night i saw a lot of miller being what we disliked about kesler without any of the stuff we liked about him
but my big takeaway was how ineffective quinn was. the team was forced to rely on him a magnitude more than they usually do, which is already way too much, and he just was overwhelmed. guys just don’t know what to do when they are played tight, so they just drop it back to hughes and hope he does some magic. sutter knew this and the forechecker was always already anticipating the drop pass.
there’s a systemic fix here, let’s hope boudreau figures it out and our guys can execute. neither are certainties imo.
But noted hockey expert and unbiased party Kelly Hrudey guaranteed a suspension would be coming as well as first degree murder charges…
Cassie Campbells reaction to that hit by Myers was horribly biased, especially her 'cry foul' complaining tone ...John Garrett would probably have the same reaction, but he would do it on a regional broadcast (where he makes no bones about being a homer), not a national one (where he tones it right down)...Obviously, Cassie cant distinguish.
If she's on the next Flames/Canucks broadcast..I am seriously going to mute the TV.
He does seem to have a tendancy to 'pout' (Miller) when things aren't going his way. Not sure I'd want him as a Captain. Want somebody a bit more even tempered. Miller would make to be a great "number two" imho.Pettersson and Boeser are just completely useless at ES. And when your go-to guys are that bad, you're not going to score many goals.

Latest odds..Blues are tied for 9th to win the SC......playoff team yes….....SC contender..noDude, have you been following them or just hiding in your Canuck bubble? They are a legit contender. They have never been more balanced actually. They can legit roll 3 scoring lines and their 4th line isn’t that far off from our second line. I suggest you follow other teams more rather than drinking the dim koolaid and you will see how far off we are lol.
We don’t win any game vs St Louis. They actually played pretty bad against us too.

We are in Edmonton territory: rebuild the rebuilt rebuild.If you're trading away Miller, Boeser, Garland or Motte, this is considered a rebuild right? There's a good chance a few of these players could be gone, could be a long 5+ years ahead of us.
He's auditioning.

2021-22 Stanley Cup Odds: Avalanche Holding Down Top Spot
This is being generous..most betting odds have them around 12th....
1.They didn’t crush us..we outshot them by double with a depleted lineup ..Mikey DiPietro was in goal…Husso stole the game..STL did not look that great9th is quite high out of 32 teams. But yeah I don’t need any type of support to suggest they would crush us.
Just look how stacked this line up is and tell me how we are even remotely in the same league.

That’s stacked. We are not. Lol
Blues 3rd line is a second line on most NHL teams. Blues problems are on defence and goaltending. They lost 2 key defencemen from 2020:Bouwmeester and Pietrangelo that can't be replaced.9th is quite high out of 32 teams. But yeah I don’t need any type of support to suggest they would crush us.

Partly disingenuous post. His body language and effort on the ice was a f***ing joke for like half of last season.Miller has been outstanding since the moment he joined the team, and has caught nothing but shit from people here who don't like his "body language" or his turnovers. It's unreal.
Meanwhile EP turns over the puck like 9 times per game but if he gets a secondary assist on the powerplay everyone is like "He's Backkkkk"

His turnovers in his own end have been a constant issue. Like, obviously on the balance, this is a first line driver. But you just saw in the last two games JT to a tee. That first game against Winnipeg where he's potting a bunch while that Calgary game where he was Bozo.
I think most people on here would also agree that what we saw out of EP out of the first ~34 games this season was far, far worse than anything JT showed in his pouty, low effort first half of 20-21.
