Goaltending

[KirkOut]

Blues just don't know how to cheap shot well enough. Going to need someone to show them how to knock out the other team's most important player.

We need to bring in Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson as an assistant coach.

You hit the nail on the head Matty. The obsession with toughness is getting maddening around here. If you look at all the recent cup winners, there's one common them with the defense and it isn't toughness. The ability to quickly transition is critical. We've gotten better at that.

Absolutely agree. The term "crease clearer" keeps getting thrown around but that type of player is vary rapidly becoming obsolete

As sadistic as this is I agree completely. The Blues do not act, they react.

Why isn't anyone calling into question Anaheim's goaltending? They are rolling 2 rookies.....

Because none of their rookies' names is Brian Elliott?

Because highly touted prospects are vastly more valuable than a Jennings winning goalie. This is HF after all, where a 60 pt rookie MacKinnon is already considered a top 20'player and a lock for 100 points next year:
