What happened to the Blues being a badass defensive team?

I thought that was the Rams? :grin:

Blues are 10-8-2 against playoff teams. Not very impressive.

And Erik Johnson scored on us just to top it off.

At least we can say he only scored in a game that was 5-0 :P

Yeah, this right here... We're not going to go very far in the playoffs if this stays true...

Problems are simple:

1. 2 PPG
2. 41 SOG vs our 26.

Those who swore up and down that we shouldn't start Brodeur today, guess what? We probably should have.

The D corps and Pie are beginning to really piss me off. The offense can't get rolling because the D has been commiting to really stupid mistakes and many of them are coming off of our top tier players. Not to sound stupid, but I didn't realize that Pie had some very serious issues on his end of life with his family and cancer and this might play majorly in him played very sub par. We expect him to be the leader in terms of D and it's just not happening right now. I think the guy is amazing but I also feel he needs time away and his desire to play, while admirable, has been costing the team in general. If we make a move at this point, we need to address the Defence. I think our Offense is fine, but they need solid backup from the D to make moves. You can't build momentum this way and it's been bitting us on the tail. I'm not saying trade Pie, hell. no. I'm saying I think the guy needs time off and we should address getting him some and looking at D and making some adjustments to make it click. We have prime candidates in Chicago that can be brought up to address the situation, so that's golden.

Otter has 36 PIMS in 33 games. Considering this guy is on a number of top lines, this might be a part of the problem?

I saw that stat and had the exact opposite reaction. I saw it as above .500 versus the good teams and crushing the bad teams. Maybe it would be nice to be more above .500 than we are, but isn't .500 versus the top and really good versus the bottom a typical measuring stick?

Eh. I'm always disappointed when they lose, and extra disappointed when they struggle and are in a slump.

But yeah...hopefully they can find some consistency, and hopefully Elliott returns soon.
