Pietrangelo?????
 

Has anyone had a chance to watch the blues lately? What's going on with Pietrangelo -8 in his last 5 games, and an ugly -3 last night, I realize the blues are in a bit of a rutt but it seems like there's a pattern of Pietrangelo being on the ice for most of the goals they get against them.

I havent seen many Blues games lately but I watch the highlights every day. I realize highlights dont tell the whole story, but from the highlights I have seen, you could drive a Mac truck through Elliots legs lately. He hasnt been overly strong, which of course shows up on the stats sheets as a minus for the guys on the ice when he gives up weak ones.

that's pretty bad for a guy who is supposed to be better than Karlsson isn't it, especially defensively! Oh my oh my. :eek:

on a serious note though, the Blues have been terrible of late...lost 5 straight and giving up a ton of goals. He logs a lot of ice time so he's been hurt by it quite a bit. The Blues are too good a team to keep this up though, so once they get their shit together it should settle out

the coach has called out elliot. said he just needs to play better. halak is back now and things should straighten out.

Halak actually re-aggravated his injury last night in warmup

Somewhat unrelated but this is exactly why I don't like to use playoff series to evaluate anything long-term. The sample size is so small that any stat looks extreme. The Blues are struggling but it's not like Pietrangelo turned into Tyler Myers.

Pietrangelo has been solid, playing 26-28 minutes a night in the last few games. The Blues as a whole have struggled to score. Backes and Tarasenko very cold now. I'm always impressed with Pietrangelo - he will win a Norris or more in the near future.

Elliot looks like a beer league goalie out there.

Need more love for Shattenkirk

Haha true!
St-Louis has 2 studs on their blue-line. Their best 2 fantasy options right now are d-men, I don't think there's another team in the league like that.
