Yes he's so scared of his own shadow he continues to play a game that threatens his very future. And I'm not talking about a new set of teeth.

But just not tough enough.

Jeeezuz dude look around the league. It takes all kinds to make a team a Cup winner. Skilled players are every where, and I know it isn't a very good neanderthal way to run a team but the Blues can afford to carry some of that.

He's always been a bad play off performer. He's always been a knucklehead with offensive zone penalties. Far from perfect dude. We get that. Right now he balances the lines being back, making more than just himself better. And he scores points. Badly needed points. You know, take the good and take the bad, but always take the points when in doubt.

This might be 57's last year on skates. Looks like maybe one less guy will be on your lawn.
