ONly right here will the weakness show.....and it's as glaring as ever. We have no defensemen who can REALLY move the puck up ice....and we have no big, tough, scoring winger.
Johnson will fill one hole....and make the entire defense better......but Backes is NOT the answer for the other hole in my opinion. He's just not mean enough.
The Blues are outgunned here.....plain and simple.
Additionally......Murray has PANICKED!! You don't change one of the best penalty kills and power play units in hockey because they have a bad shift or two. And that tirade at the end of the second game was WAY off base.
Vancouver has it right.....this ain't the regular season....this is a SERIES.....you KEEP sending the message like Vancouver is doing, even if it means sending out your hitters at the end of a game you have won.
The Blues, from the top down, will benefit from this.....but it is what it is....a nice little season on the way to bigger things.
GO BLUE!!!!
