Yup. I've always said the same.

Same squad in different sports. And where the Chiefs struggled to find a championship caliber QB, the Blues cut corners in the net. 'Game manager' quarterbacks and 'defensive system' goalies that required defense first forwards to help them out at the cost of the offense.

The Blues gotta a Flacco season out of Binner like the year he was white hot for a month in the playoffs and then went back to being Joe Flacco. But they still never got a Mahomes that can paper over some problems for them. So they're still emphasizing 'sandpaper' on the roster.

They never properly replaced Pietrangelo and Bouwmeester defensively. The forward group aged out of its prime and the current forwards are either young or haven’t replaced the older guys yet.

Binnington’s played well this season. Last year the team was a dumpster fire.
2021-2022 the defense was OK but had insane offensive production from the forwards.

Kyrou went from public enemy number one to hero tonight. He finally played well tonight.

Potty mouth

Yeah - anyone that watched that game tonight realizes why everyone was so frustrated with Kyrou.

Dude looked like one of the 10-20 best players in the league tonight. He was awesome.

Because he tried. Damn that's aggravating.

I have no idea how they are doing it but some how the Flyers are on a nine game unbeaten streak and are currently 3rd in the East Conf.

Tortorella does that kind of thing all the time. His coaching style seems to only work with the worst possible teams. He makes them defensively responsible and offensive over-achievers. Once there's talent on the roster, he's shown the door.
