Losing a goalie is like losing a QB. Especially one that was cruising along with a .949 save percentage.
Also, would love to see a clip of Kuemper supposedly getting “run” in G1

Oh I'm sure he was blown into the back of the net in G1. And probably G2 as well.
Because afterall - that was just a hockey play, man. Happens all the time. Guys are going for loose pucks, get bumped by a D-man who has already established his position and then go full steam into the goalie. It's just playing hard.
That's really my favorite part about all this. Suddenly Kadri is a 6 yr old on blades for the first time out there. A defenseman actually BEATS him to the spot and gets slowed down to clear the puck out, and that excuses Kadri from coming so hard into the crease that he wipes the defenseman out and barrels through the net.
It went from 'he was pushed into Binnington!' to 'why should it matter what the nature of the contact was!' overnight. Really convenient way to overlook that Rosen was THERE. He'd established position. He was even able to get his stick in position for a simple little sweep into the corner.
It's literally a play you see a dozen times every single game. On virtually any rebound attempt you can count on seeing a D-Man get to the crease and sweep the puck out.
And what you DON'T see is some out of control dipshit barrel into him and then go floppy legged into the goalie and through the net. But hey, doesn't matter that Kadri initiated the contact. Doesn't matter that he most assuredly wasn't pushed or was going into the crease at high speed. I mean, it mattered LAST night when he was very obviously pushed. But now that he clearly wasn't pushed, it's not relevant again.
Just a hockey play my ass. Half dozen guys in the league that play like that ****ing mongoloid does and what a weird coincidence it just so happens to be that player making that play against a goalie he has a history with.
Blues fans are just so unreasonable to be upset about that, man.
