Wonder if Sutter was a bit banged up too or just shortened bench - I'd have expected him out defending much more than he was in the 3rd period late.

Obviously hope Myers isn't out too long but regardless - this is why we got defensive depth. Benn would be perfect for this series. Yes, he might make some mistakes, but he can really throw his body around and knock those big forwards off their feet below the red line.

If Sutter's injured as well our bottom-6 looks a lot worse, maybe promote Beagle and Motte to our 3rd line and bring in Gaudette?

I think if Tofolli wasn't injured, Jake wouldn't even be dressed. 

Yeah, I think you are right. I think Jake needs a good look in a mirror about taking his career seriously. It’s a shame, he has all the physical tools - he’s physically like a bigger, faster version of Horvat - built for this kind of hockey - but that is the extent of the positive comparison.

Loui out.

 

He filled in adequately, but he's not a top 6 forward anymore obviosly  - he's a solid player without the puck and that's about it. 

However, at the same time, his flat footed, standaround effort on the tying goal was weak - the 6 million dollar empty net specialist let us down there - didn't pressure the puck, didn't get in the lane = a disappointing effort by Loui there.

 

Toffoli into the top 6 - and leave the bottom six as it is.

I trust Eriksson more in the bottom six than Virtanen right now.

But Allen is inconsistent. 

He's had a good sample size on 24 games. But previous years....ick. 

 

Allen was a top ten goalie for a stretch and had always had a winning record... really he’s got a lot more to go on other then a cup and you can bet he’s itching to get the crease back.   Said it before the series started that the only thing that scares me about the Blues is Allen.  He’s played great for them this year - and can bet he’s motivated.   Just hope that going to OT was enough for the Blues to try Binnington one last time .... if they do series over ... for them

Man if they get Toffoli back how much better can they get?

Who does he go in for though? 

 

Everyone has been playing so well, including Eriksson. 

 

Same case for Gauds, Sutter has been a beast this post season.
