Go figure The Process has some health drama...First it was the knee, then the stomach now he has some upper resp problem.

It's crazy to me how much the Blues are dominating this game and it's still tied.

Begs the question. Do you want your three most dominating players to have 70 to 100 points per season or would you rather have a balanced line up that could get you deep for a playoff run?

I think going to OT works against the Blues. Billington is getting no work, so that allowed some rust or allowing him to not get into a rhythm. Keep your foot on the gas blues.

Embarrassing. Jimmy butler is peacing out of this mess after they get dumped. Embiid will not last in this league and Simmons-Jenner is a triple single machine in the playoffs. The process has led to a team that can’t put up a fight in the second round in Lebron less east

Its a shame because Embiid obviously has the talent but I feel like he has missed as many games as he has played in his career.

Anyway, go Coach Punchface!

Whoever said Bouwmeester is like a taller Andrew MacDonald isn’t paying attention. Jay-B doesn’t put up the offensive numbers anymore and he was never overly physical but he’s solid in his own end and is aggressive on the puck carrier. Jay Bouwmeester sees a lot of heavy minutes.

The Blues (most noticeably the top line) is fantastic at supporting the cup carrier. Just one Dallas thinks they’ve caused a turnover, a Blues player swoops on in and picks up the loose puck.

statistically they are virtually the same player with Bouwmeester actually having worse possession metrics but slightly more points. I don't watch the Blues so i cant speak for the eye test but i wouldn't really want either of them on my team at this point in their careers.

What are their minutes Differential? It could be the structure of the team. This Blues team is really good.

yeah the Blues have a really solid defense and they dont rely on Bouwmeester like the Flyers do with Amac. he can just be what he is at this point and they know what they are getting out of him. he doesn't have to play the "mentor" role on a pairing with a young defenseman either which keeps his minutes fairly reasonable i would assume.

Wait, what?

The Blues do rely on Jay-Bo. Mac has been a scratch for most of the second half of this season.
