i think grgirffin is right man, d-zone coverage has been a problem for years, can't just get rid of bouwmeester and expect everything to magically fix itself @dpetrov

tbh bouwmeester's system knowledge is gonna be hard to replace, he was still skating circles around those kids last season man @Blues2

yeah tom_blues, bouwmeester was still skating like he was 25, that's why we're struggling in the d-zone, but its not just about system knowledge, man, @dpetrov gotta stop worrying about matchups and start getting our guys to play positionally sound

idk why ppl keep saying bouwmeester's system knowledge is gonna be hard to replace, he never really had a system in STL lol @dpetrov honestly man

lol yeah i've been saying that for years, bouwmeester basically just let players make plays on their own and it got messy @tom_blues would agree with me on that one man
