John Gove: Blues Face Uphill Battle in Must-Win Game

Just curious:
What is your take on Kadri? How many games should he be suspended ( if any )?

Team is just so depleted, especially on defense.
Gunner out for season, Parayko playing hurt the entire season, Dunn out, Walkman Covid. Now add 2 more defenseman to the list potentially.

It will take a lot for the Blues to win a game. Must come out Friday with desperation, especially from their forwards. Would like to see the Blues sizeable youth inserted if possible. If they don’t game 3, game 4 should see some fresh faces???

Kadri’s suspension history, especially in the playoffs, is a big factor for me. Shows he is not learning. He absolutely needs a hefty message sent to him. Is rest of playoffs reasonable? Might be too harsh based on historical suspensions. But at some point, something must be done, and NHLPA needs to protect all of it’s players.

For me, this is a clearly dirty hit targeting the head from a repeat offender. I'm surprised we haven't heard any news of a suspension but I do not know how you don't at least suspend him for the rest of this series. Should be more but predicting suspension lengths is impossible in this league.

It's possible but it is also a sign of giving up on the series. Yes, the chances of this team actually coming back and winning this series are incredibly slim. Still, the competitive nature of the organization, coach, and veteran players makes me think they will ice the best possible roster every game until they are sent home.
