I do remember the strategic bashing of Renteria. He did seem to respond to it. I remember trying that same tactic with Tino Martinez with much less success.
Tarasenko came up big last night and is fully deserving of the praise he is receiving today. I think some of us fans have never truly accepted that he’s merely a very good (and occasionally great) player. Kaprizov is a great (and occasionally elite) player. It’s a mistake to try to compare them. This is a repeat of the faulty comparison made in the past when Panerin was with the Hawks. Every Russian star does not need to be compared with every other Russian star.
#91 is a very good player and a key part of a balanced attack. Let’s accept him for what he is; the Blues are lucky to have him.
