The big man is flying around the ice this year, currently leading all NHL defensemen with 95 instances of 20+mph bursts. That's 2 more than Cale Makar, not bad huh? Philip Broberg is top six in max speed this year at 23.48 and the Blues as a whole are top 10 overall in 20+mph bursts and top 3 from the Defenseman behind only Avalanche & Kraken. If it seems like this teams D-men can skate, it's because they can! https://edge.nhl.com/en/home

  1. Watched the analytics-version of the Clasic for a bit last week and was impressed by Colt55’s speed and TOI stats.

  2. The blues are clearly one of the faster teams in the league this year. It’s jarring seeing sunnyd on the team because basically everyone can skate. I feel the same way about Tucker too. If they were a bit better offensively, no doubt you would see them in the top 5 but you have to be able to break the game open with you stick and get leads to create more odd chances

  3. Better forwards will help. He isn’t losing speed or value in the next two+
