Barbashev, Buchnevich get some one-on-one time with Berube after practice. 26 марта 2022 года. Timmermann, Tom. St. Louis Post - Dispatch; St. Louis, Mo. When Blues practice ended on Friday at Centene Community Ice Center, Blues coach Craig Berube skated over to Ivan Barbashev as he stretched, tapped him on the butt with his stick and called him over to the boards for a conversation. When Berube was done with Barbashev, he skated across the ice to where Pavel Buchnevich was doing some stick work and had an even longer conversation with him. While there have been plenty of team meetings during the Blues' present struggles, these on-ice one-on-ones are just as significant. "That's just part of the job," Berube said. "Keep talking to people, trying to get to a level that's needed to make a real good push here and then a real good push in the playoffs." Barbashev played a season-low -- by about five minutes -- 7:52 on Thursday against Philadelphia and wasn't on the ice for the last 12:52 of the Blues' 5-2 loss. "We all know how' Barbie' can play the game with his forechecking ability and physical play," Berube said, "and things like that drives the team. It did back then, I believe it does now. He has the capabilities of doing that and that's what we need from him." Buchnevich didn't see his ice time drop but he has no goals and two assists in his past eight games. "I told (Buchnevich) your confidence will come," Berube said. "You've just got to work your way out of it. A player like himself, he takes it personally. He's not very happy right now with himself and he wants to help more and do more and sometimes when you try to do too much you do less. Be more direct, shoot more pucks. Sometimes he gets too cute." Jordan Kyrou played just two shifts in the third period and wasn't on the ice in the final 14:27 of the game. "(What's missing is him) just him using his assets to the best of his ability more than anything," Berube said. "His speed and attack and doing things with the puck. He's just not engaged enough. That's the bottom line. He was in Washington. I thought he had a good game, he skated and competed and worked. Last game, he didn't reload hard, he didn't use his speed, didn't attack. He's gotta be more consistent that way." Berube specifically did not talk to Kyrou on Friday. "I left him alone today," he said. "I think he realizes it. I think he'll respond and have a good game, that's what I believe." |
