Morrow: Blues' system fits me better than Pens'

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review visits with former Penguins winger Brenden Morrow, and how at this stage of his career he seems to be better-suited to the St. Louis Blues than he was during his brief stint with Dan Bylsma and the Pens.

“We play a gut-it-out, heavy-man kind of system in St. Louis,” Morrow said. “Pittsburgh was more of a chip-and-retrieve type of system, which helped them benefit from the speed that they have.”

Also: “Obviously,” Morrow said, “with the boots I've got, the system that they play in Pittsburgh really didn't fit my game. The system in St. Louis is completely different than what Pittsburgh does, and it fits me better.”

Morrow mentioned how playing the full season with the Blues has helped as well, helping him gain trust from the coaches.
