Good start to the series, considering they were outplayed much of the game. This was one of those games where you talk about a goalie carrying you. It was needed and Elliott stepped up and answered the call. Good to see.

As good as Elliott was last night, you can't expect that every game. The rest of the team needs to play much, much better. Once again, the 2nd period was a no-show for them. How they got out of that period with a 2-1 lead is a mystery. They were out-shot 16-5 and played about 90% of the period in their own end... Faceoffs were about as lopsided as I've seen in a Blues game as well. Didn't look at the stats but it has to be ugly. They have to do better on the faceoffs...

The good news is that even playing that poorly in the 2nd, they got the W and are up 2-1.

Go Blues!!
