Enough players sandbagged Hitch to get him fired, so now they are 100% playing the game they want to play without the hard azz Hitch on their butts. It's amazing to me how in hockey time and time again the animals run the zoo. Remember Murray?

The Blues are winning with a lot of small play that wasn't happening before. And the rookies are a big part of the better play too.

But nothing bigger with this run than decent goal tending. It will take a year of consistent work from Allen to convince me he has what it takes.

I hate to lose Shatt but the word is the R/L Schmaltz and Dunn are ready to come up here and contribute and the Blues prospect pool especially at forward is really low. I say if DA can't get an impact forward for him then bring up the kids and get a #1 pick for Shatt. The upcoming Vegas expansion draft is really messing up a lot of deal chances for this deadline too.

They're all big from here on. Go Blue!
