If you like old time hockey, that was a pretty good game. Most impressive by the Blues was the tight checking, disciplined, defense first approach. They did very good job of puck control and working as one unit. They withstood a few pretty good pressures by TB and kept their cool. Only criticism for me was the lack of mucking in front of the net. When a netminder is stopping everything you throw at him, it's time to create havoc in front of him and get a dirty goal or two.

Unfortunately, Allen is going to have to play one of the games this weekend. May they'll trade him by then...
