What was most frustrating is the ones Phoenix scored were on bone-headed giveaways. You can't have that when you're in the playoff race. But I guess that is secondary to the fact that they couldn't score on 214 chances, until they had a 6-on-4, with a minute to play. Give Phoenix credit. They took advantage of the gifts given to them and stayed strong in their own zone.

This road trip will tell a lot about where this version of the Blues will end up, in the playoff race.
