The Blues gave away a point last night in my opinion. I really think they were out-played in the third third pretty thoroughly. Way too many giveaways in their own zone. A game like that will cost them dearly in the playoffs.
That was not their best game but... 1) They hadn't played in 10 days. Being disorganized at times and some sloppy play was to be expected. 2) They came back from a 2 goal deficit to get a win. 3) They were playing the 2nd best team in the NHL (by point standings).
I'll look at it as picking up a point on Nashville, rather than giving away anything...

And for those keeping score at home - a goal for Schwartz (How did he miss that chance in OT??) and an assist for Tarasenko..
But both were -2... That is a little something to watch for against the better teams. Both of those guys are young and still developing their two-way play. Schwartz is actually a little better than Tarasenko in that area right now. If you were watching the last 6-8 games closely, Tarasenko has a few cough-ups and poor back-checking efforts in some of those games. I have little doubt Hitchcock and the coaching staff are working with him on that.
How about Ryan "Bret Hull" Reaves last night? Letting one go from the top of the circle and going 5-hole? Who would have guessed Reaves and Ott would account for half of the scoring against Nashville?

I can't say I expected that, but I expect more from that line now with Goc at center.

Timmy - mark down that line's stats for the first half of the season....and then watch where they are in the second half with Goc. You will see a marked difference. He can play.

Oh look....another goal tonight by Reaves after Goc does the hard work in the corner.
Bubba - pay attention, I'll teach you something about hockey that the lugheads you've been reading don't quite understand.

Ok , so I watched part of the all star game and skills competition. Question: what happened to the guys with scars , flat noses and missing teeth ? I swear they looked like a junior college cross country team. Pretty boys with great hair....

Ryan Reaves for MVP! In the last two games his points per game is higher than Tarasenko or Schwartz!!

BIG road win for the Blues today in Washington. Those are the games they have to win. Stastny still needs to get going....he has been a disappointment. This team can be complete if he ups his game to his talent level.
Hopefully Shattenkirk is not injured badly.
This is a really good hockey club.

It was a heck of a game. All 60.
And one of Elliotts best.
Winning it without Shatt, Backes, Lehtera and Berglund?

A weird play it was.
Injury remains a bit mysterious. "abdominal" surgery. Waiting a week. Hernia?
Cole and Butler with more time now and I guess we'll see one of the up and comers on the wolves move up at some point.

Could be that Shattenkirk will miss 20 or more games. Blues are playing it close to the vest but if it is a sports hernia it will be at least that long. That's a big hole to fill. I hope he can get back, and get in playing shape, soon enough to contribute in the playoffs. They'll need him.

'Tis true.......I'm never going to get over breaking up what was one of the best goalie tandems in hockey at the time for a washed up head case....and the fawning by these idiots over it.
No, I don't think Halak was a #1.....but even then Elliot sure as hell was. That trade was an abortion....and we got dick for Halak.
The Blues and their fans are retards when it comes to goalies. Uh......just a reminder.....we had Bishop too.

Let's see you have the two highest scoring teams in the League.. and you end regulation in a 1 - 1 tie??  Was this a playoff game?? What an individual move by Schwartz for the game winner - that was awesome! Elliot stood on his head in that game.
Agreed that it was a real character win for the team.
