I'm still to pissed about the laydown last night. The Blues decided with about 5 mins to go that a tie or loss would be OK. Both the #3 and #4 goals for the Stars were the result of rookies not playing NHL hockey. On #3 Perron did not take his man in the defensive zone and he got an easy goal. If that kid thinks he is so gifted he doesn't have to come back in the defensive zone and help (i.e. do his job), he had better rack up 100+ points every year. That won't due. The #4 goal was simply an undressing of Polak. I'm high on that kid because he plays smart and loves to hit. So why the hell does he decide to play defense by poke-checking a man in front of his own net? A simple body check, knocks him off the puck and Mason clears it out. Rookie mistakes!! And I don't even want to talk about the game winner. Four players standing in a box, flat-footed, as if they were short-handed, just waiting for the Stars to take shots at Mason!!! Did anyone think it might be important to actually play hockey in OT?!?!?!?!
OK rant over...
The rest of the story is simple. They need to win out and need some help. Had they won last night, their destiny was in their hands. Now they have to rely on other teams that may be coasting and preserving energy for the playoffs...
Go Blue...
