I got to watch most of the game, flipping back and forth to the WS. Steen was what the Blues need him to be and how he has played in the past. Not so much about the points but the intensity and tenacious play. Of course, with that will come the points for a player of his caliber. Hopefully, last year was an aberration due to injury or something else. If he plays the rest of the year like he has since returning, the Blues will be a much, much better team.
Dunn seems to be the real deal but we need to see how he does after 40 and 60 games. Can he keep it up? Let's hope so.
Overall, last night was a great game, not because they won but because they took care of business when they should have. They took advantage of a lesser team that was gassed from an OT/SO game the night before. They never let off the gas and just buried them in the 2nd and 3rd. Had Allen not taken a spill like a 6 year-old, learning to skate, it would have been 4-1 or 5-1. That is the mark of a team playing with the right mindset and intensity. Get them down, keep them down and finish them off.
A big tip of the cap to Doug Armstrong for not only getting the talent needed but getting the chemistry right as well. Probably best GM out there, don't you think? 
Go Blues!!
