Re: GDT: SCF Game 8: St Louis Blues at Bridesmaid Bruins - 6:00 10/26 - TV: NBCSN Radio: 101.1ESPN

Thomas got off a nice shot just before the period ended. The Blues still have 1:18 of The PP to start The 3rd. They'd better win that all-important faceoff, and score on it.

Meanwhile, they've been outplayed during The First 2 periods. The Bruins are winning a goodly percentage of the races to the puck, and are skating hard to double-team The Blue with the puck. They just seem to want this game more than The Blues do. A BIG, BIG play in this game was when 2 Blues wanted to make a solid hit on an opponent in the O Zone, even after they saw that The Bruins were starting back up ice towards The Blues' zone. THAT gave The Bruins a 3 on 1, at first, which only became a 3 on 2, when Parayko finally reached them. But it was too late, and The Bruins scored. THAT mental error gave The Bruins their 2nd goal, and makes it very tough for The Blues to catch up in The 3rd, against a tough defence, a great goalie in Rask, and The NHL's best penalty killing team.
