Felt the same way. Seems like Allen always gives up the big goal late in Dallas. We’ve seen it a couple times before
Allen had an excellent game. No way he even got a slight glimpse of the 6 on 5 goal. It WAS his fault he didn't react quickly enough on the shootout goal. Binnington would have stopped that because he wouldn't have opened such a big 5-hole. But, the game shouldn't have gone to OT. The Blues probably lost 90% of the races to the puck, and puck battles. Many times there were 3 Blues around the puck, and only one Star, and The Stars ended up with possession. The Blues sent passes directly to The Stars, couldn't keep the puck on their sticks, had no energy to go afyer the puck when they knocked it free, couldn't corral free-standing pucks even when they had a man twice as close to it, couldn't clear the puck from their zone. They could easily have lost this game 5 or 6 to 1, if The Stars weren't so inept at scoring.

The Blues had the fortitude and desire to NOT have the post Stanley Cup winning next season letdown, by earning the best record in The West, and then get the letdown during the pandemic "break", by being lazy, and not getting back into shape. And now they have the extra pressure to get their timing back , and get back in sync with their teammates quickly, on the fly, during their first playoff series. And, even if they beat Vancouver, they'll be reseeded from the 4th Place, instead of 1st Place.

Yeah, they don’t have it. Pretty much everything out of whack except the goaltending. Structure, gone, intensity, gone, swagger, gone, discipline, gone. And we’re not a gifted team skill wise to just exchange rushes. Right now it looks like the Blues will Flame out in 4 against Cal-Gary.
