Here's hoping Binner can make some more Sharks fans cry tonight

It'd be cool if the Blues score more goals than the Sharks tonight.

Sharks' net, or other?

I won't worry about this question unless I see Marc Bergavin there scouting.

No lineup news yet? Need a W tonight. Got to pump up that record!!!!!!!

Third game in 4 nights. No practice to base lines off of but I'd imagine they'll be the same as last game.

Maybe tonight is the night Taransenko scores. We all need to call it. I say late in the first period, on the PP.

I think I heard in last game, that the Blues last 5 PP goals have all been on their first shot on the PP.

Well, Husso is starting tonight. Disappointing to not have that storyline.

That's weird. They've traded starts since the last SJ games.

Yeah, certainly odd to have your backup start two games of 3 in 4 nights. But hey, he's won 4 straight so lets ride the hot hand. I'm just happy we have two capable goalies.

That was a damn good fight to start this game off

MIIIIIIKKOLA!! Just over 4 minutes into this Tarasenko wins a battle in the boards, puck ends up back to Mikkola who scores his first NHL goal.

1-0 good guys

Tarasenko steals the puck and sends a long pass to Mikkola, who scores his first goal of the season!!! Blues lead 1-0!!!!

Curtis Gabriel of course is best known for getting one punch dropped by Vince Dunn in the tunnel during their time in the AHL

Mikkola's goal

Wow!!! Joshua is winning faceoffs at 68%. in addition to his feisty and spirited hustling. I hadn't realised that he's been winning that many.

Blues get their first PP chance with 5 to go in the first.

7 mins into the second and the Sharks tie it at 1

Are The Blues buying budget sticks???? They've been breaking an awful lot lately!

Perron scores the PP Goal with a knuckling one-timer!!!! Blues lead 2-1!!!!

Hart trophy winner —— David Perron

How awesome is it for Mikkola to score his first NHL goal on a feed from Tarasenko?

I'm just tuning in to watch the game, is everyone else watching the game from the top seats.
