The Blues will be shorthanded as they got very tired being trapped in their own end for almost 2 and a half minutes.

The Blues should have scored with Barbashev in on goal all alone with 2 shots. At least they killed off the penalty. Then, The Blues were lucky when 2 Bruins were in alone on goal, and accidentally push the puck past the net, and out of danger.

Man, I hate Boston.

Blues on The Power Play thanks to Tarasenko not retaliating. And Krug makes a good move around a defender, and then blasts it by the goalie!!!! Blues tie it up at 2!!!! His 9th!!!

Good call

Swayman robs Tarasenko, driving the net and collecting a super tape to tape pass from Barbashev!

Tarasenko hits the post!

Beautiful tic-tac-toe passing play by Thomas and Buchnevich to Tarasenko, who buries it!!! Blues lead 3-2!!!!

hit ‘em with the ole razzle dazzle

I said it before and I’ll say it again…Thomas just shits points.

Besides apparently being fun to watch, this game is a fantastic uniform matchup as well.

The Bruins dominated for much of The 2nd Period, but The Blues come through with 2 late goals, and carry a one-goal lead into The 3rd. Great job in a road game against an Eastern Conference Stanley Cup contender. I hope they come out strong in The 3rd, and get an early insurance goal. Nice to see Krug play well in his return game.

He'll be The Blues next 100 point scorer. It's been so long, I can't even remember who their last one was. (Hull? Janney?Shanahan? in the early to early-mid 1990s?)

Sometimes two or three times a day! Might need to look into his diet.

Super play again by The Thomas Buchnevich and Tarasenko line, with a 3 on 1 and great passing play to Tarasenko, who buries it, for his 2nd tonight and 28th of the year!!!! Blues lead 4-2!!!

The Blues own Boston

Not a lot of people remember this, but in 2019, the Blues actually won the Stanley Cup. The team they beat in the Final? The Boston Bruins. The Blues actually won Game 7 IN Boston, in the very same rink they played in tonight.

Buchnevich should have had that empty-netter. But, never mind. The Blues played a great gutsy game on the road against a tough team! Blues have won 6 in a row under pressure, and keep the pressure on The Wild in the battle for 2nd place in The Central, and 3rd in The Western Conference. And they continue to build up their momentum going into The Playoffs. Great win! The Tarasenko/Thomas/Buchnevich Line continues to impress. So do Leddy, Parayko, Perron, Schenn, Barbashev, Faulk, and just about the whole team stepped up. Nice to see Krug play so well in his first game back.

They've owned them since that afternoon miracle comeback game years back.

Frederick opened the Tarasenko door

I loved that self-satisfied smirk on Vlady's face when Frederick just bounced right off him and started falling towards the ice, as if to say: 'Are you kidding???" he wasn't about to take a swing at him and have The Blues lose out on getting the man advantage for 2 minutes. and somehow he knew that The Blues would score on that one.
