Re: Colorado vs. St. Louis, Friday Dec 29
26Bah. This team can not get out of the Wild Card range. A few games over .500 just does not cut it.
If they play MOST of their games the way they played in THIS game the rest of the season, they should get out of The Wild Card, and into the divisional seedings.BluesSK wrote: Fri Dec 29, 2023 9:33 pm Bah. This team can not get out of the Wild Card range. A few games over .500 just does not cut it.
I actually went to my local bar to watch this game last night, and I have some questions, this being one of them. I was subjected to early ‘90s Aerosmith instead of hockey audio. I have no idea why they got a penalty shot.
I experienced the 21st Century version of that indignity, when Mrs. JMC & I visited a residential Christmas light display in New Town-St. Charles a couple of weeks ago. The amplified annoyance of tunes from the movie Frozen drowned out Santa singing about his favorite reindeer.T.C. wrote: Sat Dec 30, 2023 6:55 amI actually went to my local bar to watch this game last night, and I have some questions, this being one of them.

Sadly true.RAFritchey wrote: Fri Dec 29, 2023 8:28 pmI think it's only 9 short handed goals, which still ties us for first in the NHL, with fewer times on the PK.Robb_K wrote: Fri Dec 29, 2023 7:41 pm But Thomas grabs the loose puck, skates up ice all alone and makes a deke that makes the goalie lean, and makes no mistake, popping th puck in, by him for the shorty!!!! Blues tie it up at 1!!!!!
That's The Blues' 10th shorthanded goal this season, leading The NHL!
Still:
The Blues have scored 11 goals on 101 PP opportunities. 10.89%
They've scored 9 goals on 93 penalty kills. 9.68%
If our PP were even AVERAGE (around 20%), we'd have another 10 goals or so, and most likely easily be in a wild-card spot.
