Blues playing WAY to passive now. I can't believe this is what the coaches want to see with a 1 goal lead in the 3d period!

THAT'S more like it!

Schwartz seals it with an empty-netter, on a nice pass by Sobotka!!! 3-1 Blues!!!

Blues win!!! Great road win on a back-t0-back!!! Blues 4-0 in this young season!

Four and 0. Wow. Great start.

I'm officially excited about this season.

Honk-Honk-Honk!

What a start to the year. Great goaltending by Hutton.

Seems like this year we’re okay with giving up a higher volume of shots, while trying to limit dangerous ones. As opposed to Hitch’s try to stop all shots all the time philosophy.

You know, I was just thinking about the shot count umslblues12. I remember those damn red wings beating us with 20 shots and we shot 100. Boy this feels good.

It is pretty crazy. I mean Hextall was the one that had all the leverage. I mean he could of at least held out and asked for a 2nd rd pick or a decent prospect to be thrown in as well. I mean if you're Armstrong would you kill the deal just because of that? I don't think so.

I think you are on to something... although they were a tad sloppy in their own end, they really keep the shots to the perimeter. It feels like every goal that has gone in has been a long shot with a screen in front. And the one last night was just a bad rebound. I really like the new look. Very refreshing to see a higher tempo/ more creative offense as well.

All of this ^

And I think they mentioned this during the broadcast that there is less of a focus on blocking shots because to often it screened the goalie or created crazy bounces that would lead to a better scoring chance on the weak side.
