That should have been holding on The Stars. So many penalties on BOTH teams should have been called.

Blues will go on The Power Play!!! They REALLY need to score on this one, to release the pressure.

Great skate toe save by Lindgren, Jamie Benn fans on the puck, leaving in it for Barbashev, who makes no mistake, hitting the open net from almost The Red Line!!! :dancingbanana: :dancingbanana: :dancingbanana: :dancingbanana: :dancingbanana:

Lindgren makes yet another fabulous save! He's flashed All Star level style tonight. The Blues should play him as the starter, at least until he cools off.

Blues win a really well-played game! And, while they are streaking, they are building up The NHL's deepest team, giving their 2nd and 3rd wave of extra players' experience, so they all will be able to fill in without the team losing a beat. Things couldn't be much better (other than Tarasenko announcing that he wants to stay with The Blues).

I want to throw a job well done to Chief for keeping this team motivated thru all the injuries and illness.
One hell of a job.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of organ-eye-zational depth with the Blues. In years past, replacement players stuck out like a sore thumb… these guys can play. Great job Army!!!

Oddly enough they have meandered their way to an eight game point streak. Coaching staff has done well

No doubt... gotta love his style. Hitch would have wore his veterans down to a nub. Chief has his call-ups out there taking regular shifts with the game on the line, and they work their asses off for him. Mucho props to the coaching staff... Happy Birthday, Chief!!!

I can’t believe we got our very own bonafide, top notch, first class, Russian line 😂. It’s nice to see management doing what every average fan would say, and marry up the 3 Russians. Not only does it make sense but you found yourself a better player in Barbashev.

This might be a sign that the current Blues ownership has finally recognized the value of a single-focus NHL-AHL affiliation. But I still have my doubts that they have changed their tune. So enjoy it while the dream lasts.

Saw Lindy for the first time in a post-game interview clip last night. Who on these Boards knew that the Blues Hockey Ops folks were now recruiting talent at the Pilot Flying J Travel Center? :?

Sorry for the lack of GDT. Was actually traveling back to St Louis for the holidays. Which also funny enough means I wont get to see the games now because of blackout restrictions. Good to see Charlie Sideburns still is on fire and that the Blues may have found something in Logan Brown.

Yes exactly. I've been screaming about this for years. It's why teams like the Red Wings were dominant for so long

Hopefully, it convinces Tarasenko to change his tune and want to remain with the Blues.

I've been trying to figure out our forward lines for next season and we really do need him to stay.

Keep the Russian Troika rolling. The rest of the team will sort itself out.

This and Russian dominance. The Blues are the new Red Wings

I havent been this excited about a line since the Slovak line of Demitra, Handzus, Bartecko.
