2Walker sitting tonight. I thought he's been playing pretty well.

4The Blues go on The Power Play!!! Let's take the lead!!!
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
5Tarasenko is robbed by Quick! Great chance!
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
6Not a good penalty by Kyrou. The Blues would have gotten back. It wasn't a sure goal for The Kings.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
7The Blues look TERRIBLE! They can't even keep the puck on their sticks. What happened to them since last season's playoffs??? They only lost Perron. His loss can't turn everyone's play to garbage. Was HE the entire key to their confidence, and the key to tapping into their abilities???
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
8And right after I complain, Schenn has a great wraparound deflected by Doughty! But good steal and chance by The Blues.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
9Looks to me,like the Kings want the puck a lot more than most of the Blues.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
10Nice move by Tarasenko to get in close, and he got off a decent pass to Buchnevich, who should have grabbed it, but, apparently wasn't expecting it.

11His loss has effectively neutered the top line. I think it's had a huge impact.Robb_K wrote: Mon Oct 31, 2022 7:35 pm The Blues look TERRIBLE! They can't even keep the puck on their sticks.

12A so-so 1st Period by The Blues, started off poorly, but got better near its end. I don't remember seeing Mikkola or hearing his name. I saw Rosen a fair amount. Is Rosen playing instead of Mikkola tonight? If so, it was a good decision.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
13Yes. He was scratched along with Walker.Robb_K wrote: Mon Oct 31, 2022 7:44 pm A so-so 1st Period by The Blues, started off poorly, but got better near its end.

14Perron with his 5th goal tonight!! Oh wait, wrong team.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
15Barbashev, Neighbours and Walker had a good chance there. But on the way back to the other end, The Kings score.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
16Then The Blues get a 3 on 0, and Kyrou shoots a weak shot straight into Quick's stick when the latter is fully squared towards him. And, to top it off, Kopitar scores for The Kings, when The Blues play sloppily on getting back. 
And then Faulk takes a high-sticking penalty!

18And of course, The Kings score at the last second of the power play!
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
19Toropchenko hard on the loose puck, shoves it past Quick!!! At least we won't be shut out. 
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
20Binnington has nothing to apologise for. NONE of the goals were his fault. He had no chance on any of them, thanks to gaffs by his skaters, and a little bad luck.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
21Brown had lots of open net there! Too bad he couldn't control the puck enough to get off a decent shot on his backhand.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
22This is depressing. Binner deserves better. Blues are not going to win, but they need to show some pride, and start making life difficult on the Kings.
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
23Just checking in to say Tage Thompson has 6 points tonight.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!
Re: GDT: St Louis Blues vs LA Kings - 7:00 10/31 - TV:BSMW/ESPN+
24Another lousy period, even with Buchnevich back. It seems like The Blues don't have the right players tp play in Berube's new system. He'd better find different way to have them play, or he might need to find another job. I don't think they could beat even The Blackhawks the way they are playing now. I don't think they can beat ANY NHL team by playing this way.
