So...that D's a little scary when you remove 3 guys in one night eh? Hopefully Krug is able to go tonight at least.

I'm more worried about our forward kids... other team's kids are making them look like chopped liver.

I’m old enough to remember when Jordan Kyrou was good

Krug out for warmups is a good sign

Sounds like we're going to the mattresses.

Thomas all alone in actually shoots it. But yeah didn’t score but progress! They just have to leave him no options to pass to. Maybe he passed it to the goalie actually

Thomas in all alone, and just shoots the puck into where the goalie was going to be reacting to him. He needs to work on his deking and different scoring moves!!

Well he did almost score so there's that.

Blues on the power play after Krug hits the crossbar,

Blues score!!! Tarasenko battles in front and bangs the loose puck in!!!

I think Chief finally figured out Tank sucks at passing so let's park him in front of the net.

The Blues are BACK!

Schenn blasts one in on a fine feed from O'Reilly from behind the net!!!! Blues lead 2-0!!!

Fuck Colorado!

When Bortuzzo is on his game he's formidable

Bortz is this entire damn team

Doubt that but I wish they all played with his edge

With all that time and room, I'd have made a quick stutter move left, then lifted it to the right top corner as he'd probably move a little towards the lower left, or, at the very least, be starting to lean or shift weight in that direction, and then probably be too late in getting his weight shifted back and his stick or body back to cover the open area. At least that's what we were taught. He's got such great skill and is a good skater. He just worked way too much on his passing, to the detriment of his shooting and scoring moves. But, if he can control his stick with such touch precision, he can learn to control it to make tough and accurate shots. He needs to concentrate on that to make himself a complete offensive forward and a much more valuable player. Lots of players continued developing after being in The NHL for awhile...... moving from a below average, or ordinary player to a star.

Bernies words of wisdom and I quote" the most important stat is they're leading 2 to nothing" truer words have never been spoken.
