Clearly, they're tired. They don't always fold. And just as I type this they let a Kracken forward get behind The Blues' defence, and make it 3-0!

They're tired.

4-0... worst lead in hockey

The Blues thought they'd be able to rest up during this game, never having lost to The Kracken. But you can't win a game playing in The NHL skating at half speed, and not even looking before you pass the puck, playing against a team who is actually trying. So much for being over .500 again.

Good kill! Now let's score a few goals and get back into this game!

Nice patience by Greiss on that penalty shot.

Parayko, driving to the net, all alone, gets a perfect pass from Brown, and buries it!!!! Blues avoid the shutout.

Saad should have scored there!

The Blues will go on the power play! Let's score and cut the lead in half, and get back in the game!

Buchnevich shoots it just when the pass reaches him, snaps it by the goalie for the power play goal!!!! Blues down by only 2!!!!

I hate that move. I just hate it. My biggest complaint about Berube.

Five fucking minutes left. Jesus

I don't think I would remove my goalie with 4:20 left and my team skating in quicksand on the 2nd game of a 2nd back-to-back in a handful of days - especially BEFORE a face-off win is made. But, The Blues weren't going to win this game, anyway. Back down to .500. Let's hope we can beat The hated Golden Knights.

Someone needs to tell Berube that he doesn't have to juggle every line when one player gets injured.

Yeah that was bad. Way too early. Blues had some momentum, just missed making it 4-3 at the 6:40 mark. That wasn't a good move. And again, they pulled the goalie with a faceoff coming up. We've done that before where we lose the faceoff and they score 5 seconds later. I like pulling the goalie while rushing the puck in. Not with a faceoff looming. That combo just doesn't seem to work for us - ha

Berube couldn't risk having Greiss pull a Binner, and trying to behead the nearest Kraken skater while skating to the bench for an extra attacker.
