GDT: blue flame

[Blanick]

b2b shutouts, I like it.

 

[LGB51]

I don't. Last time we played them they were a different team. Johnny Hockey was completely invisible(I'm fairly certain I wondered aloud in the GDT if he was even playing) and now he's one of their better players. They believe in themselves and are battling for a playoff spot. I think they'll come out very hard. I expect a Blues OT/SO victory.

Looks like you were wrong

And Ells stands alone as the Blues shutout leader

 

[Dbrownss]

Elliott is still a Backup. Pffffff

 

[Lakewood]

A poster almost ruins things for Elliott.

Well I for one can say I've said nothing but positive things.

Elliott gets the shutout, his 21st with The Blues - their all time leader!
Blues back tied for The Conference lead!

 

[LGB51]

Congrats to Brian Elliot setting the all-time Blues record for shutouts!

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Blues have shutouts in 3 of the last 4 games now.

 

[journeyman79]

Elliott trolls his haters with his new club record.

 

[TheDizee]

great all around team win tonight. goaltending was great, defense shut them down and our forwards got some timely goals.

 

[taylord22]

I'm amazed at how much of an identity Bortuzzo and Lindbohm had in one game. Calgary didn't have many answers tonight, but I'll be anxious to see that pairing a few more times before the PO start.

b2b shutouts, I like it.

If not for the hiccup against the Wild, it would be 3 shutouts in a row, 2 for Ells, 1 for Jake.

I'm used to it by now

Very happy for Ells. He's a guy I will always root for. Wish Steener could've buried that empty netter to finish his hatty.

I'm pretty sure we just took the central division lead outright tonight as well

 

[Blues88]

Just a great team performance all around. They didn't let off the pedal much at all and that's all we can ask for.

Lindbohm was incredible tonight. Good feel for the game and great positioning. He also isn't afraid to eat it along the wall if a play isn't there exiting the zone and he's facing a lot of pressure. I respect the **** out of that and think its smart hockey.

Rolled 4 lines, no weak links, Elliott was great, and things are right with the world.

 

[Dbrownss]

Hiller was actually good tonight. This game could of had a Vladitrick too. But he'll be content playing great hockey and maintaining his mediocre PPG pace.

 

[Fred Murtz]

Jori Lehtera wrist shot goal 2-0



Alexander Steen blast from high slot goal 3-0

 

[LGB51]

And I actually finally win another Vcash bet, betting on the Blues

Don't look now, but Vladi is only 4 points behind the leader (JT) in the race for the Art Ross Trophy. Odd that he's been able to keep pace given that he hasn't really been on a tear in a while. One more good push in the last 12 games and we may have the first ART winner ever. Wouldn't it be nice if 2 trophies were raised by the Note this year for the first time ever?

Man, it felt like Jaskin, Bortuzzo and Lindbohm were out there the whole game. Jaskin has become a trusted player. Plenty of prime PP time. It's just great to see a couple rookie players establish roles as contributors this season. I'm especially thrilled with Lindbohm's trajectory.

David Backes wrist shot EN goal 4-0

He's turned a corner since that Minnesota gaff that put the game away. He's been so much better in his own zone these last 2 games. I think we'll see him turn it up in the last couple weeks. I mean there are 2 Chicago games for him to stomp a mud hole in .

It's going to be a hell of a Art Ross race, but with the guys up there, making up ground may be too much. But as you said....a couple dominant games and he's right there.

Boy that trophy is gonna cost Army alot

Pretty impressive. I hope Vladi realizes that his shot curl is almost rhythmic and other teams are tuning into it. A slight change in tendency would probably go a long way in avoiding some of those direct blocks.

I didn't even realize he was that close because I really couldn't fathom a Blues player winning it.
