Great feed by Schenn, but Perron hits the crossbar!!!
Blues trying to thread too many passes. Need to put more at net and crash.

Not as good, but we held. Need to come out firing in the third. Would like to see one early and put em on their heels

Going to need a better third to pull this one out.

Strong push back from the Avs that period. I felt like Blues turned it on a little bit in the last 5 minutes though. Binny was strong that period.

Man, the puck sure finds Thomas' stick! I can't wait until he breaks through as an all-the-time difference-maker!
Another good period for The Blues. They need to keep up the intensity and energy in The 3rd, and not get tired from the thinner air.

I don't think it's necessarily a conscious thing on the part of refs.
At the start of the season they're fresh off their off-season job training, it's a relatively relaxed atmosphere, and everything is fresh. It creates a low stakes atmosphere that favors making calls.
As the season winds down, there's a lot more pressure on making the "right" calls, of not favoring one team or another with so much on the line, a lot of built of fatigue from a season of travel, arguing with players/coaches, etc. They're just in a different place mentally, with a different game context, and that affects people whether they're aware of it or not.
I like the Blues logo masks the coaching staff are wearing. I wonder if they are available to the general public?
Not a great period but but binny was strong. I'm starting to like Krug.
Exactly how I saw it. Hope we ride that late momentum into the 3rd

Gotta agree. I think fans want the ideal of “if it’s a penalty in October, it’s a penalty in April,” but that’s definitely not the reality. I mean, the players are always loose defensively to start the year and tighten as the year goes along, it’s just that the refs do too.
Binnington is the reason we're still in the lead. Can't ask for anything more from him. He's looked great.
Need to seal the deal in the third with a couple of goals.

Sloppy period in parts, Binny rules.
That first pk O'Reilly had a sequence starting in our end that was awesome, felt like he covered 3 different players and then broke up the pass. If he was a little faster he'd be a top 10 player in the league

Defense still seems to be work in progress. Faulk and Scandella struggling to mesh. Dunn has had rough time. Parayko looks great though and think Krug is gonna be great add.
