The Blues looked good early but just couldn't convert. But, they looked sluggish during the second half of the period. Could it be that after handling The Kings so easily in Saturday's game that they subconsciously just phoned this period in (are taking The Kings too lightly)? They'd better come out ready to play in The 2nd. We need them to stay hot for the entire early part of the season, to have a better chance of keeping ahead of Colorado, and finishing with the best playoff seeding possible - but also to look like a World-beater, so Tarasenko will forget about wanting to leave, and play his very best.
Nice to see Husso with a little calmness and poise. At least he didn't make any gross errors and let in any cheapies.
