Just couldn't overcome the poor play/mistakes/freebie goals they gave up.

Garland was just feeding dudes in the slot to end the game. Blues had no answers for having a guy down low in that position with the puck.

Good game today -- we lost but played well. @_Del_ was right re: short leash line -- if they drive the net / play big like they did in the first period and the end of the game we'll be ok. Keep 'em together for 2-3 years maybe they'll be dominant like they were in the first period. Of course @_Del_ did not like the line initially / thought they'd get run over physically but I don't think they did any worse than the rest of our team today, imo better together than apart.

The Blues are a cup contending team! We didn't get outplayed. Maybe we can make playoffs this year and put up a fight in the first round (very well could be against these Blues)

I want everyone on the team chirping him that he doesn't shoot enough. He's too nice. He defers to the vets, or really anyone else to take the shot.

I think he meant Dvo got it in the perfect spot but couldn't elevate high enough. Dvo has been shooting a lot.

I don't remember when we had a guy that good at drawing guys in and then exposing them. Whether it was in the corner with two defenders or on the Schmaltz goal where he created a lane and then passed through it. He is on another level from anyone else on the team.

Ohh I was wanting him to shoot when he had the puck near the point. He had space to find a lane but passed to Kessel.

He also passed on a breakaway earlier in the year. I think he might be our best overall forward. I'd like him to play like it. Play with some swagger like Garland and Schmaltz.

Kuemper should punch Goligoski. Maybe the team will waive him after.
We have to trade him this week or next.

He's our 2nd worst dman. When OEL and Bush are back Gross and Goose should be the odd men out.

If we scratch him, his value tanks. Right now we might be able to trick a team into giving us a 2nd for him.

Dvorak is turning into something special before our eyes.

Getting a little tired of Caggiula. Seems to get caught in something stupid every game. That’d be more acceptable if he had the offense to make up for his mistakes. I’d say put him in the taxi for a bit but we don’t really have any viable replacements either.

Won’t be able to move a contract of that size til the deadline.

Once Crouse is back sit Cags. Surprisingly he has four assists. I like some aspects of his game, but he takes too many bad penalties and with our top defenseman being out it has become too costly. Give him some time off and then see what he does once back in the lineup.

Hunt played exactly how I expected. He should be a regular. Good decision making and compete. Basically another Pitlick out there.

If not for Goligoski and Gross they probably win
Hell, if not for Hayden, they probably win. A winger shouldn't ever drop that low, when all he’s providing is unnecessary double coverage.

Blues coasted in period 1, then they woke up and way outplayed us. They are just way better. Gross gets exposed again, we need OEL and Bush back in the line up.

Hard to complain about that game. Watching Dvo, Garland and Schmaltz all really start growing this year is very encouraging. Chychrun is really starting to become something as well, just needs to be able to hit the damn net and clean up some of his risky pinches.

Bush should be in next game and Gross should be back to the taxi. Demers seems to be the vet getting back to form. I've seen enough of Goligoski and ready to sit him or trade him.

I thought the short leash line was pretty damn good and caused havoc in the offensive end while not being an absolute determent in their own. The 4th line was a much more loose and much less punishing/grindy. It will be good to get one of Crouse of Fischer back. Hayden was better than I expected him to be however. Should be a nice depth piece. I'm all for moving All that being said, if Hayton keeps getting jerked around like this he needs to be sent down. Move Fischer for Bennett, send Hayton down and then rotate Hayden and Hunt into the lineup while calling up Burke who absolutely deserves another shot.

Really can't say enough of how much Garland, Schmaltz and Dvo have progressed so far this season. Garland really feels like the glue on whatever line he is on. Dvo is producing away from the top offensive guys making up the short leash line. All good stuff moving forward.
