Bad OZone exit leads to sustained pressure against and an icing. Gotta get back to OZone pressure

None of that happens if the refs actually call whoever tripped Schenn in the neutral zone

That last shift was an example of why you need to get the puck out quickly from your own zone. Something we have struggled with all season.
Edit: But we don't need to clear like Thomas just did

Hard to forecheck when you’re in your own zone. Leads to unforced errors like DoG. Big big kill here.

A couple more thoughts:
- That first goal from Tarasenko felt extremely significant. This wasn’t a rebound tap-in. This was an old-Vladdy goal where the goalie saw it coming and Vlad just beats him with the shot.
- In think folks are expecting too much from Parayko coming back. His timing is poor right now and he’s not up to the speed of the game. I’m not seeing what others are claiming to see that looks like his back is still tha main problem. If he doesn’t show improvement over the first 5-7 games back I’ll be more suspicious the injury is still the issue.

The latter 10 minutes of that period looked like 2020-21 Blues hockey
Great period by Binnington, his best in a long time!

The Blues did a decent job of fending off The Knights' pushback, and survived 3 penalties. Binnington has done a great job to keep them ahead. I hope they can go back on offence in The 3rd.

Binnington! 
What happened to Bortuzzo?
Also, I don't think it's a coincidence that we look as good as we do without Hoffman. There's someone else I can do without on this team.

Got out alive, no more long change tonight. Let’s go, put the pedal to the floor in the 3rd.
off topic: If he makes it to FA in the off season, Zach Hyman is a perfect player for us. Dude is doing everything this season and excelling in it all. Betting he stays in Toronto tho

Something has certainly clicked for him tonight!
Hoffman for Hyman?
Could that even be done or is it completely unrealistic?- Status
