Payback with a Hat-Trick

Tonight I was lucky enough to have gone to the best Blues game so far this season! WOW, what a game. All of the built up frustration was finally released tonight with a whopping 6-1 over the Canucks.


First and for most, give it up for David Perron (DP), getting his first hat-trick of his NHL career. What a night to remember. But as we all know, this Blues team has never been about one guy. Our go to guys that many people have been expecting a lot from, stepped it up tonight: Boyes, with a goal and three assists; McDonald with a goal and two assists; Johnson with a goal and a couple assists, and of course DP with the hat-trick.  All around great team effort and great hockey!

Not letting go of that playoff sweep the Canucks pulled on us last year, Janssen and Crombeen got into a couple brawls each tonight.  Some people are totally against fighting in hockey and it has been debated and debated on if it should be apart of hockey...Why the hell not?  This gets our players and the fans going.  You might not think it, but a good fist to cuffs is sometimes just what the team needs to step it up a level.

Way to go on the penalty kill, Blues! We are proving to the league that you're going to need a little more than a five on four advantage to score on our PK team. A job well done.

Lastly, I think this is just what the doctor ordered for the Blues. Motivation is a huge factor for this month. We have eight home games in the month of November.  The next four games are at Scottrade as well, and you can bet that with this huge victory over Vancouver, the Blues are going to be very tough to beat at home. 

Alright guys, ya got the goals behind you, ya got the fans behind you, so lets do some damage during this home stretch and get back into the battle.
