It's very unfortunate when you play as hard as what the Blues did last night, and in the midst of battling, two goals go in the net by means of ricochet or your own teammates stick. But hey, that's the NHL and you can never count on luck. The Blues should know this more than any other team in the league now. It's hard to take away positive things from shutouts, but this time we actually SCORED! So players and fans, don't feel so bad. Sure, we didn't win, BUT we now have something positive we can use. Speaking of scoring, maybe we should bring up a guy from Peoria every game, hmm? With Eller scoring his first goal last night, this would be the second time this year we brought up a guy from Peoria and in their first night playing, scored a goal. Stastny, having his first goal of the season against Carolina, was the other Rivermen.
What Would Bernie Do?
I am a little depressed after this home stretch for the Blues. However, I believe that things are about to change for the better. Last night was the first time I saw, in a while, the Blues starting to shoot with more creativity. Their passes were better, they played with more awareness, and Oshie's determination is nothing but contagious. Watch out Philadelphia and don't expect to (fly) away with this one. LET'S GO BLUES!
