Hitchcock changed some lines around and apparently also defensive pairings for this game. Great effect that had.

Yeah, Stastny's been lighting it up with Schwartz and Tarasenko so far.

As silly as that is, I think the worse thing is Lehtera with Berglund and Jaskin. Those two are never where he thinks they're going to be, and I actually saw Lehtera push Jaskin down once because they collided.

I imagine there is going to be a lot of yelling in the Blues dressing room.

Maybe Antoine's really good at rally speeches. I don;'t know how to explain this more than timing, speed, puck luck and mistakes.

Another dickless powerplay that Blues needed to score on to have any chance. Get Jay Bouwmeester the gently caress off the powerplay, he brings absolutely nothing to the table for it.

Sometimes a team plays an exceptionally lovely period and there's really no explanation needed besides that.

While the Blues may be hitting their heads against some pretty average gap control, one peek at the team's GA's lets you know that pretty average gap control is still kind of notable!

Well I would say 3 goals on 8 shots is a bit of luck, even if 2 of them were no doubters.

I'm more impressed with the complete 200 foot game the Stars played. The Blues only had one quality look on net the entire period, and I'm pretty sure half their shots came from outside the blue line.

This kind of reminds me of the team last year, where the overall speed and aggressiveness of the systems Dallas plays can result in goals, but when the team is really going good and the defence is moving the puck it takes the form of a shut down defensive system where the opposition basically can't get a foothold in our end. We've seen no where near enough of that this season.

That's exactly what clicked around this time last year to grab that playoff spot, yeah. I mean, even Jordie is playing it okay.
