So much for hoping for 5 on 5 play

I do not think Bjugstad should get a penalty.

You and everyone not wearing a Blues jersey

[ClusterChuck]

We haven't had any O-Pressure yet.

[Alexandron]

It seems very physical game.  I think also they are a bigger team than our team.

Perfect spot to be in.

FIALA!!!!!!

Good save by Talbot.

[ClusterChuck]

Could've been much worse, I'll take this for the first.
Was Evason trying to pull something on that delay of game call?
Not a good idea in such important games.

[Alexandron]

It seems Spurgeon have got an arm injury when was blocking a shot at the end of period. Hopefully he is OK after the intermission.

We were able to place 11 shots vs their 12 during the 1st period.

Looks like he's seeing the puck well and neither goalie had a chance on the goals.
But we can't keep giving the Blues the red carpet to walk right in anymore. 

[Tomdog]

Walz made it sound like the correct players were on the ice.

Not sure if some jumped of before it became an icing, or what.

But as he said there usualy is a warning

The trick would be, how to stop them without a lame ass penalty call.

Hard to say. Probably we will find after the game in his(Evason) interview.

I will take this period too.

[Icechipper]

Taking St. Louis feed. 

[ClusterChuck]

Take away our 4 wins vs Chicago and our division record is pretty dismal.
I don't know why we struggle so much with these teams.

[Tomdog]

Maybe it's the familiarity from playing each other so much during covid

[Alexandron]

Huge save by Talbot.

Looked like our stick actually.

Kulikov's.

[ClusterChuck]

Crappy pace to this but at least we've got our good sticks back on D.

[Alexandron]

Middleton had a nice chance.
