In a lame attempt to strike a positive note here, I will point out that the Blues played last night in Detroit and then travelled back to St Louis afterwards. And they are rather banged up right now. So I am hoping fatigue and injuries take the edge off of their game. Playing a near last place team from a different conference might mean the Blues think it's safe to take their foot off the gas pedal. Which opponents like to take advantage of when the puck drops.

On the other hand, the Sabres are the opponents so all bets are off...

4 -1 St Louis

Lehner played as well as he can last night, but I'm surprised he's starting in back-to-back games.

Surely he's still gassed from that sprint to the bench.

If only he could get over to the other side of the net to cover the post on those wrap-arounds that quickly.

This is not normal, they are killing him slowly. No wonder he screens Lehner at the end, he's probably gassed as f*** by that point. Coaches need a wake up call and stop this stupidity that has been going on for too long instead of the PR team being essentially proud of that...

1090? Is it tax season already?
this was the beginning of a neighborly subliminal messaging campaign targeting people here in hopes that they might file their taxes early this year, but it looks like i've been found out
