If STL had anything that resembled a transition game you’re probably looking at 30 shots, maybe. The amount of mishandling of the puck by STL that occurred without being pressured by Buffalo, was downright silly and an insult to anybody appreciating good hockey.
Chalk up another “played good enough to win but didn’t” loss
Its the only thing these guys do consistently.
Actually two things they do consistently. Follow up the rare good game with another loss to cancel it out straight away.
Onto the shit kicking L where they look terrible. Followed up by the W where they almost blow it.

UPL is like my golf game.
One amazing hole followed by 17 either shitty or average holes.

UPL is a land of contrasts.
UPL got hung out to dry by the skaters a number of times, leading to 3 goals he really didn’t have a chance on.
UPL made a few outstanding saves.
UPL let in 3 pretty stinky goals that he probably should have saved.
The skaters created a ton of offense and failed to finish on at least 3 glorious wide open nets.

Feels like they should’ve had a much better result tonight. At some points it felt like there was a force bubble around a yawning cage that we couldn’t penetrate.
At the other end it felt like everything went in. We could’ve had no joke 9 goals tonight. They send Levi down and UPL immediately imploded. Gotta say I am really disappointed.

The game confirmed it once again... this team as it is currently set up isn`t going anywhere. This franchise spin in circles without noticing.
Now everything is analyzed nicely again, then you might win the next game with a bit of luck and then lose again because the basics don't work

Binnington was mostly excellent (can't stand the prick). UPL was occasionally dreadful, and the gaffes from the rest of the team were inexcusable.
That's how you lose a game while outshooting the opponent 45-20.
Add Tage and Quinn to the mix. Fine tune the lines and pairings. Clean up the bonehead plays. And I like this team's chances.
That last item is broken-record material, but absolutely critical at this point in the season.
Maybe Don has done all he's capable of doing, and it's time for a different staff to get them sorted out. We've all talked about it for weeks.
I'll wager there are unemployed NHL coaches, with winning records, just drooling at getting a chance with this team.

That goal where UPL went for a walk into the corner was just terrible. Not a goal that should ever happen in the NHL. If I were a forward and that went in I would feel demoralized. Like every mistake will end up in the net.

With this team, it's a guarantee they'll lose another one like that this season.

If the Blues had played any other team tonight except the Sharts they would've lost (and probably quite badly).

People need to be realistic when it comes to Quinn.. he isn't going to.come back and be a savior. It could take until next season before he is feeling normal ..if ever.

St Louis played an awful game tonight and still won. Says more about us.

Going to spend the rest of the night listening to this massive Norm blue card joke compilation in an attempt to cheer up:

How hard is it to not get scored against in the first 2 minutes?
I blame the coach for most of this mess.
Why? Because there is coaches out there with a lot less talent and doing a lot better than this clown show on the bench.

They have to be the most consistently unprepared, unengaged team in the league this year.

I have such a hard time figuring out who to blame with this group. Every position, every line, every pairing have their Jekyll and Hyde games.
Easy answer is blame goaltending last night when UPL gives up 6 goals in an otherwise pretty dominant performance... but then UPL will steal a game or two that no one else decided to show up to. It's exhausting as someone who wants to think about some kinda solution to the problem.

11-7 works for this team because they don't have 12 quality forwards. Gives flexibility if a D is off. Stay 500 until Tage and Quinn return.
