I hope my increase in price for my tickets produces more scoring.
I'm reminded of a great (likely apocryphal) story about former Cardinal Pedro Guerrero. When he was with Dodgers and playing 3rd base (very poorly) a journalist asked him what he was thinking out there at 3rd base.Honest question, what do you think is going through Jake's mind during a game?

"Please don't hit the ball to me," he replied.
"That is terrible," said the journalist. "You have to be thinking something else out there."
"Please don't hit the ball to Sax."
Outshot the Jets 42-25
My takeaways from the game:
1. Arena renovations look nice.
2. The “Kid” 4th Line and TOM (Tarasenko, O’Reilly, Maroon) line looked great.
3. Allen looked solid
4. Perron didn’t take any offensive zone penalty.
Overall minus the score, the team looked good minus a few kinks. Hellebuyck had a hell of a game, and honestly I think if we had scored on one of those two early posts or didn’t give up the SH breakaway we aren’t looking a 5-1 loss tonight.
Rant of the night: The fans that sarcastically cheered Allen in the 3rd, that’s classless and I hope you don’t come back to a game. You don’t have to like Allen but come on you have a deflection off Parayko, breakaway, and a 2 on 0 essentially from the Blue line on the first three goals. This game is not solely on his head.
What did you expect him to do? score goals? He pretty much held the fort for three goals.
The fans, like most of us, want Allen replaced. For his time to the Blues to be over. Gone. Finito. El finished-o.
Oh, and about the Power play.
Expecting Mike Yeo to coach a working powerplay is like expecting Jake Allen to be consistent.
Expecting Mike Yeo to coach a working powerplay is like expecting modesty from Donald Trump.
Expecting Mike Yeo to coach a working powerplay is like expecting Robby Fabbri to stay healthy
Expecting Mike Yeo to coach a working powerplay is like expecting to lose weight on a steak and shake diet.
There are other teams out there for you. No disrespect.
Hi Jake Allen.
The fans, like most of us, want Allen replaced. For his time to the Blues to be over. Gone. Finito. El finished-o.
I would ask for your autograph but I don’t want to send you into a mid season mental breakdown where you gotta be sent home for a week.
What is patience, right?
It’s never too soon to be worried when it comes to Jake The Snake Allen.
Do I think Allen is the best goalie? No.
But we shouldn't actively be cheering for him to fail so we can replace him either.
I'm on board with Ville Husso taking over the starting role, but I'm ok with the plan of giving him one last year in the AHL first. Like I said Allen isn't the best goalie ever, but you can not hang his head tonight. Look objectively at how the goals were scored.
Hey, good Morning. How was the game?
Was there any soft goals? How did Butler and what about Maroon does he have complete 2-way game for 1st line winger?

Good morning!Hey, good Morning. How was the game?

Anyway, Jake needs to find this magic again.
Also, to help lighten the mood a little bit.
lirlGood morning!
My suggestion is to go back to bed.
Season starts Saturday.
its all mental with jake, kind of obvious.Talent has never been Jake's problem. Nor has any athlete that I can think of overcome this problem.
Allen was just interviewed. He blamed the loss on QT’s chili cheese dogs and Steak n Shake screwing up his order in the drive through.
