Half-Assed GDT: sharx@bluz:winningstreakmatchup aka race for the playoffs

Kudos to Sobotka (honey badger). He lost that final face off, but attacked and pressed the Shark Dman against the boards, got possession of the puck, skated to the net, drew attention, and made a killer pass to Vladi. Impressive stuff in terms of heart, physicality, and skill. I hope he keeps this up.

Yep, get that trade value up

Great time last night at the game - the 'Rick Flair' Woo's were funny.

You really picked a great game to attend, one of their better home games this season. Glad you had a great time!

Dunn’s already a better defender than Shatty simply because of his mobility and defensive awareness. Kid is a gem.

He got back and broke up a couple plays where The Blues were outmanned. If Shattenkirk had been faced with a similar situation, a goal might have been scored (certainly a scoring chance would have occurred). He's much, much better on defence, and, I predict that he will be more effective than Shattenkirk even if only offence is considered, at his peak.

I personally hope we can keep this spot we are in right now. Would rather go out west and let the central punish one another.

I hope so too. But, I have a feeling that The Blues will pass Minnesota, just winning almost every game, to stay ahead of Colorado and The Ducks. Minnesota has a very tough schedule, and they've been very inconsistent lately. The Blues may have to continue playing like they are now, to get past Winnipeg in Series 1. At least, I can console myself that I'll win my bet with Ranksu that The Blues WILL finish ahead of The Stars.

Schenn and Tarasenko will hit 70pts. If not, 65+ for both is almost a certainty.

Schwartz will get 60 which is insane considering the injury.

They've been going crazy using those the last few games, i think one of the DJs from the Point is influencing a lot of music choices including using the Woooos. He plays a TON of wrestlers entrance music throughout every game. Being a big wrestling fan my buddy and I would always keep track of how many themes per game. He usually hit 4-5 different ones.

Was reminiscent of his time before he left KHL which made him such an effective NHL player.

I could see Reaves doing this at locker room.

All in all my family, and I had a fun trip to St.Louis - capped it off with a game that the crowd was really into.

My only beef was the crappy weather (especially on the way down thru Illinois - cars/semis in the ditch), but I'd gladly trade it for an entertaining game anytime!

Now I gotta find me a recipe on making my own 'toasted ravioli'

the weather has been miserable here for the past 10 days or so

I figured it was a subtle way of promoting the WWE raw event I keep seeing advertised throughout the game. I like it though, gets crowd involved.

Schwartz was still scoring at a PPG pace until last nights game. At 1 under, it's possible he'll finish the season over a PPG.

Being a native 'Cheesehead' - I'm used to shi**y weather, but driving down, and having snow/rain in Missouri sorta dampened our spirits since we were hoping for 60 F, and sunny (my last trip for a Blues game 10 plus years ago had wonderful spring like weather).

Guess I'm spoiled...But at least the game was great...Can't ask for much more.

From a Red Wing fan - I'm hoping the Blues do some damage in the Western Conference...You guys deserve a Cup appearance.

snow? What’s that? Haven’t seen snow here STL in several years.

I stand corrected...Just south of Rockford all the way to Springfield (Illinois) was that belt of crappy wet snow/freezing rain.

Dozens of cars/trucks/semis were off the road causing delays.

Just rain in St.Louis which I can live with

We haven't had any huge snow storms, but we've had plenty of snow the past few years.

We got about 2 inches of snow 2 weeks ago.

Going to be moving to Rochester, MN in summer 2019. So I’m looking forward to seeing snow on a regular basis again. It has snowed 3 times in the past 15 years here and only 1 did the snow stay on the ground for more than 48 hours.

And people still say "Global Warming" isn't happening!

Just a warm summer day in Lapland!

 

[Mike Liut]

I bought a snow blower 3 years ago and haven’t been able to use it yet. I guess thats a good thing because I hate snow. (STL)

Well I do live in Southeast Alabama. Where a single snowflake can shutdown an entire city. I’m just not a hot weather person. From beginning of May to end of September, the sub-tropics summer rears it’s hot and humid face. I’d much rather deal with snow and winters steadily in the -10 to 0 degrees Celsius than weeks of heat index’s in the 38-43 degrees Celsius range.
