The team not folding after some bad early goals and Allen rebounded very well

Think the Schenn fight helped out. Even though it wasn't much of a fight

Goals were not that bad. 1st was a breakaway basically and the 2nd was because calvert moved his arm and stick but skating through the stick end.

Don't look up the games after the Friday win.

Will be going for their 1st 3 game win streak on Sunday

First goal was very savable and Allen made the shooter look great. Second goal, no. He should have had that. No excuse. Put your damn pad down, have your stick in a better place, know the situation better. Could have stopped both. Should've stopped at the least the 2nd.


He rebounded (surprisingly) very well and without that we might have lost.

Pad should have been down, yes but the stick was in the right spot until calvert hit and moved it and his arm. What you are also missing, perhaps if you haven't played goal, is that the unexpected shifting of your arm and shoulder turns your body and affects your weight distribution which screws up everything from both what you are used to doing and how you would do what you want to do.

I'd like to have seen him get the 1st goal as it was definitely saveable but it wasn't weak like the 1st Montreal goal.

Allen came back strong as hell. The first two goals were terrible




Never saw a penalty like that called before. Weird call


Great job ROR!!!


How the hell could you trade Parayko at this point. He is our top defenseman trade Petro if you are going to trade a dman.
- BluesDroogie

Parayko appears to more and more be answering the bell.

Read an aeticle that there three personalties in the dressing room that might be causing issues: Petro vs Steen and Tarasenko has rubbed everyone wrong as a selfish teammate.

If I trade from the core to fix the chemistry I am moving Tarasenko.

my brother was a goalie and me and him agree that he should have had that. if the guy is coming in front, have your stick in a different position. know where the knob is and if that is going to get caught. I saw the play and saw Allen kind of pushed back onto the goal line. still, no excuse. should have played it better knowing damn well you could have had the first goal. but he played great afterwards

Allen has been terrible on breakaways. He would be my favorite goalie to shoot on in a breakaway because he makes himself small and gives me a ton of net. So many options that it might confuse me to make a choice. But you see players make simple wristers towards the near side post. A good goalie forces me to go bar down where the puck bouncing, some bad ice, or the pressure put on me to be perfect is more difficult.

Legit: a shooter tutor would be more difficult to score on than Allen on a breakaway.

But he rebounded nicely after those two softies.

confused with how you worded that,

Petro vs Steen AND Tarasenko?

Petro vs Steen

Petro Vs Tarasenko

ROR seems like the worker type player that Blues fans are used to seeing. Last night, after winning the game, really no celebration, i like that. He acted like he had scored before. Barby on the other hand looks like a damn kid on christmas day every time he scores. i get it, he's happy, not nearly as bad as YAK, but still a little silly

Bergy suspended indefinitely for failure to report to team. Wow. What the hell is going on there?

Allen's breakaways need a lot of work still imho but the rest of his game is generally improved this year and that's coming from someone who seemed to have a rep from some of those on this site as being too hard on Allen.
