St. Louis Blues vs Tampa Bay Lightning - Game 6 Recap

Blues Drop 2nd in a Row - Fall to 2-2 on Road trip
Goals: Tarasenko (4)
Record 4-2-0

My thoughts on tonight's game
  • If Tarasenko's shot in 1st period goes in instead of hitting the crossbar, it could have been a different game.
  • Seems like everything we shot went high. If scouting reports on Tampa goalie were "shoot high" surely we could have adjusted and shot lower at some point in the game. 
  • We didn't seem to get many shots in front of the net.  It seemed to me like we had a lot of sharp angle shots from the edges. Other teams seem to get more shots in the slot and in front of the net than we are right now. 
  • Penalty kill was good until we allowed one late in the 3rd. 
  • Ref missed a call on delay of game in 3rd period which would have given us a power play for a minute or so.
  • Blais had a knack of being in a good spot several times and had some legit chances for a goal or two in his first NHL game. I think he will be good.
  • We've got so many good, young prospects.  It's an exciting time to be a Blues fan.
  • Tampa did a good job of keeping us on the edges and out of the middle for the most part of the game.
  • Looked like we turned the puck over a lot in the neutral zone. Jake Allen made reference to that in his post game interview as well.
  • Dunn is looking better with every game.
