St. Louis Blues vs New Jersey Devils - Game 16 Recap

Blues Continue Winning Ways Against Hot Devils Team
Goals: Tarasenko (8), Schwartz (9) and Schenn (4)
Record 12-3-1

My thoughts on tonight’s game

  • This Blues team is FOR REAL! They are a T-E-A-M. Vladi said a few games ago that they all play for each other and it’s evident. 
  • The top line produced all of the goals tonight, accounting for 3 goals and 4 assists, but every single player contributed. 
  • The forechecking and defense and puck possession are all strong and just good old fashioned Blues hockey. 
  • Allen was spectacular. He’s not getting enough credit for the improvement he has shown after Yeo took over last year. 
  • Third period was pedal to the floor. John Kelly said “the Blues owned the puck in the third period!” And they did. Blues outshot the Devils in the period 19-4!
  • The Devils were gassed in the third. Credit to Darren Pang who said to watch for that to happen in the pregame show after NJ was coming off a 3 game road trip.
  • It was good to see #91 score again. 
  • It was good to see #17 score again. 
  • It was good to see #10 score again, even if it was an empty netter.  He has been so unselfish and has provided so many assists and opportunities for the other guys on that line. He has 7 points in the last 2 games.
  • I like Schenn!
  • What has to happen before these refs will call a penalty shot? If they call tripping on a breakaway, how is that not a penalty shot? 
  • After first period and seeing Jersey clog the middle I feared another game like the Philly game but we made good adjustments. 
  • The youngsters for the Devils are fast. We did a good job keeping them outside after the first period. 
  • PP actually scored a goal!
  • PK was perfect.
