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.
