GDT Game 57: 2/16/19 | 2:00 PM CT | @ Avs | FSMW/KMOX

I thought Tarasenko would score on that open shot. He doesn't seem to "fool" goalies as much, anymore, as he did during his first 4-5 years.

[Robb_K]

Nice pinch in and possession keep in by Bortuzzo to continue this long flurry! He's played well today, too.

Two quick goals by Tarasenko and Sanford puts the Blues ahead 2-0!

[Robb_K]

Sanford pots a goal off of Sundqvist's shot!! Blues lead 2-0!!!

[Robb_K]

Blues on the power play again, after a nice drive by Schwartz! Let's get that 3-goal lead!!! 2 is nervous time.

[ComradeT]

Sorry I was too busy hyperventilating. What a quick 1-2 by the Blues. Avs are still buzzing and Edmundson keeps making mistakes on zone exits. Fortunately, that one didn't end up costing them.

[Robb_K]

The refs were letting The Avs hold like crazy on that Blues' power play.

With what the Avs got away with the game tied, not surprising they are getting all the help they need down two.

Including the third interference penalty.

Allen is seeing the shooters and the shots take off, today. Another great kill by The Blues!

[Robb_K]

Is it my imagination, or does JK always call Sanford, "Stanford"?

Super save by Allen!!! Great backcheck steal by Schwartz!

[gaijin]

Allen is playing well, making several tough saves.

[ComradeT]

Schwarz finally scores on an empty goal.

[Robb_K]

And Schwartz buries the empty-netter!!! 3-0!!!

[ComradeT]

Nine in a row. Who would have thought.

[gaijin]

Congrats to the Blues on 9 straight wins. Honestly, Jake Allen was great.

Bring on the Wild!

[Robb_K]

The Blues played an EXCELLENT game. They played hard, made few mistakes. They had loads of good chances. They could easily have won 7 or 8 to 0. Allen had his best game of the season. He's now above .900 Save %.

Blues have won 9 in a row, and Binnington will play tomorrow! Life is good!

Berube for Jack Adams!

Berube for Jack Adams!

If The Blues keep winning over a .650 pace, he'll win it for sure. I just hope he can get them at least to The Western Conference Finals. He'll probably get hired as head coach for next season (plus one more) if they win just one series.
