[Portland Blues]

Yes. Killed it and drew a penalty.

[Robb_K]

Great save by Binnington on that breakaway!!! Keeps the 2-goal lead! And they draw a penalty, too!

[Portland Blues]

Shame they couldn't score on that PP to end the period. Entering the 3rd with that dreaded 2 goal lead.

[Robb_K]

Good 2nd Period by The Blues after the fluke goal. And they start off he 3rd with 37 seconds of power play. It'll be nice if they can score right away. Scandella, Kyrou and Thomas have looked good again. But, I don'y\t like The Blues having so much trouble getting onto and off the ice on line changes. Not only are they picking up way too many "too many men" penalties, but they also deserve one many other times when it just isn't called. That is something that can be fixed. It's just a matter of the players paying more attention, and the players coming off the bench being a little less in a hurry.

[Portland Blues]

YES!!! Shorty.

[glen a richter]

Try to convince me Sundqvist isn’t the most important player on this team.

The "Straw that stirs the drink."

[Robb_K]

Barbashev grabs the puck after Sundqvist's banging it loose, and skates towards the goal and buries the shorty!!!! Blues lead 4-1!!!!

Damn straight! That whole slump thing only happened because Sunny was out.

[Robb_K]

Binnington has been great all night!

[Portland Blues]

Yeah...not sure I'm fully on board with the announcers talking about how stoked we are with Faulk.

[Portland Blues]

Do we still get free tacos if we score 5?

[Portland Blues]

Solid win.

[Robb_K]

Blues win! They're on the right track. Great dominating game, giving up only a fluke goal. Back home to St. Louis, to play the hated Hawks on Tuesday.

[Robb_K]

Yeah...not sure I'm fully on board with the announcers talking about how stoked we are with Faulk.

The quote would make more sense switching Faulk for Scandella. I think Pietrangelo and The Blues will come to an agreement on a contract that'll keep him in St. Louis the rest of his career, and, as a result, The Blues will make a deal with Seattle in which they agree to choose Faulk.

As things look at the moment that would certainly be the best possible outcome.

[WaukeeBlues]

This team is so frustrating... they go from SO bad to SO good... ugh.

Oh well, great win, the boys look awesome.

Scandella has fit in seamlessly, Army making us all look dumb for the moment.

[theohall]

When the Blues had that bad streak, the PK was awful and Sunny is the straw that stirs that particular drink so well.

[theohall]

When Pee Air was bragging about the Blues scouting staff bringing in Scandella, he never even mentioned Van Ryn coaching him in the AHL, which is kind of a large omission since he was bragging about Van Ryn's coaching just before that came up.
