OT would not have been where I expected the Blues to find their extra gear. But they certainly looked in control for the majority of the time. And a nice breakaway for Schenn, obviously.
Not to take anything away from Schenn, as he did a good job of watching what was going on in The Blues' Zone, and aware to grab the great stretch pass by Kyrou, and he did a good job scoring the goal. But, it was a lucky break that led to it. Schenn was late getting onto the ice on a slow line change by The Blues, and was still well behind the play, heading towards The Blues' Zone, to try and help out on defence. He was so far behind the last trailing Canuck, that he had a relatively easy time corraling the puck, and streaking towards The Canucks' goal, with no worries about a Canuck skater catching up.


But, a win is a win, and it was good that The Blues weren't gassed, and actually were skating with far more energy during the OT than were The Canucks.

A win is a win. We'll all take it gladly. And now The Blues can tie up the series tonight! :goblues:
