Yeah he did, the paddle save was ridiculous. Steen was robbed of a goal as well, it worked out in the end.StL Dan wrote:Ells made two huge saves in the 3rd period to preserve the regulation tie.

Re: 2013-2014 Blues (Hockey) Season
I'm afraid our lack of offense could hurt us from making a run in the playoffs. I realize we are near the top in goals scored, but our offense has really gone in the pooper in the second half.
Would be nice to see Tarasenko get back to being a force.

Tarasenk - Schwartz - Berglund led the NHL in points last week with 12 points as a line. It hasn't looked beautiful since the break, but we haven't really had an easy game since coming back either. Canucks (pre-meltdown) - Ducks - Coyotes - Lightning - Predators - Avalanche - Wild - Stars. Except the Canucks, all playoff teams, and we went 5-2-1.Secret Weapon wrote:I'm afraid our lack of offense could hurt us from making a run in the playoffs.

The two he gave up in regulation were kinda weak though.JackofDiamonds wrote:Yeah he did, the paddle save was ridiculous. Steen was robbed of a goal as well, it worked out in the end.StL Dan wrote:Ells made two huge saves in the 3rd period to preserve the regulation tie.

Re: 2013-2014 Blues (Hockey) Season
We've scored 2 goals per game in those 8 games since the break. Over the course of the season they have scored 3.27 goals/game, but over the past 22 games they've only scored 2.18 goals/game. That probably won't cut it in the playoffs.JackofDiamonds wrote:Tarasenk - Schwartz - Berglund led the NHL in points last week with 12 points as a line.

BTW the Canucks lost 7 in a row before we played them, then 4 in a row after they beat us, so I'd say we were right in the middle of the meltdown.

Obviously we aren't in a meltdown, just saying as a team who has failed to score goals in the playoffs the past couple years, this significant decrease in goals late in the year is a little worrisome.

The last time the St Louis Blues scored 6 Goals or more 9 times in a season before this year was 1992-93 (12).
