Blues 3 Predators 6

Now this was a frustrating game. You play terrible, and then in the last 4 minutes net one to get within a goal...and proceed to give up yet another goal 40 seconds later. The Blues hadn't played horrible defense like this in over a month, but we just cannot play well against Nashville. We seem to refuse to play well against them. As Bernie Miklasz said, " The Blues made so many mistakes on defense, and let so many Predators get free, I thought I was at a Rams game. "

Ouch.

It didn't help that Sanford was a little leaky as well.

The only bright point was that Columbus was able to knock off Minnesota last night, which keeps the Blues 8 points back. The Wild come into St. Louis, so hopefully the Blues can bounce back with a big game when they really need it. This is an old fashioned 4 point game. It is enough to make one long for the old Norris division.
