Blues 4 Bluejackets 3 (SO)

Well, it has been a long time since the following could have been said about a Blues victory: (From the PD)

But perhaps for the first time this season, the Blues won a game they didn't necessarily deserve.



The truth of the matter is that good teams have ways of winning such games. The Blues were good enough consistently that I took it for granted there would be a certain number of these over the course of the season. Ever since the lockout ended, however, if the Blues were a step slow (like they were last week in the first game against the Blackhawks) they lost. So this is encouraging. I'll admit it is a baby step (Columbus has had their own difficulties) but I cannot complain about the direction.

Hey! Let's hear it for Lee Stempniak's seven game point streak!
