Blues 3 Red Wings 2 (SO)

This was a frustrating game to listen to. The Blues came out flying, trying to put the debacle in Minneapolis out of their mind. Goals from Tomas Mojzis and Brad Boyes gave us a 2-0 lead early. But you knew the comeback was gonna come hard. The Blues are not a team that will put you away, even when they have you down.

TO be fair, it is hard to say the Blues deserved two points today. Bacashihua stood on his head for two periods and turned away 40 of 42 shots. Basically it was forty minutes of the Red Wings announcers saying "Tremendous save by Bacashihua!" over and over again.

There was some controversy about the last two shots in the shootout. Weight's eventually counted and Cleary's eventually didn't. The Wings announcers take was they were probably both in, but on replays you can see Weight's puck in the net and you never see Cleary's in the net. I haven't seen the replay so i don't know.

I'll take the win, especially over Detroit. Actually, this gives the Blues the win in the season series 4-3-1. That is always nice to hear.
