The Blues played a pretty solid game to go toe to toe with the nucks.
-Elliot kept them in there all night. He looked really good and calm and made a couple gamechanging saves. So far this year it looks like he may of stole the starting gig for now.
-Backes is just dominant out there. He is so hard to knock off the puck and has an amazing shot. He is continuing to be one of the more consistent forwards for the Blues. Something that they have needed all year.
-Oshie played a decent game and looks to be really gelling with Backes. Its funny how some people freak out and ask why guys like him and Backes have put up no points all year and then they have a night like tonight.
-Shatty had a really strong game. IMO he had his best night for the games ive watched this year. He has amazing poise with the puck for a kid and he has a cannon of a shot. He should start putting up some good numbers right away if he keeps playing like that.
-Steen has been by far the best player for the Blues night in and out. I wish he would get a chance with Backes and Oshie. I think that could be a very dominating line.
