Un freekin' believable. This is some sort of joke giving up about 10 more than normal, and only creating 8 at even strength. This teams needs a massive wake up call. 24 against could 'maybe' be excused cause their 2 best puck possession d-men are injured (Tanev/Bieksa). But only creating 8 scoring chances at even strength is un-excusable.

The Kesler - Roy experiment should be over. Though Roy got a goal and assist, his underlying #'s are better in the centre position.

Ebbett got absolutely mauled and as a result, we didn't get to see Kassian do much with the puck. Raymond didn't help the cause either.

I think the lines need to be unjuggled and put back to where they were. Kassian is a much better player when he consistently gets shifts, and he plays better with better players.

This just in: StL is a good team. Esp. at defense. They are sold in the Hitch method and they have to do something THIS season due to all their expensive rfas comin' up.

Getting very few scoring chances against them tonight should not be a surprise. Inexcusable? Yeah, right.

What we're going to find is that our top-6 STILL isn't tough enough to go all the way. Esp. with the injuries.

It's these games that expose the weaknesses that we have forgotten about while we were facing crap teams.

However, StL isn't unbeatable by any stretch.

I think the top 2 lines actually played OK. Held their own & generated some push back.

The third line was horrible. Hitchcock was matching lines & kept getting very favorable matchups vs Ebbets line. Ebbet has looked serviceable at times this year but tonight he looked like a tackling dummy. Not fast enough to get out of the way & not strong enough to not get knocked over.

Kesler/Roy looked good last night, but vs a physical team Ebbet really shouldn't be the 3C.
