I wonder if it's just a focus on defense first and foremost because they have been so poor in that area. It is certainly dismal in the production on the offensive side but if you allow too many goals a game it translates to more losing. I have no idea just spit balling.
They sure as F don't appear concerned with adding any additional shots at this point. Every offensive "possession" is over as quickly as it begins. Man do I loathe this version of the St. Louis Blues.

This game likely ends with a 4-3 OT winner by the Knights after they pull their goalie and tie it up.
Called it woooo
WOW... that game was pretty fugly but hey you put shots at the net, scoring opps is what happens.

I'm just shocked the Knights didn't get a last-second scoring chance.

2026 is a BLUEs year! Yeeeehaw! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Happy New Year!

Gotta love it, total heart guy. Good to see Snuggerud with the big assist coming off a really rugged game in Colorado.

Wonder if they break with tradition and reward Hofer with the start tomorrow in the back to back. They are in the business of winning, right???

A home win in those jerseys?

What'd we wait 8 games for a home win to start the year? :lol:

Faulk is so pathetic on defense. Thankfully he’s pitching in on offense this year to help make up for his terrible giveaways.

He plays defense like Mailloux but this season he is creating offense

Id trade him no matter what if there is someone that will overpay! Find anyone that is capable of playing 20 min a night…can’t be hard to find someone a little bit better on defense

Indeed he was. Just watch the goal visualizer.

Faulk was god awful last season, but I didn't think his D had been anywhere near as bad this year. Let's hope today was the defensive aberration.

His -5 (after today) is relatively good when compared to this team's other Dmen. Only Broberg's +/- is better among all of the regulars and he's provided nowhere near the offense.

Faulk was never a "whipping boy." He was that bad the past 2 seasons. But sane fans (of which many here are not... lol) give credit where it's due.

Faulk's been the best player on the team all season.
What? He was absolutely a whipping boy, especially his first season here. Good lord did you ever listen to any of the post game call in shows?

wierd.. I watched it twice on FD (well, the 3rd period when I got home from work, then rewatched the whole game)

interesting game.. lots of slog in the middle on both sides

to those bashing Thomas..not sure what you're watching. dude plays hard both ways

nice to see Parayko smash that guy behind the net. more pls

Neighbors brings it all the time.. what a nice player

shots on goal low? yes. shot attempts? no. 47.. the exact same as Vegas. the boys are shootin.. just not getting enough thru or on net. keep shootin

nice to see em taking it to the crease and scoring in the dirty areas

Kyrou was very involved all game.. this is what's frustrating with him. he CAN do this

speaking of, he seems like a 'low' shooter, ie.. not a lot of lift to his shots. Buch is the same way. maybe needs to try a different curve on his blade. I used to bend mine a bit back on the top to get more lift. yes.. I put mine over the burner on the oven and shoved it under a door and bent mine. I'm old lol

need more 'ugly' wins like this

and def missing Petro.. there's no comfy places to sit without him out there
