Your St Louis Blues just went and did it again
Man, did the St. Louis Blues make a statement out in Anaheim last night, putting the smackdown on the Ducks with a 6-2 win. If you fell asleep after the first period, well, you missed a whole lot of good stuff. Robert Thomas got us on the board early, followed by a power-play goal from Denver Holloway. But the Ducks pushed back, tying it up with goals from Ryan Poehling and Jakob Viel. Then, just when you thought it was gonna be one of those nights, Jonatan Berggren slipped one in late in the first to give us the lead heading into the intermission, which was a huge momentum swing. From there, it was all St. Louis.
The second period was where the Blues really took over. Kevin Suter added another one for us early, and then Colton Parayko — yeah, *that* Colton Parayko — blasted one from the point, making it 5-2. You could practically hear the collective sigh of relief from Gravois to Granite City. The boys were firing on all cylinders, outshooting the Anaheim Ducks 29-27 in the end, which is more balanced than the score suggests, but when you put six in the net, who's counting? Denver Holloway then sealed the deal with his second power-play goal of the night in the third, showing that special teams are really clicking. That line with Thomas, Holloway, and Broberg was just electric.
This win is huge, folks. It pushes the St. Louis Blues' record to 32-31-12, keeping us at Wildcard #5 with 76 points. We're still chasing, but going 6-2-2 in our last ten games? That's the kind of hockey that makes you believe something special is brewing, kinda like that perfect batch of toasted ravioli. We've got a little streak going, and with the playoffs still a longshot, every single point matters. This morning, St. Louis feels a bit lighter, a bit more hopeful. It’s a good day to be a Blues fan.
And if you know, you know — Play Gloria.
