Well, Thursday was ugly. 1-3 (8-11 YTD).
Played: Blues (-200), flyers (-160), Senators (-140), and Flames.
A little bit on St Louis. Elliott continues to give up too many rebounds. They D is still limiting shots but 2-3 chances is ridiculous to give up. Offensively, they are not creating anything. They have been out scored 11-2 last 2 games (and 16-5 last 3). They can't get into any sets, and when they do get a shot, there is no traffic in front and its one and done. There was zero intensity tonight, you would think after getting their ass handed to them by Nashville on Tuesday they would come out swinging. Detroit is not this good, and the Blues got beat to every loose puck. I don't understand how you come out flat, 2 games in a row, at home. Hitchcock shook up the 2nd and 3rd lines a little to start the game, but whatever. There is ZERO offense, they aren't gelling like the first 6 games this year. I don't know where this funk came from, but the next 3 home games are vs (Ducks-Kings-Sharks) they would be luck to go 1-2. So, with that said, I'm fading the Blues next 3 games. This funk that they are in doesn't look like a 48 hour fix, they may be falling fast.
