Not a great showing by the boyz last night. Even more evidence that Elliott belongs between the pipes. Can't say Halak lost that game by himself but he did his best to make sure they weren't coming back from a goal down...

What a contrast between a top tier, Cup-winning goalie, in Quick and what were hoping could be ... Halak. If Elliott doesn't see this opening and seize it, we may be screwed in the playoffs. That game had the feel of a playoff game and the Blues played, well, like they have in the last two playoffs. Lots of cycling around the boards and little action in the passing lanes and in front of the net.

They have a few months to figure it out. I trust Hitch will get them on track. If only they had a good Captain to lead them in games like this....
