Andy...there is NOTHING to figure out. This team is in the top 5 inthe league in every meaningful statistic. The difference in the gtame last night was Quick....period. The Blues played good enough to win, and given that same game on another night they would. LA has a good team.....the Blues are a good team. Sometimes you win 5-0, sometimes you lose 4-1.

As for your point about Elliot.....uh....there's not much more he can do. Why Hitchcock continues to throw Halak in there is lost on me. It's pretty clear who the #1 goalie should be.
