Tough loss there. You seem to be playing around the 500 mark, not bad for such a young team.

3-3 isn't a bad start for the Blues, and nice to see some T.J. Oshie heroics early on (even though most St. Louis fans suck his pole).

Nice to see the team plus Stewart and Shattenkirk (even though the ladder has gotten injured).

It is bad, just need to play better defense to win some more. Oshie has been good, but Stewart by far has been my best player with McDonald on his tail.

Losing Shatty hurt but it is only for 2 weeks.

More games will be posted soon

Conks Strong in Season Debut, but Blues Fall to Pens in a Shootout

Game Notes
- Coach Davis Payne said the Blues will be going back to starter Jaroslav Halak in Nashville on Thursday but he is not hesitant to yank Halak and give Conks another start
- There is a very good possibility that Kevin Shattenkirk could be back Thursday after missing just 2 games with a sprained left ankle.

I'd say Conks deserves another start after that strong performance.
