Vancouver at St. Louis

Everything was going well for Vancouver last season, and then this team took a deep dive and never recovered. They opened the season vindicating last year's finsih with three wins, but all of a sudden they have dropped two straight, and neither were close as they have been outscored 10-5 in the pair of losses. This team has shown little backbone when facing adversity, and they are in a tough spot here on the road vs. St. Louis. The Blues have been imressive in their two wins as they have come by a combined score of 10-2, and have been competitive in their losses. The one constant has been the defense as they have allowed just 9 goals on the season. The offense should find some openings tonight against a Vancouver team that must have that de ja vu feeling from a year ago, when everything unraveld, and the 10 goals they have allowed in their last two games is cause for concern. Back the home team Blues.
