What is the number one key to tonight’s game?
Stay the hell out of the penalty box.
Number two?
Don’t let the Avalanche double you up in shots.
Monday night’s 4-1 loss to the Avalanche was an avoidable rough start to a playoff series that the Blues are already considered the underdogs in. After surviving the first period, and tying the game in the second on a Jordan Kyrou goal, the Blues allowed three goals in the third period. To say that they took their foot off of the gas is underselling the apathy.
