The St. Louis Blues dropped their sixth straight decision, a 4-3 shootout defeat on Thursday night against the Vancouver Canucks. The loss, despite the valiant effort, was a blackeye moment for the team.
But at the very least, the Blues managed to salvage a point. The defeat was akin to a boxer losing a bout by split decision. Yes, the loss is a loss, but at least it wasn’t a rout. The Blues had a chance to win.
Unfortunately, that opportunity to win was nearly robbed by a Vancouver goal late in the third period.
