Jason Millen: Blues try to extend point streak to 5, Backes back after a healthy scratch Blues try to extend point streak to 5, Backes back after a healthy scratch

Agreed on Kyrou. Very interested to see how he'll do with the way ROR-Perron have been playing.

Wow we are getting killed. Allen playing great so far. Looks at times like we belong here, like we can hang with a top team. Then they put it into another gear a take over for spurts.


Sloppy passing so far. Too many odd man chances against. Pick it up boys. Show you belong here.

It's January and it's Allen.

Petro getting confused on coverage. Petro stay with the back door guy, don't chase the puck.

I thought Allen looked pretty good. We got outskated in the third period by a team who played last night. Bruins went up 3-2 and there was about a 5 minute stretch after that where we had nothing going the other way before Marchand got the insurance goal. Pretty embarrassing. The boys wanted to end that road trip one period early.

We definitely looked like the tired team in third.

Schwartz needs a confidence boost. He had to take that shot on the two on one with Tarasenko. That backhand behind the back crap was horrible.

He looked good early but he gave up a clunker and albeit Petro left coverage on back door I just think he should have stopped two of the goals. I'm not saying he was horrible, just that sometimes you need a player to be great. I thought the goaltender at the other end made a number of big saves. Sometimes the goalie needs to be the best player.

I'd trade Tarasenko for Mark Stone. Since Tarasenko has term I'd want a tad more, but Tarasenko floundering a bit I'd be ok getting Stone if the Blues could also sign him.

I'd ask first for the rights to negotiate. Then if it's a sign and trade, okay. Cannot trade a premier scorer under contract for a Ufa. Tarasenko has had a bad year, coming off surgery. If he DID ask for a trade then trade him. If not he will regain his scoring touch and be a premier goal scorer again
