Fun fact - Boston went 5-1 against another STL team, the St. Louis Eagles, during the 1934-35, their only season in the NHL.

With Sarah’s connection to STL, I figured it would be a good day to focus on the opponent. Great picture above.

It’s gonna be tough with the way we’re playing and St. Louis only losing 3 at home this season. It’ll be nice to see Sobotka once again though.

now, now. they’ve lost more than that at home, just not in regulation

But they’ve also fired their coach 13 games into the season. In the hitchcock era, they’re 23-2-4 at home. Those home losses are:

November:
10th: 2-3 (SO) to Toronto
22nd: 2-3 to LA
December:
3rd: 2-5 to Chicago (last home regulation loss)
30th: 1-2 (SO) to Nashville
January:
12th: 2-3 (OT) to Vancouver
24th: 2-3 (SO) to Pittsburgh

what I’m saying is they’re due.

If the Blues win tonight, they’ll have won every home game in February. This cannot stand.

They’re due to lose, we’re due to win. But it’s all doo-doo ‘til the final buzzer sounds. The Blues have taken four OT/SO losses at home, but in my old school book, those are essentially ties, with the bonus point. The one positive, if we do go to SO, they’re only 2-6.
