Bizarro World: Boxing with Blackhawks and Blues
(Chris Lee, McClatchy-Tribune)
Our power play wasn’t good. We couldn’t settle the puck down, we couldn’t make a pass and they were forechecking us hard. We didn’t deserve to win. It just wasn’t good enough. – Marian Hossa
So, that’s the world we live in now, eh? The St. Louis Blues are the front-runners for the President’s Trophy down the stretch of the season. Not since Joel Quenneville manned the bench in 1999-2000 have the Blues been this good in the regular season.
With that said, Tuesday night’s 5-1 loss was another recipe for disaster: Shitty power play, shitty penalty kill, outplayed in net and out-muscled throughout. This crap is looking all too familiar.
Hopefully Jonathan Toews will be back Friday and he can kick everyone in the ass a bit, but this game just didn’t seem to be anything more than “blah.” The Blues are flat out the better team, and it pains me to say it.
I don’t have the energy for more. There simply isn’t much to analyze that hasn’t been said already. The Blackhawks have trouble entering the zone on the power play and leaving their own zone, well, always. The play in net is spotty at best. Special teams all around is pretty much a Disney on Ice. I’m not going to beat you down with it.
I’ll get into a bit more here in the summary of Boxing, but I left the actual box score for you to take a look at and decide for yourself what you’d like to analyze. Go ahead and throw in your own thoughts in the comments…

Blues have a well-run team. The ice time for all four lines of the Blues is more like what we should see for the hawks. I also think it was Hossa’s worst game. That’s all I am saying.
there were some positives. Let me refrain that, after looking under a myriad of rocks, there were some positives. First and foremost, the Blues will be taking us too lightly next tuesday. Second, I liked the way Olsen knocked McDonald down after the gaol and the chain reaction of him going down at the behest of Backes and then Razor knocking backes down. Sheeeiiittt, that's hockey. As bad as we played, if sharp scores and Kruger 's goal actually counted, we might have been able to escape with a point. Was it just me, or did Nichols get away with a wicked slash just prior to strippping Hossa of the puck. I also thought Stalberg got slashed on his breakaway in the first. Hossa had a terrible game - but the good thing about that is he'll rebound
Let me rephrase that
