Believe it or not, the Carolina Hurricanes lost last night. The team with the best start in the NHL fell to the Philadelphia Flyers last night 2-1, giving the team just their second loss all season. The Blues also lost their last game, a 4-3 overtime loss against the Nashville Predators, who the Blues haven’t beaten since the Obama administration (at least it feels like it).
Neither team was particularly happy with their performance, but it was the Blues who blew a two-goal lead to the team whose backup was in net. The first period was all about capitalizing on chances but - stop me if you’ve heard this before - the second and third period they took their foot off of the gas and allowed Nashville to dictate the pace of play.
