Literally no one wants to see a slumping team play disinterested hockey, and with injuries mounting, there was a chance that the Blues could’ve gone in that direction last night against the Sharks.
That didn’t happen, but the direction they went in was probably even more unexpected.
The final score, a 7-6 Blues win, doesn’t tell the entire story of the gong show on ice that happened last night in San Jose. The affair was defense optional, and goaltending questionable, especially in the third period. No one can accuse either team of not trying, though trying to do what is up for debate.
