A few days ago, this part of the St. Louis road trip was supposed to have a much different tone. We were hoping they would have won in Anaheim and the players could have a fun trip to the city of Las Vegas with their fathers.

The health scare with Jay Bouwmeester during the first period of the game against the Anaheim Ducks was enough to make the hockey world stop for everyone involved with the Blues and even those not affiliated with the team.
