In the home opener, the Blues fall 3-2 in overtime to the Sharks, and Real Blue’s hosts are left wondering about the details. The first period looked promising, with McTavish and McMichael continuing to click and Dylan Dubé scoring a short-handed goal, but things slipped away after that. Eric, Lance and Nathan walk through each of the Sharks’ goals, including a rookie-style mistake from Adam Jiricek, a breakdown after a power play, and the overtime winner by Darnell Nurse. They also argue that the Blues have no business playing three-on-three with this roster.
The conversation widens from there to the state of the first line, the power play, and whether the Blues have anyone to help them out of this. The hosts get fired up about the “scheduled loss” excuse they’ve heard after the Colorado game, and they wonder whether a lottery pick is in the cards. Colton Parayko’s new games-played record prompts a trivia challenge on the franchise’s top ten, and the hosts end with predictions for Columbus.
