The Blues score seven goals in Ottawa, and Real Blue is there to recap a 7-2 win. Eric, Lance, Nathan and guest Matt take in a game that had three players with two goals, a big night for Pavel Buchnevich, and a first NHL game for Dylan Peterson that included a fight. They also talk about Adam Jiricek finally getting his first goal and about Jake Neighbours blocking a shot at the point late in the game. They single out Colton Parayko and Brandon Carlo as part of a defense that has been a pleasant surprise.
It isn’t all praise. The hosts still want changes on the power play and are critical of how the forwards defended in front of Joel Hofer, who played well. They look at how the Blues’ fourth line and physical play are changing the way the team looks. They then make predictions for the next game in Minnesota and wrap up with a movie pitch about Jordan Binnington’s rise to the Stanley Cup.
