The Blues beat the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 at home, and Real Blue’s hosts lay out why it worked. Eric, Nathan, Lance and Matt single out Joel Hofer’s strong goaltending, a defense that locked in after a shaky start, and a Colton Parayko interception on a two-on-one. Philip Broberg’s game-winning power-play slapper makes him their pick as the player who willed this one into a win. Nathan makes a surprising claim about Robert Thomas’s night.
They also cover Justin Barron’s solid play and a power play that went 1-for-5. They discuss how the fourth line is holding up without Alexei Toropchenko and Ross Johnston, with Stenberg and Kaskimaki playing penalty-kill time. Nathan then makes a long case about Dvorsky and what the Blues could get for him, and the other hosts weigh in on whether he is more valuable to the Blues than to a trade partner. They also talk about Carlo’s value as a trade deadline target and make predictions for Vegas.
