For the first 25-30 minutes of this game I could have sworn the Blues were playing the Minnesota Wild in another boring ass trap game.  Alas, I checked the NHL website and it showed that the Blues played the Sharks tonight.  In the first period, the were 6 power plays and only 9 total shots on goal.  That tells me two things. 1.
