from Dan O’Neill of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
The Blues are saddled with a 5-9-2 mark at home, a stat that is deceptively good. As mentioned, one of those “home” wins was a 5-3 victory over the Red Wings in Sweden. Moreover, the Blues’ stagnant offense has been even more impaired at home. The Blues have just 33 goals in those 16 “home” games, or 28 goals in 15 games at Scottrade, less than two goals a game.
“I don’t know, I don’t know why it is,” said forward T.J. Oshie. “Maybe guys get a little too comfortable at home ... I don’t know. But we have to do something about it. We have to turn it around.”
There was no time like the present on Monday, what with Dave Checketts in the house. The last time the chairman was in town, his hockey team lost at home to Nashville and Checketts responded by addressing the boys with a “not good enough” speech. The Monday Night Meltdown might have left him speechless.
