Recap: 12-29-09: Blues vs. Predators
Hello Blues fans, sorry for the delay…sadly we’ve been down this road already. Early lead lost on home ice. However, losing the lead in the first period, that is a little new. I think there are some trends to this game we can look at to see what went wrong. The Nashville Defensemen Nashville was...
