On Monday, they bested the defending Stanley Cup champions — that’s right, Stan Kroenke’s hockey team — by a score of 3-2. So yeah, it’s been a pretty good 48 hours for the Blues. They have now won three in a row, and with each victory that ugly eight-game losing streak is more firmly in the rear-view mirror. With most of the players’ mothers on hand for the team’s first-ever moms trip, the Blues improved to 6-8-0 for the season although they still remain in last place in the Central Division. Colorado, which had its four-game winning streak snapped, fell to 8-5-1. Timing is everything in hockey, and the Blues caught the Avalanche missing seven injured players, including mainstays Gabriel Landeskog, Valeri Nichuskin, Sam Girard, Darren Helm and Bowen Byram. After the morning skate, coach Craig Berube said he thought the presence of about 20 moms might bring some good luck. “We’re gonna get it done,” Berube said. “We’re gonna get it done tonight. I have a good feeling.” Turns out he was right. The Blues did it by killing off 1:43 of a Colorado 5-on-3 power play — with 1:44 left in the game. [/QUOTE]
