After all, they weren’t around for the first game, Saturday in Las Vegas. But on the team’s first-ever Moms’ trip, they certainly did their part to help the team get past Colorado on Monday and now, Chicago on Wednesday. Between the food and the card games and the camaraderie, they watched the Blues stretch their winning streak to four games thanks to Wednesday’s 5-2 triumph over the Blackhawks at United Center. Little more than a week ago, things looked as bleak as they’ve been in years, with the Blues losing a franchise-record eighth consecutive game — and looking bad, very bad, in the process. But happy days are here again. Make no mistake, the Blues still have more work to do in order to dig out of their hole. But they are now 7-8-0 and could get back to sea level when they return home for Thursday’s contest with the Washington Capitals to complete this set of back-to-back games. In case you’re wondering, many of the Blues mothers are returning to St. Louis to take in games at Enterprise Center during the upcoming three-game homestand. [HEADING=1]Pond hockey[/HEADING] What the hockey world calls “pond hockey” broke out in the second period. In other words, lots of goals and not much defense. Over a stretch of 6 minutes 25 seconds, the teams combined for five goals — three by the Blues and two by the Blackhawks. There could have been twice that many scored in the period because both teams had tons of chances, in part because of some skilled work and determination, and in part because of some sloppy defense and bad passing.
