On Saturday night at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, you’d figure something had to give. Fourteen goals from the St. Louis blue line before they encountered Toronto. Eleven of 24 St. Louis shots through 40 minutes came from the defence, two of them ending up behind Andersen. Three unanswered goals in the second period, which has been a sucking vortex for the Leafs — minus-7 on the middle ledger before the Blues added to that column. They shifted from generally poised — notwithstanding three straight shifts where they scarcely penetrated the offensive zone, successfully smothering a couple of St. Louis power plays, and at a middling-to-poor league No.
