Biggest game of the series, biggest game of the year, biggest game since 2019, and this mighty Blues offense disappeared in plain sight.
Nine 20-goal scorers. We got early stages of carpel tunnel by furiously typing praise about these guys. Yet in Game 4 of the Blues-Avalanche series, Jordan Kyrou didn’t get off a shot. Neither did Robert Thomas or Ivan Barbashev. Vladimir Tarasenko had just one. The Blues netted just one even-strength goal in the 6-3 loss.
And perhaps the most-disgusting of the statistics came from NaturalStatTrick.com, which measured the quality of shots. The visiting Avs had 30 scoring chances, while the home team had nine. Just nine times. And in regards to high-danger chances, the Avs had nine ... and the Blues had three.
