Benjamin Hochman: Blues goalie Husso not sharp in first start, but his team didn't do much to help him

At the end of the second period Sunday, the Blues finally did something right. Numerous skaters went right to goalie Ville Husso to tap his pads and, inevitably, apologize (and, sure, encourage).

Not sure what’s the Finnish translation of “hung out to dry,” but that’s what the Blues did to their rookie goalie, as the Blues trailed 5-1 after two.

We all wanted to see what the Blues have in Husso, and we still have to wait. A glance at the box score might make you think he stinks, but only two, possibly three of the five goals he allowed were the fault of the goalie. The final score was 6-3, Kings over the Blues, with the sixth goal an empty-netter.
