Blackhawks vs. Blues game thread: Part 1

The Blackhawks are set to take on Division rivals St. Louis today in an afternoon showdown. It's a big game for both teams, as the Blues have been rolling lately, and the Blackhawks haven't. The 'Hawks are hoping to ride the momentum of Friday's OT win against the Winnipeg Jets into this one, so hopefully they will be able to do so.

Here's the first gamethread of the day.
