VHL scores
	Saint Louis	2
	Montreal	2

Saint-Louis Mississouri - This was the second meeting between the Montreal Canadiens and the Blue Machine this season. Canadiens is one of the bothom roster of the league and most of the time you have an easy win against them, Blues were missing two key players Pavel Bure, Pekka Rinne and Darcy Tucker so it was not easy to score goals and this was a tie game. The Blue machine made some changed to their roster, Canadiens shut us down and this is what you have to do when you meet the Blues if you want to keep the score close or win.
