Cats beat Blues 5-3, David Booth has first hat trick...since November

Lots to do tomorrow, so off to hit the hay. But an insane game by Boothie during Tomas Vokoun's 500th game in the NHL. D-Vo was on fire as well. The entire team was buzzing, keeping their composure when St. Louis deserved extra attention. This was not a cake-walk...the Blues needed these potential two points. David Backes poured it on with two goals - a career high.

Only one David could triumph, and it was The Assassin.

Want to say "thank you" to the good folks at St. Louis Game Time, SBNation's Blues blog. I was treated well and fed like any other POW as the Geneva Convention stipulates.

Full Box coverage in the A.M. Thanks for coming out! Go Cats.
