Same here man. I still think they will take one of the games at home but that is about it.

That was embarrassing.

Holtby(sp?) was great for the Caps. Flyers threw everything they had at him and he stopped them time and again

Less than 2 minutes gone in the first period and the first fight in the Blues/Hawks game.

What a mentally challenged team.

It'll be a miracle if the Blues keep the rest of the series with a -5 goal differential.

When the other team gets all the man advantages that happens.

Tied up.

I'm sure someone was offside at one point on that score. Quennvile better review it.

This is already game 3 of the Blues series? Sheesh

Hitch has to go if the Blues lose this series. You can't keep failing every single year.

Just start a playoff thread already. It won't hurt you

Good for the Bloos.

Hope this holds up.

Nice road win.

Moose

Congrats Blues Fans! helluva game.

Great win today. Could have folded after Tim Peel picked up where Dan O'Rourke left off Friday night with the piss poor calls in the first period, but didn't.

They win the series after winning this -away- game

Need to get this playing at Scottrade:

It's awesome to see the one player who has been royally ****ed over by the FO and Hitch to performing well in the postseason.

Nice hard fought win, but did Reaves piss off Hitch or something? Ott shouldn't get that much more ice time then Reaves, Ott is gonna draw a horrible penalty before this series is done.

Clueless again

JFC

Again. If you think the Blues are going to win this series then I have some prime beachfront property in North Dakota that is just waiting for you to purchase.

The Blues have played amazing this series. Refs the only thing keep the Hawks in it.

You are clueless dude. Thought the Chiefs were a six win team too ROFL

Granted, I'm still skeptical of the Blues winning this series, but their play up to this point has been stellar. Elliott is playing amazing, the offense has a pulse for once, and Kane/Panarin are being kept in check.

No potential matchup for the Blues in the West scares me outside of Chicago. Blues can beat SJ, Anaheim, Nashville, Dallas,Minnesota(who will not make it past Round 1). Hell, I think they could beat LA in 7.

Yeah I don't like the playoff format, this should not be a 1st round series.

****ing bs tonight. Refs totally wanted to get the Islanders a playoff win Barclays. Considering every ****ing announcer had to talk about every 5 ****inn minutes. Bullshit ****ing phantom slashing calls on Florida. A defenseless jussi gets drilled into the boards and no call on New York. Cats should be up 3-0 instead they get hosed.

Your boys are in trouble new

Clutterbucks a ****ing bitch

Yea when you take away a potential 4 goal lead and then give the Islanders a 5 on 3 power play then yea. Other then that Florida is clearly the superior team.

But aside from the refs. reeruned ass move to keep Jagr out there so long. Blew he game for em but He's also 44 years old. God damnit I wish they had Trocheck out there with Smith

Well u are down 2 to 1 and the league is gonna give the big city teams an advantage. Is what it is. Some teams overcome it some don't.

Word. Trust me I get that being a Chiefs and Panthers fan LMAO

It's why pro sports can not barely be taken seriously. Commercialized BS.

Losing sleep was worth it, glad the Preds are coming home with a 2-0 lead, but the Ducks are very dangerous until you get all 4. Hope the Panthers can get the win tomorrow.

Kings, Ducks, Hawks eliminated early would be tasty.

Pens are back at it on Tuesday. Gota get this game 3 win. Hope Fleury can come back. Got Malkin back. Missed game 2 and I'm glad I did lol.

It's been a hallmark of less solvent leagues for years.

Anytime a league is struggling a bit, you can bank on its profit center teams getting every break in the books. The NBA was notorious for it back when the Lakers and Celtics were winning everything and the NHL has been just as bad since the lockout (and really even a little before that).

Replay just gives them another tool to inequitably enforce.

Sorry, but you're going to have to play 5 on 6 for most of the series. The Blues will have to do the same.

I didn't watch any of the Blues game on Sunday and while I hear I missed a good one, I'm sure my day was better for it. The league needs an enema or at least needs to hide its biases a little bit.

They had to overcome the refs again Sunday DJ. Twas sickening. They simply are not going to allow an even series. Probably six Hawk power plays to one Tuesday.

That all but does it for the Flyers. I wasn't expecting much from this series but that was bad.

If they win one game of the series I'll be surprised after the way they gave up tonight. Stick a fork in 'em.

I'm bummed that the Kings seem to be headed for an early exit :/. Their D has become too depleted to be the dominant defensive team they have been he last few years. Doughty is still amazing, but he can't do the job for all 6 defenseman.

As a side note, I was able to get my kids jersey into their locker room and get this lil guy signed up :)

Pens got game 3! That was gut wrenching. Nice playoff debut from Murray.

I'm ignoring the other Chicago-St. Louis series.

It's all about the ****ing Blues bitches. Tarasenko FTW

Nice job by Murray.
Zatkoff won one game, but he wasn't stealing the series.

Another missed call?

Blues/Hawks with a nice little brawl.

Corey Crawford acting like a massive bitch.

Fabbri did nothing wrong there.

LMAO @ the Blues getting the extra penalty.

Blues got boned there.

WTF Crawford attacks Fabbri and the Hawks get a PP? WTF?

This is ****ing biased bs

And of course, the Blackhawks capitalize.

That's ****ing embarrassing that Chicago had a PP after that.

Bettman and NBC get the perfect story line of the Hawks winning the series in six games back at the United Center.


Follow the money.

And your a Pittsburgh fan. Glad it's not just us looking from a Blues perspective.

WTF did Fabbri do wrong?

Tarasenko is so good.

Tarasenko says I got a handful of shit you can eat refs.

Buccigross was laughing at the NHL on Twitter and the Blackhawks beat writer (Lazarus) called it a 'travesty'.

Folks - I wasn't kidding. I'm not Pete, I don't complain about officials.

The NHL isn't financially solvent - it's a rigged league. If you can win 6 on 5 then you can advance but if you're playing Chicago and a few others, you're absolutely playing a man short the entire series.

ROFL I checked the official penalties and Fabbri actually got called for goalie interference.

Good for the Bloos.

4-2

Putting on a nice goal scoring exhibition in the 3rd.

Looked like a post whistle slash there.

Any doubt that the little two-handed slash there from Shaw after the whistle yields a penalty if it's a Blue?

That's just a remarkably stupid play by Shaw and had a Blue done it and been called, I'd have called him every foul name in the book. Shaw does it and the official just blows his whistle several times to break it up (so you know he saw it).

Had Parayko retaliated at all, it was Parayko going to the box.

Shaw going to box flipping double birds and calling the officials bundle of stickss. Well. Okay.

Aaaaaand the empty netter doesn't count because an actual offsides.

Shaw is a bundle of sticks.

Haha Andrew Shaw...what a ****ing POS clown.

Was that Kane going at Elliott at the horn too? Bunch of dirty ****s.

Oh well, 3-1. :-)

Andrew Shaw is now number 1 on my shit list.

I still won't feel confident until the clock reads 0:00 and the Blues win their 4th game. Because Blues.

Just got a look at that.

Holy hell, that's nutty. The dude just lost his goddamn mind. Dual double birds and then banging his stick on the glass long enough to get the officials attention so you can call him a ****ing bundle of sticks....impressive melt down.

Woot. Go Blues.

Yeah, he should be suspended for that...

As for his reaction to Steen at the end, apparently Steen speared him just before. Whatever.

Steen got him in the nads, good for Steen.

Let's see a freeway series!!!!!

Shaw has to be suspended, completely unacceptable. Not to mention his response to media was a crock of shit too.

Solid win for my Ducks last night, they finally tightened up the defense and Andersen was huge for us.

It appears they've gone into a rare man-defensive scheme to combat the Pred's forecheck.

I completely missed Brouwer cross-checking him in the head after the Hawks scored their first goal.

It was awesome.

Shaw has reached Matt Cooke levels. You get points towards heaven when you cause Andrew Shaw pain. I mean sure, it was dirty as hell and could've blown out the guy's knee....but it was Andrew Shaw so I'm cool with it.

They're a bunch of dirty ****s...that hit Ladd laid on Steen late in the 2nd was dirty as hell, seriously lucky Steen wasn't hurt bad.

Finish those ****s Bloos
