HOW IN THE f***

 

[Louie the Blue]

oh my god dang it

 

[AjaxManifesto]

LOL

Hoffman is jinxed

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

yep missing dp57 sucks ... he might be gone the whole series

 

[Linkens Mastery]

That's was a great play by Hoffman, but a better one by Graves oh my God.

 

[TheDizee]

krug hit the post i think

 

[Fez Whatley]

4th lines been good

 

[izzy]

that was a damn good thought by hoffman, just barely got stopped

 

[ajhahn]

Ugh that warp around by Hoffman has to be on the back of the net. Way too casual by Hoffman after making the great read and move.

 

[Zezel’s Pretzels]

Man that was a solid 4th line shift. Give them some more time out there...

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

was a good play by graves

 

[Louie the Blue]

tbh the Blues last few looks have been good, but I'm getting concerned when they're in their own zone.

Avs are just dominating possession.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Can't win if you blow chances like that...

 

[DoubleK81]

Parayko needs to keep firing that puck, it either breaks someone, their stick, or maybe finds the net. All are acceptable options.

 

[izzy]

4th line killing it

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Magnus Paajarvi would've finished that wraparound

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

come on boys keep pushing

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I mean, Colorado is 'dominating' the injury/covid riddled Blues and its 1-0 and barely even that. A PPG on a soft call and an improbably save by Graves on Hoff with a Krug post to chase it....

I think a Blues team at full strength would win this series in 5.

Nailed it.

Hard to get going offensively is you spend too much time in your own end. We are losing board and stick battles in our own end.

 

[Robb_K]

Oh! Hoffman!!! Grubauer was sprawled and Hoffman skated around to the open side of the net for the wraparound, and hesitated slightly (because he thought he had it made) and that half a second was long enough for an Av to barely get his stick on it to keep it out! The Blues have been snakebitten!!! They need a lucky break.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

dont play soft

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Avs guy lifted Schenn's stick

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Toews already bailing from contact, let's add to that list by the end of the night

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

there you go ... nice hit schenner

 

[izzy]

graves lifts schenns stick and moves his own head down

then whines
