Some ugly transition play going both ways there.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

nice play marco

 

[Blanick]

Great back check by Bozie

 

[simon IC]

Scandella really battling. Good to see.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Great play by Faulk followed by an awful play by Faulk followed by a great play by Faulk

That about sums up his season.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Great play by Faulk followed by an awful play by Faulk followed by a great play by Faulk

Fun little roller coaster

 

[mk80]

ROR beating Hughes for an icing isn't something I thought I'd see

ROR took him to hockey school. The lesson: race for an icing call

 

[BlueDream]

Keep it 5-5 and I like our chances

Same. Vancouver isn’t that scary aside from their PP and Pettersson’s shot. Man that kid is good.

 

[simon IC]

Great play by Faulk followed by an awful play by Faulk followed by a great play by Faulk

Yup. Pretty much sums him up.

 

[TheDizee]

good effort tonight. its pretty clear and like I said earlier. Refcouver is a pure PP team. stay out of box and keep dictating the play.

 

[Nederlander]

If we can keep this 5 on 5, I like our chances. Blues controlling play at even strength.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Great play by Faulk followed by an awful play by Faulk followed by a great play by Faulk

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

The body language of the teams going down the tunnels was shocking. Blues are all “ho hum, another day in the office “ and the Canucks looked tired and frustrated.

 

[Mike Liut]

Keep this 5 on 5 and I like our chances. I think the Blues will get better each game too. Those round robin games were just conditioning stints

 

[mw2noobbuster]

When Marco Scandella is breaking ankles that's when you know it's been a great game.

 

[Celtic Note]

Marco had a hell of a shift there.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I’d like to see the Blues shut this down and make the Canucks play the Blues’ game for the 3rd period. Win in a way that saps their will and deflates their confidence.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Marco had a hell of a shift there.

It still bums me out that he’s only here cuz JBO is out, but man he’s been great

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Lol, Jaden Shorts.

 

[mk80]

The Canucks are a good team, they've certainly got their offensive threats. But they're not the better team! Let's Go Blues! Show them how a Stanley Cup Champion plays the 3rd period!

Nice drive on goal by Scandella! Love to see it. Faulk was playing better, and then, under NO pressure at all, lacadasically made a pass directly to a Canuck, where there were NO Blues within 15 feet. He was lucky when the Canuck came right back up ice on Faulk's side, but fumbled the puck right to Faulk. So what did Faulk do with the puck and open ice ALL the way to the back boards on his side??? He nervously iced the puck. No one in his way ALL the way up ice well into the O-Zone, and no one near him, and he gives up the puck to the other team. Just when he teases us with sometimes making good, solid plays.

The jury is still out on this guy. I'd like to not need to dump him off in the expansion draft. But he continues to be that guy. Surely, The Blues will want to protect Perron.

There are days when you're a lot more House than Wilson.

This is what I have been saying Robb. He frequently does the opposite of what makes sense. He skates the puck with no room and aimlessly flails the puck up ice when he has plenty of time and space. It’s like the dyslexia of reading plays.

I know this is a reference to some TV medical drama I’ve never seen. But I appreciate it.
