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

Regardless of the outcome here, I think it’s safe to say the Blues aren’t going to sleepwalk their way out of the 1st round. This team looks ready to fight. They’d look a lot more dangerous with the 4th line in the game. But there is enough here to expect to win this series.

Read something interesting from JR today about Berube saying that Allen would play this postseason. There is an argument for giving him one of the starts on the back-to-back games. I remember Brian had quoted some data showing teams had better results with a rested back-up rather than starting the starter both nights.

That line is consistently our best. Seems like a misnomer that people still call Schenn line our #1 line.
I really think we have two first lines. There are times when Schenn and Schwartz carry the show. Then we have a good third line with Thomas.

Strongly disagree. Other than rhe play leading to the powerplay(i dont even think the powerplay goal was that bad on the team as binny probably saves that more often than not) i think our defense has looked fine and not really given up much in dangerous chances.

We didnt exactly look like an offensive juggernaut but we outshot them and registered 12 shots already in the first period when we couldnt even get 18 shots in a game during the round robin games.

Well, I agree that they played somewhat better in the first 15 minutes of The 1st Period, but they still had slow legs, and were chasing the play a lot. That's why they gave up the first 2 penalties. They had more SOG than The Canucks during that time, but most of them were on plays that had no chance of scoring. But, they played MUCH, MUCH better during The 2nd. Let's hope they improve again in The 3rd.
