Tomorrow is gonna be huge.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Let’s not have this defeated attitude. The Canucks lost in OT. A win tomorrow and it’s 3-1 in the series. Have some belief.

 

[RussianRacket]

Live by the Hughes, die by the Hughes. Kid had no business going in deep into the opposing end on a non-rush like that.

Not concerned. Kids will learn both how to lose and how to win in the playoffs.

We are the better team.

 

[Svencouver]

Well, we were never going to go 16-0 in the playoffs. Don't forget where we are and what our expectations were going into this. This was never going to be easy, especially with this first round matchup, and this team still has a lot of room left to grow.

 

[skuzzycuzz]

Brick Boeser is barely an NHL player hockey IQ wise.

 

[Regal]

Not too upset by the game. You knew the Blues had to win this and they would come out hard. Canucks still battled hard and continued to do a good job getting bodies and sticks on pucks when possible. Biggest takeaway for me was that the Canucks hung with them 5v5 in OT after getting heavily outplayed the rest of the games, so I can see them staying confident for tomorrow's game.

 

[ferroid]

Just want to re-iterate that the play died almost every time it got to Boeser.

 

[Grub]

Tyler Motte with 24 minutes of Icetime...

Don't give me the PP crap.. we only got 2 PP....

How does this even happen? No wonder we lost. He had more icetime then JT Miller and Pettersson.

If you want to blame anyone... blame the coach.

 

[TruKnyte]

Blues in 6, calling it now. Hope I’m wrong, but after following this shitshow of a team for so long that’s what my gut tells me.

 

[I am toxic]

Your goaltender was as good as ours.

 

[Soups On]

Our first line barely played in OT... to much Motte... i mean wtf are we doing trying to hold a lead..

Lololol that's classic Green for you.

It should've been a cycling of the first and second line with Sutter's line taking some D zone draws and the Motte line with spare usage. Green rides and dies with his bottom 6 vets :/

Blues continue to get away with interference and tripping. When the refs put the whistles away, it favours that team heavily. Call the Virtanen penalty, call the trips and interference plays on Pearson and Eriksson for what was pretty much the entire OT.

 

[mossey3535]

I know he's a good story and all, but Stetcher hasn't been good for 1.5 seasons. Like the thing he needs to be able to do as an undersized, mobile d-man above everything is be able to cover for that. Everyone knows Quinn can gallop and you have to be aware of it.

Also still haven't figured who didn't rotate for Quinn on that one. ​

 

[alicia]

I’m not concerned, there was no way we were going to sweep them.
Come back tomorrow and battle hard.

 

[datboichoi]

Tough break, bounce back tomorrow.

Simple.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I don’t want to hear how Myers is bad and Stecher is underrated ever again

 

[TruKnyte]

Tomorrow is gonna be huge.

tonight was huge, and we blew it

 

[Bgav]

Motte with more ice time than our Franchise forward lol

 

[Flik]

Give the Blues props, they simply kicked our asses tonight. We had no business taking this to OT.

 

[Pip]

Is Roussel hurt or just benched?

 

[thenextone]

Brick Boeser is barely an NHL player hockey IQ wise.

agreed. He makes just crazy bad plays with the puck. All he should do is be given a pass and shoot. He has no ability to breakout or pass

 

[MikeK]

Tough one tonight because I felt it was there for us to take. I din't like Green's bench management tonight.
Virtanen should be out for game 4. He was bad tonight. Almost useless and in a playoff game you cannot have bus riders.

 

[I am toxic]

And did anyone mention all 3 STL goals at 5v5?

Who.

Could.

Have.

Known.

 

[604]

Well, we give props to Horvat when he's good, should have been covering for Hughes on the OT winner as he was the F3 into the zone when Hughes was already deep.

 

[David71]

should there be any lineup changes tommorow?

 

[datboichoi]

Tyler Motte with 24 minutes is Willie D level

 

[wonton15]

Edler Stecher was a tire fire tonight. Edler is clearly overplayed and Stecher is just not good. He is too small and sure he 'tries hard' but he's nothing but a bottom pairing guy at best.

Green needs to publicly call out these refs. Take the fine jesus that was disgusting.
