Hah. You’re a sick man

I'm heading over to the Blues forum now to cheer them up.

Any messages people want me to pass along?

Only 1 game but our #3 d man came out strong.

Our captain that is supposed to get eaten alive was #1 star.

Would like to see a little more getting the puck out instead of allowing the Blues to keep in the their end.

Yup. Myers played well. I noticed Stecher played over 15 minutes. I think Minny actually played a heavier game in our zone than St. Louis did, which allowed the coaches to play Stecher more.

We’ll never win any games with Horvat as C.

these soft Canadians, you will never win a cup with a bloody Canadian

I didn’t think we played our best game. We won, which is nice, but we can play better, especially 5 on 5.
St. Louis will play better next game, but so will we.

On the negative we took some brutal hits and chops all night that will add up. Tyler Myers was just awful and i dont even blame him for yet another awful dive on his penalty and the turnover along the boards where Virtanen (who was brain dead all night) skated away from him with his back to the play. Ugly ugly game. Absolutely infuriating effort from Virtanen who should thrive in a series like this or at least be one that's punishing the Blues and making us tougher to play against. Wake up man. Also thought Loui was mostly an anchor for Pearson and Bo 5v5 but at least he was decent defensively and trying. Petey is so light and weak looking he's getting killed. Still an absolute elite skilled player and was so close to a couple more goals. Tanev had a tough go screening Marky and losing an edge after fumbling the blueline on Schwartz's goal.

...

I wanted to point this out, as it seems to get lost in the chatter - Hughes tried that stick-push assist on Tanev to try to get him to catch up to Schwartz, but this time it didn't work and ended up knocking him off balance.

I am mystified by Petterssons emerging style of falling down literally every single time he does anything. He even fell down on his goal today. It's like watching some sort of eccentric lost martial art I cant comprehend, like a drunken master.

He's the Hasek of forwards

When your goalie outduels the other goalie, you’ve always got a chance.
