Good luck blues fans !

Jets join a few other teams which fell by the adage "its not where you finish, it's how you finish". Blues just out-played them badly this game but Hellebruyck kept them in to the finish. The final score was not indicative of the play. So Jets, Tampa, Calgary and likely 2 of Nashville, San Jose and Boston fall by the way-side.

I look forward to Dallas beating St Louis and making them look like a joke.

Why would you want that? If Blues win the cup, at least you could say "Well, at least Jets lost to the cup winner". If Blues look like a joke, what people will say "Blues are really really bad and Jets still lost to them? Imagine how bad they must be!". I don't get the logic in wishing ill to the team that you lost to.

Handshakes Jets fans. Good series and most of you here have been really cool. Good luck next season.

 

[Jetcetera]

It was a hell of a series, this could have been the other way fairly easily. The Jets lost, show some class like your team is going to in defeat.

Better hope you can score more goals while holding the glove of the opposing goalie or you wont go much further

Proud of the Blues. They deserved it more and outplayed the Jets.

Good on you. The right team won this series.

They outplayed the Jets in exactly one game this series. If you’re being honest the Jets outplayed the Blues in game 3.

yikes so many melties

Good Job Blues.

Thanks! Hoping your Sharks win tomorrow

In your honest opinion, would you agree with my assessment that Hellebuyck was (at least slightly) the better goalie? I know SV% would say so but that stat means bupkis in 7 games.

Blues hockey when they are playing their game doesn’t need the best goalie to win games. We just need solid, consistent goaltending. We made Elliott and Halak look good when they were here, when we imposed our game on other teams! Binnington has consistently been good enough for us to win critical games to let us make the playoffs and is now good enough for us to win playoff games.

 

[bring back the jets]

Thorough and convincing beatdown in this series.

I disagree. St Louise didn't win by more than a goal once. It was a good series, and the Blues were better, but you clearly didn't watch or just don't like the Jets.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Winnipeg played pretty well until this game, and even looked like the better team at times. They put up a fight, but Blues were better. I think Maurice has to go, the players looked lost under him during the season and he couldn't get things together when it counted.

I hope the Blues go far, they have a very likable team

That's a very good take, I'm inclined to agree greatly with. After all, your team's weak spot has been goaltending for a long time. You don't need a great goalie, even "decent and steady" should be more than enough. As you proved in this series, now that you seem to have it.

Handshake to the cool Jets Fans! You guys have one hell of a team and a great hockey city. Hope you all jump on our bandwagon!

Congrats Blues fans! The way you salvaged your season was amazing, wish we didn't have to be the casualties but I hope you go far.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Damn good series Jets fans. Very intense and tightly fought to the end. You guys have a very good team

 

[Total Bender]

Building a team around a player like Laine is dangerous. He's garbage.

 

[Spectra]

Ugh, this is a very unfortunate development. No matter, it ends in round 2.

 

[snowkiddin]

Good luck to the Blues. Jets should be embarrassed, never seen a team lack so much urgency in a playoff game.

 

[AwesomeSince86]

Yeah because that's why we won the series. The better team is moving on. Suck it up and take it like a man.

Life sometimes sucks. And sometimes it isn't fair. Deal with it and overcome, or lay down and cry about it.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

What an unfortunate decision Maurice made in the first 23 seconds of the game. He most likely would have won the "other" one.

Next up hopefully..... a good old Norris rivalry match up.... it could actually be an all-Norris final. Man that division had some pretty dominating years.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Now it would've been 2-2.

Pretty sure the blues took the foot off the gas. But hey. Maybe if the jets put as much effort in the first 2 and half periods as they did in the last 8 minutes maybe it would have been different

 

[Roughneck1]

Blues were the better team. Plain and simple. Cheers to the classy Blue's fans. Enjoy the run.

 

[Veneficus]

Great series, glad my liver has a few days off. Jets are a good team and no game was easy as a blues fan.

 

[Mike Liut]

No no no.

Read this article about it: Gloria! The story behind the Blues new (old) postgame victory song

TLDR: Couple of Blues players were watching the NFL playoffs at a bar, they heard the song Gloria play and someone kept saying play Gloria there. Players made it the victory song after Ws just before the 11 game win streak. Been the victory song since.

The real story happened at a strip club.

GG Blues fans, best of luck in round 2.
