CDSF: (1) St. Louis Blues vs. (WC1) Minnesota Wild - Part II (Series 3-2 MIN)

OHHH BABY, WHAT A SAVE! I miss Ken Wilson, but Kerbs is great as well

I agree with Ken Wilson, he was great and all my childhood Blues memories were his calls. But I can not Stand the "Thank you,Thank you, Thank you" call its has to be the worst in the league. I guess Im turning into a cranky old man in my early thirties.

Nope I'm right there with ya, Blues made a big mistake letting Wilson go.

These fan bases are so bipolar. After game 3 everyone was saying Wild will win the series and blues fans had their doom faces on. Now after game 4 it's completely flipped, though I haven't seen as many Wild fans with doom faces on. We all know the Wild will not repeat their performance from game 4. It doesn't get much worse. Dubnyk should have been pulled after his 3rd goal. #FireYeo

This is going to be me at work tomorrow all day before the game.

I think the Blues have a good chance to win the series in 6.

They sure do. Just as much of a chance as the Wild.

Probably just taking after their teams..

Team scores first goal, opposing team goes into the fetal position. What's wrong with these teams? Lol

I didn't expect 6-1 so I have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow...

I think that if the Wild win this series, it's in 7. I don't see them winning both games 5 and 6. I think that the Blues could take the next two games, but I can definitely see this going 7 and coming down to the wire.

How's a game 7 overtime sound? There hasn't been a single OT game in this series thus far. It would be amazing if the first 6 games were regulation wins/losses and game 7 goes to double or triple OT. As much as my heart would hate it, my eyes would love it. St. Louis hasn't seen a game 7 in over a decade.

Every game has been a surprise in one way or another, so who knows what will happen. Expect the unexpected in this series!

I miss Ken Wilson so much. John Kelly has grown on me but I still think Wilson was much better. He had a knack for sensing what was going to happen and adjusting his intensity accordingly.

Posts like this make this forum worth reading. I just love how after each game the winning team's fans somehow think their team has suddenly found the formula and there is nothing the opposing team can do to stop them.

It's W, L, W, L (or for the Blues L, W, L, W) with the two most recent games being total domination and yet the series was over after each. LMAO

You Blues fans are cracking me up (not you specifically DB) how it was time to start the rebuild after game three and you're unbeatable after game four!! I don't know how you people survive this emotional rollercoaster!!

Get bounced in the first twice in a row and that'll have an effect on a fanbase. The Blues are capable of playing every game like last night. The reason they don't is seemingly between the ears of some key players. It is incredibly frustrating sometimes, pretty easy to see why blues fans are so reactionary.

I don't think there are a lot of Blues fans who think their team is unbeatable. There were seemingly LOTS of Wild fans that thought theirs was unbeatable. Things balance out.

Just got tickets for game 5 tomorrow.

LGB!

Hey, I got tickets for game 5 lastnight! Will be driving down there in the morning!

There is no home ice advantage for STL if they try to win in 6.

Regarding the bolded, I call BS. I appreciate that the Blues are an extremely talented team, but games like last night happen in this modern parity infused NHL only when there is a willing opponent. There is simply no way they can dictate that type of game at will and that is exactly the type of comment that has me so entertained each post season.

Link? These two fan bases have been surprisingly even keeled when it comes to boastfulness IMO. There has been plenty "the sky is falling" going on, and the occasional "We got this" after a win, but the former far outnumber the latter.

There was maybe 2 Wild fans posting that they thought the series was over after game 3, but like 50 Wild fans telling them to calm down and look at this realistically. The Blues are far too talented to think the Wild could continue to dominate as they did in Game 3. Apparently the Wild players thought it was going to be easy, and thus laid the egg they did lastnight as a result. Thus the Blues did to the Wild in game 4, what the Wild did in game 3... only with shaky goaltending to go with it.

Have a safe trip and enjoy your time in STL.

Enjoy it to the point that your team loses of course

The Wild had a bad game, especially Dubnyk. That's why the Blues dictated the play nearly all game. However, if the Wild were playing on par I still think the Blues would have taken that game, although it probably would have been closer. We have little control over how good the other team plays, but we have complete control over our game. And we can play the way we did last night, every game.

Last night wasn't us being hot or having a really good game; that's the "normal" Blues, a team we haven't seen in a while.

The scary part is, this is not the best that we've seen from them.

So let me get this straight, that was the normal Blues that you haven't seen in a while? Me thinks you should review the definition of normal!!

I know, it's almost hard to believe.

We were horrible in March. In April, we saw flashes of the normal team, but we never really had a complete game and didn't stay consistent. Elliott had been playing terrible and it was rubbing off on the rest of the team. We started coming out of it in the last 6 games or so of the regular season as we switched over to Allen, but we still weren't back in our groove, not to mention we didn't have Steen or Tarasenko.

Game 2 I think was the first time in a while that I saw a complete performance from the Blues. Game 4 was the same. What you saw in those two games is what is expected from them. That's what we should always be like, which is why we say that we can play like that every game. Those games were our norm.

There is no home ice advantage for STL if they try to win in 6.

I actually was thinking about this...

if MIN wins next game... they have big Mr. Bean-like advantage to close out at home
if STL wins next game... it is likely they lose in MIN and come home for game 7
if THIS is going nowhere.. it is

The problem with the wild is that they don't have Patrik Berglund, IMO (they also lack panger FWIW)

It'll be fun experiencing the playoffs in the road building for a change. Even better if we win of course...

what section are you in? I'll try and get tickets near you so we can heckle each other and i'll buy you a beer nacho

 

[mnhowitzer]

It's a new day. Hitting the airport for a flight to Sin City and hunkering down to watch the game somewhere. I expect tonight is going to be a slugfest...2-1, 3-2 toss up...both teams had their poop games now it's time to grind it out.

Let's go Wild!

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Massive game tonight. Time to make home ice count again.

LETS GO BLUUUUUUUUUES
