Lol St Louis so lucky right now. Avs hitting posts left and right and they get a fluke own goal.

The only hope I have for the Blues anymore is that they make HF Avs lose their shit. Seems to be working today.

Really like the Blues unis, looks sharp

Sorry we're not used to losing a period of hockey. BTW Cale Makar is the only defenseman in the league that's over a point per game right now. He's going to have a 100 point season in his career.

Ryan O’ Reilly is a beast. Wish we still had him!

Did Pierre say earlier on live tv that he thinks the Blues should fire Berube??

I did a double take. I only caught the end of the comment. Was he quoting someone else? Did he say the wrong word? That was bizarre

I dont doubt it. I can't wait to see what you guys are up to during the Vegas series this year. Should be pretty spicy.

Dream is to have Minnesota take out Vegas and avoid them altogether.

Honestly, I wouldn't even be upset if we lost this game. Entertaining game with the Blues getting a decent amount of puck luck, if the Avs were getting severely outplayed then that would be a cause of concern.

Even if they were getting severely outplayed, that happens with the best teams at some point, doesn’t matter as much in the broader context of their last 12 or so games


It’s not like the Blues are even an awful team normally, they’ve had more adversity than most and not every team will respond the same. They’re still plenty capable of winning more than they have this season next season. Maybe it’s just injuries, maybe it’s coaching and a change will fire them up, I don’t think they’re the best team in the league but I think they’re better than we’ve seen this year

Took Pierre a while to start the college/junior hockey namedropping

I'll never get why players can flat out slide tackle others with their legs but do it with your stick and it's a trip

It should be a penalty, took away a prime scoring chance from Jost. It's a trip even in NHL 21 lol.

Avs off the bar in the dying seconds of the 1st period.

Just no defence whatsoever being played.

I would say it’s more about turnovers in transition than “no defense”.

Avs overconfident and or underestimating a good team that’s had a bad season, and they’re taking risky breakout plays and handing the puck over. When that happens, you scramble.

They need to relax and be responsible

That's a really big thing to guarantee. The last defenseman to do that was Brian Leetch in 91-92.

Yeah, I thought the same should have been a penalty on the Blues player there on Jost.

Some brutal turnovers by the Blues as well in their own zone, playing with fire doing that against a lethal Avs team.

Ya I don't see it happening either. If the Avs have an absolutely perfect season it may, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Pierre somehow finds a way to sing Adam Fox's praises in a game where his team is not even playing.

 

[CupInSIX]

This is the first time I've noticed Hoffman this year.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

6 posts for Colorado man oh man

Even rangers fans have heard enough of Adam Fox to complain when he’s mentioned
(I assume rangers?)

 

[Mikeshane]

Holy crap that first O'Reilly Goal was amazing.

Roasts MacKinnon, Roasts Makar then Gets Toews to finish into his own net.

Bravo!

 

[Muffin]

St Louis is the sloppiest team in their own zone I've watched and that includes the California teams.

Yeah, I like us getting some positive press and some people still don't think he's a #1 defenseman so maybe it's needed but Pierre's man crush on him is hilarious and a little creepy.

not too concerned missing Rantanen, Calvert, Grubauer, LOC, Byram. It's more second hand embarrassment for the Blues than "losing our shit"

 

[Muffin]

That's definitely a Kadri call, no way they call that on anyone else in the league.
