Beautiful view

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Huge game

Blues D is banged up BIG TIME.

This is where our "depth of scoring" pays dividends or it fails to do its job.

This thread has been reposted in Stanley Cup Playoffs group. Not sure how Wild fans are going to feel about the Schenn gif at the bottom. HAHA!

Tough titties.

That's what those morons get for chirping a goalie after an empty-netter.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

A little adversity never hurt anyone. Blues W incoming tonight.

You know that they were chirping him for the entire rest of the period about his play the entire game, right? That chant was zero percent "that specific goal was your fault" and 100% "this loss is your fault, you should feel bad about it and we want to remind you of that for the plane ride back to St. Louis."

I really hope you’re right. 3/6 defensemen scare the hell out of me

Looks like Mexico

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Yeah but we’ll be able to shelter their minutes easier at home.

 

[BlueDream]

Tonight's lineup:

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Scandella is a gametime decision now.

 

[BlueDream]

Scandella is a gametime decision now.

And even though Bortuzzo and Leddy are out, Berube said they are "feeling better".

I'm thinking we really need to pull out a gritty win tonight and then maybe we'll get some reinforcements back for game 4.

 

[Reality Czech]

Tonight's lineup:

If that's the lineup then Faulk and/or Colt might end up playing 30+ minutes.

 

[ort]

Words I never expected to say/type...

Man, I really hope Scandella can play tonight.

 

[Celtic Note]

Our D men will need to stay out of the box tonight. Everyone does really, but D especially.

 

[WeWentBlues]

Have Leddy and Bortuzzo officially been ruled out?

 

[Ginger Papa]

Looking forward to hearing your Home Crowd bring the Energy tonight

O



Yes, your D Group is beat up, but I still think your Boys have plenty of fight in them

Here’s hoping your Boys can give the Wild a good old

Maybe they’ll lose their composure and hurt themselves

And fall down in spectacular fashion

Go Go

 

[Louie the Blue]

Have Leddy and Bortuzzo officially been ruled out?

Yes.



Mikkola out if Scandella plays, Santini in regardless:

 

[Brian39]

Have Leddy and Bortuzzo officially been ruled out?

 

[TheOrganist]

We are not exactly setup like the Hawks were in 2015 when they played Keith/Seabrook/Hjalmarsson/Oduya 30 minutes every game. Need to get lucky tonight and get some bodies back. Husso needs to play lights out.

 

[GoBluz24]

Blues really need to win this game. I saw a stat that in a 1-1 series, the team that wins game 3 wins the series like 67% of the time.

 

[Brian39]

Blues really need to win this game. I saw a stat that in a 1-1 series, the team that wins game 3 wins the series like 67% of the time.

Which is (amusingly) worse odds than the chance of getting "heads" at least twice over 4 coin flips (69%).

 

[Allens Five Hole]

Blues really need to win this game. I saw a stat that in a 1-1 series, the team that wins game 3 wins the series like 67% of the time.

I honestly would have expected that percentage to be higher than that considering all of the 3-0 series leads that would be a part of that stat.
