We shot ourselves in the foot with dumb turnovers.

But I agree. The interference penalty seemed to be selectively called on us when the Sharks do the same. I suspect it was a “make up call” which is an indictment of the poor state of refereeing. And the high stick non call? Even that sad sack jackass Milbury had to make up some crap about it being after the whistle and no big deal.

The sharks whining about getting hit is the least surprising thing, maybe ever.

Yeah and that DeBoer line really shows the difference in him and Jim Montgomery. They got the majority of the calls and he still has an issue.

 

[Eldon Reid]

no PP in the 3rd also according to That one *****ebag it wasn't a penalty cus it was after the whistle.

It was an accident and those don't count according to him. Oh and Perron embellished it according to him.

 

[Eldon Reid]

You could also argue the missed interference on Bozak that lead to the 5 on 3 powerplay.

This non-call on that play had me ticked off.

Just called interference 30 seconds earlier. Sharks player takes out Bozak, which allows Kane to enter the zone with speed and causes the slashing penalty 3 seconds later.

As I said they are human, but all I ask for is CONSISTENCY in the calls.

 

[Itsnotatrap]

DeBoer is a whiner. Big distinction between how he handles things, when he got most of the calls (at least IMO), and how a Bednar or Montgomery handle themselves.

 

[Bluesguru]

Yeah, got the impression San Jose wanted no part of a physical contest. It’s a shame the Blues had a poor game. Would love to win Gm 2 and still crack some bones in that game too. Would like to see the Sharks comments then.

 

[Eldon Reid]

Cry me a river DeBoer! All you want are more penalties, and I thought you got plenty of PP last night.

I would love to ask him what he thought of the no call on the high stick or the interference that led to 5 on 3.

DeBoer: Blues were one of the most penalized teams unlike us.

I'm starting to think Ref Jose is really fitting already.

 

[execwrite1]

There was room for one bad game and that was it. Need to clean up the fixable mistakes and get this back on track Monday nite.

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Those comments tell me that the physicality is and will get to them. Keep forechecking hard, keep hitting hard, Karlsson and Burns will cough the puck up and meltdown in the defensive zone.

This is why I hate SJ

They have had many calls go their way during the playoffs and their coach is a whiney assclown. Yet, the media sucks up to them. The other coaches I've seen don't cry this much.

But it's working for him, so I expect more of it.

 

[Lakas]

The physicality definitely got to them. Hopefully, the Blues don't chase for hits though. It was the right way to play them if they cleaned up their turnovers.

Pretty much this. Our turnovers is what lost the game. The hits got to them and they were all clean hits. Fix shit from our Dmen and continue the hits and we're probably just fine.

Reposting this from the series discussion thread

Alright here's my thoughts: I never expect to go into a game 1 in an opponents arena in a series and win the game. I never really expect that to happen, if it does happen it's a pleasant surprise. Who thought we were gonna take game 1 in WPG? Exactly.

Also, we played like **** and still put up 3 goals. Jones does not look good. Bishop looked 10x better than him, if we stop putting pucks right into his chest and maybe generate some
rebounds we'll be alright.

Let's believe boys

 

[GoldenSeal]

From a team that tried to slew foot Parayko and hi-sticked Perron, same team that almost ended his career on top of that?

Truth is, our physical play worked them out. Yeah they won but Karlsson is obviously upset and that's a nice, lovely, red flag to me. Keep grinding them down and actually PLAY hockey and I bet they'll break wide open.

Only way we gunna do it, us by doing it. Find a way, boys.

Anybody else not liking the Dunn/Pietrangelo pairing? Wouldn't it be better to split up our best PMD's?

 

[Dbrownss]

Just play a clean physical game, you can do both. If the Refs call some BS, go public and cry about it like Deboer. Works for his whiney ass.


Also.....stop gifting the Sharks goals. Win game 2 and game 1 doesnt matter

Montgomery was awesome. I rarely say that about another team coach.

I like it during offensive zone starts, but not otherwise (defensively). Berube/VanRyn have only a few choices for D to partner with Petro, since Larry Robinson doesn’t like Bouw paired with him.

 

[mw2noobbuster]

There are definitely positives to take from game 1. The Blues played their absolute worst game all postseason and if you take away some unusual circumstances, it could have been tied. Take away the 5 on 3 from the missed call on the interference, a lucky bounce of Dunn's ass, and the empty netter. We looked awful and still were able to put 3 in and if we clean up the turnovers, which I'm pretty sure Berube will see to, I see the Blues taking this over. The Sharks didn’t play an outstanding game, they just took advantage of the gifts we gave them.

He's going to be a great coach for Dallas for years to come I think.

Pretty much.

1st goal - Petro shoved from behind causes him to turn the puck over and leads to a 2 on 1 which Edmundson hilariously fails on defending either option.
2nd goal - 5 on 3 after a missed interference on Bozak, Pavelksi left untouched down low with multiple attempts to bury it.
3rd goal - Lazy and careless zone clear goes right to Labanc who takes advantage with the Blues committed to transition.
4th goal - Parayko with a rare turnover exiting the zone after an obvious missed icing call. Meier clowns JBo and undresses Binnington.
5th goal - Meier just tosses it on net and it goes off Dunn and into the net.
6th goal - Empty net goal.

All of those goals are preventable with either good calls from the ref or just the Blues not playing like a beer league team. I'm sure Berube and the other coaching staff is giving them hell and they'll be ready to come back and win game 2, it's not something they haven't done yet.
