Yikes

Everyone on the Blues side needs to calm down, we got screwed...arguing with entitled Californians is going to go nowhere. There are many positives here. First, this WILL light a fire under the Blues to absolutely destroy the Sharks and honestly this will be the best case scenario moving forward as we have been playing at 60-70% potential minus the game 6's. Secondly, the Sharks look like hot garbage right now. Whether it's from being fatigued or banged up, they just don't look impressive. This is partly why their fanbase is clinging to the notion that they deserved this game...they're terrified of how awful their team looks. Bring it on....you just woke a sleeping giant.

Agreed. Wasted time on the SCP boards arguing with “entitled” Shark fans who think that missed calls in the 1st and 2nd nullify the non call in sudden death death OT. Others arguing it was a “legal” hand pass. Colossal waste of time on a smug fan base who have been “gifted” at key moments in these playoffs. We just need to beat them and not look back.

 

[TheDizee]

The ones saying it hit Jbo and was legal are the most amusing of them all. They had a poll on it and the poll was at 82% saying it was a horrible call before thread got closed.

Its literally Ref Jose fans defending it and nobody else lol

Looking at a brightside of the game last night

4th line was great. Barbashev, Sunny and Steen seemed to find a different gear last night. If they can keep that up, I like our chances going forward.

Not if JB does not play better. Hes playing down to Martin Jones levels. 12 goals in 3 games is not acceptable. We need to defend better.

Brutal, backbreaking loss. The hand pass was clear as day and the refs turned a blind eye to it. That's just a fact. Another fact is that we had several opportunities to just win it outright. Schwartz hits the empty net, it's over. Petro makes a better play instead of icing it with no pressure, it's over. O'Reilly ties up Couture's stick in front of the net, it's over. Etc. It doesn't excuse the absolutely horrific officiating, and the officials absolutely should be held accountable for their actions, but the Blues didn't do enough either to just close out the game. Feels like a series defining loss and one we'll look back on like all of the other brutal series losses in the past.

Hand pass aside, wtf was everyone doing on that play? Schenn leaves Nyquist, Tarasenko leaves Karlsson. JBo not hard on the puck or body defending Nyquist. Binnington sliding terribly uncontrolled...

Not only did the refs blow the play. The Blues played it equally as bad.

 

[Note Worthy]

I'm very curious to see how the team responds to this. Will they fold or be pissed off?

Blues will win this series if the refs f*** off and they start defending better.

Big if though

They were going for that loose puck, if meier doesn't hit it it falls to Schenn's stick. Meier had no legal play on it

 

[Jon Schriner]

After the crap that Walmart Great Value Brand Johnny Depp Jack Sparrow knockoff reject mother ****er said post game forget that!!!

TO WAR!!!!

I called him Wil Wheaton's super gay evil twin earlier, but I might like this better. Either way, f*** that guy and I hope someone puts him through the glass on his first shift in game 4.

 

[ManyIdeas]

whatever

blues in 6

Refs miss calls all the time, it's a fast game and it happens. The travesty here is the overall spectrum of a flaw in the league. Toronto absolutely has to have the authority to make a call on that and notify the on ice officials that they missed something.

Agreed this is the only solution
every ref will miss calls

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Still no statement from the league.

 

[Instl]

Couture thanked Pietroangelo for the icings. He should have. Those were bone headed moves. I can accept one from him, but two? We shouldn't' have been in OT if it wasn't for those icings.

Thought this was humorous and gut wrenching at the same time.

Salt in the wound? Timo Meier is officially credited with an assist. So, the league ‘officially’ records an assist for a hand pass that ‘officially’ didn’t happen. #NHLOfficials #MissedABigOne #Sharks #Blues #STLvsSJS

We wont get one.

And Petro saying there's different rules for different teams is Bush league. Clear the puck without icing it twice and maybe it never would have gone to OT.

Painfull to read, but I agree.

IF we somehowe win this series we trully are team who deserve to win SC.

Depressing day at work. Hits back of my head how we lost thus game. Its like bad dream. Bleed Blue för ever.

It literally was an interview about 15 minutes after the game. Anyone who blames a player for being heated is insane.

 

[Ranksu]

Looks Mike Haley break his hand in that Parayko's slash.

Btw what is Dunn's situation?

 

[Thallis]

There's more mental gymnastics by SJS fans in couple hours to justify that goal than the Buffalo fan base justifying the ROR trade for 10 months

These people think there are 3 syllables in the word "Sharks." They're not the brightest bunch.

I don’t think I’ve ever been as angry with a player as I was when Petro iced the puck for the second time.

He had time and he he had space after a won faceoff and I was in stunned disbelief that he would choose to to take a few strides and wrist one down for an icing under those circumstances. I mean what the actual f*** man.

That was as boneheaded of a play as they come. Like do that with a 2 goal lead, not 1.

Chief mentioned this and noted on the second one that Pietrangelo could have skated the puck out and got some room. You know he is going to f***ing rip petro for that bullshit, so that made me happy
