WCQF Game 1: Blues @ Wild | 8:30 CT | NBCSN, SN360, TVAS2, FS-N

He wasn't trash our defense was. All Yeo did was change from man to man to zone defense.

jesus dont kid yourself

go back and watch all the goals allen allowed this year, he was letting in about 1-2 goals that an ECHL goalie would have saved a game

ridiculous to say he was doing well all year SMH

 

[deadpenguin]

This is perfect

 

[roon]

You can't honestly say that St. Louis deserved to even be in that game.

Jake Allen can't do that over a series. If the Blues don't figure that out they are done.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Vlady just putting the team on his back when he has to

He lurks in the bushes and pounces when the time is right

 

[rynryn]

Give Allen all the stars.

 

[SenzZen]

Lol Edmundson

Did he cross check the puck in, per chance?

 

[izzy]

anyway good for eddy

 

[Terry Yake]

what's with yeo playing the reaves and brodziak line as much as he did tonight?

seems like an awful lot of ice time for those guys

 

[SirPaste]

Blues deserved to lose but Allen definitely deserved that win

 

[TheBluePenguin]

completely frustrating game for both fan bases tonight, if the Blues play like they did tonight there is no way we win this series

 

[Minnesota]

Bruce gunna bruce

You're gonna pin that one on Boudreau, huh?

 

[Pi]

Edmundson's complete lack of reaction was amusing though.

Yeah, it's like Frodo after surviving Mordor. It's over...

 

[TheDizee]

Blues played their F game and won

 

[Oberyn]

We didn't deserve this win. At all. Maybe Allen did but that's it.

They tend to dominate possession in the offensive zone when they are on the ice. They've been a very productive line for us.

Agreed.

If that keeps up, Allen can't stand by game 3.

 

[peteyp]

If STL is going to win the series, those are the type of wins they need. If the Wild continue to play like that they'll still win the series. Allen played great and you can't blame Dubnyk for either of the goals. GG Blues

Our 4th line is very consistently good at their jobs and seldom make mistakes, usually turn momentum in games

 

[Spicy Panger]

Eddy with the baller 'celebration' lmao

ALLEN

Hissssssss...

 

[TRASHCAT]

You're gonna pin that one on Boudreau, huh?

Out shoot the team by a 2 to 1 factor and lose 2-1 is very Bruce Boudreuian

 

[BagHead]

I sure hope the Wild can play that way every game, or that Allen can't. Congrats on the first game, Blues.

 

[TaLoN]

Good game Blues, you have a hell of a goaltender.

 

[TheDizee]

Jake always plays better the more shots he sees. Most of Minny shots were from the outside and no traffic. Blues D did good job keeping them there.

Hope Stastny can go soon cause PP and offense in general had no interest in producing anything tonight.

Yeo loves Brodziak. Brodziak got a ******** of ice time when he played for the Wild during the Yeo era.

completely frustrating game for both fan bases tonight, if the Blues play like they did tonight there is no way we win this series

Thing is, I don't expect us to dominate like that in every game. If Allen stays that hot, this series could become difficult.

Anyhow, congrats Blues fans on the win. Allen, Parayko and Pietrangelo were brilliant. Never realized how bad Lehterä is nowadays.

All you can do is laugh.....

This was some EA sports physics....EA did not want the Wild to win.
