GDT: WCQF - Game 5 : Blues @ Wild

[JR1]

The boys smothered the Wild after Vladdy’s second goal. I mean smothered. SMOTHERED !!!

 

[BlueMed]

Faulk has really blossomed. I never expected him to be this stout defensively when we dealt for him. Really good instincts on both ends of the ice. So strong on his skates and just doesn’t make many mistakes.

He is a top 32 defender in the league and does not deserve to be in a tier below guys like Spurgeon, Brodin, or Dumba as Wild fans were suggesting.

 

[Chet Manly]

Vlad's snipe celly was hilarious.

 

[Joshuar56]

Just tried to watch the end if kings/oilers... announcing is brutal...

Looking at the series, hard to say it's not Kiril Kaprizov and the 40 thieves vs. Scheherazade and the thousand Blues.

Ahhhh a nice Lehtera highlight to cap off the evening

This was a game I felt confident the Blues would win even when they were down. One of the best games they’ve played in their own zone (against an actual good team) that I can remember this year. If they can bring that more often they might just make some noise. Doesn’t hurt having Binnington’s puck play either. Husso does not provide that at all.

 

[DoubleK81]

Binner about to carry us to our 2nd SC win and then be traded to NJD for the #2 Overall pick.

f*** that. He can turn into a pumpkin for 2 years at a time and i'll be happy about it if he backstops us to a Cup every 3 years.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

The Blues have adjusted away from being highly selective on their shots to shooting the puck and simplifying their game.

Honestly couldn’t tell you when the last time they smothered a team like that. Truly was at a lost for words. It was like a whole other team out there for those last 13 mins.

I'm trying to figure out what it was, almost looked like he was doing the Statue of Liberty

 

[Meatball]

Great game, guys. Finish these green bastards off Thursday!

Goodnight all and Let's Go Bluuueess!

 

[ChillWill1]

Took a little peak at the Wild board. They are losing it And they still think they’re better than us. I truly believe they don’t make the playoffs without Krill. This playoffs is showing they were a one man band this whole year.

I want a Kaprizov now ! I’m jealous

maybe 11F/7D is the way to go

That 3rd period looked like the 2019 Blues! We have seen it in spurts the last few years, but that was the most consistent playing like that!

The amount of 3v3 OTs they won this season was a huge difference maker for them in getting to 113 points. Had we won two more OT games we'd have tied them for 2nd place and had the tie breaker for home ice.


Edit: Love him, like him, or not, shoutout to @TheDizee for calling a Tarasenko GWG going into the 3rd period!

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Was totally worried in the 1st and much of the 2nd.

Binny kept us in it. Too many dumb penalties. Was worried the depth scoring would be AWOL again.

5 games in Vladi comes ALIVE. FINALLY.

we should just keep rolling 11 / 7 even when healthy ... how many games is this now ?

I think so, what Berube can do selectively deploying Perunovich is a lot more impactful another 4th liner. Plus can feed the forwards that are looking great a few extra shifts with the extra 2 forwards

 

[TheDizee]

our d even banged up is so so so so so much better than edmonton's

good grief

 

[CraftyVeteran]

I did not see the Oilers imploding to the Kings of all teams

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Definitely gonna miss the next game. Heading to Tejas for a bit.

Go Blues! Finish them off at home.

 

[TheDizee]
