GDT: WCSF Game 1: Blues vs. Stars|8:30pm CT (NBCSN)| The Schwartz Awakens

[Stelmacki]

Can this team please win a game with more than a one goal lead.

Stars showed if BLUES get a lead going into the 3rd they give up a lot of scoring chances. Lots of room to improve for Saturday.

 

[JoshFromMO]

He dragged some poor guy across the front of his own net as he scored his 2nd. Dude went sliding into the boards and I couldn't help but laugh, 91 is nasty to have to defend.

Pretty sure that was Heiskanen top 10 defender in the league

 

[AjaxManifesto]

JR...STL Blues survive

Ok JR

 

[Mike Liut]

Stars arent even close to being as good as the Jets. Different zip code. Sloppy game by the Blues. Need to clean it up for game 2.

 

[Stelmacki]

Is Dallas...not scaring anyone else here?

Bishop looked shaky, and their big names weren't there.

I’m honestly scared of the way we played more than Dallas.

 

[Zamadoo]

Roman Polka.


Okay everyone drink!

 

[ZigZagBluesFan]

I thought Dallas gave us way too much ice and we didn't take advantage as much as we should have.

Our defensive zone coverage needs to improve and if we fix that the Stars won't be able to put up much resistance.

A win is a win at this time of year. Let's do better Saturday in a dreaded afternoon contest.

Roenick is such a f***boi. We won a series no one thought we'd win. Vegas had us winning.....ALOT of writers/personalities had the Blues winning

Well...we won playing a C+ / B- game

JR and the NBC crew want Dallas to win this

 

[Dbrownss]

I heard they have 6 top 10 dmen

Yeah I heard that too. Maybe he’s senile and confused them with the Blue Jackets? That statement would be true about the Jackets. Pretty much nobody had them beating Tampa.

 

[JoshFromMO]

I heard they have 6 top 10 dmen

If they're gonna keep giving tarasenko 2 goal games they can have as many top 10 dmen they want

 

[Xanadude]

We didn't play our best and came out on top. 1-0 is all that matters.

Hopefully the rust is shaken off and we can weather their counter-attack on Saturday.

And can I just say: Oh thank you Lord for the gift that is Jordan Binnington. I mean seriously, where the hell did he come from? Completely amazing what he's doing.

 

[Note Worthy]

Perhaps Tarasenko is waking up? You know once he gets on a streak and confident he’s almost unstoppable.

Boomer Gordon said we'd win. The rest of the NHL XM crew disagreed. We did. He said Nashville would not have a powerplay goal in the playoffs. He was laughed at. They didn't. He said we will grind Dallas and take it in game seven. I'm believing the Boomer.

 

[shpongle falls]

Everyone sad at the nbc panel is sad ,,, great to see haha

Right!? lol

 

[ezcreepin]

I didn't get to watch most of the game, so I don't know how good or bad Binnington's rebound control was tonight, but the difference between him and Jake is that Binny actually has good positioning and can be in the right area to make a safe, much like he did tonight. Allen never had positioning and would always get beat in the most ridiculous spots. I actually thought Binny kept the Blues in the game after watching the replays, but the offense did what they needed to do. I agree we need to see more out of ROR, but as long as he isn't getting scored on, he's doing his job. He's basically our 3rd defenseman on the ice, and I give him tons of credit for stopping plays and being great defensively. As long as someone is scoring, it doesn't really matter.

Anywho, the whole point I wanted to make (or ask), is: was Binny's rebound control that bad.

 

[Stelmacki]

Well...we won playing a C+ / B- game

Which is nice, but I wouldn’t bet on our C+ / B- game to carry us through. We saw two periods of our A+ game in Game 6. That is something I would feel confident in vs anyone. Just tired of them letting teams back in it because they don’t want to play a full 60 if they hav3 a lead.

 

[Robb_K]

Ranksu didn't make it here? I hope he got to see the game. Have a drink on us, son! See you Saturday!

 

[Celtic Note]

We didn’t play a great game and will need to play better, but it is nice to finally be a team that can win playoff games without playing a nearly perfect game. This doesn’t feel like the “defense them to death and hope we score” Hitchcock years.

 

[Zamadoo]

This may come as a shock to some of you, but the Blues are badass. It is in the design of their HC.

I'm Chief we trust.

The prevent defense and ice every puck approach will eventually burn us.

 

[Blanick]

Alright @The Note you won so looks like your up again Saturday.

 

[Robb_K]

Bishop looked shaky, and their big names weren't there.

I expect them to make a push, but we can beat them.

It's going to be a tough, tough, tough, close, close, close, nail-bitingly close series. The winner will come out with the victory because they played harder and wanted it more on one play. Both teams will deserve to be proud of how they played when this is over. I just hope The Blues will be the team that plays one more play better than the other.
