Well that’s a bad break right there. Literally

Ugh, shorthanded goal against.

Petro breaks a stick, and Vancouver takes the lead 1-0

Great freaking play by SunnyD

Nice goal, after the early grouping of shots by VAN, the Blues have just played their game and did not let up even after that hard short handed goal!

Schenn scores after a nice play by Barbashev!!! Ties it at1!!!!

My god ROR is so good even when he messes up he scores

O'Reilly skates around the net flips it towards the short side gap, and it banks off Markstrom and the post and goes in Blues lead 2-1!!!!

Oh man ROR from behind the net off Benn and in. I am also reading and posting in another forum with a bunch of Nucks fans, they say Markstrom has an issue with shots from below the goal line. EEK.

As soon as O'Reilly went behind the net I knew it was going in.

They woke right up after that short handed goal.

90 is special.

Nice to see Schenn get it going. You knew it was an advantage for us to have a healthy ROR for the playoffs and it shows. Dude is on his way to stake claim for back to back Conn Smythes.

What a difference from a couple of years ago!

ROR is my hero. I’m a Blues fan because of MacInnis, but not sure I’ve ever enjoyed a Blues player as much as I do ROR.

The announcers on the Sportsnet feed were talking about the short shifts the Blues take and how much like a machine they are.

It's a far cry from the early days when Perron would take a couple of shifts for two minutes and be all over the ice.

Even the kids on this team play like veterans. Just relentless.

The difference in confidence and resolve is just amazing. Berube got the leadership to believe and Binner gave the belief they wouldn't be scored on every mistake. They've built that winning culture from within. Love this team.

The Blues played pretty well, considering that The Canucks tried their hardest to blow the game open by using a non-stop all-out speed game. The Blues weathered that storm, and if it weren't for that bad luck on the broken stick play, they'd be ahead 2-0. Things are looking good. Barbashev is playing well. He adds a lot. Bortuzzo is playing well. Good for The Blues that the refs are letting little stuff go, so they can play their physical game, which helps their possession time knocking the puck free on the forecheck, and keeping The Canucks from making plays on offence, and getting the puck back, too. It looks like they are a lot closer to where they were during last season's playoffs.

We're just better. Keep it going boys!

David Backes would just bitch and moan and turn into a fake tough guy when the Blues would face adversity. Hitch would just say "fuck me" and try to cross his arms while wondering where he left his hat

The leadership on the bench and behind the bench from then to now is night and day

It's pretty nice now!

After that crazy hop De La Rose got robbed!

Stanley Cup Sanford rings it in off the post. All he does is come up clutch

That pass from ROR to DP57 was amazing.

Now Sanford gets a power play goal!

Hell of a shot by Sanford after a nifty zone entry by Thomas. 3-1

Sanford with a beautiful shot!
