we need to move on from some guys for sure and we need to turn the reigns over and let Kyrou and Kostin play all next season. Kyrou has proven he can play....let him make mistakes if need be. We need his speed. I think Perunovich could have come in and been our best dman in the bubble, hopefully we will get to see him next season.

Freaking 2 on 1 and cannot even get shot on goal

I tend to agree, just not sure who we can move on from, especially up front. We’re coming up on decision time on Schwartz, but that’d be a tough pill to swallow (although may be necessary). Moving Bozak May be possible with only one year left.

John Kelly, "Without a doubt, the Blues are on the ropes." Funny, I was thinking the rope seems to be around their neck.

I was hoping so much that this year's playoffs could be played so that The Blues would have a chance to defend their Title. Now I'm a bit sorry it was played, after all. But, at least, it gave them some clues and insight about Binnington, Allen, Faulk, Dunn, Schenn, Pietrangelo, Parayko, Perron, Sundqvist, Barbashev, etc. in order to decide how to make roster moves for next season, and how to use the Cap allowance.

Goal is now in question. Dunn has lost value. Kyrou is farther away than many of us guessed on defence and skating without the puck. I think I'd move faster towards the younger, faster team that I knew we have to transition towards during the next 2 years. I'd go after Hall after knocking off some dead weight contracts. The Blues' management has a lot of work to do.

I'm sorry Pierre, that's the Blues playing like crap and looking uncoordinated, and Markstrom making the tough save. Canucks are playing good, but they're defense is benefiting from our sloppy play

Agree. It’ll be interesting to see Army’s approach. Does he go after Taylor Hall? Does he make a push for that 2nd Cup? I mean, I think he does but who knows.

Wasn't it just last everyone was saying "Hall is not a Berube type player"???

I think John Kelly forgot that a period is only 20 minutes and not 60 minutes. I'm pretty sure the Blues have scored at least once in the last 200 minutes. That's over 3 games without a goal. JK isn't on his game tonight, either.

And Schwartz scores a meaningless goal.

Well this is tough to watch for sure.

We got one cup, and hopefully we all get to see another one in our lifetime.

If Petro leaves our window is closed, and I will forever have bitter feelings towards him (like I did prior to last season).

Thomas gets Blues' MVP for this series. He's been the only one other than O'Reilly, who has been skating all through every game, and he's had the most good shots. When your team's best passer is doing most of the shooting, you know your team is in trouble.

Thomas and ROR have been great, I'm excited to see how their career goes here.

Petro gives it up at center ice, goal against. Nice one Mr. Intensity. Oh, ya, Faulk got beat on the 2 on 1.

See you fellas in December when we start this all over again. At least I hope it gets started again in December.

Anyone think Vancouver has a chance against VGK?

VGK can match their speed, if Markstrom doesn't fall to earth (and VAN forgets to block the slot), I think VAN will lose to them.

I'm still not a fan of his. I just think his best years are behind him.

Damaged goods, he had that one great season, besides that I have never really been impressed with Hall.

Schwartz padding some good career playoffs stats

Injuries, careless attitude and both tenders have headcase issues, and that will do it for our season.

I think I'll root for VGK and Tampa, I cannot stand anyone else in the POs besides them.

We need to beat VAN in a PO series, 0-4...

During the pandemic, shouldn't they keep their gloves on to shake hands at series' end?

Well, it was good to see ten more games, but sucks we only won two. Better luck next season, and thanks for everything Petro, go get your $$$.

The Blues sure were not playing like they wanted to win this game...and starting Binnington....first bad move Berube has made.

Yeah, I would of gone with Allen. He was playing better. I know you pay your respect to the kid cause he won you a Cup but fuck, there was plenty of time in post season for him to win the job back. Binner was horrible, he looked so mentally beat right off the bat. 2 goals in the 2 opening minutes? I don’t care if you’re the Russian Red Army team, you can’t overcome deflating goaltending. Thank God we won it last year!
