Oops. DP57. I wish I could blame it on how much I've been drinking, but water and coffee really shouldn't do that.

And a PPG by the captain. Good way to end this one.

Great passing around by The Blues, and patience by The Blues power play team, as O'Reilly takes the pass all alone right in front, and knocks it hard enough to go in!!! Blues lead 5-2, with seconds left!!!!

Binner’s back, baby!!!

I'd be a little more confident if the Thomas line showed up.

I still think this series is in jeopardy.

2-2 and that line hasn’t arrived. Confidence levels should be high

I think the series hinges on if/when we can get Bortz and Leddy back. If they're back and healthy for game 5 and the rest of the series, I still like our chances.

Great gutsy win by the defence-depleted Blues!!! Pretty decent game by Binnington. Super game by O'Reilly, Perron, Schenn, Faulk, and Parayko. Nice effort by Perunovich, who really wasn't quite physically ready, but rushed back into play. Kyrou had a better game than he's been playing lately. Good that The Blues are so deep, and others are able to rise to the occasion, when players that were hot before, like Tarasenko, Thomas, Buchnevich, and Saad seemed to have less energy than they have had lately. I assume that Berube will start Binnington next game. He didn't look great, but he wasn't shaky, and was somewhat better than just passable. I hope that Leddy, Bortuzzo, and Krug can play Tuesday. The Blues really need to keep their momentum, and win that game, as they will need to win, at least one game in St. Paul, to win the series.

According to Chief, Krug will be out for "some time" so I don't expect to see him back this season. I like your optimism, Robb, but I'm not holding my breath.

Binnington finally gets postseason win #17!

I think the Binnington playoff losing streak thing was super overrated. The 2020 bubble was fake hockey and last year the Blues were wildly overmatched and by the Avs.

Great game! Binnington looked very good. Should start next game.

Hell yeah!!! Im not blaming Husso, and Im glad we had a backup who has seen a few playoff games.

His stick-work should have him in jail by now.

Yes, I had forgotten, for that moment, how much in pain he looked when he left the ice, and how his leg had bent on the play. But MCL strains and sprains are mighty painful, too. So, I am hoping that it wasn't a tear. But, he certainly will be out for the rest of this series, and probably, at the very least, much of the next one.

Finished watching game. Great effort. I see Faulk and Parayko each played 30 plus minutes. Perunovich comes in and plays well. The guy is going to be good. Sucks Krug is out. I heard Vitale praising Rosen. Says he reminds him of Gunnarson. Great to see Binner seize the moment. Though there were a few times he made the save and he was looking back to see where the puck was - ha. Still, he got the job done and stayed strong. Go Blues!

Southside Tony here at work told me to post on here that Buchnevich, Thomas and Kyrou needs to be the line. He loves these 3 together.
