Blues back on The Power play again. It's a five minute major!!! Wouldn't it be nice to go up 4-1 before going to The 2nd intermission? It's a five minute major!!!

I've criticized Tarasenko's effort many times, but I'm seeing a pretty good effort from him tonight.

Five minute major. Time to fuck up the consistency on our power play for the season.

Hot damn. 5 minutes

Cheap call on Dunn.

Hooking? come on refs

except for that penalty

Apparently the refs wanted to be the story tonight. Sure wish they'd just let the fans watch a hockey game

Too bad. We get a five minute major PP for almost the rest of the period, and then a bogus minor sends us back to 4 on 4.

when don't the refs want to be the story?

Looks like the NHL refs couldn't make it tonight so they replaced them with beer league refs.

I mean Jbo is covering the crease. How many times do people complain about not covering the crease well enough?

I’m not saying he should never be in that area covering the crease. It just doesn’t seem like a good area to be in, in that situation. He’s not covering any specific player, he’s potentially restricting his goaltenders movement, he can’t see what’s going on with the puck (it’s behind him), and therefore can’t anticipate the play. If there was a player in that area that he needed to cover...then sure, by all means be there. But no one was there and he wasn’t watching the play, so what is he doing?

Good backchecking by Tarasenko got possession back for The Blues, and broke up a Jets' rush. I don't make comments like THAT very much. Nice to be able to do that. The Blues truly have a new attitude these past 2 games, if Tarasenko has joined in on the 2oo foot game!

When in doubt go to the crease.

It was a fluky goal. The blues will get their fair share this season, too.

I think we will disagree on this.

I'll never get upset with a player guarding the most dangerous areas, and a shot behind the goal bounces off his skates.

Shitty beer by the looks of it, too

Blues have the dreaded 2-goal lead going into The 3rd! :naughty: On the road against The Jets. I'll take it. I just hope they don't run out of gas in the middle of the period, from having tried to keep up with The Jets in this fast-skating game. Even though the pace has been continuously broken up by penalties, in between, there were some very long periods without whistles being blown, with end-to-end rushes. I was worried about The Blues' conditioning during their bad play games. I hope they can keep up their energy like they did in Toronto.

HOly shit what a set of saves by the Canes with like 5 minutes left on the PK vs the Wings. Wow. Mrazak bringing it against his old team.

3-1 the most obstreperous lead in hockey to maintain.

Ugh. Ugly Jake.

WTF is JBo doing out there with Petro? Oh right, giving up a fucking goal!

Goddamnit

JayBo beat like a mule out there.

Beautiful snipe by Perron.

Perron scores on a 3 on 2 with O'Reilly and Sanford, and The Blues get a quick counter goal. They lead 4-3!!!

ROR is SO GOOD
