Silver lining

1 by UMSLBlues12
The Blues (outside of Petro, Allen, and maybe Schwartz) played the worst game I've seen them play in awhile and they were still in the game til the end. Assuming they turn it on and compete (which isn't guaranteed) we will be okay. Its a 7 game series for a reason.

Let's go Blues.

The biggest problem is the Blues had trouble with the Wild ' s transition game. The Wild could get out of their own zone so fast and quickly start the rush. That limited the amount of chances the Blues had.

Anything is possible but winning 4 out of the next 6 games against the Wild will be very tough.

Wouldn't it be as reasonable to say that winning the next 3 of 6 against the Blues will be very tough?

Not based on the the way the Wild played last night. They clearly proved they can go .500 the next 6 games and win the series. If not better than .500.

Blues need to play a quicker "north-south" game. The Wild were crazily affective is pushing the Blues to the outside. That forced the Blues to make plays down low in which the Wild capitalized on the turnovers to transition. The Blues need to play their "heavy" game and force it north.

No injuries last night! I think we will be fine. Sucks to lose the first game but it happens. I don't think anyone predicted a sweep.

Edit: Also, we played a shitty game IMO and were still in it until the end. The game could have gone either way even with our half assed effort. Pull your heads out of your asses BLUES!! GO GET EM TOMORROW!

Indeed. Wild played their best and still could have lost to our absolute worst. But game 2 is time to stop fucking around and start playing the way we all know they can.

That was nowhere near Minnesota's best game last night, not even close. Blues have to win tomorrow.

I agree they need to win tomorrow but I thought the Wild played fantastic last night. Maybe saying it's their best was overstating it, but they played a damn near perfect road game.

Definitely a perfect road game, no doubt about that.

Sat back?? You saw a different game. The Wild had their sticks on the Blues most of the game. Their transition game and rush up the ice was far better than the Blues! Tank had ZERO shots. If the Wild keep this up they win the series.

I'm confused by some of the comments. It wasn't an amazing game, but it certainly wasn't the worst.
With a few breaks the Blues could have won that game even though they were flatter than a pancake.

It wasn't Minnesota's best game either.
