I thought we were coming. So you sit Binnington?

I don't get it.

Schwartz tips Hoffman's shot in behind Talbot!!!! Blues tie it at 2!!!! No! It's Hoffman's goal! Schwartz missed it. But we'll take it!!!

Hoffman again!!! Driving his trade value up!

That’s for all the Hoffman haters

He might not go anywhere either. Thomas out, Blues in race, he might stay pat.

The Blues have GOT to score during OT. I don't trust Husso to make the needed stops.

They did it!

ROR wins it on a wrap-around back-hander! With 2 seconds left in the O.T..

Hoffman 1st star!

ROR playing his ass off. What a goal. These guys look like they want to make the playoffs. Damn. They get in, they’re going to make the first place team shit in their pants. No one wants to play a hot team in the first rd., let alone a recent Champ.

Hoffman goes from whipping boy to hero in two shots

That backhand....

That was an amazing backhand, threaded the needle.

There was a hole above keeper’s right shoulder that was around 3mm wider than a hockey puck.

I was absolutely sure I posted THIS just after O'Reilly's backhander went by Talbot! But, somehow, it's not here!

O'Reilly with the wraparound!!!!! BLUES WIN!!!!!! BLUES WIN!!!!!! BLUES WIN!!!!!! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

What a comeback!!! Great win!! Now, I don't think The Blues will risk tossing away this new chemistry. I don't think ANYONE will be traded off. The Blues need Hoffman's shooting, and Schwartz's hustle and puck stealing. The only thing they really need is a more consistent back-up goalie; but they're not going to be handed one. So, I think they'll stand pat, and let the chemistry continue to solidify.

I think they are lucky to have won tonight's game. I have no idea why Berube keeps playing Husso as much as he has. They need to get on Binnington's back and ride him to the playoffs.

I agree, he dodged a bullet. I mean, Husso has to step in here sometime, but I’d like the Blues to get on a roll first and get about 4 in a row to get the momentum going. Fortunately Hoffman delivered tonight and Husso held up.

Vitale was saying with 5 more games against Wild, we could catch them. I don’t want them. Give me 4th place and the Avs in 1st rd.

Even on NHL Fantasy podcast last week before the Avs series last weekend, they said if the Blues get in, they’ll win the 1st rd. no matter who they play.

Kerber is a douchebag, so I take it back.

On the slow mo replay he's casually skating away as the red light flashes like a movie star walking away from an explosion in the background. Just needed some shades to throw on.

He's not gonna stay around and cherry pick.... he has to stay engaged and work hard like everybody else. His board-play has been pretty half-assed at best. I don't think anyone hates him, but he needs to buy in like the rest of the boys. He's making 4 million a year, but he doesn't always earn it.
