4 on 3 PP. Lots of open ice for the next minute. Fingers crossed.

Blues on the 4 on 3 for 1 min +, and 5 on 4 for the rest.

Well, the Blues outplayed the Wild except for MAF. Not scoring on the double minor and/or the 4 on 3 could come back to haunt them.

A decent period by The Blues. But I can't be happy with them not getting the lead with all the power play time they had. I hope they get at least a 2-goal lead in The 2nd. Perunovich looked very good, considering he's been out so long. His wrist is probably not quite ready to go. He passed up some good shot opportunities on the power play, probably because he didn't feel confident that his wrist could take the stress put on it by trying to shoot a slapper, snapper, or hard wrister. The line combo changes seem to not have hurt The Blues. Schenn, O'Reilly, Parayko, Thomas, Kyrou, and Faulk have all played well.

Maybe the PK will get the team going.

Kyrou takes an O-Zone penalty. Blues need to play well on this to keep their momentum.

Either I don't know what interference is, or these officials don't.

Scandella out for the rest of this game. But Schenn has left the bench. Let's hope he's okay. If he's gone, too, there's no hope.

Just before this commercial break, they mentioned Schenn was back on the bench. Thanks goodness.

Good to see Schenn back on the ice!

Blues are going to be playing Rich Pilon on defense by the end of this series

Two quick ones. Thank goodness Kyrou didn't try to pass that last one.

Perron, on his way towards thenet, hits the puck, which bounces off a couple sticks and skates, and finally is knocked in by Fleury!!!!


And then, right after that, O'Reilly steals the puck, flips it back to Kyrou, who dekes, pulls the puck back, and flips up a backhander over Fleury!!!! Blues lead 3-1!!!!!

Haven’t been watching. Out and about. Looks like Perunovich is doing it. Will watch later. Bring it home boys!

Blues doubters are realllll quiet right now.

The Blues will have to kill off a crucial penalty here!

With 16 seconds left in the penalty, Thomas trips a man. Short 5 on 3. Blues NEED to win the faceoff!

Thank goodness it's only 16 seconds of 5 on 3.

Nice stop by Binnington!

This team has no quit in them! My boys!

Schenn chasing the puck all the way down the ice without a stick

Wow!!! On The 2 on 1, Kyrou flips it to the open Barbashev, who muffs it. Should have been an easy goal. I am glad, however that The Blues scored 2 goals within 54 seconds, taking a 2-goal lead in The 2nd, as I requested between the last 2 periods. And also glad they didn't let that lead erode, while playing with TWO of their skaters WITHOUT sticks for 30+ seconds!!! I hope The Blues carry their momentum into The 3rd, scoring early, and win this one going away!

If MAF came out further and played that puck, Schenner would have nailed him.

Well shit.

A nice chance, right in front, for Tarasenko. Unfortunately, at the other end, during a scrum in front of Binnington, the puck slipped just behind him, sat just inf front of the goal line, and Parayko couldn't hold Boldy off, and he was able to get his stick on it enough to poke it forward over the line. Blues lead by only one.

2 goal lead is the most dangerous lead in sports. Smart of the blues to make it 1 goal early. They are playing chess!
