SMOKE EM IF YOU GOT EM!


BLUES at WILD

TV: CNBC, SN1, TVA Sports 2, FS-MW, FS-N

Best-of-7 series tied 1-1

3-2 Blues.

If the Blues can weather the storm in the first ten minutes, then we should take this game.

It's a beautiful day in the great state of Oregon on 4/20 . Blues win tonight convincingly whilst knocking down every bit of confidence the Wild have left going into game 4.

Happy 420.

Blues...just win.

JUST. WIN.

I hope they didn't have too many meetings before this game.

If I'm a Wild fan, I'm worried about Dubnyk's stat line. A 2.52 GAA and a .894 save % won't get it done in today's NHL playoffs.

As a Blues fan, I want to see more players on the score sheet. 6 Blues with points compared to 12 Wild. Time for our depth to step up.

We're looking at you Backes and Oshie.

However, Oshie is historically awful in the playoffs. I think it's 7 points in 27 games. Tarasenko has more than half of that in the first two games.

And Petro, and Stastny, and Bouw, and others.

And please, for the love of all things holy, keep shooting Vladi!

Everyone shoot and ask questions later!

Cooke and Schroeder back out for Minnesota. Fontaine and Bergenheim back in.

Where's everyone watching the first road game tonight? At home? Friends house? Watering hole?

I will be at a local watering hole.

I'm finding their lack of production to be alarming.

I"ll be in front of my TV alternating between Schlitz and Gennessee Lager.

T.V. as usual. I wish there was a local place here with Hockey fans to watch the game.

Going to play some street hockey and then watch at home.

I'm watching at home. Interesting tidbit...

I live in North Central Arkansas and I'm one of a small niche who even care about hockey, much less the Blues. Well, turns out a friend on Facebook messages me and her teenaged son is a huge Blues fan. He actually listens to regular season games on the radio! He lives a block away and will be coming over to finally have someone to watch the game with!

It's a funny world.

I'm home tonight with my son to watch it.

If out in st. Peters area, a place called Acme is a great little bar to watch the game. Hidden away spot.

Service has been outstanding, eaten there twice now and was impressed. They are all about hockey in that bar. They do a free drwaing of player names, where if your player scores, you get a free shot. Stuff like that.

Just a small place I liked and can tell they need some support.

Blues game.
This game is huge. Time to start puting it all together for the entire game. Honestly, I am no longer scared of minnesota at all. Truly believe it's up to the ?blues to play their game and they will win. I hope they pull it out this round and finally build some playoff confidence.

Go Blues

Jealous

I look for both goalies to continue their current trajectory. Dubnyk has not been good. Allen has been excellent. If that continues, the Blues will win this series.

Also. It is time for our scoring depth to show up. STL will be the Wild's focus tonight. I am sure they have to feel if they stop that line, they stop the Blues. It is time that Schwartz, Backes, Oshie and Stastny step up and give the Wild something else to think about.

We need the top line to score.

Period.

Jaskin's got to have the nerves out of his system by now or sit him.

Backes needs to get angry, but controlled.

Smart play with the puck...no bad turnovers....support the puck carrier or the defender and they should be able to win. I don't care who scores....as long as they score.

i'll say it again - stop letting them stroll over the blueline. this is nothing but trouble. stand 'em up.

We got this. They got the shitter out of the way early.
