    I dont remember which number of goals it was but it was the one he slid to the left. The shortside goal that beat him was on his right side. Id guess hed want that back, but that was a tough shot off a rebound. It barely snuck between his shoulder and the post.

    Well the Wild better be ready to be run at and not retaliate because the Blues are going to try to put them in the box all night. A early lead by the Wild even one goal will help alleviate that.

    We are going to need some KK and Fiala magic early. Give Fluery the lead tonight and he won’t give it up.

    Flower could have let in only 1 goal and they still lose. You guys are focusing on the wrong problem. This team wasn’t built to win 1-0 hockey it was built in scoring. Been that way for 82 games. Why guys are expecting different now is beyond me.

    The playoffs and the regular season are two different animals. Defense wins championships as they say.

    And apparently goalies lose series in game 1. Focusing on and nit picking the goalie is just low hanging fruit for fans. Give up 4 goals, lose game, it’s the goalies fault get out the pitch forks.

    Let’s move on.

    New refs tonight, hopefully can get some 5v5 flow to the game. Anyone here going to the X?

    But that is not how there team is built. You think they can just change their identity now?
    Never mind…
    All on Flower they got shutout in Game 1.

    Just hoping there are not 9 whistles with 5 penalties and a penalty shot in the first 4 1/2 minutes of the game.
    Would be nice to see a live line change every once in a while.

    Still in the Talbot camp here. He literally has not lost a game in regulation in like a month and a half. His stats alone indicate he should be in there, if not during game 1, definitely tonight.

    I don’t dislike Fleury. I just think Talbot is a better option right now.

    Stay out of the penalty box and play the game 5 on 5.

    Since you love regular season stats do you think he handled the Blues well this year? I’ll answer for you. He’s been bad at best. His game style is not best for how the Blues play. Not athletic enough.

    Touché. I just think he deserved a chance. I think his rebound control would be much better.

    Don’t necessarily disagree with you after the first but it was hardly because of Fleury. You have to score to win and we didn’t do that.

    Never said it was , just was saying Talbot should be starting game 2 and Fluery didn’t play well in the first.

    Game 2 let’s Go

    Does Ballys really need to dedicate a chunk of screen to display “Round 1 -Stl leads 1-0” all game?

    Totally different team tonight. Quick, simple, tight play. Let’s hope they keep it going!
