Cue losing of mind in 3... 2...

Yeah I posted that early in the morning when I was still salty about last nights loss... Looking at the hit now, 1 game doesn't seem too ridiculous. I still think two would've been better, but as of now I can accept one.

Move them to Quebec City.

Ticket prices aren't dictated by the results of the games.

 

True, but that doesn't make it any easier of a sell. From what I understand, it's the highest (or one of the highest) increases in season ticket prices they've ever had. Pretty terrible timing, in the very least.

This Islanders-Lightning series is like a 2007-08 Sharks reunion. Matt Carle, Steve Bernier and Thomas Greiss are playing, plus Brian Boucher is commentating. Also JR is sometimes on the intermission show obviously.

Oh, playoff hockey, sometimes I truly hate you, but most of the time I truly love every single thing about you, you beautiful emotion-twisting bastard.

Looks like the Blues and Preds came out to make statements tonight. We'll see how the Stars and Sharks respond Thursday.

The Sharks have great fans, but I have to hand it to Nashville as well. Bridgestone Arena was rockin'. Great atmosphere. Gotta love it.

Did they let Sharks fans in?

[Unocal]

Jeez, I didn't know the Blues were THIS good.

I'll be honest- I thought teh Blues were basically Tarasenko and a bunch of Hitchcock grinders.

I was very impressed by the Blues tonight but it's not even close to being over. The Stars will come out swinging trying to tie up the series and head back home. It's an exciting time to be a Blues fan.

[Cujo]

Is it possible for the Sharks to put their foot on their opponent's throat, just once?

 

They left the door open multiple times for the Kings to comeback (who decided to remain asleep at the wheel), and now here they go again with the Perds.

[rams80]

It's going to be awesome when the Blues lose the next 3 games by one goal apiece and still win the series on aggregate.

Keep digging Rams80, keep digging at our hearts.

 

It's been a great series, I'm happy to see Moose literally stand on his head every night. The Cujo equipment must be blessed, it's truly magical.

The Caps need a win tonight. Going down 3-1 is one thing, but giving an insanely hot goaltender a 3-1 with the knowledge that you couldn't beat him even without his top defensemen essentially spells out doom. The difference between 3-1 and 2-2 in a series is ridiculously large. 

[AHcreative]

Moose has done a stellar job in goal, without him I'm not sure 6 goals would have been as comfortable of a win for the Blues last night. Great offensive effort and really a response to the lackluster 3rd period from Game 2. Hichcock is coaching his ass off and it's showing. Now we just need to keep riding this momentum and close out the series. 

 

Like others have said, though, it's far from being over. This Blues team has proved time and time again that they're capable of spiraling. Hopefully that doesn't happen. If they keep their feet on the gas, I can see a Stanley Cup birth.

 

But we'll see.

I'm no expert, but that'd probably be a painful one to push out.

I would love to see the Blues play Washington in the Finals. Ovi vs. Tank, Oshie vs. Brouwer, Holtby vs. Moose... It'd be awesome. One can only dream though

[Crabcake]

The Capitals have an uncanny ability to have a top-5 PP during the regular season, and a bottom-5 one in the playoffs.
