QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 11:15 PM) All true. But it doesn't change facts. We're not talking about a young bunch of kids not knowing any better. Toews name gets thrown around all the time as the best overall player in the game, and Kane was the league MVP. Find a way. Adjust. If you don't, you're playing golf in late April. Yep. It's weird seeing them so befuddled

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) 19 and 88 are goal-less after 4 games. With this roster, you aren't going to win a series with that. The Blues best player has shown up in spades. Can't say the same with the Hawks. The blues have done a masterful job defensively and they are helped by a hot goalie.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 11:04 PM) Oduya absolutely does. The lack of defensive depth is killing this team. At the same time, Oduya was a lost signing, so not entirely on Bowman. Oduya has nothing to do with getting stoned offensively and giving up PP goals. Zip.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 11:02 PM) If the trading of Oduya, Sharp and Saad was the nail in this coffin, then god f***ing damnit it was a great run and I enjoyed the hell out of it That literally has nothing to do with their performance. This team is still very good. They haven't really shown up and they are playing a team that clearly wants it more.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) Thats a crap play in the regular season. No need to make that pass. Team has been asleep all series.

PK disappeared and we have no offense. I can see why Stl is winning this series.

Oh f***. Wow.

Why are we double teaming guys. This team is in full panic mode.

So bad. Trouble now

Elliott has a horseshoe up his ass

That's also a save Crow needs to make

Dumb f***ing penalty.

Actually it was Shaw

Toews just got closelined after that goal

How the hell is that on Panarin?

Oh Crow no. Don't.

Lol the only reason Shaw didn't attack that with a high stick is because his stick was being held

There we go. Annoy Elliott

Should have been another penalty there on the cross check in front of the goal.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) This reminds me of the Arizona (then Phoenix) series a few years ago. Smith isn't a great goalie but he was great then. That went 3-1 back to Phoenix, Toews got an OT winner and then the Yotes won it in Chicago. This has been tough to watch For sure. Great comparison.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) Paging 19 Paging 16 Paging 22 Paging 72 Paging 81 Paging 86 I could go on all day. He's not their only good player. Someone else could score if they'd like, too. It doesn't help that Elliott is absolutely on fire either. Need to get more bodies to the net and make him uncomfortable.

Out shooting the blues but nothing real close to the net. They are being forced outside.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) And that's when the Hart winner needs to make adjustments and find a way to put the puck in the back of the net. This team isn't nearly as deep as years past, time to step up. Technically he does have 3 points in 3 games. Trying to facilitate seems to be his adjustment so far. He does look sluggish though.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) Good lord, Tarasenko needs ZERO room to make something happen. Paging 88, paging 88... The Blues are doing a real nice job on him. Pushing everything outside.
