Tuukka did not have an off night. He was completely let down by the team in front of him. Can’t win many games when you score zero.Binnington played out of his mind and Tuukka had an off night...that’s not the whole story of the game but it’s a big part.
I would, then put him back in if they get a quick goal.Should they pull Rask now?
That cute public-facing scrimmage helped for sureStory of the series if we lose is the disappearing act by some of our more skilled players, most notably Marchand
Chicago was a great team. These Blues are...pretty good, I guess.What a fuckin way to go. Took a different route but haven’t been this shellshocked by a sporting event since, well, the Chicago series.
QFTAs BB says, it is what it is. The way the cards were dealt this postseason was the chance
You kinda can - cashing opportunities is definitely part of playing well (as is the odd steal by the G of an opportunity that should be cashed).Can’t even say they were outplayed tonight honestly. That’s hockey, shit happens.
I'm not so sure. Defense has so much to do with goaltendingI guess now we know difinitively that Thomas IS the better big game goalie.
I would, most of the saves in the first went into his chest with half the net open.I’d say Binnington isn’t mediocre
They should have buried at least two, Marchand and Nordstrom. Binnington has done everything he can, though.Binnington is locked in. What are you gonna do? That type of night.
Anyone who thinks Rask hasn't been great tonight does not know what they are talking about.Bennington is either great or awful and he’s been insanely good tonight. Hell of a day to play the game of your life. Rask...not so much. This probably impacts his legacy unfortunately because he’s been pretty awesome all playoffs and all year.
not many great chances since the 1st period.I don’t understand complaints about effort they’ve created a ton just haven’t been able to beat the goalie. I know we have all doubted his quality but you have to tip your cap to that kid tonight he’s been unreal
Agreed. Saying this team has no heart is really weak. You think they are trying to lose?The “no heart” and “didn’t show up” stuff is garbage. They’ve played their asses off. Just can’t score.
This is all I have for any kind of enthusiasm...No way they come back from 3 down late. Never seen them do it.
I didn't realize Giancarlo Stanton could skate. . . .Pasta has literally swung and missed like four times tonight.
I feel zero respect for that organizationThis is all I have for any kind of enthusiasm...
