All in all I thought we did pretty well for the first two periods but we were simply dominated by them in the third when we needed the tying goal. Keep in mind by doing "pretty good" that includes coming out nervous and a little scattered still yet somehow managing to play them fairly even. But the Nuts played the third on our end and stood us up pretty well with the game on the line.

Downside was one for 7 on the friggen power play.
Too many stupid penalties for playoff hockey...Tkachuk's for sure.
Not scoring 5 on 3 for 90 seconds!
Upside we ran with the big dog and still didn't play our best.
Mason was sharp.
It's one game of playoff exp a lot of Blues never had. Friday should be a different kind of game.
