And a goalie. If this team had a playoff goalie they could go far.

Hey Wu.....Charter cable did just fine. They switched to the Blues game on NBCSN and the Islander game went to NHL network. We didn't miss any of it.
Of course, tapping into what I have learned from fixing the problems on this site as an administrator, it was easy for me to plan ahead and see the problem coming.

Ouch! If the Note end up losing this series that is a game they will look back at and know that they gave it away. They were pretty dominating in the first period - looked like it was going to be a repeat of Game 3. If not for Lehtonen it could have easily been 3-0 or 4-0 after the first. Edmundson's giveaway was one of the worst I've seen and seemed to totally switch the momentum of the game.
Now they gotta win one in Dallas - which they certainly can do. Go Blues!

I don't know what happened last night, or what the Blues thought they saw in earlier games to make them want to try to exploit the long passes out of their zone to create breakaways and odd man rushes.....but it burned them bad and caused turnover after turnover. That is not the game they play when they win and dominate......but they kept going back to it again and again after the Tarasenko goal.
The Blues have been successful having the D rush the puck up into the offensive zone and flooding the neutral zone as they do.....then relentlessly pounding the opposition D in the offensive zone. Whatever the hell caused them to change their game last night was a bad idea.
And that forking Tarasenko and his ballerina crap wears me out. Either shoot the forking puck or pass it.....his "one man playmaking show" is ridiculous.
FORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

At times they look like they are trying to be Gretzky and the Oilers and they ain't got the peeps to do it.

Those Oiler teams were fun to watch. All of them could really skate. Some of the Blues D-men get beat to the puck in the corner from a faceoff in their defensive zone.

What is icing?
What is off sides?
And with all the hacking and banging and bashing , when does it become a penalty? I cant see the difference when someone is slammed into the wall and no call or when the same play gets called?
Whats the deal on a "late" penalty?
Asking for dabs..

Icing is the stuff on the top and sides of your birthday cakes.
Off sides is when one team crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is hiked.
It becomes a penalty when the referee throws the yellow flag.
Duh

Elliott with a statement game...best of the playoffs.
Hitch calls Jaskin up after 30 days of pine....Jaskin with the game winning goal and great play.
Blues regain their neutral zone dominance for 2 periods.
Now game six. Play it like it's seven boys.

OK, then go to Youtube, type into the search box, "Rules of Hockey Explained". You will get about ten dozen, simple, easy-to-follow tutorials about the rules of hockey. Just be advised, the NHL uses these same rules but applies them a bit differently in may cases, especially the penalties. And also keep in mind there are many rules that probably not going to be explained in most of the tutorials, like the home team getting the last line change, the offending team does not get any line change on an icing call, the team in the defensive end has to put their stick on the ice first for a face-off, etc... And there are rules about line changes that even seasoned fans don't fully understand, like when a player can get on the ice and and when he can make a play (relative to the timing of the player he is replacing getting off the ice). This leads to some confusion about when it is a too many men on the ice penalty and when it is not.
Your best bet is to find a seasoned hockey fan to watch the game with. Preferably one that doesn't yell "Shoooot" every time their team gets the puck at the point, in the offensive zone. That fan has likely never played and/or taken the time to learn the nuances of the game, much less the rules.
And don't get too discouraged. As you can see, even fans like griffin and last stand need some help, from someone like me to fully understand the finer points of the game... 
As far as tonight's game, here is all you need to know: As of today, every time the Blues have had their backs against the wall and faced pressure or a "must-win" situation, they have responded well. However, every time they have been in the driver's seat and had the chance to seal the deal or gain a huge advantage, they have not been their best. What we're looking for tonight is to change that trend. They need to be flying, hitting and dominating the Stars. They need a smothering defense, especially at the blueline and in the neutral zone. The forecheck has to be strong and they must take advantage of the Stars less-that-stellar defense. If they get lazy or let the Stars skate through the neutral zone and enter into the offensive zone easily, they will not fare well. The Stars are just too good offensively to let that happen.
Go Blues!!!

Thanks sptsman , but ten dozen is more than I can handle.....I'll just sit here in my boxers and yell shoooot every time they touch the puck......If it gets too confusing I'll just call dabs for guidance. 
Go Blue.......and Braves!

Hmmm, looking like that Oshie / Brouwer trade is looking more and more to be just what the Blues needed. You have to give Armstrong and Hitchcock a tip of the cap for recognizing it and pulling it off... It seems you have to stay on your feet in the playoffs and be able to grind it out...

The better team won, no doubt about that.
They took the game when Tarasenkos goal was disallowed and then scored another within a minute. Another "answer" that in the past could never be found.
Congrats to Hitch, Ell's, the captain Backes, the kid Fabbri and the gutty job from Stasny.
Eddie, I laughed when I saw your prediction but.....dam man.

Good start to the series, considering they were outplayed much of the game. This was one of those games where you talk about a goalie carrying you. It was needed and Elliott stepped up and answered the call. Good to see.
As good as Elliott was last night, you can't expect that every game. The rest of the team needs to play much, much better. Once again, the 2nd period was a no-show for them. How they got out of that period with a 2-1 lead is a mystery. They were out-shot 16-5 and played about 90% of the period in their own end... Faceoffs were about as lopsided as I've seen in a Blues game as well. Didn't look at the stats but it has to be ugly. They have to do better on the faceoffs...
The good news is that even playing that poorly in the 2nd, they got the W and are up 2-1.
Go Blues!!
