that was awesome

 

[Encumbrance]

Whoa

 

[E Street Brat]

Wow

 

[Capella]

Man #### hockey 

 

[IC FBGCav]

Need to throw it on goal that late.

 

[Encumbrance]

Are the Blues seriously blaming their goalie and starting Allen? 

 

[Encumbrance]

Not that it's Murray fault but do you go Fleury in third?

Hard to put that genie back in bottle

ETA Suppose Fleury sparks a comeback that falls short and Final is 5-3. 

Then what for Game 5?

Murray, short leash. Good call on the comeback.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Are the Blues seriously blaming their goalie and starting Allen? 

No. 

 

[Capella]

Man Callahan's contract has taken a lot of #### here (deservedly so) but he was amazing tonight. You can just see how desperate him and Boyle are for this thing.

Great game tonight, you need it to get ugly to win.   Which I think is a good  thing for boltz.

As far as Pens goalie for Game 5, you can forget what's Fair. Its not Game 46 of the regular season. Almost a must win game for Pens. You have to answer these two questions

Which goalie do you have the most confidence in to win that game?

With Daley possibly out, who do you have the most confidence in to survive a defensive breakdown? 

That's why I think they go Fleury.

I've been crazy busy with work at late hours so haven't had a chance to watch the majority of the games.  The few that I managed to catch up until the last two games were all losses.  Jealous you are going, but can't ever seem to justify the expense.

Top row of the balcony in the corners are reselling for ~$120 all-in.  Not a bad price to pay to witness the franchise maybe win a 3rd game in a wcf for the first time ever.

(talk about success being relative...what a sad sentence that was)

Regarding your question about the goalie, I honestly don't know who I have more confidence in.  Murray has done little this entire season to make me lose confidence.  However, he is still very young.  Fleury is a veteran but he has to be dealing with some rust.  I think the defense will be a big concern with Daley out.  He's been spectacular in the playoffs.  If the Pens keep putting a lot of pressure in the Tampa zone, I think they'll be fine.

When does the NHL World Series start?

 

[Zegras11]

That was a sweet goal

 

[Brady Marino]

That was a sweet goal

Assuming it holds up. Blues don't have a good track record here.

 

[Brady Marino]

Finally, Blues on the right side of an onsides/offsides challenge.

Things are turning around, you guys.

 

[sporthenry]

Need to fix these reviews. Not sure how but if you need to freeze frame an offside, it shouldn't be overturned. 

 

[Capella]

That offsides review rule is almost like if an executive from a rival sport infiltrated NHL offices with the sole intent of driving interest from the sport. 

It is hilariously awful 

 

[JaxBill]

Pretty terrible opening period for Sharks. Could easily be 4 nil

 

[JaxBill]

So we have Law and Order Milbury tonight. Alrighty then

 

[Brady Marino]

Kyle Brodziak is not exactly known for that kind of touch on his wrister, but I'll take it.  

 

[JaxBill]

Beautiful 2v1 on SH goal

 

[Long Ball Larry]

It is hilariously awful 

Was always a pretty big proponent of instant replay, but this and a lot of these baseball ones I've seen this year are making me wonder.

 

[Brady Marino]

Kyle Brodziak has found the Midas touch today!

 

[Zegras11]

Kyle Gretzky is fun to watch

 

[Brady Marino]

Kyle Gretzky is fun to watch

Joe Michelleti (who was the Blues TV color guy when I was growing up next to Ken "Oh Baby" Wilson) compared him to Mike Bossy after the 2nd goal. Appropriate.

 

[Brady Marino]

Fun fact: This is James Reimer's first NHL playoff action since...Game 7 in 2013 at Boston.  

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Man if the Blues blow this it will be just like every other year all over again.

 

[Brady Marino]

Man if the Blues blow this it will be just like every other year all over again.

Alex Steen says shut your whore mouth.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Weird that none of the four teams remaining has used the same goalie throughout the playoffs.

 

[Zegras11]

San Jose arena sucks for TV.  Arena is dimly lit and it seems that center ice camera is higher and farther away than most places.

 

[Zegras11]

thanks for that goal.  Now I can watch my best man's son pitch on ESPN U

 

[JaxBill]

Fleury to start

 

[Capella]

That Pitt defenseman died too. 

 

[fred_1_15301]

Sucks for Daley.  Love what he's brought to this team.  If the Pens end up winning a cup, he's a big reason why.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Same exact post above applies to Murray

 

[irish eyes]

Daley a HUGE loss, worried maatta back in but I'm rooting for him. Hope he finds his game tonight

Man if the Blues blow this it will be just like every other year all over again.

Except not even close to being the same.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Holy ####!!!

 

[Capella]

Stralman, geez

 

[Osaurus]

Ugh 

 

[Wingnut]

Great game so far!!

 

[Zegras11]

Can't win with Matt Belesky.     (that's what I hear every time Doc says his name)

 

[Zegras11]

nice shot by Killorn

 

[Billy Bats]

That shot was placed very well by Kilorn.  

 

[fred_1_15301]

That shot was a bullet.  Not sure Fleury had enough time to even react.

 

[Billy Bats]

MAF!!!

 

[chet]

Go BOLTS!!
