Game 5 Monday night at 7:00. Wish NBC had the other series on early tomorrow. Guess someone is afraid of going up against the NBA.

No its not. I said it, I was melting after losing games 2 and 3 by a combined score of 7-0 and being lucky to win game 1. I also gave a very rational breakdown of why I thought things were over...unless the team obviously changed their play, in which they did tonight.

If you think I "quit" on the Blues you are sorely mistaken. I have dollars to doughnuts I have been a suffering Blues fan as long as or longer than you have as well.

No need to call out your own fans, especially those that have been saddled with chokes and shite from this franchise in the playoffs for a long long time.

Sobotka was lured by the money


He will be a Blue next season, if not, dealt.

Blues have him under rights for 1 more year. Some contract dealio rule. His agent has already stated that he wants to come back.

Supposedly he tried to come back after the KHL season to burn that year off this post season.

I expect Vladi back with the Blues next year honestly considering his skill set and ability to play up and down the lines in various roles and positions and given the uncertainty of certain players returning to the Blues next year playing out their contract years.

I think thats fantastic. We are sucking the Sharks into our game. Let them play chippy and disheveled.

It's great that both series are 2-2 now. These things make for memorable fan memories and it's good for Hockey's overall health to have interesting conference finals. Let's not forget what's really important though, more revenue$$$ are created for the NHL's bank.....lol

Best of 3 and I couldn't tell you what's going to happen. These series are all over the place, that's for sure. One of my favorite things about Hockey is how quick the momentum/tide can change, even within the games themselves. Player effort, the fortunate bounces, and the x's and o's have a bunch to do with all that.

The Lightning have surpassed what I thought they had left this year, but they shown me a level of resiliency this postseason, I didn't think they'd be able to muster up. Hope its enough.....

Go Lightning !!!!

Think the Lightning will win this one. Fleury will be rusty. Stamkos and bishop out for game 5. Man they like to keep this interesting....

Your breakdown was pretty thorough, and you made a lot of valid points. You probably have been suffering longer than I have. So good for you I suppose.

Blues have been awfully resiliant all year, and have knocked out some very good teams. Despite that, many still don't believe in them. I fail to see how all the other previous disappointments have any bearing on how any future games are played. I somehow doubt any of the players are even thinking about that when the puck drops. Good thing the players don't have the same old loser mentality some fans have.

4th isn't a bad finish with the JV team

This is going to be an interesting one tonight.

Team will definitely be amped to have Flower in the pipes and back at home where they have been so dominant. But you don't know how polished Fleury will be, looking good for 20 minutes in Game 4 helps.

Trevor Daley broke his ankle and is done for the season, which means Olli Maatta returns to the lineup after being a healthy scratch last 2 games. Talented sure, but Olli has been terrible.

Flip side of that, Beau Bennett was cleared to return this morning and will be making his playoff debut. Will boost the 4th line a lot.



No official lines yet but I think we see a lot of Malkin with Crosby tonight.
