Scheifele Out Game 6

That’s a helper!

[MiamiLaw]

Wow it must be semi-serious to already be announcing that

[George Zipp]

Didn't get on the plane. They announced that. Even that announcement surprised me. Teams rarely disclose any of this stuff.

Meh... in theory, yes. But, the Jets depth-scoring was non-existent until last night. Schenn seemed to ignite some unity in them. Hopefully there's no carryover effect.

What p*sses me off is, had the refs been doing their job and called the flopping Jets for their multiple embellishment dives through the series, Schenn'(poop) may have never happened.

I'm sure they announced it early to get some press about it, get the NHL's sympathy, and get some pity from the refs Friday night. Gamesmanship pure and simple.

Tough noogies. This is a man's game ... and a man's series. If they think this is tough, the Panthers play just as heavy as the Blues do.

They now weigh even heavier on Hellebuyck. Can he handle this?

We are going to need more than 12 shots on goal first two periods or whatever it was. He let in a Jake Allen esque softie last night on Snuggy's goal. We need to be so much better putting pucks at the net.

Each game can sometimes be a separate event in a playoff series. What gets lost sometimes in everyone fondly remembering going to Boston and pulling off a 4-1 win is the fact that we got waxed 5-1 at home in game 6.

[somni]

Oh darn.

Playoffs are rife with injuries. Blues have their share and so does every other team.

Blues just have to play better no matter who is wearing the Jets jersey.

Yep. That game was over in about 10 minutes.

Already been announced there won’t be one. I agree with bud white. It’s gamesmanship to try to get favorable calls going forward. Sometimes it works, even if just subconsciously.

Definitely gamesmanship trying to get an edge to survive the series.
Arniel revealing they have been doing institutional whining to the league since series puck drop is humiliating for him. Berube would never say that

I think Arniel is a fine coach but I lost a little respect for him with that comment as well. They’ve really been complaining to the league for all 5 games? The mean ole Blues? I thought both teams were being very physical but for the most part keeping it clean. Whatever. Just need to take Game 6 and go from there.

Yeah that is the plan I'm sure

[imyourhuckleberry]

I'm sure the over 200 hits Winnipeg has landed this series were 100% clean.

[bud white]

Throughout the league - and especially in Montreal - there is little love lost for Shiefele. Folks are pointing toward cosmic Karma pointing toward 55s hit on Evans during the SC Playoff Bubble a few years ago.

I had no issue with Schenn'(poop) at all. As to interference - we've already seen later hits this playoff. This is Game 5 for crying out loud. Everybody knows what's going on and everybody should be ready to get thumped.
