Re: Game 7 was the worst, most crushing loss in hockey history
That loss kept me up the other night, and then when I woke up at 3am, it kept me up again. I couldn’t believe it was real. But…..36 hours later, I’m already over it. The future looks great and I’m excited for the next 5+ years. Hoping we add a couple of key pieces this summer and I’m ready for October.
It was ugly……but not even close to the worst or most crushing loss in hockey history.

Who came up with these stats...AI? Whoever it was didn't know how terrible they are 6 on 5.Konstantinov wrote: ↑06 May 2025 08:28 am But did the Blues have 99.2% and 99.7% chance of winning respectively, at the time of either of those goals?

Winnipeg scored once at even strength. It was a deflection.Konstantinov wrote: ↑05 May 2025 23:38 pm I'm sorry, but show me a game 7 with the double gut punch of:
2 GOALS SCORED IN THE LAST 2 MINUTES WITH THE GOALIE PULLED
A GOAL SCORED WITH 1.7 SECONDS LEFT - THE LATEST IN NHL HISTORY TO TIE OR LEAD IN GAME 7
AGAINST STANLEY CUP WINNER, 4 NATIONS WINNER JORDAN BINNINGTON IN NET
The game was over. We had a 3-1 lead with under 2 minutes left.
We had a 3-2 lead with 2 seconds left.
This was the most unlikeliest comeback in hockey history.
I don't give a rats (bleep) where the teams were seeded for the playoffs.
All 4 Jets goals were off of deflections. 3 with screens.
Jets were more desperate, and the repeated icings the Blues had to take left guys on the ice for extended times. They were gassed. Frankly, given how they carried play, the ONLY reason that game went to OT in the first place was Binnington.

Lol same. I woke up in the middle of the night and it like all hit me again. I guess for a bit there we forgot we cheer for the Blues and they have a history of crushing playoff defeats.Frank Underwood wrote: ↑06 May 2025 10:16 am That loss kept me up the other night, and then when I woke up at 3am, it kept me up again.

Re: Game 7 was the worst, most crushing loss in hockey history
We will never know our comeuppance this season, but the Blues were close in 3 of 4 Winnipeg home games. The Jets were blasted out at the Loo in all 3. So if the Blues had home ice the Blues probably advance.
Re: Game 7 was the worst, most crushing loss in hockey history
nah.. the Yzerman goal in double OT still hurts more for me. simply because we had Hull,Gretzky MacInnis Pronger Courtnall etc

The only way the Blues could win was with Hellebuyck in net.
The only way the Jets could win was without Hellebuyck in net.

Re: Game 7 was the worst, most crushing loss in hockey history
but Hellafuc came through when it mattered most.
the Jets are a very good team and the Blues did well to push them. I would not be surprised if they go on a run to win the cup and Hallafuc is the Conn Smythe winner

Re: Game 7 was the worst, most crushing loss in hockey history
I absolutely would be shocked if either of those things happened, but particularly Connor winning the Conn

Corey Crawford was absolute trash against Nashville in 2015 but got his head right and was in the running for the Conn...Army's Mom wrote: ↑07 May 2025 11:17 amI can't imagine a goalie has ever won the Conn Smythe while being pulled in 3 straight road starts. No way.

This has been a terribly crushing loss. Instead of going to the American Airlines arena to watch game 1 tonight, I'm stuck going out to help pick out wedding invitations for one of our nieces. Thanks for nothing, Buch.

Analytics has the word with its 1st 4 letters. IDC, we over exceeded expectations this season , now learn and use it next season.
Re: Game 7 was the worst, most crushing loss in hockey history
99% would mean, in a vacuum, if you played that scenario 100 times, the Blues would win 99 of them. 99.5% would mean if you played that scenario 200 times, the Blues would win 199 times. Given the circumstances, I think those odds are pretty spot on but this just happened to be a time it happened. While the Blues failure to address the issue that plagued them all season should not go unnoticed, you've got to also credit the Jets. They had to make that play happen and it took three perfect cross ice VERY hard passes being received and tipped perfectly in to happen.
