They even punked our (bleep) during the skirmishes at the end of the game too, not a single blues player came out on top of any of that. Jets appear to have learned from their many 1st rd exits over the years.

keep going after Scheifele. Eventually he will become Scheifele and will get a good long suspension yet again, he has no control over his emotions.

Binner has to play better, but pointing out Helleybuck was even worse isn't defending Binners play, it's making a factual statement.

Keep going after the dmen and checking them hard, they lost their cool multiple times yesterday, and t hey will continue to.

The rooks are going to have to step up and play smarter and with more control, but most of all they do need to learn what it is going to take, and yesterday was a great training day.

If you put the puck on the net good things can happen. This game kind of went the way I figured. Now they need to regroup and come back Monday, play hard, old style hockey as the would say and tie to up coming home for game three.

The Blues didn't intentionally decide to sit back and play D they were being outplayed by the Jets and forced to defend. The Blues need to play cleaner hockey esp in the neutral zone to keep their forecheck going

They also can’t empty the tank in the 1st half of the game. Plus guys like snuggarud and the younger guys have never experienced a crowd like that.

Neighbours was a bit over the edge last night. His emotions probably drained him a bit.

Playing physical can factor into this series but whether they were mentally gassed or the Jets pressure was too much the Blues need to clean up their game quick. Missing short passes, missing sticks on breakouts, dumb icings these need to stop

The first two goals were impossible to stop deflection. How can Binner do better with that???

Conner shot a 95mph rocket on a bang bang one timer.

Binner was screwed multiple times.

The deflection were literally unstoppable.

How can he be better to stop those?

Need to find the right matchup for the Conner line as well. Our top pairing was brutal yesterday lets hope it gets better.
