GDT: Blues at Jets 6:30 CBC, TVAS2, ESPN2, FDSNMW

[desertrat23]

The Blues passing has been downright awful. The dmen have repeatedly failed to keep pucks in at the point.

They had a chance to steal game 1 and make this a series but didn’t have the ability to nail it. I’m just not seeing it right now. The Jets would really need to collapse

Well said. No shame in it; they’re just the weaker team.

As others have said, the loss of Holloway was huge.

[theograce]

Why are we going with seven d ? Second whiff by Tucker on his wrong side. Does Monty not trust Texier out there? Forwards are gassed.

I suspect Parayko may have been feeling the effects of game 1 and he brought in a second defenseman to be safe,

Could be. He's not quite the same.

I think it might be around Broberg. Dunno tho

Jets are missing a couple too

IfHolloway isn’t back next game… series over

Blues control line matchups at home. The thing now, they have no room left for error, they HAVE to win both in St. Louis.

The hockey is tight, two one-goal games plus the ENG. Blues have to win the next game.

[11WSChamps]

Predictably just don't have the firepower to overcome such a small margin for error.

[STL fan in MN]

Kyrou will be dealing with bruised ribs for the next two weeks.

He played very tentatively since being blown up. Played trying to not get hit.

[BlueGhost]

Either way…. This is a young team and I’m (bleep) proud of them. This is good experience for the blues kids.

[JoshInFenton]

I can say after this one i wouldn't give Tucker another look unless we have an injured defensemen. He looked allergic to the puck at times, and the pressure of the big stage suddenly looked to swallow him up a few times over. I'd rather Kessel if we are going 7, but honestly just put joseph out there so we don't have to juggle lines so much.

[BobbyOrr]

Can't get past the blue line when jets go prevent.
2 games in a row.
Gotta tip your hat to the better team.

He’s not even skating. Not happening.

Maybe they can turn the tide with the last change and home crowd but losing Hollway has been huge. He’s was the engine of the 2nd line and now it’s all discombobulated.

The entire Blues team looked discombobulated tonight. Not sharp at all.

Yep. He was atrocious in the third period.

[Pierre McGuire]

The Jets are good…let’s not act like they aren’t a good team because of past failures. Right now their best players have been better then our best players. You are never in trouble until you lose on home ice, but I’d say the Blues are definitely in trouble. I haven’t seen enough buy in and willing to pay the price for 60 mins. Parayko is terrible right now…no way he should be on the ice with the goalie pulled…puck looked like a live grenade on his stick.
If the Jets had Ehlers and Villardi this is likely a sweep.

It’s very possibly a sweep anyway.

[smilinjoefission]

For 70 games this was a non-playoff team

[IsDurbanodoingtime]

Dire maybe but still not over. We have been dominate at home. Need the bounces like that first goal by schiefle.
