First things first big fuckin shout out Robby Fabbri. To say it’s been a bumpy road for Fabbri would be an understatement he’s battled injuries the last couple years after back to back ACL tears. As a fellow survivor of an ACL tear this goal felt just as much mine as his. But on a serious note that was a massive goal. He hasn’t scored since November and hasn’t had a playoff goal since May of 2016. The first goal in a new series is so important and if you listened to the postgame interviews you can hear how happy everybody was for Fabbs and how that goal really jumpstarted the team.
BIG DADDY VLADI.
Two absolutely stellar goals from Tara and he’s been working so hard night in and night out. He’s really showing everybody that doubted him that he’s a superstar in this league and it’s really special to watch in the playoffs. That first goal he drew the penalty on Polak and then 10 seconds later went 5-hole on Sleeper Agent Bishop to score the first power play goal against the Stars in the post season. His second goal was a fucking beauty, Berube told the boys after Game 4 in the Jets series we have to be more aggressive driving to the net and we saw it a ton in games 5 and 6 and it’s already continuing in the Stars series with Tarasenko taking a Heiskanen (stud) for a walk in the park before roofing one thanks for comin!

It was another stellar performance from Binnington. He remains to be calm, cool, and collected and it’s so important for this team to know that they can trust the guy between the pipes. I thought the defense played relatively well with some lapses from Bouwmeester and Petra-Angelo (Pierre fucking sucks put Panger between the benches NBC). I thought Parayko and Dunn played well and it’s great to see the confidence oozing out of our young defenseman, it really is crazy how much it helps when you’re not constantly worried that every mistake you make is going to immediately lead to a goal.
Overall I thought it was a hell of a game 1. The Blues took care of business at home and did it on the back of their superstars. I didn’t think it was our best game and that’s why it’s that much more important that we were able to win a game like this.
Tomorrow’s game is an early one starting at 2PM Central on NBC. Look at how sexy Enterprise Center looks right now I can’t wait to see the place rocking tomorrow and hear some fucking Gloria!
Final thing I wanted to give a shoutout to the homie YP. He’s been crushing the Blues coverage and has a ton of great Blues gear so give him a follow and LETS GO BLUES!!
