Game 3 of this series was so good. It’s what makes playoff hockey incredible, an entire series flip flopping with every goal scored. However it was slightly over shadowed by that blatant flopping by Esa Lindell that pussy. And thank God it was Pat Maroon bodying him in front to score the game winning goal.
I don’t really feel like writing a game 3 recap. It happened two days ago if you’re reading this you probably like the Blues so you know what happened. The entire purpose of this blog is to continue enforcing the narrative that Esa Lindell is a huge pussy and to talk a little about game 4.
The lines are staying the same as Game 3. The only change is that Vince Dunn has been moved to the PP1 unit for this game. This is such a pivotal game for the Blues. Ben Bishop has been great all year following a loss and that was the exact case in Game 2. Having an opportunity to take a 3-1 back to St. Louis with a chance to close it out at home can not be under stated. This is the exact scenario where teams have to step on the throats of their opponents which is something the Blues historically struggle with.
It feels like the Blues still haven’t played their best hockey of the Playoffs which should terrify the Stars. Bennington has been great and yet the Blues still haven’t won a single game by more than 1 goal. The Blues have also been a great road team and haven’t lost a single road game yet this postseason. I think all these factor into a big night for the Blues tonight, and my prediction is 4-1. I think this is going to be another game where our superstars put the team on their back and that starts with Tarasenko.
Game 4 doesn’t start until 8:30 on NBCSN following the Islanders vs Canes game which sucks especially after the debacle we had in Game 1 of the series with the Boston game going into OT.
Here’s to hoping we get to hear Gloria tonight LGB
