We’re 2 and a half hours from game time and the closer we get the more my hatred for their team and their shit fans grows. It was very apparent the Hockey Gods declined my recommendation that the Stars lose every game Esa Lindell plays. That being said there is 0 chance the Blues lose tonight. Zip, zero, nada. You know what flopping around like a bunch of pussies gets you in the NHL Playoffs? It gets you sent home. It was one thing for Esa Lindell to be a little pussy but now we got Ben Bishop acting like he got murdered on a slash by Perron and Benn started shit with Bennington. I would love nothing more than for Bennington to skate to center ice and beat the shit out of Ben Bishop. As for Dallas fans those morons on twitter chirping like they haven’t been flopping all series and defending Bishop for acting like a pussy. I’ve had enough of the cheap penalties and the embellishing this is fucking playoff hockey get it together.
As for the actual game tonight the forward lines are going to stay the same for the Blues. The defensive lines will get one change in that Edmundson is now in for Bortuzzo.
Game 3 was ugly we looked flat we were taking a ton of perimeter shots and not getting any pucks through on goal. And on the opposite side we couldn’t get the Stars out of the slot and they always had players in Benningtons face. Just the exact opposite of the way the Blues have played the entire second half of the season soooo NOT GREAT.
The good news is we still stole one on the road and re-established home ice advantage so mission accomplished there. Tarasenko scored a good Power Play goal and despite the 4 spot on the scoreboard Bennington played really solid the entire game. The other very bright spot was Robert Thomas. He’s been great on the forecheck all playoffs and is one of our better skaters with the puck. His finishing hasn’t always been there but he creates chances galore and scored an absolute beauty off the bar late in Game 4
Enterprise is going to be a mad house tonight and the Blues WILL 100% beat the fuck out of the Stars. The hockey gods will absolutely not allow it. It’s Tarasenko rally towel night so I’m assuming that means Vladi is guaranteed a hat trick so take that to the bank. I will be at Enterprise with the great people of St. Louis but if you are watching from home the game will be on NBCSN starting at 8:30 after the Islanders and Hurricanes wrap up. Here’s to hoping we get some GLORIA jamming through the speakers tonight. LGB!
