Teams can more easily put blow-outs behind them - even at home - you can always make excuses.

Harder to come back from a close loss that you could have (should have?) won - like every game in this series.

That could be true too.

If the Hawks blow out the Blues in game 5, I've got a feeling that the Blues will fold over like a cheap card table in game 6.
- EKolb13

my fear would be that if that happens in game 5 the Blues will try to take out someone in game 6..

I love that they've been playing with some snarl. Bickell's hitting everybody.

Saad was throwing some hits last night too. I know that's not necessarily his game but would like to see him develop it.
- HawkintheD

Considering he has been playing to avoid contact, I liked it very much.

Minnie scores first.
- StLBravesFan

Been all over them until the penalty.

That could be true too.

Good evening, Eli. I anticipate that the Blues will play their asses off until the last whistle of the last game, and they won't die until there is a wooden stake driven through their hearts.

That can happen to any given player at any time. I'm not going to worry about it until it happens.

What's up mo?

Second most penalized team in the league. They are what they always have been.

Is this guy signed or UFA, what would you Blues fans do if Jackman wound up in Chicago next season(providing he is a UFA)?he's a pain in the balls to play against but a good element to add to this D this summer if SB decides to trade a certain D man. Not sayin it's gonna happen,just thrown it out there on an off night, that's all.

That could be true too.

I have to hand it to the Hawks to come back from TWO devastating losses in game 1 and 2. But the Hawks are playoff-tested warriors. Nothing phases them now

I wouldn't want that piece of poop here in Chicago.

Anyways, he's signed through next season.

Oh FFS. No.
- Elbows15

Amen.

I just don't get some of the (frank)ing crap ideas people dream up sometimes.

Been all over them until the penalty.
- Elbows15

God (frank)ing forbid a penalty is called on an Avs dbag

my fear would be that if that happens in game 5 the Blues will try to take out someone in game 6..
- Glenman12

Let's have it in hand first then unleash Bollig.........on second thought, stick to the plan from the last 2games, plenty of time to square dance with them next season. I fully expect at some point,someone will take a shot at Seabrooke! All I could say is they better watch what they ask for,Seabrooke will be more than happy to accommodate them!

Watch it. Otherwise powerenforcer will show up with conspiracy theories.

Just stirring it up Eli. I think Johns gets a hard long look next fall, maybe his job to lose if he has a good camp.

The writings of Sota and powerenforcer do seem quite similar, now that you mention it....

Yeah, more like polar opposites.

Apparently tinfoil undies though. Something about a better reception.
