Interesting recap on the end of the second. Perron should have drawn 2 but didn't get a thing.

Plenty of missed calls on both sides.

I think this series has been as close as most educated fans would have expected. If the Stars can get/stay in Bennington's head they may have an advantage.

While there is no doubt the refs in this series and all others have let a lot of penalties slide, the reason Bozak gets two minutes is because Thomas had a clear path to the goal mouth after this infraction.

I have to admit at times it's hard to watch this action as you never know what you'll get with this band of Blues players.

And, where are the rally boobs? They were out in Dallas, although the cameramen have a hard time tracking them down, even if they are right behind the bench.

Can one of our lady Blues fans step up?

I keep telling everyone that as poor as this officiating has been in this series, it's been better than a lot of the other series this playoff season.

The Stars are in the skaters' heads as much or more than Binnington's head imho. Perron as an easy example.

Again, my main issue is consistency.

I try not to get wrapped up in officiating, it's completely out of a team's control, have to hope you can overcome in a 7 game series.

Perron was probably trying to draw a retaliation penalty, or just a little frustrated. I think the response by Benn was predictable. I didn't know of Binnington's history till Wed night. Nothing vicious or unexpected by game 4.

Binnington has looked beatable, very very good, but beatable. Just need to try to keep Tarasenko contained for 2 more games. Hard to believe there were rumors he was on the block earlier in the year.

When the Stars are allowed to straight up blindside Perron away from the play as he goes to the bench, and the officials let it go, it's easy to see why Perron is off his game. Dallas has dived and whined their way into the officials heads, and is getting away with murder now. When even the national broadcast is pointing out the stuff Dallas is getting away with, you know it's bad.

My 2005 draft pick for the Blues has sure looked amazing in net, once again.

Bishop's .936 Save % is 2nd best of the final 8 teams left.

While Binnington, who has played well at times, Jordan has a .908 Save %. LAST of the 8 goalies remaining.

Can't believe you didn't want to keep Ben, especially since he grew up in STL.

I'm sure Armstrong knows what he is doing.

Oh well, at least Jaden Schwartz and Taresenko have looked insanely great and are saving you guys on offense these playoffs.

Is that the same Jaden and Vlad that were also my last 1st round picks before I left the Blues in summer of 2010? After you chose Armstrong over me for your next GM in STL...hmm.

No worries, Trust In Jarmo and I don't know anything anyway. Right?

You are some bright, non-biased/refs are out to get you fans.

See you in 2020!

Sincerely,
Jarmo

Well, you're nothing if not consistent.


Seriously find some new shtick.

Blues 4 to 1 on PPs last night, and 16 to 11 in the series.
