I double knocked on some wood for your thinly veiled jinx.
Oh god - here come the conspiracy guys. And I'm not superstitious - you either win or you lose. And Lehtonen's .901 SVP in the playoffs this year along with Niemi's .872 SVP is pretty obvious to me who takes this series.
As a Blues fan, I learned long ago to not put any faith into the, "well, on paper, this team should..." argument.

All he does is jump up and down, waving his arms and his sign when the camera is on him.
It really just looks like a desperate attempt for attention. Kind of pathetic really.

Nashville scares me because Rinne can easily put up 4 shutouts. San Jose seems like the easier opponent, but who the hell knows?
I hear you. I honestly don't know who I would rather face. Nashville is a division rival, while we have some bad playoff blood with the Sharks. Either would be a satisfying opponent, but I can't say who would be tougher.
We're back home, Tarasenko in front of the home crowd: Gets a goal and an assist tonight.

Hahaha nice try on the kiss of death. Go drape yourself in your Stanley Cup banners and keep in mind we haven't seen our team in the WCF in 15(!) years. I feel good about tonight but I refuse to take Dallas or any other playoff opponent for granted.
Get the handshakes, St. Louis Blues.

Complete and total dumpster fire of a first period. Good God. I suppose it could've been worse but I'm not entirely sure how.
When Bortuzzo(?) fell down and Spezza walked right by him and shot and scored... I just said it out loud "If that's how this is going to go it's going to be a really long night."

Well I never do that... The only positive is that it happened in the first period. Assuming they can stop the f*cking bleeding they could score 3 in 40. HAVE to get one or two in this period though. Gotsta.

2 down 1 to go. Obviously a much much better period but what the hell is it with the turnovers?! My God. Allen had to bail his d-men out on more than one occasion. Shattenkirk alone had 2 nasty turnovers.
Huge huge goal from Steen. We had to get at least one goal that period and they did.
Gotta give credit to Dallas, I don't know that the points have gotten a single shot through all game. They're blocking shots and getting into the lanes to a maddening degree. Blues have had basically zero open looks.
I put my hands in my head when Brouwer got ahead of that puck and he lost it off his stick, ugh.
