and that's probably it

[Portland Blues]

Now we get 37 more minutes of the announcers raving about this young skilled Canucks team.

[Portland Blues]

That one was just embarrassing.

[flyingnote38]

disappointing
team showed up for only 2 and half games since the reboot started

[gaijin]

That's pretty much all she wrote.

Do you pull Binner and put Allen in out of desperation?

[Portland Blues]

4-0 now. What a pathetic ending to our Cup defense.

[flyingnote38]

we may have a goalie change this offseason too

Never really felt like they were here to compete this postseason. Guess they were all digging the time at home.

But... who? I would say Allen has been the better goalie this "season."

[JCShutout]

Wow and garbage. Can’t trade Allen now. Gotta legit competition next year

[gaijin]

Some good possession there in the offensive zone, but no real chances...

[Portland Blues]

Canucks letting the Blues skate around in their end for like 3 minutes. That shows how concerned they are.

[Portland Blues]

Will the Blues actually score a goal in the 3rd? Maybe they've already boarded the plane home.

I was hoping so much that this year's playoffs could be played so that The Blues would have a chance to defend their Title. Now I'm a bit sorry it was played, after all. But, at least, it gave them some clues and insight about Binnington, Allen, Faulk, Dunn, Schenn, Pietrangelo, Parayko, Perron, Sundqvist, Barbashev, etc. in order to decide how to make roster moves for next season, and how to use the Cap allowance.

Goal is now in question. Dunn has lost value. Kyrou is farther away than many of us guessed on defence and skating without the puck. I think I'd move faster towards the younger, faster team that I knew we have to transition towards during the next 2 years. I'd go after Hall after knocking off some dead weight contracts. The Blues' management has a lot of work to do.

I don't agree with this. Allen's more solid play in his first 2 playoff games helped The Blues get back into the series. So, he let in a couple bad goals in what will be 3.5 playoff games, after playing well all regular season. He's a solid 1B goalie, and okay, as long as he's not counted on to be The #1 or play more than 40 games. He's in The NHL's Top 7 backups, and also one of the few backups that could allow a team to stay in a tough playoff race if they were to lose their #1. There are always a few teams looking for a top back-up in a that key position. The Blues WILL be able to trade him, and won't have to add value for the deal to be made. Rather, they'll be able to get back something of some value to them (a draft choice or secondary prospect (of Sanford's ilk) for him. I just hope that Steen will retire. Bozak will go, as well.

[Portland Blues]

I didn't pay any attention to Vancouver this season. Was their goalie that good or are we making him look really good?

[gaijin]

Markstrom has been quietly putting up very good numbers in Vancouver, and is often mentioned by analysts as being underrated and usually overlooked. I bet that doesn't happen any more.

[Robb_K]

And Schwartz scores a meaningless goal.

[gaijin]

Hey, we scored. How about that?

[gaijin]

Big save by Allen there.
