I'm proud of this year's Blues. They didn't wilt. They didn't give up. They fought hard till the end. Dallas doesn't have a good defence. They are tough to keep off the scoreboard. Should be interesting. I like The Blues' chances.

Also, if you'd have told me before game 1 that this would go 7 games, and Kane and Toews would combine for 1 goal? No way.

You can all thank me for personally ensuring the Blues' victory- this is the first time I picked against them in the LGB Playoff Challenge, for this exact reason.

You're welcome. :okman:

that was rather nerve racking. I can't remember seeing 2 double posts in a series. can't remember the same team (Blues) missing two absolutely wide open nets in a series.

kind of fun watching the Hawks post game. Konroyd looks like he's about to cry. Mayers whining about the Hawks not getting calls! Hawks and their broadcasters look stunned; I think all their talk about this being two heavy weights slugging it out, anybody's series was just that; talk. I don't think they felt the Blues could beat the Hawks.

So........the 'narrative' is over, but I stick by my assertion pre-playoffs; anything short of at least making the conference finals is a disappointment.

FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gritty performance by many tonight. Some of you already hit the nail on the head giving Fabbri, Pie, Parayko props.

Pietrangelo really played well most of the series.

We hit more, which was great to see.

Brouwer gets the series winner. Totally poetic.

Fabbri is a fukken stud.

Beating the Defending World Champion Chicago Blackhawks in a game where old era hockey actually prevailed? For now, I will accept this win as the ceiling, until we play Dallas that is :D.

Man did Parayko have a series! Such composure. If he would just get a hint of Pronger's old nastiness he'd be even more of a beast. :grin:

Our whole crop of young guys really!

Tarasenko, Schwartz, Fabbri, Parayko, all draft picks, among many others! Hell even Lehtera was a draft pick.

You HAVE to draft in the first round in this league. Have to. And get lucky in a few of the later rounds. Majority of the guys out there tonight were Blues draft picks.

Parayko is just a f*cking stud. What he's doing out there as a rookie is un-f*cking believable. Lucked out in the draft and now wouldn't trade him for the world.

Agreed on Dallas: Thus far this year they've generated success out of turning games into track meets and getting good goaltending. Blues defense could cause them to regret that strategy really darn quick.

Chaser and Kerbs discussed this aspect of Parayko's game. Chase said Pronger was the nastiness defenseman he ever played with and that's just not Parayko's game.

IMO, Parayko needs to use his size more and hit guys instead of stick checking when he has a clear chance to crunch someone. I'm wondering if something happened in his development that makes him hesitant to use that size, because that's what it looks like watching the games when he seemingly won't hit someone he could legally crunch.

See I thought he did fine. He's not "nasty" but he uses his size. More to the point what I didn't see? Him getting caught out of position. Hardly at all.

He really is a unique player in what he brings as a Dman. I'm just being greedy wishing he could also paste people though the boards. :grin:

https://twitter.com/FSMidwest/status/724818771915894784 This interview is awesome! Love how Tarasenko keeps burying the leading questions from the reporter and his focus on winning the Cup. :cup:

WB, damn right on Parayko' s positioning. It's been outstanding in almost every game this season. Game 6 was a weak one in which hitting could have helped.

But the Blues WON GAME 7. :banana: :goblues: :banana: :goblues: :banana: :goblues: :banana: :woohoo:

whew, what a win. Feels like we won the west tonight. We will not have a tougher matchup until maybe the Cup finals. If we can win this series, we can win any series. Let's make it happen. I want a damn parade!
