Great teams loaded for the playoffs only go as far as their goaltender. Being Blues fans, this is a painfully obvious fact. It stuns me how much the press has mostly ignored this.

Most of the time, sure. Sometimes they win in spite of their goalie... Chris Osgood *cough cough*

I once visited St. Louis when they won the president's trophy (the last time :D), and I even was in the stadium when they got it handed over, also I still have that official t-shirt. My "tourist guide" was Marco Athie, maybe some of you know him, maybe not. today I still say this one little week was one of the best vacation times I ever had, and I still tell friends about it. if I remember correctly, I think that I met some other people from the forum here, one guy was called zack, and another was blueline29.

Some insane statistics for Vasilevsky in series deciding games.

GP 7
GA 1
SV% .995
GAA 0.14
6 Shutouts

That's clutch goaltending.

McDavid''s OT series deciding goal versus Calgary - the Flames Hanifin made an absolutely horrible play on the puck behind the goalline while Draisaitl and McDavid executed the dump, forecheck, recover, pass, score thing perfectly. Yes, McDavid dumped the puck behind the goalline in OT, instead of carrying the puck into the zone.

I wasn’t sure where to post this, this thread seems as good as any.

Is Ivan Fedotov still alive? First he goes home to Russia to get his visa worked out, gets arrested, forced to enlist, gets sick while enlisting and now they can’t find him. Did Putin order his execution?

Looks like the Avs have decided to rely on backup goalies next season, since they have their Cup.

Traded 3 picks to Rangers for Georgiev and won't re-sign Kuemper.
