GDT WCF Gm 3: 5/15/19 | 7 PM CT | vs Sharks | NBCSN

[Portland Blues]

Man I'd feel a lot better if we could get another here.

[ibldbl]

Schwartz misses the empty net. Gotta score there

[ibldbl]

(Frank)!

[Portland Blues]

Good lord...

[ibldbl]

Stayed back too much IMO

[Robb_K]

Again we see why The Blues should practise shooting 3-zone shots so they could seal a lot more games with a lot more empty-netters. Schwartz should have scored on his.

[glen a richter]

What a load of shit, this damn team.

[heff]

This team steps on their own (Franking) dicks all the time.

[Portland Blues]

A great 18 minutes and then with 2 minutes to go they blow it. Couldn't get 55 back out there because of the lame icings.

It's going be a crusher if they lose this one.

[ibldbl]

Hand pass!

[ibldbl]

Guess it can't be challenged, and we get it right in the ass again

[Portland Blues]

God damn, we can't just lose we have to lose by a goal that shouldn't even count. FML.

[JCShutout]

There's the kick to the nuts I come to expect over 30 years of fandom. /Series

[gaijin]

Horseshit.

[flyingnote38]

All I can say is wow

of course I wouldn't mind if somebody let the Blues know its ok to
1) shoot INTO an empty net to seal the game away and
2) hit Karlson on occasion like when he's skating the puck along the blue line

EVEN if you weren't cheated. But, when you are cheated, it's so much worse. The Blues need to be angry, and play the rest of this series determined not to let THE NHL officials take it away from them. Of course, the bigger problem is that they are one of the worst teams at scoring empty-net goals. This game should never have gone to OT.

[Robb_K]

The only thing I can conclude over these 50 years is that ALL Blues' fans were ax murderers in their previous lives.

[Portland Blues]

Not sure we've had a kick to the nads like this one before. Kudos to the hockey gods for always finding a new way to make us suffer as Blues fans.

Joannette officiated this game. The Blues are 0-4 when he calls Blues games. San Jose is 6-1 when he calls Sharks games. But this is supposedly just a coincidence.

I was furious last night to the point it took about an hour or so of calming down time before I could even think about trying to go to sleep. What a crushing loss.

Loved the comeback in the late 1st/2nd periods. Way to pour it on.

YOU HAVE TO FINISH OFF GOOD TEAMS. As with game 7 in Dallas where we nearly (and should have) lost that game in OT, you can't keep letting good teams stick around. You need to step on their throat and finish it out. Blues had 2 Grade-A scoring chances from Schenn and Perron even before the goalie was pulled. Even if you don't score on that EN, flipping box out the front of your net!!! You guys are absolutely right, the game shouldn't have even gone to OT.

Yup, it was a hand pass. Nope, the refs didn't see it. I'm sure once they saw the replay they were crushed they missed the call. I can't fathom how video review isn't expanded this offseason after the postseason we've just had.

Blues gave that one away. They had it in their grip and they couldn't finish it.
