Elliott was strong. A good sign. Let's hope it continues and he stays healthy...

How the fork does Elliott not get the #1 star. As if it matters. But if you're going to have it and give it out, make it legit... Anybody that thinks Elliott was not the most valuable player out there wasn't watching the game...

Officiating was the usual joke. Not much can be said about it that hasn't been covered.

Lots of good hitting and finishing checks but like ls said, they need to work for more quality scoring chances. Too many passes in the offensive zone at times. A few more SOG's and swarming the net plays. And it isn't going to get any easier with Keith coming back for the next game... As much as he is a douche, he is a damn good player...

And give the Hawks credit, they smothered the Blues coming into the zone and got several good chances off of their transition game. They are also smothering Tarasenko. A pretty good strategy...

Fully agree with griffin regarding Berglund. He's the exception for Ott. I don't care what they're paying him, if he can't be any more effective then he is, play someone else, anyone else. How a guy can make it to the NHL, have his size, his God-given talent and be that invisible, is beyond me. And as soon as you say that, he has one of his rare good games. Maybe it will be the next game. Is it wrong to hope for a minor injury to him that causes him to miss the rest of the playoffs?

No predictions from me. Just going to enjoy the ride. No reason the Blues can't win this series. It is just a matter of execution and will to win...

Go Berglund!!

Go Blues!!!

Correction: One prediction. Berglund is the #1 star of the Friday night game...
