I am not near the astute analyst as bubba is, but you are not going to compete in many games when you have a 2:00 power play and get 1 shot on goal and then another 2:00 power play and get 2 shots on goal.
Shooting the puck is key!

They all showed up for most of it.
Jake Allen .......if he didn't steal it it was dang close.
And how bout that Backes games changing save? And a hell of a game. Reed Lowe afterwards said he was one of the best Captains in the league. bwaaaaaaaaaaaa..............but I'll digress to our resident goofballs calling for his head.
Senko showing to be the money player he is.
It's going to go all 7 I guess. Who really knows when it comes to this heartbreaking team.

Once when my old man (he was the local bookie) had to payout for Texas beating OU in football, he was asked why Texas won.
The old man replied
"Their ninjas wanted to win more than our ninjas"
I think that pretty well sums up the Wild vs Blues in this series

Seriously? Are you trolling? Because if you're serious.. Dude you need to quit using what you're confiscating! I think Steve Durbano had more offensive skills than that putz. Ott played in 78 games this season and had 12 whole points. Wow! He was a -8. But that was better than last year after he came over in the trade and played in 23 games and had THREE whole points and was a -12. He's a minus player in the playoffs.. again. I'm not sure what he was doing on the breakaway but I think the idea of actually scoring freaked him out. I think other teams for the most part just laugh at his stupid azz.

I have watched damn near every game of this year's playoffs so far. Without a doubt the Blues/Wild series is the most boring, lifeless series going at this time.
Without Steve Ott there would be NOTHING about this series to watch.

Scott are you still thinking that this is all on the players? That Hitchcock is not culpable at all?

I seriously think these guys do not know how to play smart and tough, with high intensity. They can play smart at times. They play with high intensity at times. They can act and even behave like their tough at times. But they don't seem to have a clue how to play all three at the same time. Backes plays as hard as anyone most of the time. But he doesn't have clue how to play smart with that intensity. He flies around like a human pinball and wants to get into scrums every other play. That's dumb. When he plays like that, he's useless. And it isn't just him. Most of the team plays that way (using Backes as an example because he is the Captain and because I know last stand will have a cow when he sees his beloved hero being criticized). I've never seen a defense play so loose and sloppy in the playoffs. They back off the blueline and give waaaaay to much space up when defending. The offense is slow and lazy coming back to support and the forecheck is all but nonexistent. This is not what got them to the playoffs and it damn sure isn't going to get them to advance...
There is still a good chance to win this series but it will take some serious changes in the way they are playing. I am hopeful but not sure if I am optimistic.

Hitchcock was out-coached in Game 1 and that was certainly part of the many problems, in that game. He was not the problem last night. That was 100% on the players.

I guess we will find out tonight if this team has ANY heart. Part of me is very skeptical. The core of this team has been together now for while. They are 9 - 15 in their last 4 playoff series. I firmly believe with this team that it is not a talent issue but a "heart and will" issue. For whatever reason I don't think Hitchcock gets to them. I don't think his personality is one of being a motivator.

He just coached a lot better last night. He taught Reaves how to score on 50 foot slap shots! One game played like that is nice and I hope that is a sign of things to come.. but color me doubtful..

Sportsmn, as I said to you earlier, there's about 3 guys that could have been Captain of this team this year imo. Backes is one of them, he's the forkin Captain of this team, and he is also NOT the forkin problem. I know you just got griffin to hop on the back of the turnip truck to join you in your never ending obsession, but give it the fork up. It has zero to do with anything you are trying to say it does.
IIFID, I'm not crazy about everything Hitch does but this broken record schitzoid thingy dates back before Hitch. And Payne. To Murray.
I'm takin a wild hunch. This off season, no matter the playoff result, it's either going to be Hitch or Oshie that comes back, not both.
I know who I pick.
It's the Blues that have won the 2 games they had to. Time to win one just to win. Time to take 2 of 3 the right way.

For all of the dumb crap you post.....THAT is not a wild hunch....it's a certainty.
My hunch is that a decision won't really have to be made....this is Hitchcock's last year behind the bench, any bench, no matter the outcome of the playoffs.
