If this covid crap never happened I'd be behind them 100% and would think they had a chance to get to the final.
As it is.....if they just dragged up and said fork this chit I will have no problem with it.
This is just dumb.
I have to say, it isn't must watch hockey for me. And I agree this is a forked up format. DA did not build this team for this sort of format. It is built for an 82 game grind and a an even more grueling playoffs. This is much more of a track meet.
I have always bagged on the NHL officiating and think it is one of of the key items that hold the NHL back. But the last few weeks have hit a new low. Between the horrific ice conditions and the terrible officiating, these games are hard to watch. I'm sure it would be a little easier if the Blues were up 2-0 but I even struggle watching other games, as I am want to do. NHL hockey simply shouldn't be played on bad ice. And nobody should have to play with officiating this bad...
I'll still give them a 1 in 5 shot, if they win the next game. But this is really shaping up to be a 4 or 5 game series.
