Great start to the Blues/Canucks series!

I thought that Markstrom outplayed Binnington by a wide margin, the Cannots looked quicker, faster, and did more to help out their goalie than St. Louis did. David Perron can eat my wrinkly old ass - Petterson is getting the crap beat out of him at every turn. 3/6 on the PP - hopefully, this takes the starch out of the Blues' forecheck.

Man alive, though, Quinn Hughes is fun to watch. This game was Horvat's and so far, Pearson, JT Miller, and yes, even Myers, Beagle, Sutter, and Erikkson have been very good (I hate to give credit to JB) have been great supporting pieces to the young guys.

Markstrom's movements have been pretty clean and efficient these last few games. It looked like St. Louis tested him early on the sharp angle shots but couldn't find the top corner like Minnesota did. He's still prone to wandering too much for my taste... Not sure if Toffoli will get back into the lineup; the Cannots are undefeated with Erikkson and Shotgun Jake in the lineup

Biggest surprise for me has definitely been Sutter, think it's the best he's ever looked as a Canuck, still not worth what we're paying him but...Fingers crossed the powerplay and Markstrom can keep performing like they did in Game 1, if so we really have a chance. Great to get the "away" win as well.

anyone know what the go is with Shorthouse not doing the games? must be killing him not to be

I think because they have a limited number of broadcasters in the bubble with only two locations in play. Just guessing though.

Isles (and Rangers for 3 games) announcers have stayed in NY and watched the live feed from Toronto on a huge TV. They just add play by play audio while the NHL adds the "fan" audio.

The Nucks may have lost game three, but they knocked out the star goalie, so I think the Blues feel they're on the ropes.

3rd game in 4 nights. Going to be tough to take this game from the Knights. On the other hand I like this no travel. It actually seems pretty fair if you knock off a team quick, you get to rest. If not, then this is the price you pay.

When Rousell and Gaudette are the two forwards I see consistently doing good and the rest of the forwards are pretty much unnoticeable well its not going to go very well. I hope last night was just a symptom of fatigue and not reflective of a vast difference in team quality.

$2.55 million annually for a 21 goal pro-rated player seems really good.

I still think he's just a big dum-dum but that's a pretty sensible contract for both sides.

Not exactly thrilling news but who else are they going to play in their top six - Little Things Loui?

You know things are bleak when JV represents the lesser of several evils...
