Esa Lindell fell like he'd been shot, the Blooz continue their hot streak in 2019 and are up a game.

Heiskanen remains the most impressive thing about these playoffs. Stars can win a Cup sooner rather than later with a Miro-Esa-Kling defence corps. They just need a 4th who isn't Polak.

Monty probably had a talk with Esa after the flop that literally cost them the game.

St. Louis looked like the superior team for most of the contest. I think they make it to the Final at least.

Back in January, the Blues were literally a bad week away from trading Tarasenko.

Let this be a lesson to stay the course and not blow things up. Keep adding (ROR and Bozak are solid) and switch goalies before it's too late.

Not to mention ditching your hand-picked Hitch successor when things were clearly not working.

I'm quite surprised Berube is working out so well, he didn't really impress his first chance with the Flyboys. But then again, he didn't have the goaltending then, now he does.

Jordan Binnington has to be about the craziest rise of a goalie I can recall in recent memory. He started out the season #4 on the depth chart behind Jake Allen, Chad Johnson, and Ville Husso.

Is it sad that the winner of this game 7 seems insignificant....


I'd be shocked if the Western Conference champ isn't the winner of tomorrow night's game 7

BLOOZ!

I'm happy for Pat Maroon. Hometown boy took a discount to play in St. Loo, struggled all season, but then pots the big series clincher and goes from goat to hero. He deserved it.

Also happy for Blues super fans Jon Hamm and Jenna Fischer.

Utter domination by the Blues throughout games 7 but just squeak out the 2OT winner due to some heroic goaltending by Bish. The Stars had something like 9 shots on goal through the first 50 minutes of the game.

The better team won out. Whoever wins the last remaining semifinal series will have their work cut out for them.

Still unbelievable that this team was DEAD LAST in the entire league just a few months ago.

Washington broke their longtime goose egg last year. Maybe now it's St. Louis' turn?

Agree. Feels like this is the Blues moment to be freed from the Sad Club. The Sad Club is defined as NHL franchises that have been in the same market for 40 years or longer (apologies Winnipeg and Minnesota) and never tasted sweet Stanley Cup victory in their history.

The Capitals were full, pain-sharing members until last season. And then there were three: the Buffalo Sabres, the St. Louis Blues, and of course, the Vancouver Canucks.

Vegas? Or are we only looking at long suffering teams?

Yeah, just the long-suffering ones. I mean, San Jose hasn't won one either in the 20 years they've been in existence but I'd hardly say they're in the same boat as those first expansion teams who haven't won it all yet.
