Round 2 Update: Blues vs. Oilers
-----------------------------------

Game 3: The series shifts to Edmonton tied 1-1. In the first, the Blues take a bad tripping call and a shot from the point deflects to Steven Stamkos in the slot who fires a wrist shot into the top corner that Thomas doesn't even have time to move on. In the second, the Blues even it up - Tyler Kennedy wins the draw back to Henrik Tallinder who fires a shot on net, and Kennedy tucks in the rebound. The Oil go back on top by one after Tallinder pokes the puck away from Taylor Hall and it slides past Thomas into the Blues net. In the third, Luca Sbisa, under pressure from Ovechkin, drops the puck back into his own end, where Marion Hossa picks it up and tucks it five hole on price to tie the game at two. In overtime, the Blues manage a series of one-timer chances in the slot but are unable to beat Price on any of them. Finally, Hossa gets a rebound with a wide open 6x4... only to see Price dive across the net to stop the unstoppable shot. The play goes down the other end, and the Oilers score to win the game on a weak tip in shot that Thomas said after the game he wished he could have back.

(Editor's note: almost threw my controller at the TV. No way Hossa misses that. Then it goes down to my end, my d-man bounces off his guy and the next half-assed wrist shot gets tipped in. The AI took the game away and gave it to Tagg3r. But that goes both ways some times.)

Game 4: The Blues need a win to avoid going back to St. Louis down two games and facing elimination. Early in the first, Spezza steals the puck and goes 5 hole on price for the 1-0 lead. The Oilers would get a full 2 minutes of 5 on 3 shortly thereafter, but were unable to capitalize after some good penalty killing, largely by Tyler Kennedy. Minutes later, Hossa takes the puck from the corner and weaves his way around 3 Oilers before cutting back and stuffing it shot short side for the 2 zip lead. In the second, Tyler Kennedy and Matt Stajan widen the gap to 4-0. Marc Staal would later add to the score and the rout was on. The final score was 6-0, Thomas making up for his gaffe in game 3 in overtime by posting his second shutout of the series, which is now tied at 2 games apiece.

(Editor's note: see, it DOES go both ways. The game decided that I got whatever I wanted in this one, I couldn't lose. The Staal goal was a backhander from the corner into Price's feet that bounced off him and in, that should tell you what it was like.)
