The Blues totally controlled probably 50 minutes of game 1 and 40 minutes of game 2. The difference continues to be goaltending. Binnington was better tonight than last game but Markstrom has simply been much better. If he doesn't hold them in it they're losing this thing 2-0 instead of the reverse.

Canucks are now 6-0-2 vs Blues over the regular season and playoffs the last 2 seasons combined. Blues have been dominant in terms of possession in all these games but this is quite a large sample size. I know regular season doesn’t always mean anything but still.
