CDSF- (2)Blues vs (3)Blackhawks (Blues win 4-3)

[Samonadreau]

2 of the most underrated goalies in the league.

[Henry Fool]

Blues can't shoot the puck apart from Taransenko.

[JJ1532]

A good game this. No goals but a very watchable clash of 2 heavy hitting teams. You can see why the Hawks have won so many play off games, they mesh together the technical ability and physical toughness so well. Very few teams can out skill them and out hit them.

Hope this one goes to OT, do love a bit of play off OT hockey.

Did I hear right when the announcers said that Tarasenko is 225lbs?

[Henry Fool]

Don't know much about the Blues but they kind of look like the same old Blues to me. I doubt they will score in this game. Maybe on the OT if they can get there.

That's what I heard too.

Here is the top 50 longest overtime hockey games.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overti...overtime_games

The 50th longest was between the Blues and Blackhawks just two years ago. Steen scored the winning goal 26 seconds into the third overtime.

This series will be close until it goes back to Chicago and that's when the Hawks take over.

The Hawks throw the least hits in the league. They've thrown more than usual tonight because it's game 1 of the playoffs, but they will average less hits per game than any other team in the playoffs, almost without question.

Blues are having a really hard time getting any offensive pressure

There's been maybe half of a scoring chance all period. These teams defend with all 5. Impressive

The visiting team Hawks are defending without their best defender though.

Yea, the guy is huge. And it's not because he likes cheeseburgers.

Excellent.

Remember to kiss your loved ones good bye and enter that two month playoff bubble. Make sure that extra beer is stocked, have coffee on stand bye, plenty of munchies and gum next to the couch, and ENJOY!
