NBC is gross and terrible. Nothing but "Blues sloppy play during the 1st"

Then "Blues can't play defense, Stars offense is superior"

but Elliot is shutting them down?

They did this poo poo in the Chicago series, too. We traded power play goals in a period, and the intermission headline was "Blues lack of discipline costs them"

They were right about the sloppiness, though, and then the Blues went back to their usual lines and surprise surprise they actually play like they know what they're supposed to do now.

I get it, it's the playoffs. But I get the sense the refs would turn a blind eye if someone got murdered on the ice today.

Ritchie has looked lost at times. Giving him another start was not wise, but hindsight, 20/20, etc.

"Blues have been bad in the 2nd period!"

Yeah well the Stars have been worse.

Demers looks like he's playing hurt, the Blues know it, and are abusing Oduya as a result. Not good.

Dallas is pretty good at the whole late comeback thing, and finally starting to put real pressure on the Blues bottom pair. Don't touch that dial!

Demers, Russel, and Oduya have all been complete poo poo this entire playoffs. Nill's only responsibility this off season is to replace two of those three with better players. Luckily two of those three have their contracts expiring so that's the first step taken care of.

Watch Dallas management (which has always been poo poo at UFA signings) bring on Rob Scuderi or Brooks Orpik though. This team can't help but shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to filling in the edges of the roster.

Unfortunately that's been bracketed by Johnny Oduya and Sergei Gonchar as major signings.

Blues fans inferiority complex will never get old.

The Stars D being utter dogshit is not news. Its pretty common knowledge actually so talking about it would be pointless.

Also Elliott hasnt really faced anything that could resemble pressure. Dallas has 16 SOG, the majority of which have been harmless and unscreened (admittedly I missed the first period so maybe they got 1 or 2 there?).
