Has Binnington’s bubble burst?

Yes. That is all I am rooting for 

[I.Am.Ironman]

I begrudgingly am cheering for the SJS for the sole reason of them having the best chance to beat Boston.

Not a good look for the blues to allow 6 goals against their synth

Nope. Guy let in 6 against the Jets as well and it did not phase him. This game has not been his fault at all. He'll bounce back.

Blues tried to send a message early with big hits but that was a byproduct of them chasing the game all night. Pretty convincing win for the sharks

Jets had a convincing win over the Blues too

[*Buzzsaw*]

Firepower

Speed

Backcheck

That was the difference.

Sharks have so many more weapons... their team speed is much better... and all their forwards were really responsible defensively... they all kept to their system.

Blues will not last long until they find a way to deal with the multi-line offensive threats San Jose can send at them.

And the Sharks are not even clicking with all their weapons.... Kane can put up much better points.  If he breaks out and has a game, which he is due for, then St Louis could be steamrollered.

 

The Blues game plan was obviously to hit everything that moves and wear down the Sharks... but San Jose is a big team and they can physically deal with a hitting game.

San Jose has a boatload more experience and plays very different than the Peg. Then you have 2 of the very top d men in the league.  Burns was an absolute machine out there.  St Louis isn't going to go away easy and will get 2/3 wins but I don't see them winning after tonight. Could happen though

And by the way... despite what Erik Karlsson said in the post game interview, he is not at 100%.

 

Maybe mostly healed, but not up to the level of play he was showing midway through the season before his injury.

 

Still got a point and played over 26:00, but he can get better.

Good thing Burns is playing like the best in the world since about 1/3 way through the season.

During a game there was a miscue between karlsson and Dillon.  Maybe I’m biased because I like dillons game but anyways;

 

dillon stepped up at the blue line and got caught.  The fwd had the step on ek and scored.  Ek followed Dillon to the bench yelling at him and waving his hands etc - continued the tirade while sitting on the bench.

 

during the first few minutes of the game Comfer had taken a healthy run at ek and Dillon immediately engaged comfer, grabbing and challenging him.

 

im sorry but I don’t want any player on the Canucks that would come in new to a club and publicly berate an established team veteran.

 

punk move.  You think Dillon steps up for ek again?

irony also being how many times EK has been burned in these playoffs.. I've been watching all the sharks games, with the intent of watching Karlsson. He definitely brings an explosive offensive element, but either he's not over that last injury, or his Norris days are well behind him.  

 

Unless his injuries are causing just a temporary setback, I honestly don't think he's a #1 D anymore.. 

[Ghostsof1915]

Giants 1 Raiders 0, Second period!!!

[rekker]

I was on the sign EK bandwagon but not anymore. Hughes can fill the offensive D role moving forward just fine. 

[combover]

Gary galley makes it impossible to listen to the game. 

Hes just brutal. Surprised the play by  play guy is like “ hey Gary STFU!!!”
