    Was at the game.

     

    The Blues play a stifling trap game.  They were positionally sound, blocking shots, and getting sticks in the way.  It was frustrating.   That was near playoff style hockey as you can get.

     

     

    Think the above post most accurately describes what I thought.  They neutralized nux strengths really well.  Once they scored, they were content to just keep the pressure off their end. PK was quite effective too.

    So you’re saying that Blues outplayed the Canucks then?  Cause I could probably count the blues chances on one hand tonight.  If the Canucks had a hard time generating then the Blues couldn’t do anything against us.

    You mean the team we beat Oct. 17?

    Was a shootout win that went on forever. 

     

    That was a character win game coming back down 3-1.  Think it really gave nux belief that they can compete with the best.  But Blues are playing better now,  was on a 4 game win streak, now 5 and leading the West.   I think they are a level above nux still.  But that is not a knock on nux.  They have improved so much this yr and should be able to get into playoffs if they stay healthy enough.

    Well at worst you’d have to say they played an even game which is pretty damn good to do against the defending champs and top of the West but that’s not what I saw.  Canucks outshot them, outchanced them, and really should have outscored them if not for dumb luck tonight

    I didnt say they had a bad game.  It was evident they had a tougher time to play their style vs a big experienced team compared to bottom tier teams.  That's why they didn't score 5 again.  Binnington didn't make many awesome saves. The blues D were effective at taking away pt shots until QH got one. 

     

    Overall they competed every shift, and deserved the point tonight.  Obviously Blues is the type of team that will be very tough to beat in a 7 game series.  It shows how far they came since last couple of yrs and they are getting closer to the top teams.  But to say they outplayed the blues in this game is incorrect.  The game vs Dux, yes.
