I’m baffled why we are giving free rein for Blue players to stand in front of CH. Baffling.

[captaincanuck12]

Jets pp..   Gabe wizardry needed.  

[iHeart]

you can get a penalty for Embellishment??! there should be refs in there box then LOL

 

and we have a hariboo Goldbears penalty with 3 Blues in the box

[Piggy 1]

Jets are a joke....

[iHeart]

EL FRICKIN NINO NOW KEEP THIS LEAD!!!!

Refs are suspect to say the least. Like I’m pretty sure they bought and paid for. Anti Canadian thing cuz caps were running Habs to no calls then habs get called for BS like the jets. It’s painfully obvious some funny business going on there.

Little things. Not even the penalties but what they do and do not call icing. 

[captaincanuck12]

Perfs gets away with a spear on Boulduc.   

[captaincanuck12]

The reffing just sucks as usual.  

Master class pk by the Jets.

St Louis is afraid of Gabe.  They weren't nearly as aggressive as they have been on the PK.

Annnnnnnddddd huge save by Hellebuyck on the odd man rush.

I know the Blues are paying special attention to JM but he doesn’t seem right. My guess he’s playing hurt. 

Mason Appleton is making it way too easy on the Blues. He’s so easy to be bodied off the puck. He’s gotta play tougher.

Hopefully NN gets going now with that goal.

Keep at JB, traffic and violence in front of him.

Hes a ***** ,who cant stand the contact.

[iHeart]

welcome back Vilardi.....now can we please stop tipping the It's so Over/we're so back scales...and stay at we're so back

[captaincanuck12]

Something is clearly wrong with Hellebuyck.  Goaltending were supposed to have the edge.   But geeze.   That second goal was ******* brutal.

Jets are playing well.   He needs to step up now!

[HardCoreBlue]

Faska and Schenn having their way with our best players with absolutely no push back from the Jet players. This is a Chevy issue.

Mason Appleton continues to give up pucks, gets bodies easy and loses lpuck battles.
