Soft goal by Helle and absolutely no box out of Blue players in front of Helle. They’re having their way yet again. 

Blues have like 12 13 shots. 4 goals. Helle has made like 5 or 6 spectacular saves. It’s not him. Nevermind. They have 23 shots. Jets have 11. Christ. 
 

5 1. Lovely giveaway.

No chance on 3 of 4 but ffs 11 shots, 4 against. **** off with this crap. Oh ya here we go. Morrissey goes to the box. lol. 

Why are the blues allowed to play music during the play? 

The whistle blew and the players didn’t hear it and continued playing.

Omfg.

Not all but some for sure. 

Appleton being offside by 5 feet is the turning point. 

Jets last shot was 8 minutes ago and now the blues fans are calling penalties. But Stanley you **** head. That’s dumb down 5 1. 

St. Louis has 5 goals. Jets have 11 shots. Jesus. These guys have just collapsed. 

Actually doubling jets in shots now. 

1 1 and the shots were 11 11 at that point. 22 11 after 2. No shot for 10 minutes. Implosion of epic proportions.

I don't know how you just keep letting in these garbage goals. Yeah he's probably made a couple of spectacular saves but what the hell? Can you not do this consistently. That third goal was the back breaker.  The whole team just deflated.  

I'm going to watch this s*** show but I have zero hope of winning this series now. We have no offense and if our goaltending is shaky, we're going to be in for another quick exit 

Sure could have used a time out after the 3rd goal...

or 4th goal...

or 5th goal...

 

It's actually just funny at this point. You know the home ice advantage thing isn't going to last forever... I had hoped that would be tonight but now I'm almost certain it's Sunday.

I hate the Blues arena so much

Is it normal that the #1 team in the league gets blown out and struggle to get past a 1st round of the play offs....   I would of expected us to handle the first few series with ease.

Not sure how either Jets or Blues can go more than 5 games against the Avalanche or Stars. 

This team actually reminds me of Vancouver back in the day when they had Bobby Liu.  Just could not get over the hump.  They had that one series where they almost lost to Chicago in seven games... But somehow made it to the cup  final only to lose in game 7.

Its happened 7 times. Boston in 2023 & Tampa in 2019 are the latest examples.

St. Louis is a beast at home. Haven’t lost in gonna be 14 games. Jets had a brutal 10 minutes and that seems to be a theme in St. Louis. Good thing game 7 is here but nervous vibes be a thing.

They going to 7 also tho. 
 

central division of death. 

No quit tonight. Nino makes it 5 2. 

It’s 5 2 but this one feels different. Jets aren’t being blown out. They had 10 12 minutes that Cost them 4 goals and the game. Outside of that, and without the number 1 center and lw since KC does nothing without 55, I think they have played a solid road game.

I kinda see what you're seeing ... But tbh I dont think STL is playing 100% after delivering yet another blowout win.

They were tho up until start of the 3rd. First and the first 10 minutes were even. Last 10 of the 2nd wasn’t. 3rd is garbage time. The other pluses are the pp is currently 2 for 5 and pk is perfect going a ridiculous 7 for 7. 
 

I don’t think the problem on d is fixable tho. Kinda double downed on it signing pionk long term. He gets pushed around easily in this series. So is Josh. Schenn is a disaster as is Stanley. Samberg ? He’s ok. Demelo being pushed around also. 

Edited May 3, 2025May 3 by Goalie

Put out Toni and tell him to run a guy

I’d be ok if Schenn announces his retirement after the series. Luke, cuz he is cooked unfortunately 

Edited May 3, 2025May 3 by Goalie

Well it's game 7.   Jets are 1-0 in game 7s.   2 PP goals tonight.

I really hope they show up.

Hope 55 is ready to go. 
 

not sure what you do on D tho. Schenn is not having a good series. Even worse than Stanley really and he’s had giveaways to the slot every game. Miller in for Schenn?? 
 

wonder what’s wrong with Lowry and Josh tho. Both seem honestly like they are playing through some serious injuries themselves. Captain has been invisible. Josh just looks sluggish and slow.

The score indicates that yes they are being blown out.

If you're not watching the games you'd think that....

They've had bad SECTIONS of games... And can't recover. If they can keep it close, they win. Usually. Personally I think they lose a tight one at home Sunday. 

I'll give Comrie this, at least he didn't let any more goals in.
