Game 6: Blues@Jets


Recommended Posts

Refs were awful, how is that a penalty to Buff, ridiculous really, clean hit, puck in the guys feet, just nailed him clean. Jets have an image problem it seems, they are big fast and play physical, just like Boston was, but unlike Boston, the Jets don't get away with their clean hits. Ridiculous. Blues owned them tho the last 2 periods, 1 2 4 5 shots in the third isn't gonna cut it really. Too bad, good game ruined by piss poor bush league reffing.

It almost seems like... if one team gets 6 or 7 powerplays, regardless of what happens on the ice, the refs will try their hardest to give the other team 6 or 7 powerplays also.. That's not how it's supposed to be tho.. Lots of missed calls this game, both ways but the 3rd was definitely the refs favoring st louis.. I mean, perfect example is the Buff Hit, clean, puck there, very clean... afterwards the St Louis D man punches buff a couple times, buff sends him flying, upshall comes in and gets decked also... all 3 should have got penalties on that play... but it was a good example of the refs favoring st louis. Personally, i don't think Buffs hit was a penalty but since it was called one, upshall should have got roughing and an instigator and the D man buff destroyed should have got a roughing call also. 

 

it was 2 on 1 for christs sake and buff is the one that gets the extra penalty? Bullcrap. 

 

Wonder if playing Peluso for 5 minutes was worth sitting Petan who plays on the 2nd powerplay with Scheif and Ehlers... lots of PP chances, all 6 goals scored in the game came on the PP actually, but... gotta think that maybe just maybe Petan playing on the 2nd pp instead of Burmi, and nothing against Burmi here at all but.. perhaps it makes a difference. 

 

Peluso did nothing all game.

Yup, and on the delayed penalty call to the Jets, where St Louis eventually scored, Perreault was tripped.. No call. 

 

Also the icing call against the Jets when Buff was interfered with by Bouwmeester... not a penalty but the icing should have been waved off.

 

Lots of really bullcrap missed calls, both ways for sure but... really seemed like the refs favored st louis in the third big time.

With all that said tho, the Jets failed to capitalize on their chances and the blues did...  If not for Pavelec, this game probably not as close as it was. Strong game from Pav again. looks really good this year.. When did the Jets forget to play D tho? That's troubling. They aren't playing like that team from last year just yet.

Wheeler with a 6 game point streak. D play isn't about goals against... it's about chances. St Louis had 41 shots. If our goalie didn't stand on his head for parts of this game.. it's an ass wooping. Same vs the isles. Dominated but Pav made the score seem closer. Our D as a team is lacking right now big time

Agreed. Ladd looked slow and gassed. Not sure if it's rust injury related or what but Ladd hasn't looked right. He's the anchor on that line right now in my opinion. Holding the other 2 back big time and dare I say not worth 6.5 million on a long term deal
