I am really fighting the urge to declare the series over. It sure felt like it last night after the way that game ended.

I feel deflated. The blues never cease to amaze in the ways they can break your heart. I guess we can always point to that game 7 win against the blackhawks in, what, 2016 as a great memory. The rest is just...blah. Obviously not over, but I'm not optimistic.

That said, the flames are down 2-1 and not guaranteed to survive the first round, the Sharks are down 3-1, they won the season series against the Preds. If the Blues can survive this series, they're probably not far from being favorites to win the West.

I just talked myself into thinking they can win it all despite not thinking they can even beat the Jets.

It is a 2-out-of-3 situation now. The Jets have only really outplayed the Blues in 1 game so far. I feel pretty deflated too, but winning this series is just as easy today as it was from the beginning.

Bottom line is we have to find a way to neutralize the jets' top line. They're killing us.

Last night sucked, but if you would have told me before the series that it would be 2-2 after 4, I'd have taken it. The Jets are good. It happens. They have adjusted to the Blues. Blues need to adjust back. We will see.

I had a good bit of stubble going before the playoffs started, so I decided to give the playoff beard thing a try.

Now, keep in mind, I'm 43 and can't grow a full beard for sh!t. But I wanted to get on the bandwagon.

It's itchy, looks like cr@p, and we've lost two in a row...

SHAVE IT?

In general, I don't belong anywhere near a hockey thread. But I thought I could be helpful by sharing this from one of my favorite bands. There's no chorus, really, just the line "I -- Hate -- ...":

Lol.....I've learned to have zero expectations when it comes to the Blues. But the "if you would have told me....." lines crack me up.... after going up 2-0 and the Blues started doing their normal thing I first heard "if......we'd be up 2-1 after 3 I'd be ecstatic", now its "if.....we'd be tied 2-2 after 4 I'd have taken it"

What's the line if they go down 3-2?

Probably the same line I give after every playoff loss.

[expletive] Blues. [expletive] [expletive]. Same [expletive] every [expletive] year. [expletive] you, you miserable [expletive].

I hope we win Saturday.
