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?
If you'd told me on January 1, 2019 that the Blues would even be in the Playoffs then I'd have taken it.

I can do this all day when it comes to the Blues. Even if I don't really believe it myself, I'm pretty good at coming up with some BS.

Its true for me. A buddy asked me who I thought would win. I said I had no clue but I figured it would go 6 or 7.

After we went up 2-0, yeah, it sucks that we lost 2, but 2-2 isn't bad against a damn good team. If the Jets would have focused on how much it sucked being down 2-0, they probably wouldn't have won the next 2. Take what you can get and focus on what is in front of you.

If Winnipeg wins the line is, "Being down 3-2 sucks. They need to win."

They are down 2-0 after the 1st. The line is, "this sucks, they need to score goals and win this game, or else the odds of a series win is very low."

There is a BIG difference between 2-2 and 2-3.

Killing that 4 minute penalty was big. Score on the PP starting the 3rd, and I’ll hold out hope for this game.

Yeah, the Blues need to get one back early and then keep the foot on the gas.

Another good kill after a BS penalty. Need to grind out some quality shifts and get some puck luck.

If you would have told me it would be 2-2 in game 5 of a 2-2 series, I'd have taken it. ;-P
