Every was set up perfectly for a Cup win in Game 6 .... perhaps too perfectly. For whichever reason (we have a few guesses), the Blues didn't get it done. However, there remains another chance in Game 7. The same prize awaits us there. Onward to Boston. Let's Go Blues.

Is this reality? Or are we trippin' ? The Blues just never stop leaving us dumbfounded. Every game is leading us to experiences we've never had before. This one is one more example. One more win down, and one more win to go. Play Gloria. Let's Go Blues

That .... that was an emotional win. We can only imagine what it was like for the players ... but as a fan, that was SO deeply satisfying. We try to put it into words, and at the same time knowing full well that words alone can't do justice to this moment. Play Gloria Let's Go Blues

A storm blew through St Louis, and dumped a lot of rain on what should have been a lot of fans watching the game outside on blankets. Instead, the Blues took a dump and was the wet blanket on tonight's excitement. It was not good. Yet, it's important to remember that this is just one game. Game 4 awaits.

First Cup Final Win in Franchise History. Soak it in ... and then get ready for the next one. The Blues finally played THEIR game tonight, and yielded a historic win. And, just as everyone predicted, the OT hero was ... Carl Gunnarsson? Of course it was. Play Gloria, and celebrate. This was a long time coming, and there's more to come.

Not the result we were looking for, but that was not a shock either. The Blues started off great but then found themselves in penalty trouble. Most of the problems were self-inflicted, which means they can be fixed. To be continued. Let's Go Blues!

You know what happened. Listen to us try to wrap our heads around this moment... and fail.Ya know ... that's a good problem to have right now. Let's Go Blues

What a Game. We're not *there* yet, but it's pretty damn close. After just scraping by in Game 4, the Blues take charge in Game 5 and leave with a hattie, a shutout, and a 3-2 series lead. It's a good time to be a Blues fan.

That's more like it! The Blues game out blazing in the first period and. built a lead that that allowed a win to tie the series. Now we head back to SJ for Game 5. Much love to the third and fourth lines. We wander off on a few tangents, but the bottom line is - Play Gloria. LGB!

Imagine being speechless and also recording a podcast. Something like that. An otherwise pretty fantastic game that ended, well ... like THAT. Regroup for Game 4. Let's Go Blues!

Now THAT'S more like it! The Blues score 2 goals, then give up 2, but then pull things together to eventually secure the win and tie the series. We now bring things back to St Louis with a little more spring to our step... especially for Mr Bortuzzo. Who saw that coming? Play Gloria!

Well, that wasn't the outcome we were looking for, to say the least. The Blues came up short in the 6-3 loss, but there are things we can take from this game and apply them to Game 2. ... which can't come soon enough.

We took a moment to look ahead at Round 3 and our opponent, the San Jose Sharks. Yep, them again. A lot is different about this current Blues team, though, and we talk about that. There are even some notable differences in the Sharks team as well. This is going to be a good test for the boys, and we are totally ready for it. #LGB!

Has your voice recovered yet? Ours have, just barely. Just enough to chat about the series clinching Game 7 win in Double OT. Pat Maroon picked a great time to be chubby but effective, and the Blues are marching on to Round 3. Helluva series from the Stars, including that Bishop fella, but the Blues earned that ticket to the Conference Final. Now, we wait to find out who we play. Are we nervous? Naaaaaah

Well, wasn't THAT something! The Blues emerge victorious in Game 6, and force a Game 7 here at home. The Blues were already ahead 2-1 when they scored 2 quick ones to seal the win in the 3rd. One of those was a little controversial, but hell ... we'll take it. Also remarkable is the entry of Sammy Blais into the lineup. Seems to have paid off! Let's Go Blues!

The Blues sure don't make it easy on themselves, do they? Like Tina once famously said, "We never, ever, do nothin' Nice And Easy". The main takeaway from this is "Thinking is bad" , so let us tell you what we think. See you in Game 6!

Well, the game started off OK, with the Tarasenko power play goal .... but it all went downhill from there. Another example of too little, too late from the third period as the Blues allowed the Stars to tie the series. We talk about this loss and how we saw things. See you Friday !!

Well, there's nothing like a little playoff panic to get the heart racing, eh? After a rollercoaster of a 3rd period, the Blues emerge victorious in Game 3. The Stars kept coming back, but the Blues took the hits and kept getting back up. That's what it takes to win. Maybe the Stars players should focus on getting up and not falling down so much, eh?

A little low energy in this one - due to the morning chat and also for the loss in Game 2. Not that it was all bad, but the Blues came up short where it counted most. We discuss the game and our reactions to it, and look forward to Game 3.

That's a helluva start! We celebrate the 3-2 win over the Stars, and talk about the game overall. Strong showing by the Blues, but some room for improvement. How about that Fabbri and Tarasenko, eh? LGB!
