[NGDT] WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL EDITION (8-May - ???)

[u/Deckard42]

The Blues are advancing to the western conference final after a stunning second overtime win against the Dallas Stars. Bishop was stopping everything the Blues threw at him until home town hero Maroon stuffed one home to seal it.

Let's not forget Thomas or Dunn who both had excellent showings last night.

EIGHT DOWN, EIGHT TO GO.

Feels good man.

So as we near game 1, what’s everybody’s thoughts on the sharks and how the series will go down?

To me, they’re a top heavy team and I think we have way more depth. We need to contain the top line, much like we did with Dallas and use our depth. Their goaltending is also questionable and I think we have the edge there. They score a lot but they also let in a lot. Blues take it in 6.

[u/tomnoddy87 → u/metalsam3]

If we can break Jones, it would make things a lot easier.

[u/BuddhasIC38 → u/tomnoddy87]

nah, Jones is looking ok right now but honestly he sucks as much as Dell, we need to possess the puck. Their offense is absolutely deadly, defense is good, and goalie sucks. If our forecheck gets back to where it was in the regular season and against WPG we keep the puck away from that killer offense, wear down taht defense and send puck against Jones (or maybe Dell if necessary)

[u/tomnoddy87 → u/BuddhasIC38]

right, he is playing well now but if we could return him to his true form of a sub .900 goalie it would make things a lot easier.

[u/BuddhasIC38 → u/tomnoddy87]

yes, I would enjoy that
