from Frank Seravalli of TSN, Flash in the pan. Lightning in a bottle. Fifteen minutes of fame. Some in the hockey world have whispered: Is Blues goalie Jordan Binnington the 2019 version of the Hamburglar? They have held their breath, waiting for the moment to declare his Cinderella run dead after watching Andrew Hammond’s spectacular 2015 run with the Ottawa Senators fizzle out, that same form never to be regained again in the NHL. Well, Binnington’s aura of invincibility was pierced again on Saturday night in the Shark Tank after allowing five goals to open the Western Conference final. But those holding their breath might soon turn blue in the face. Binnington has been the Bounce Back Kid, responding to his first 10 losses in the NHL with an 8-2-0 record and .934 save percentage. He’ll have to do it again in Game 2 on Monday night for the Blues to avoid falling into a 2-0 series hole, as St. Louis chases its first Stanley Cup final appearance since 1970. “He’s been doing that all year,” coach Craig Berube said Sunday. “I think he’s got a calm head. He forgets about it and moves on. It wasn’t a great game for anybody. But you’ve got to move on, learn from it and make some corrections. He’ll do the same thing.” continued --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from Robert Tychkowski of the Edmonton Sun, The St. Louis Blues played the classic “it’s not you, it’s me,” card so often Sunday, you’d swear they were breaking up with the San Jose Sharks and wanted to let them down easy. The Blues spent most of their off-day media availability explaining how they had a major role in virtually every aspect of San Jose’s 6-3 victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference championship. They are the reason San Jose scored five times in the first two periods. They are the reason San Jose feasted on all those turnovers. They are the reason goaltender Jorden Binnington looked uncharacteristically shaky. They are the reason they have fallen behind in a series for the first time in these playoffs. “It was all self-inflicted,” began Blues coach Craig Berube, surrounded by a pack of reporters in the team’s hotel lobby. “They do a good job of hounding pucks and they’re tight on you, but it was self-inflicted on our part, turning pucks over at bad times. “We didn’t have the puck enough and we had it we gave it back to them too easily.” continued I looked and the Blues gave up 6 to Winnipeg in the first round. Binnington responded with a .954 save percentage in the next game, but the Blues lost 2-1 in overtime. |

A woman accused of murdering a man in a Hayward motel in July 2017 has been linked through DNA evidence to the stabbing of a San Jose Mercury News reporter, according to court records cited by a Bay Area News Group report. Police say Sydney Megan Whalen, 24, stabbed the newspaper's hockey beat writer, Paul Gackle, several times in the abdomen and throat during an attempted robbery July 21, 2017, in the 800 block of Redbird Drive in Willow Glen. Gackle suffered severe injuries. He was asked about them and just said he was a kid and wasn't looking to offend anyone. The Blues Goalie was just a kid. I see no reason to make a story of it but I dont know that it should cause you career issues either. |

Although I'm not expecting anything different out of him, I am calling out Kane to step up tonight. Save for some hits, he hasn't done shit. It's time for him to bust out a 3 point night.

I honestly don't think he has been the same since the fight with Chara. I do give him credit for the whole "muffin man" thing on Reeves against Vegas. |
