GDT Round 3 Game 3 SJS at STL 5:00 PST

ST Louis has a stronger road record this post season if I'm not mistaken. I agree we need to take this one and I would wager we should have a shot at grabbing both games.

according to the court jester:  Thornton with Labanc and Melker this morning. Goodrow with Donskoi and Haley. Looks like Sorensen might be odd man out tonight

Huh. Ok then. Well...maybe Sorensen is hurt? Because how the fuck is Melker still there if we're going on performance? He's just going to make that 3rd line slower. I would have thought maybe slotting Donskoi on that line and bringing sorensen down to the 4th line. 

just win 

#SJSharks lines this morning suggest Haley in, Sorensen out. Melker moves up?

18-23-27
68-19-62

Just win the fucking game,

Who is Johnny?

GATEWAY TO THE WEST WELCOMES BLUES, SHARKS FOR GAME 3

After earning a split in San Jose, the Blues return home to Enterprise Center in St. Louis for Game 3 against the Sharks. The clubs also were tied 1-1 in the 2016 Western Conference Final, with San Jose winning Game 3 at home – via two goals from Tomas Hertl and a 22-save shutout by Martin Jones – en route to a six-game series victory.



* ICYMI: Laila Anderson, a young Blues fan who found a bone marrow match in December thanks in part to the organization, will be headed to her first playoff game tonight. Click here to learn more about Laila and watch as she gets the news about going to Game 3.



* The Blues are tied 1-1 for the fourth time in eight trips to the Conference Finals/Semifinals. They also split the first two games in 1968 against the North Stars, 1986 against the Flames and 2016 against the Sharks – they lost Game 3 in each of those instances, but rallied to win the series in 1968 against Minnesota.



* San Jose owns an 11-7 series record when a series is tied 1-1 (.611), including a perfect 6-0 series record when splitting the first two games at home. St. Louis, meanwhile, is 12-19 in 31 previous best-of-seven series that were tied 1-1 (.387), including a 4-8 mark when starting on the road.







* Sharks forward Logan Couture leads the League with 13 goals and 19 points in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs (13-6—19 in 16 GP) and has scored twice in both games of the Western Conference Final. He is one goal shy of matching the franchise record for most in a postseason, a mark set by teammate Joe Pavelski in 2016 (14-9—23 in 24 GP).



* Couture is one goal/assist shy of reaching the 20-point mark in a postseason for the second time in his NHL career and first since 2016, when he established a franchise record for most in a playoff year with 30 (10-20—30 in 24 GP). He can become the first player in Sharks history to reach the 20-point mark in multiple postseasons – a feat teammate Brent Burns (5-10—15 in 16 GP) is also within striking distance of accomplishing.



* Couture can become the second player in franchise history to score multiple goals in three consecutive team games within a playoff year; he would join Pavelski, who did so during the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs (6-3—9 in 3 GP).



* Blues defenseman Robert Bortuzzo scored the winner in Game 2 – his first career goal in the Stanley Cup Playoffs (1-2—3 in 31 GP). Defensemen have combined for seven of St. Louis’ 41 goals in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs (17.1%), the highest such percentage among remaining teams. Jordan Binnington (9-6) sits one win shy of setting the franchise record for a single postseason, while captain Alex Pietrangelo (2-10—12) needs one point for the most in a playoff year by a Blues defenseman.

Not looking forward to this one. Sharks are gonna get their asses handed to them. Lose by 5 at least.

I fucking hate the St. Louse Blues.

Hello.
