Who really gives a fuck...the Blues are regular season world beaters but show their true colors in the playoffs. See how much this "big win" means to them when they get eliminated in the first round like they usually do.

I am in now way knowledgable in hockey, but how da fuq do you blow a 5-2 lead in hockey? I mean thats like blowing a 20 point lead in the 4th quarter.

Hawks probably thought the Blues would lay down and give up. Thus, they took a half assed approach to everything past the 1st period.

If you sit back, it will burn you every time.

It's not uncommon to blow a 3-goal lead. It's uncommon for a supposed "elite" goalie to need more than 5 to win.

Crow lost focus tonight and they lost a point because of it. It's November, so it doesn't seem important. If we're fighting to get in on the last day of the season, as in 2011, it will seem important then.

I'd rather lose 6-0 than like this.

While blowing a 3 goal lead is something that certainly happens, lets not make it out to be a common occurrence. It isn't and a team like the Blackhawks shouldn't let it happen. It was a team effort tonight that allowed the Blues back into the game. Can't really blame it on one certain player, it was a team effort. An important two points were given to the Blues tonight and the Blackhawks missed out on an additional 1. In the West, it could certainly be a big deal.

Need to rewatch the highlights, but I feel like Toews picked a pretty awful time to make a change, leaving Tarasenko open for that game winning goal in OT.

Eddie actually said it when it was 5-2.

"Mentality is, let's get the next one then get a power play and we are right back in it"

You can say he #calledit.

Ryan Hartman sent down to Rockford, and rightfully so after his insistence on turning the puck over in his own end.

He had his first point and had some good moments in that game but too many turnovers so far in all the games he played this year. I wonder if he'll get called up around the next time they need someone like him or they'll actually give a shot to some of the other prospects.

Hopefully means that Hossa is ready to go tomorrow night. Hartman has a ways to go. He plays with a passion and edge each shift which is great and has gotten plenty of guys far (see Shaw) but he has plenty of improvements to make.

Last I heard was that Hoss will be out still on Friday. That was on the radio about 5:30 last night.

They can just keep the lines the same and put in Tik where Hartman was if they really wanted.
