  1. Actual doomers in this sub. You’ve been saying the playoff hunt is over after every loss for the past month and a half. Just let the boys play until they’re actually out of it

  2. Huge point. Sucks we didn’t get two but can’t fault that effort. Great game by Thompson

  3. Buch really could have stepped up there after being absent for like 10 games. Brutal.

  4. ![gif](giphy|DEZA7FlHbMesUF1jm9)

    We still have the easier schedule. Who knows, this might be the point that gets us in playoffs. Play out the season hard and see where the chips fall at the end.

  5. 2 posts and multiple 1 on 0 opportunities wasted. Gonna have to go undefeated from now on to stay in the playoff hunt .

  6. Well we got to watch neighbors develop this year, hofer looks like the goalie of the future, Matt kessel looks like a solid top 4 defensemen and thomas is an elite forward.  Next year we’ll get to see some young players replace some of these players

  7. Calling it now, it’s going to come down to the very last game for the Blues this season. I bet we’re going to need a regulation win against the Stars in three weeks to sneak in to the wild card. Here’s to hoping Vegas shits the bed going forward though

  8. Buchy Thomas and Kyrou decided to dissappear a the absolute worst time. Namely, Thomas couldn’t zone entry to save his life and Kyrou had 3x more turnovers than shots. And Buchy, man, you had the game on your stick.

  9. Our remaining schedule is middle of the road when it comes to opponents. We really needed the beat vegas in regulation there.. I just don’t see them shitting the bed. We still have Oilers, Trashville, Canes, and Dallas.

  10. Season over crowd getting by awful loud. Jesus guys plenty of hockey left. We lost a single fucking point. Chill.

  11. 3 Stars of the Game:

    ⭐ – Marchessault

    ⭐⭐ – Thompson (should have been 1st IMO)

    ⭐⭐⭐ – Binner

    I really don’t want to be a doomer, but this is the one game that they could not lose, even with the OT point. If they had won in OT, I still think it would have basically been a loss with Vegas getting a point. It was certainly not for lack of effort and I can’t really find fault in anyone’s play tonight. They hit at least 3 posts/crossbars and Thompson played out of this world.

    It now feels like a single loss will be the end once and for all. I know the numbers still say there’s a chance, but unless the Knights completely shit the bed, I don’t think there’s a realistic chance anymore.

    I know it’s not over until it’s over, so here’s hoping for a miracle!

  12. Score season saving goal with a few minutes left>get penalty shot in overtime>miss penalty shot>lose 10 seconds later, likely ending your playoff hopes. Of course it happened that way. This team is cursed.

  13. Vegas ABSOLUTELY HAS to lose their extra game they have on us or it really is season over.

  14. Didn’t have much puck luck in the 3rd. Good effort. Need Vegas to slump down the stretch

  15. Sigh. Played out like this season has. One skate behind. Hope Vegas has some bad puck luck on their road trip or we’re watching baseball in May.

  16. McNabb earned himself a McAsswhoopin. Not sure who would be willing other than Schenn.

  17. I still don’t understand why Bannister went 11-7 tonight. I don’t know if we’ve done that since he’s been here. I’d have rather had another forward against this big Vegas team then Scandella barely playing.

  18. Worst fucking refs I’ve ever seen in my entire life, not even exaggerating. Blatant favoritism and utter disgusting behavior by the League. They obviously want Vegas to win and that’s not even in debate. I usually don’t complain about refs but this was just on a whole different level

  19. I gotta move back to St. Louis. Walking my dog alone with my jersey on listening to a game like this on the radio just doesn’t cut it. Love being a Blues fan, they fought hard against some serious competition and difficult odds.

  20. Don’t understand 11/7 when 12/6 has been working fantastic. If he wanted more grit throw blais in the lineup

  21. Of course loser points will be the decision maker in this game.

    Could have been worse. Only a 1 point swing. But man these Blues never make it easy on themselves.

  22. The only thing that’s a bonus here is that it’s conceivable for Vegas to got 1-3 over the next 4. We have to get absolutely hot here and hope something happens bad here for them

  23. Couple of hot takes I think

    1)i don’t like the new goal song, the old one was better 

    2) reffing was awful tonight, imo refs need to awnser at least 3 questions post game to keep them accountable 

    3) this is bad but not impossible why not be optimistic 

    4) give all the slow walkers in Enterprise a supped up rascle scooter, I almost missed the game because Old Man Jones was slow as shit 

  24. Not talented enough of a group as we all know but that 3rd was so fun. It’s why we all just want a chance at the playoffs even if it only lasts a week or two. Wish they didn’t fall asleep for such long stretches this year to lose many valuable points but I’ll never stop enjoying blues hockey

  25. If the blues do something crazy and go like 8-2 here and end with 98 points and don’t get in, that’s just unlucky as fuck. I will stay optimistic until they lose their 4th game here on out

  26. I don’t understand the doomer mentality here. VGK’s schedule is rough and ours is honestly mild.

  27. 3rd period needs to be played at practice and meetings and pounded into the heads of these guys. We played so good in the 3rd.

  28. Can someone explain to me why bannister opted for an extra dman and only 11 forward tonight? Kinda burned us once Sunny went down

  29. I know it hurts to miss out on a point, but we played with heart and gumption. We hit the crossbar 2 or 3 times, and Vegas had mad puck luck. Still, we tied the game and had a chance to win it in OT. That save on Buchy’s penalty shot was stellar. We’ve been on the better end of OT more often than not, and tonight the bounce went their way.

    Having said all of that, Marchessault’s celebration made me go from being mostly ambivalent about Vegas, to The Knights shall *Never* Go Unfucked.

    We have 10 games to get into the tournament. It can be done. It will be done. I believe because I have Reckless Optimism.
