I'm not quite as confident as Shannon. While the Blues are in control, the Sharks will come out angry in game 6 with no pressure because everyone now thinks they will lose. But to all the SJ fans who were boasting and making fun of the Blues for hitting the Sharks rather than scoring in game 1, this is why. Those hits were not for game 1, they were for later in the series, a cumulative effect.

[@Rometiklan]

It's been a while since I've seen such a systematic surgical dismantling of a team in the playoffs. The Sharks already came into this series pretty banged up so it was only a matter of time before the Sharks would wear down as long as the Blues kept hitting and skating. Sharks will have to dig down deep to pull off a miracle win in game 6.

[@LeftCoastPatriot]

It's not really a "dismantling" when their whole strategy is to concuss players. And that handpass and the eakin penalty resulting in referees getting suspended has made the refs scared to call anything against the blues. They've been headhunting hertl since the series started, tonight they put the dirtiest headshot on him. Then another dirty hit on pavelski. One on Braun before this. Headhunting Karlsson the whole series etc etc... clean hits are one thing but intentionally targeting player's heads is something else.

[@TheKingChizzy]

@@LeftCoastPatriot Yeah I've lost all respect for any blues player and any blues fan. Also anyone that says the refs gifted us anything I am no longer associating myself with.

The second I saw Karlsson starting the game I questioned that call to have him on the ice right away and it proved my point. They said he had about 7 minutes of time in the first period and he looked awful. He couldn't keep up and was obviously laboring. I have no idea why DeBoer had him in so much when he has Burns but it just seemed really stupid but what was worse was the US announcers praising Karlsson the whole time, until he gave up the turnover that lead to the first goal. Not sure what game they were watching but Karlsson was obviously struggling and to me it just felt like playing with fire to have him in there at the start.

LaceratingSlyer I’m pretty sure one of the announcers is a huge homer for San Jose. His biased commentary is awful.

[@connormadden182]

I totally agree. Even at the end of the first period the NBC announcers were talking about how good a period Karlsson was having, despite the giveaway to Sundqvist. I was like, are we even watching the same game? Is someone in their ear telling them to hype Karlsson to make SJ fans feel better?

[@vitoc3331]

Connor Madden And on the Martin Jones assist on Jaden Schwartz goal, that biased announcer tried so hard to defend Jones, while the other announcer just called him out saying Jones poor rebound control. It was so embarrassing for the first guy lol. Made me laugh hard

[@michaellawton2150]

@@connormadden182 I'm a San Jose fan. These announcers are terrible. I miss the San Jose announcers who call their players on their shit. Karlsson is so ridiculously injured. He is a turn over machine right now and should be benched.

Vegas Golden Knights and the other NHL teams, take note of what St. Louis has done against the Sharks this game. It was an absolute clinic.

[@Navs126]

Mmm not sure if Vegas is listening. They’re hanging out on their *folding* lawn chairs on the golf course right now.

[@vitoc3331]

Shadownet As a Vegas fan I admit St.Louis has so many things that Vegas could learn from. Vegas lost all three games against St.Louis regular season, I watched the last two and my feeling is we couldn’t do anything to overcome this team. Simply outplayed. Cheers Blues, you play like a better team and you deserve to be where you at this far. Go get it all.

[@vegascane3502]

Vegas had 59 shots vs the sharks in game 6 and still lost. Can't do much more than that other than that other than tip your cap to Jones and they dominated game 7 up until the brutal call.

[@vitoc3331]

Vegas Cane I agree. In my opinion Vegas was the better team in game 6 and first 50 mins of game 7. But only the result matters. Anyhow always glad to see a Vegas-friendly comment lol, it might be a good thing regard to Vegas’s early exit. Players could have more rest and time to develop. Marchessault, Stone and Theodore having a great time in IIHF tournament for team Canada makes me really eager to watch Vegas next season lol. Love to see Marchessault-Karlsson-Stone line for Vegas(yes plz keep Karlsson). And Gusev looks amazing offensively for Russia too. I think Vegas could come back stronger next season. Let’s see how it goes.

[@anthonyholmes3457]

God the blues just wear teams down. They borderline get out played the first few games and then it seems they get stronger. But in reality I thing their opponents are just getting tired and worn down. Same thing happened in they’re previous 2 rounds. Winnipeg and Dallas both looked far superior in the first 3to4 games. And then out of nowhere the blues looked stronger and they’re opponents looked mentally and physically exhausted. Crazy!

[@heyyitsRJ]

David Willett hopefully we prove everyone wrong. We need Kane and Couture to step up. And our defense needs to be locked in for the whole game. No matter how many people discredit us, always bleed teal

[@anthonyholmes3457]

Raymond Cabrera they’re gonna have to match the blues physicality and start thinking defense first. Blues are far from unstoppable. But most of all Jones has gotta be much better. Like binnington better.

I don’t think the sharks gave up. Watch both the blues previous rounds against Dallas and Winnipeg. This is exactly the point in both series where those teams looked like they were giving up and the blues were getting stronger. I think the blues just wear you down with a heavy relentless game. It doesn’t start showing until about game 4 or 5.

It's really amazing that in the offseason the blues were one of the favorites because of the moves they made. Then the season started and they just looked terrible. Then they call up a young goaltender out of desperation and fire the coach and just completely turn it around. As a vegas fan i can only watch the finals if the blues win so here's to hoping.go blues down with those lucky sharks who.shouldn't even be there. And please take out those cheap.shooting bruins.

[@viewernewest]

Vince Dunn took a puck to the face. He was listed as day to day. Karlsson should've been scratched for injury precautions.

[@viewernewest]

Additionally, Schwartz was robbed pretty much all season on scoring chances. He did everything right, just never could consistently finish. Glad you touched on that.

Tough pill to swallow, but I appreciate your breakdown of these games. As a Sharks fan, I usually struggle to watch any post-game after a shutout, but you've got such a solid grasp of the game, that watching your analysis is actually therapeutic. And, yes, as a Sharks fan, that game has me worried. The players that were in the locker room and the complete meltdown by the remaining team was something I was not expecting from this ordinarily focused team.

New records for team wins and goaltender wins in the postseason and the first successful penalty shot! I love it but all I really want is that cup!

These Sharks are the new Red Wings in that they can turn around and take the next game in St. Louis and make it go seven. These Blues are deep. They seem destined to win it all, but until they do, don't say the series is over.
