Steen wins it - One minute into OT #3. Set up by Backes and Ott. Easy goal.

Game one to the Blues.

Toews courage to go into the dirty areas to retrieve pucks is admirable, but why? Let the big guys, wingers do that...last year the B's kept bouncing him around but he wouldn't relent....eventually something has to give, but I doubt he will change, I don't think he cares, he's crazy!

It's just who he is.



Heck of a player.

What a game. Have to love playoffs overtime - and I've got Steen in my pool. :)

I have never seen Toews smile on the ice, he only smiles when the Cup is being presented to him. He is all business…..

However,

He perhaps should temper his ambition, as he is moments away from being mullered. The Blues are hammering him like a ginger-haired, foster-child.

Quenville has been fined $25K for acting like a Mushroom Cap on the bench yesterday.

Did anyone see the chank he was throwing when he thought the puck was cleared over the glass by the Blues? Lol. He was a total Drama Queen.

VERY happy St-Louis took this one after the 3rd period...That hit by Seabrook was very bad to see, the knee on knee it although unintentional wasn't prettier so I think the hockey gods gave the Hawks what they deserved there.

That Knee on Knee was absolutely intentional. Not sure what hockey you're watching.

The same as you, difference being I don't feel the need to belittle anyone while watching it.

I wasn't belittling you (not intentionally at least). It's just that that part of your statement couldn't be farther from the truth. Anyone with high level hockey playing, reffing, or coaching experience could corroborate that too.

Which is why all refs, commentators, fans, and people alike across the world agree on every call ever made. Seems legit.
