Oshie Nets Game Winner

by Brad Lee on Feb 26, 2009 10:50 PM CST

How. How did rookie TJ Oshie score the game-winning goal in the third period at Dallas Thursday nigh?

The North Dakota alum was basically alone on the right side, just him and Dallas goaltender Marty Turco. And it wasn't like Turco was out of position. He came out aggressively to cut down the angle. Turco had the bottom of the net covered, the post wasn't open. The only space Oshie had to shoot was right by Turco's left ear and into the top of the net. And that's exactly where he put it, making the Gatorade bottle jiggle.

Here, see for yourself.

What a goal. What a game.

We'll have more later tonight and in the morning, but feel free to fill up the comments with your WTFs and such.

Did I mention the Blues are three points out of the playoffs?

That shot looks totally harmless.

Unlike the girl in RFJCC’s post. She looks like herpes.

That was a beautiful goal.

I turned on the game in third period score tied one to one. Saw Dallas dominating the Blues. Then the kid line reunited and then devastion for Dallas. I wanted to hop on the post but because the last two times I did that we ended up losing I did not.

Shame about the Colaiacovo injury

That man has done nothing but play solid, smart defense, rack up the points, solidify our blueline on the power play, and raise a big F’ you middle finger to Toronto.

The thing that gets me is that I’m pretty sure the play was offsides and he NEVER should have needed to block that shot in the first place! If anybody has a screencap to ssee if that was a missed call or not, please post it. Otherwise, I’ll try to catch the FSN replay tomorrow afternoon.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

Holy Crap

I can’t believe how resilient this team has been this year. Everything that could have gone wrong has and they are still in the thick of the race.

#1 Center goes down for 30+ games……check
#1 Winger plays 11 games and then is out for the year….check
#1 Defenseman (according to coach) out for rest of the year…..check
#1 Rookie out for ENTIRE season……check
#1 Goalie loses his game then his mind and is banished to the minors…….check
And the Carlo injury looked bad, I don’t expect to see him for a while either

Any Murray bashers out there need to shut the fuck up and I’ve been saying that all year. Even during the rough stretch a couple months ago this team was playing tough and was in pretty much every game. The younger guys are finally putting it all together and that is a testament to the coach. Jackman has finally pulled his head out of his ass and is playing great; which has been HUGE since Brewer went down. I don’t think I need to say anything about Mason.

Great game tonight. To go on the road and take two points is really big right now. Playoffs? Still a tough hill to climb, but you bet I’ll be watching, hoping, and praying.

GO BLUES!!!!!!!

yeah, but I can see us slowing down a lot now without Colaiacovo. he was our primary puck mover from the blueline. Jackman tries but he makes a lot of bad passes. we better call up Junland if C-Colai is out for considerable time.

Great game Blues

TJ Oshie is THE MAN

This game reminded me of the first Blues game I ever went to at the Scott Trade center when the Blues beat the Stars in OT. That game was high scoring and I remember one blues fan had a shirt on that day saying "WE MESS WITH TEXAS".

Here in Indiana all us Blues fans got the Blues for the Blues and the NHL.

Detroit sucks Chicago swallows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
