A sincere congratulations goes out to today's Vezina nominees, one of whom the Blues are playing tonight. Devan Dubnyk is nominated for his outstanding regular season play. The key words there are "regular" and "season." The post-season? Less than stellar. He was chased after allowing six goals on 17 shots. Jake Allen allowed one on the same number, and lasted the entire game.
This is the way to beat the Wild. Pressure them, don't let them dictate the pace of play, and fire at will immediately. The Wild appear to be a beatable team. The Blues are beatable when they beat themselves. If they continue their momentum from Wednesday, they should be fine.
This is your GameDay Thread. Comment like you're hoping to see Jori Lehtera out there around puck drop. Let's do this. Let's Go Blues.
