Robert Thomas scored a pair of goals and Tyler Bozak buried the overtime winner as the St. Louis Blues overcame a three-goal deficit to defeat the Colorado Avalanche 5-4 extending the second-round playoff series to a Game 6.
As someone who grew up without a lot of ice around and mostly played/watched basketball, I don’t know how anyone could watch the two games tonight and think the NBA has the superior product. There is NOTHING like playoff hockey.
basketball itself is so boring. guys throwing a ball into a net time after time, the same thing over and over and over and over, yet people still cheer lmfao.
In fairness to the Blues, MacKinnon seemed to be the only one for the Avs to show up tonight. The Avs Defense was lousy in the third and OT. All credit goes to the Blues, because they could've hung it up.
How did the Av’s not win that? Incredible tenacity and drive by St. Louis to never give up and to get back in the game. Unreal! That’s not a game you want to lose. Huge momentum goes to St. Louis now. Wow!
The way they seemed to be flying the Avs (I've only seen the highlights) must have looked certain winners, even before it was 3-0. And then the gut punch from the stunning Mackinnon with 2 odd minutes left. Berube must be some kind of motivator. What to expect in game 6?
Сент -Луис весь матч казалось обречён и был в роли догоняющих , чтобы в овертайме отправить в нокаут Колорадо . Эпик гейм 😅 Музыканты как минимум заслуживают этой победой седьмой матч .
Wow, what an incredible comeback! Down 3-0 in the second period, down 3-1 in the third, down 4-3 with less than three minutes left, tied up with 56 seconds left, an then win in overtime. Unbelievable!
I’m a huge Blues fan. Didn’t miss a game all season… After that win last night I’m proud, happy and content. I have only respect for this team no matter what happens. Mack’s coat to coast goal was on another level. ✊🏽 I still can’t believe we’re goin to game 6! LGB
Blues fan here...I was at work when this game was on and my heart sunk when the Avs kept scoring to get up 3-0. I was resigned to the season being over and a bit sad for my team. Thinking how it might have been different if Binny hadn't gotten hurt. But then the turnaround and epic comeback..what a great game. So proud of my team tonight. Gotta say that extra rest to clear the hats helped us out for sure..too bad bc McKinnon was a warrior. What a GAME!
Game of the playoffs so far IMO. Highlight reel goal from MacKinnon, only to be answered by the Blues refusal to lose and showing the resolve of champions. I think the Blues ride this momentum and take game 6, but I'm still taking the Avs to ultimately prevail in 7. What a series.
I’m a Blues fan and you just don’t see teams turn games like this around like this one tonight. It honestly felt like it was going to turn into a route. I am shocked STL came back to win. Good for them
Something about playoffs, being down in the series, at an away game, really always seems to bring the best of the Blues. It’s always 6 or 7 games for us, never less
I live in Atlantic time-zone so went to bed at 3-0. Just watched highlights Thursday AM and was yelling: at highlights! The sports-bars in STL must have been going nuts
I cannot tell you how exciting this was watching it live. I don’t even want the Blues to win the Cup, but I felt like one of their fans tonight for some reason 😂
I think that MacKinnon goal being the hat trick goal was one of the reasons the Avs threw that game. Like the Blues had almost 10 minutes to regroup while all the hats were being taken off the ice. If that's not a hatty the play just starts 20 seconds later and there's full momentum for the Avs
@@Braeden16Macdonald No. They won't. They won't be the new Capitals either. They have lose the 2nd round at least 4 more times before they are the new Capitals.
Underrated play of the game in my eyes: Is right before the pressure that produced Bozak's game winner, there was a shot that if it wasn't blocked by Bortuzzo, puck goes into the net and this series is over. Gg to Mr. Puck deflector man
MacKinnon's 3rd goal was an absolute thing of beauty. The one that jumps to mind in comparison is Datsyuk's complete undressing of the Preds team back in 2013. Tag this bit onto a youtube.com url ... watch?v=COuJmG2M5hk
Trust me, I’ve seen many a games, fantastic games at that. But nothing comes remotely close to what we witnessed tonight. Simply the best game ever played! Congratulations to the St. Louis Blues and God bless!!!
Man what a gritty effort by STL. At first I was wondering if there was going to be ANY highlights of them on offense but man did they snatch this victory. Its cool that its a competitive series it's good for hockey
Oilers fan here and I gotta say: awesome fightback from the Blues! Their never-say-die attitude tonight was inspired. Would be great if they can win at home to take this series to 7.
This is why I love hockey. Great comeback. It’s not over until the final horn sounds! I hope the Avs can rebound and win the next game. Reminds me of a game between Sweden and Finland a long time ago. Sweden being down 5-1 I believe it was, came back and won 6-5. Still remember The look on Mats Sundins face after that game winning goal was priceless! Forgive my rambling.. Må bästa lag vinna!
You denver fans are so pretentious. Your hockey team perrenially is overrated and underachieving. They're rly good this year and might win but you avs fans are insufferable
If they choke this it would be so similar to last years Leafs choke. 3-1 lead and lose game 5 and 6 in overtime. This was even worse than the Leafs game 5 loss though... oh boy.
@@lzeb4730 yep but The Leafs will find a new heartbreaking way to lose next spring’s 1st round and I am a Leafs fan, but I am a realist. Intangibles and the Leafs don’t have it. I am used to watching winning teams in subsequent rounds after the inevitable foul up by Dubas’ group he assembled, great team on paper but ole Kyle forgot playoffs are a different level.
@@PopShoppekid The Leafs showed resiliency multiple times in that series. Especially after they stole Tavares goal in game 7 and gave Tampa a powerplay, they could've fallen apart but instead they kept playing well and tied it. Tampa is just a really good team, I think that goes without saying. They'll break through eventually, it took Tampa over 10 years of Stamkos and Hedman before they won, it took the Caps over 10 years. It took Yzerman and the Red Wings forever, they were known as chokers until they became a dynasty.
@@lzeb4730 I agree with you good take your points but 50 years of watching them, and how do they keep losing in different ways all these game 7’s? And Dubas builds an offensive minded team yet only scored 3 goals in last 4 game 7’s ( game 5 2020 CBJ). I truly wonder if the scar tissue built up year after year of losing will be too much to overcome. They are human beings and when another critical spot arises next spring they have no happy thoughts to think back on ( unlike TB they will be confident because they have overcame deficits in the very near past.
If Binnington was still in, Blues would’ve won in five. Jk. Who knows. Blues fan here to troll. No chance we win the series, but like- it’d be dope if we did.
@@MittMittensHeatDieHardFan Hussos not good enough to Win us this series. But this game just shows we can’t be hesitant to shoot the puck because I’d argue Kuemper is no better than Husso. We just need to actually put the puck on net
@@MikeHoncho610 Can't wait until he proves you wrong. Husso is a BEAST ! One of the GREATEST goaltenders I've ever seen in this sport. Of course, he's learned from the GOAT, Jordan Binnington.
Feeling a lot like last year smh. I’m a huge AVS fan, feeling sick to my stomach right now. Keumper is our Achilles’ heel though, I’ve been saying that all season. I don’t think he’s a cup caliber goalie.
@@hotcarl3854 Eh. I wouldn't say that. He really hasn't had the opportunity to play in the playoffs until this year for a long stretch. Tonight was his worst game but the Avs defense didn't help any by not clearing rebounds which the Blues did the same thing last game. Kinda tired of the Kuemper slander. He's only lost two games.
@@ohbaby4life Whoever said that to you was a fool. I didn't expect the sweep by TB, but knew Florida wasn't going to sweep TB. Heck. I assumed TB would win.
Damn that third MacKinnon goal looked like a true statement of "hell, I'm taking this team to the third round right here and right now" but it was ruined
Нет слов, одни эмоции! То ли Колорадо перестал играть, то ли Музыканты проснулись, но матч выдался сумасшедший. Браво, особенно Музыкантам! Вытащить безнадёжный матч- это фантастика.
You can really see which team has been all the way before, the blues know what level of play it takes to get to the promised land. The avs skill may still win out in the end, but the blues are gonna fight till they can't anymore. I'm a Bruins fan, I'm familiar with that teams resilience.
Wow. I wish I could have stayed up to see this one. Already in the best games of all time list. 3-0 up at home, and Mackinnon playing lights out, I have to credit the Blues for having a lot of backbone.
Great to see husso not throw the game. Doesent seem like a goalie that will give you a save when you need it though. Needed that mak end to end one. Hopefully he keeps improving
Лавины после того как счет стал 3-0 то скорее всего мыслями уже были в финале конференции за что и поплатились ибо в плэй офф одна шайба способна перевернуть весь рисунок игры
