GDT Game 2: 4/18/15 | 2:00PM CST | v Wild | NBC/Y98

Been all wild this period, I feel like we are going to get scored on with about 5 min left

A miracle of good luck. Backes scooped the puck out, just before it was to cross the line.

The Blues had better decide to hold onto the puck and try to score. If they don't, they'll lose this game. AND the series.

Feels like that for sure. We just can't seem to put together a full 60 minutes.

[Robb_K]

We can see that The Blues are just trying to preserve the 2-1 lead. They had a perfect 3 on 2, and the 3rd Blue peeled off to start a line change, just because he was tired (his line had been out long). Scoring chances are so rare in the playoffs. Winning teams don't do that. They take the scoring opportunity.

[Portland Blues]

There's the Berglund we've always wanted to show up.

[Robb_K]

BERGY!!!!! 3-1!!! GREAT SHOT!!!

[PGABluesFan]

Holy crap. Berglund of all people. We spent 80 % of that period in our zone. What a relief.

[H-Town Blues]

Berglund! Thank you.

[Portland Blues]

Has Ott played the entire game? Seems like he's been on every line today.

[Portland Blues]

Break out the hats!!!!!!!

[Robb_K]

TARASENKO!!!!! HAT TRICK!!! BLUES WIN!!!

[H-Town Blues]

Victory is ours!

[Robb_K]

BLUES PUSH BACK AFTER THEIR POOR GAME ONE! I'm happy. And I think now they know how they'll have to play, and they should win this series.

[Portland Blues]

TARASENKO!!!!! HAT TRICK!!! BLUES WIN!!!

Wow, the last hat trick was Mike Sillinger. I remember that one.

[Robb_K]

Allen was excellent again. I think that The Blues have not only found THIS playoffs' goalie, but their #1 starter for next season, as well. He has played great under all the pressure(despite that one bad choice on last game's first goal). If so, that solves a big problem for The Blues.

So yeah...the Detroit game is on both NBC and NBCSN.

NBC coverage of Blues-Wild will start in 5 minutes. The puck drops at 2:21.

Anybody else experience both NBC and NBCSN having TB/Detroit? Because I did. My local affiliate had that, and since I'm in the STL viewing area, it was on the 'national' game of TB/DET, so I was stuck watching on nbcsports.com until about 8 misn to go into the game. I tweeted at my local affiliate and they said it was NBC's call. So curses to you, peacocks.

That sucks! Both stations here in Oregon were showing the Detroit game and only cut to the Blues game as soon as the puck dropped.

Tarasenko cannot be stopped. This game was pretty much a must-win, in my mind. And please, for god's sakes, keep starting Allen.

Allen has won the #1 job for the rest of this year's playoffs, and next year's starting job is his to lose.

[Oaklandblue]

Allen sucked tonight. He looked horrible, my God. Couldn't allow a single damn goal. I am disappointed and dismayed at his performance.

Tank needs to score more. Three is simply unacceptable.

And Bergy, the hell is wrong with you, man?!
