Just watched a replay of the handshake line. Looked like Ott and Dubnyk shared a laugh and kind words. Good to see there was good sportsmanship there even if Ott was the guy to hate this series.
Yeah, I don't think Ott's a genuine ******. Just knows his role and does it well.
Exactly. He's the kind of guy you love if he plays for you, hate if he plays for them. He brings a lot of spirit and fire to the game....the kind of spirit and fire way too many of the Blues players lacked in this series. I hope Otter is back with us next season.
So do I. Take away all of the antics and nonsense, and you're left with nothing more than a terrible hockey player. I hope you guys find room for Reaves as well.
I don't know that I'd say he's a terrible hockey player. He's an adequate bottom-six forward. I'd say Hitchcock gave him a role, he played that role, and that role ended up being more of a distraction than a help to his team.

Here are two brief videos from the game. They aren't the best quality and weren't taken with the intention of showing the play on the ice. That's why the players look like toothpicks...I had the camera zoomed all the way out to get as much of the place as I could. Looks like we're sitting in the rafters when we're actually in a much lower row of the upper section. It was taken simply for the crazy atmosphere in the building.
This was Nino's empty netter. Sorry for the camera bouncing around a lot, but I was sort of cheering while trying to take the video.
Nice videos! Much better camera work than I would have been able to accomplish after that Nino goal!
Thanks. We'll do our best to end the Blackhawks reign of tyranny over the Central division.Blues fan coming in peace! That was a great series and I gotta say except for game 4, the Wild were the better team in this series, no question about it. I thought Doobs coming over in January and being a finalist for the vezina trophy was a great story this year, and he seems like a really likeable guy. He was great in this series.
I am rooting for you guys all the way to beat the Hawks! Please please beat the Blackhawks this year! Can't stand that team.
This series was not as physical as I expected it to be, I think we got out pretty unscathed.
Was a very civil series. All other past playoff matchups, I'd come away hating the opponent immensely. But this time, I never developed a deep hate for the Blues and their fans. Why is that?
