St. Louis Blue Game 5 Preview: The Bernie Show

In this April 30th episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie Miklasz dives deep into Game 5 of the Blues-Jets first-round NHL playoff series, with the series tied 2–2. Bernie focuses on Winnipeg goalie Connor Hellebuyck’s persistent postseason struggles, emphasizing that despite his regular season success, his performance in the playoffs has been abysmal—highlighted by recent blowouts and a shocking statistical track record. Bernie presents in-depth analysis, including insights from retired NHL goalie Mike McKenna, who breaks down Hellebuyck’s technical flaws, such as poor hand positioning and limited mobility. Bernie contrasts Hellebuyck’s decline with Jordan Binnington’s strong postseason play and urges the Blues to maintain the same high-pressure tactics that led to their success in St. Louis. He also touches on lineup changes, like the Jets' Gabriel Vilardi returning and the Blues missing Dylan Holloway. The episode is a fiery, data-packed preview of a pivotal game, backed by Bernie’s trademark research, passion, and blunt analysis. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
