Fans shared their reactions to the St. Louis Blues' double OT loss.

"Never seen a collapse as bad as that. Blues had that game won for the first 58 minutes…. I kept screaming at my TV and for the life of me couldn’t figure out why we wouldn’t skate with the puck to chew the clock instead of dumping it for icing everytime in the last 2 minutes," one tweeted.

"Thats it. That seals the deal. Im no longer a Blues fan. I’ve been a Blues fan since 1920 and a season ticket holder since 1933. I will no longer watch on TV or renew my season tickets. I’m taking my fanhood to Chicago where they actually know how to run a hockey team." another fan reacted.
