Bruins vs Blues ..Stanley Cup !!

Now we wait till Monday 8 pm. The last time the Blues were in the Cup Finals was 1970....against the Bruins !! 49 years of Misery. So you Blues Fans can come to Boston and take your Medicine !! Go Bruins !

And of course the old blues fans ...remember this ,the last time,they were in the Cup Finals.....I do...1970

And this cheap shot ....Wayne Maki...clubbing Ted Green over the head..and fracturing his skull....leaving Green with a plate in his head....

Should be a great series, both teams play the body pretty hard.

Surprised by the two finalist teams, especially the Blues, but to me they match up well even if there are differences in skill levels. This year speed was good to win games during the year but during the playoffs it is as much of a slug fest and these two teams emerged as the winners of that method. I think the first couple matches will be crucial in determining who wins.
Both teams did an excellent job of back checking on the teams that were using long passing or dumping the puck hoping they could beat the opposition to the puck. Both goalies seem ready for the series.

Bryce

Is that when they had to delay the game because of the fog inside?

Let's go BLUES

Should be a good series between two grinder teams.

Remember the way it effected Mr Green after that as he work locally at his business here.
Poor reffing with the Jets games is the only reason they got there this year.

So sick and tired of hearing about hockey crap! Seems that the post season "tournament" is longer than the regular season.

Hey nessy let's see some of them rainbows you hooked into today.



Its a few days till the 1st game starts. There will be a lot more hype to get the TV ratings up.

Nothing to write home about....but we had 2 sets of doubles ! Trolled for 3 1/2 hours ...got 7 bows

Nice job!!!!!!! Them rainbows are fighters. We pick em up trolling for walleyes sometimes. Keep them photos coming....

We have game one tonight ...8 pm !! About time.....Go Bruins !

Who watching ?.......any Blues Fans ?

I am an extremely new blues fan, but a very long anti-boston fan

As a very new fan ro hockey, I'll say this, its much more exciting than I expected and I appreciate such very few stops in play.

O, and Leary is a d bag

Not a blues fan but I hope they beat Boston.

x2

I see they found another idiot to sing the national anthem.

That is all they have in Boston lol

Great save by Binnington

1 zip Blues.

Hey Boco...when the Bruins Win the Cup....you can hold your head high ,knowing that your leafs lost to the Stanley Cup Champs..!

Bruins will find their legs in the 3rd period

I don't have a dog in this fight. Just want to see a good series. But I always pick a team to root for in these types of championships so I'm going for the Blues.

I like hockey and don't have a horse in this race, so I hope it goes all 7.

Go Bruins.

Bruins what are you guys thinking? Blues all the way

Let's go BLUES

2 zip.

Blues fan here. Watched Blues defensemanParyako play 4 years at University of Alaska Fairbanks. Marchand has me totally rooting against Boston. Boston got a pretty tough team, though.

And the Bruins are back in it

Binnington is amazing

It is clear .....St. Louis cannot skate with Boston.

So was Bobrovski....and he’s now golfing too.

Them b's are waking up now. .this should be a great series! !!

advantage bruins

Blues bettah bring more than that..... There’s one in the bag !!...And 8 Straight wins

Was a fun game to watch. STL seems more physical to my untrained eye, but as mentioned earlier, Boston seems quicker

Playoff hockey is the best sport to watch......even better than football. Plenty of action...punching in the face...hitting..slashing...high sticking..tripping...spearing...butt ending..cross checking...boarding...on and on....lol

It appears to me that Boston can play harder longer and especially in the 3rd period the Blues looked slow and tired compared to the Bruins and it is just the first game. There were many times when the B's back checking kept the Blues from getting out of their zone and when they dumped the puck the B's beat them to the puck. Hitting hard takes a lot of energy, speed is a natural thing we will see how this plays out.

Bryce

Binnington to me is the best player on the ice, but my God, he can only do so much when Boston is getting twice as many shots on goal. Gonna be a short series if it's 20 - 38 every game

Bruins rock.

The blues didn't play great. Which they will have to.

They have had one bad game in every round so far. I hope this was their bad game.

I will stir the pot a little here though.....LOL

I told my son earlier yesterday that the first thing you have to beat against Boston is the refs. And I was right. I aint saying the refs beat the blues, but there was certainly some bad calls and no calls that would have meant a difference.

This is going to be a good series...........I think.

This was talked about on Boston Sports Radio...all day ! Looked like something from the 70’s ...No Helmet and Hair Flying !

Not the refs. maybe it was the turnovers

Boston did a good scouting job and were in the correct places to intercept a lot of passes which really stops rushes and playing time in the zone.

Bryce

If the b's win the next game this series is ovah.....

As the old saying goes.....we don’t have a series until someone loses a home game.

When's the next game?

Tomorrow (Wednesday ) 8 pm

Are the Blues going to show up for 3 periods tonight ? ......ITS GAME TIME !!! GOOOOOO BRUINS .

Let's go BLUES

I guess the refs caused that turnover

Can the Blues keep it up ?...Maybe they should run Tuukka again ...or more head shots....Chara should fight that fat pig Maroon with 8:00 left in the 3rd when that out of shape turd has no gas left....lol

Yes they can. LGB

Check out the Coyle sisters that willmake you a Bruin faLOL

Get’n a little rough out there...

These guys are going to be all banged up after this series....

Rask prolly thinks he's a bowling pin tonite. ..

They will keep running him ...until he gets hurt. Goon hockey is what they have to do....with only (1) skilled Playah.

What a game!

Yup...Need some more time to settle this one !

Rask is earning his check tonight. Need Vlade to sneak one past him in OT

I just thought ,Milbury dropped an “ F- Bomb “ .......He said, What The Fox .....LMAO....

Got a series now. Stl earned that one, played their butts off tonight

All tied up 1-1......time to go to St. Louis and go head hunting.

Meh-thats just what the Bruins do anyway

The Blues out played the Bruins substantially tonight and finally won the game in OT. I was surprised but glad to see the Blues elevate their energy. With a lot of hitting going on the games are grinders we will see who is still standing after this series is over.

I am not a hockey stat person but does anyone know the difference in scoring in the periods between the short and the long changes? I would be interested to see if there is any real difference between those different shift changes.

Bryce

Iam so glad I don’t have to listen to the Canadien anthem AGAIN this Cup Series......lol

That was a game!!!! A little dirty on BOTH sides.......playoff hockey as it should be.

This Blues bunch has been diggin deep for a awhile now. Who ever wins this series will earn it.

I wish I owned stock in Bengay or Bio freeze, Their sales have to be going up.......LOL

Got a series now, this is the best hockey of the year. I'm glad to see the blues play all 4 periods tonite and not rollover and die like the other night. The hitting and cheap shooting will have a effect later in the series.

Bruins will have to Goon it up in St Louis....like run the goalie a few times...some slashing above the cuff of the glove...with out worrying about the Blues Power Play....cuz it sucks.

Forgot to mention..my Bruins are Angles....lol

Hey nessy, which b got hit with that puck late in game 1. They showed blood running down his arm?

Chara

When is the last time...The Canadien Anthem was played during the Stanley Cup Playoffs ??? ...any guesses ?

This year in both Winnipeg and Calgary.

Obtuse?
Right?
Acute??

Yea, was gonna say high stick much? Lol

Correct.....but I meant to say..Stanley Cup Finals..

Haven't gotten to watch either game yet. 2 Grand kids. We watch Veggie Tails and Paw Patrol. Go Bruins!

Put them to bed and watch the 3rd period....LOL !...Thats way past their bed time ...

I miss the old hockey with enforcers and fighting. Kept the cheap shots down a little. Also liked Sea Bass in the movie Dumb and Dumber. Aka Cam Neely my favorite Bruin of all time with Ray Bourque a close second...Go Blues!!!

Leafs need the Hanson brothers

Wonder if sundkquist will only get 1 game off ?

Boston Sports Radio all the buzz today. Said they heard that the Sharks were complaining that the Blues were taking guys out...with dirty hits ...to gain an advantage ( losing players)...Heck ,they ran Tuukka twice last night. If that happened years ago...that guy would have to answer to Wayne Cashman,Jay Miller, Lyndon Byers,Terry O Riley, Shawn Thornton.. and that would only happen once.

Thats a good trade off for St Louis..... one game for Sunquist and Gryzlick sits in a dark room for the summer. Hey...sheet happens...you play with what you got...next man up !

Grizzledick is a pretty good player .... Is he a rookie ? Sounds like I missed a physical game last night ...

You just keep watching those Montreal Canadien Highlights from their last cup.....in 1993......that’s 26 years ago..lol

That's LOSER talk (from SJ). Nessy, tell your girls to toughen up

Sunquist will not be putting on his skates for game 3. Bruins will roll Saturday 5-2

What's gonna be the excuse when boston falls 4-1??

Bring it on. Let's go BLUES

no need I remember it well enough .... let me know when Boston raises the cup 24 times lol .... I believe 1993 is the answer to your earlier trivia question about the Canadien anthem ? game 3 should be a good one ....

You board the bear you get a 1 game suspension

We have an image to keep up around here....

I like this one better

Probably in the 90s when the Canadians won.

Here’s a better question.

Name a year a Canadian born player has not been on a Stanley cup winner?

Buckle up....!! ...It’s time for game 3.....Go Bruins !!

Blues! Blues! Blues!

Excited this should be a good game. Go Blues

Screw that baseball game....this is were it’s at !

Boston just needs one of these games in St Louis.

Let's go BLUES

Blues were dominating

right where the blues want them

This is embarrassing

I guess at least I'll get to go to bed early

well maybe not now.....

Yikes. This may get worse before it gets better

I think the AIR.....has left the building !......Well that was a good First Period..More to come !

That's a good point Nessy, at least I didn't spend $$ on a ticket lol

great tribute to Bobby Orr

Didn’t see that here in the States...

This is rough

I'm watching the baseball game now since I have no dog in this fight lol

watching cbc here

worth the youtube search tomorrow

Bruins start the 2nd period on the Power Play.....

I predict a short handed goal

For the 1st 2 games I'd of said Jordan Binnington was the best player on the ice......not no mo

then again...…………………….

Blue are taking their Medicine tonight.....

The Blues are acting like they won the cup with the last game. Better show up some time.

-TJ

briuns rock

Never thought Binnington would be pulled, buy it was needed

This game was OVAH at the end of the 1st Period.....

Dang ..I was close !

That powerplay has been HOT!!!!!

Missed this one due to local softball tourney and the Brewers going into the 13h. Ufftaahh!!! as the Norskies would say. Just saw some highlights or low lights if you will. A good old fashioned drubbing from the few minutes I reviewed. Domination like this one can give a team some real confidence and everything from then on seems like down hill instead of up hill. I feel the Bruins will put the heat on the young goalie right away in the next game to see if his confidence is back or gone. Need to be able to shake these things off but we will find out.

From my seat, the Blues started off the game DOMINATING. I thought it was going to be another long night for Boston, then the 1st 5 minutes of period 1 were over and the wheels completely fell off. Binnigton couldn't stop ANYTHING. Blues defenders were out of position, they kept turning it over in their own zone, they could not convert any scoring oppertunities, they had to have hit the goal post at least 5 times. It was just bad all around. The blues had 29 shots on goal and 2 goals. That is pathetic. Seemed to me, and this is going to sound really simple, but STL literally shot the puck at Rusk, whereas the Bruins shot around Binnington. ANd Bostons PP was insane, Blues PK was the literal opposite.

It was the 1st hockey I have watched that was 0 fun. Hopefully the next few games will at least be competitive.

The next game is the biggest game of the season. Go up 3-1 or a tied 2-2series. Should be a great game.

And BOTH St. Louis goals were deflected off Bruins defenseman......in other words ....garbage goals....(but they still count..)

Moron Hit the post twice....us goaltenders call those pipes ,part of the equipment....lol

Still have my mask from 1971 ...played Midget Hockey and High School...practiced with some college players and played in the Beer Leagues.

Bruins looking good

blues start it off early...…..

tied up 1-1

yea baby

yee haw,,,,,,,,,,,,,2-1 blues

Good period of action ....some physical play out there by both teams ....

Most enjoyable 1/3.
Bawlstin losing???

This is gonna be good.

Chara is getting some new chicklets...

Ouch. Chara is gona feel that one. Hope he didnt lose any teeth.

Hard to watch that

That's using your head.

That almost short hander made me scream lol

Boston is not beating St. Louis to the puck like the ither games. No tenacity and look tired. That last shift was really long for them and they couldnt get it out of their zone.

wat was that SHORTHANDED

Dang. Can't give rebounds like that.

Embarrassing

Time to put the Hammah down !! 3rd Period coming up

St. Louis has dominated the action but Boston is hanging around ..... Blues better score the next goal .... Chara is one tough dude ....

Blues light the lamp!!!

Chara hasnt been on the ice since the injury....Bruins Defense working OT

We have a series again. Gloria. Let's go Blues

Wonder if chara broke his jaw? Said he never talked after getting whacked in the chops.

Sports Radio might have some info tomorrow

Keep us filled in

Blues rebounded better than I anticipated after the last loss. The Blues seem to be playing much harder than the Bruins yet seem to only be able to eke out the wins they get. Did feel that the Blues were coordinated better to slow down the Bruins rushes and took some of their speed out of the game. Will see what is exactly wrong with Chara, he is missed all over the ice but especially putting that size and talent in front of the net.

Bryce

Go blues go. I feel asleep in the 3td

I wonder if chara got his mouth sewed shut today, sure didn't look good for him last nite.

What's the word on the street nesdy?

Broken Jaw reported

Urgh. That's no bueno

A broken jaw shouldn't stop a hockey player.They'll just wire up his jaw like lacing up a skate.
You don't need a slack jaw to shoot skate or bodycheck.
Back in the day,Bobby Baun(Leafs) finished a game on a broken leg.He scored a goal.Same game he had his throat cut with a skate.After the game Tim Horton found him laying outside the team bus and he was rushed to the hospital.
Can you say tough?

Lots of guys will be waiting for a shot at him if he plays. He has been really physical with the whole league.

Yup...nobody said he was done for the rest of the playoffs. But it’s just like a cut ovah a Boxers eye.....every Blues player is going to throw a high elbow at it.

They can numb a jaw up pretty good and when wired shut it don't move much so it is mostly a matter of pain management and hopefully fitting a helmet and guard that will help somewhat. When my middle brother was walking home from his night job when he was 17 he got jumped by 4 guys and he got a broken jaw and was wired shut for about 5 weeks but that was in 1969. A blender comes in real handy and one of his canines got knocked out so he had an opening to use.

Bryce

Chara's a European,not Canadian.He's likely not tough enough.Don Cherry will verify that opinion.

I’d love to see Maroon ,take a cheap shot at him....and then Chara drop a right hand on him...break his jaw and knock him out....lol

85 ...and counting

I am not a Bruins fan-but give credit to a player like Chara-he is for sure tough enough-don't ever doubt that.I admire his skill and tenacity to play the game-he whooped Evander Kane a while back-so he is just flipping fantastic in my books.

I won't be surprised if he comes back he is getting up there in years this may be his last cup ..... Plus he is a foot taller than most guys so his jaw should be safe up there .... I remember how goofy he looked compared to other players when he entered the league a long time ago ....

I say chara is done for the season and possibly forever in the nhl. he gave it a good effort. Should be interesting how this series plays out without the b's captain.

He will not take this sitting down....is my bet.

I know the team looked tired last night ...being down a defenseman has to really wear on the others at this point of the playoffs .... The travel day came at a perfect time for Boston ...

The refs will ban one of the blues players to give boston a chance like they did with Kadri so they could beat the Leafs.

anything to help the boston ruins...…..

If Terasenko flops again with a mysterious stick to the face in Boston.....he might get called for it. He should have been a Montreal Canadien.

What Blues Team is going to show up Thursday Night ? Bet we run Binnington out of the net again.

The only way to know if he can play is to play and see how it unfolds. If he could even spell other D men say even 5-10 minutes in a game that would help. What we don't know is how much might the injury impact components of his game.

Bryce

hope he plays.. nobody deserves what he got in the finals...

My Moles informed me that Gryzlick is back ...And was at practice today....and got cleared to play Thursday. He was the guy that Sunquist ran into the glass . Chara was not at practice....but will be a game time decision. I don’t think the Goons from St Louis will have a hall pass in game 5 to take liberties, like they did in game 4...Different set of refs. Like Clubber Lang said “ I pity the Fool that that targets Charas Head “

wont hurt much if Chara is out

link to story


Pretty neat story new world record.

Gut.....link won’t open...^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Twenty minutes old might be a little young to be breaking records, but newborn Ann Marie Vancil managed exactly when she became the youngest person ever to be in the iconic Stanley Cup.

For parents Elizabeth and Cyrus Vancil, hockey super-fans, everything came together perfectly.

Their favorite team, the St. Louis Blues, had just pulled off an unlikely win in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals the night before, tying the series. The soon-to-be parents had hosted a watch party in their room at Mercy St. Louis hospital while waiting on Ann Marie to be born, and were thrilled to see their team win, 4-2.

"We had a watch party while I was in labor," Elizabeth told TODAY Parents. "That's what most people do, right?"

Little did the expectant mom know that with Stanley Cup fever sweeping her city, the NHL brought the famous trophy to Mercy St. Louis hospital in the hopes of breaking the record for "youngest baby in the Stanley Cup."

"We did not know, or even think, it was a possibility until the night before," said Elizabeth. "We got word that the Cup might be there in the morning, and that a baby might get to take a picture with it, and that's all we knew."

A family member at the hospital tracked down the trophy; medical staff checked in with Cyrus and Elizabeth to see if they wanted to break the record.

"Beth gave birth, and they took baby Ann over to the examination table, and another nurse I hadn't seen before came and asked me if we wanted Ann to be the Stanley Cup baby," said Cyrus. "We had heard a little bit about it, and I knew Beth would be OK with it, so I went and told her, and before we knew it we had the Stanley Cup coming into the room."

There was just one danger to skate around — there's a lot of superstition around touching the Cup, and the Vancils wanted to make sure they didn't do anything to jeopardize their team's potential win. They were careful to wrap Ann Marie in blankets, and nobody but the Cup's official handler laid a finger on the trophy.

"She didn't touch the Cup. I want to make sure everybody knows that," Elizabeth said.

The hospital even took to Twitter early this afternoon to confirm that they hadn't done anything to risk the Blues' chances at victory.

"No one touched the #StanleyCup there was a blanket barrier!" they announced.

The Vancils are still rooting for their team until the series ends, but they're also thrilled to have secured their own place in the Stanley Cup's history. The last record-holder, the newborn baby of a member of the Blackhawks' executive team, was in the Cup more than an hour and a half after their birth.

"We kind of killed the record," Elizabeth said.

"We think at 20 minutes old, unless they have a doctor that basically takes the baby out and puts it right in the Cup, we've got a good chance at keeping the record," Cyrus agreed.

To make it all better, the entire event was captured on video by NBC Sports.

Too Funny !

Guess the old record was 80 minutes in shitcago....

New up date......Chara will be playing with a broken jaw tonight.....we will see what we get from the Grizzled Captain. And Gryzlick skated but didn’t get clearance from the doctors ...so he is out. And the ref crew will be the same crew that Berube bitched about.......

didn't think Chara could look any more "goonish"...……….I stand corrected....

Wonder how long it'll take chara to get whacked with a upper cut?

Just sitting here..on my Hands

Still anyone's game, should be a great 3rd period. Both teams are throwing checks out like it's the 1st of the month....

Lol .... I give him credit for trying but he is not going to be much of a factor with a broken jaw .... He must be numb from head to toe ...

Good game. Gloria. Let's go Blues

LMAO !!!

Lol, I seen that at the end of the game too, they showed him for about 5 seconds then changed views.

that's to be expected from easterners... hes showing the blues how many goals the boston ruins scored

Oh that’s right......I heard ...you guys don’t swear out there ? Aw shucks....gee willagers....

For some reasons the Bruins fans seem to be letting this thread die off....

bump.... LOL

Lets go BLUES!

ol'dad

The Blues played very well and were again able to slow the rushes of the Bruins. The goal that was scored by the Blues after the trip should not have been. I heard the announcers explain about being on the offense in the offensive zone so play was not stopped but that was a penalty that should have been called. Would the outcome be different? We won't know.

I am a western division fan but the Blues were not on my radar until late in the season. Their young goalie and picking up O'Riely at the trade deadline have proven to be major positives for their team. O'Riely wins most of his face offs and that becomes key in close matches.

Bryce

"Stay classy Boston." LOL.

The bruins coach is complaining about the cheap shots last night and the refs... totally ignoring that he coaches one of the biggest cheap shot artists of all time. I can cut the irony with a knife.

It was missed call for sure. But the Bruins fans should thank the refs for giving their team and excuse for losing. It's a lot easier than just admitting that they just flatly got outplayed by the blues.

ol'dad

Looks like another suspension for another Dirty High Head Hit on Johansson....it was a weak bone thrown to the Bruins By the NHL...for not calling that obvious slew foot trip on Acchari. And Accahri was lost at the 9 min mark of that game. So far ...2 suspensions in 5 games for the Blues. You know the refs are going to swallow the whistle....so if I was head coach of the Bruins....it’s payback time...you want Old School hockey.....I think that can be arranged. And by the way.....game 7 in Boston ...I guarantee.

Poor Johansson...




LOL!

ol'dad

but your not the head coach of the ruins.. your a moron just like the rest of us... bwhahahahaaaa

Blues new motto....” If you ain’t cheatn...you ain’t trying “

They learned well from the Patriots. LOL

OMG! You guys have the dirtiest player in the league-he should have been suspended 5 x more than he has-seriously-" The RAT"

Sing along.....nah nah nah... nah nah nah....heyyy.... goodbye

The Cup May be in St. Louis.......but it won’t be on the ice........GO Bruins !

The Blues must own the record for the most players suspended during the Stanley Cup Finals ......you guys make the Hanson Brothers look like Saints !

Yah....but nobody got hurt...just licked a little....

lmao

you have to be kidding...………..

bwhahahahahaahaaaa

Should be another great game tonite, does the b's have enough depth to win or will they continue to rollover and hope for a penalty? There's a very good chance that this is the last game of the season.

The NHL feels very bad for the awful officiating the other night.....and iam sure they will help push this to gave 7 ....just for ratings alone and stir up a buzz . But the Bruins will not need any frigging help from any Offical tonight.....4-1 Bruins

ratings and money runs all sports... wont surprise me one bit if it goes 7

My moles tell me......

There will only be a handful of penalties called tonite, the game is nationally televised. The zebras have to keep the game flowing so it meets it's time frame for its time slot.

Smuck, good one. Is that the Mass, Official state animal?
Your Captain back playing?

I think I finally get to watch one.
In the voice of Trot, LETS GO PENS lol.

Oh yeah ..Chara will be playing....haven’t heard about Gryzlick.

Old Cam "Lefty" Neely better start warming up that pitching arm.

^^^^^^^^^^^ nice one....saw that live...lol

Sea Bass is really going to have a meltdown tonight when the Blues are dancing with Lord Stanley’s cup

it's all over tonight folks...………...

See who has the most puck possession in the first 5 minutes and that will tell all.

This one could be for all of the marbles...

there will be a game seven

Pretty cool National Anthem

Brett Hull looked like he wasn't feeling any pain...

Yeah

Nice saves by Raask

Did he say Savage Hit ??

Crappy call. The guy turned. There's your give back call from last game Boston.

Off with their heads !! Its now hunting season

Stay classy Blues

Not good for the Blues, Bruins can quit whining now

theres one

I thought I saw that Nessy

well bruins are getting the help they need

Good 1st period.

So now your a Blues fan ..since your Canadiens have sucked for 26 years.....

lol....yep!! any team but the bruins...……..

Do the Blues have something to play for tonight ?

Hey Blues.....20 more minutes to win the cup...or Get on a plane to Boston and think about what could have been.....it’s all about choices .

HUGE GOAL

This one appears to be ovah.... game 7 for all of the marbles Wednesday night.

Yup. Bruins can bite it.




GoHabsGo

Priceless.......

Bruins have played very well. The Blues stormed the goal early int the game but got few shots. Bruins do a great job in front of the net blocking shots and getting players out of position. It seems to me that the Blues don't have as good of system or what you want to call it when they enter the offensive zone. Also a lot of passes just off by being behind etc. which does not allow for quick release and Rask is up to the task.
The Bruins also are clearing better this game and they have been able to break up the Blues rushes early.
Blues will need a better game plan for game 7 or not let the Bruins take them out of their game plan.

Bryce

Looks like we have to do this again.

I should be a bookie....that empty netter ruined my 4-1 prediction

Hey nessy what's your pick on the next game? B's are home and have the momentum. The blues looked confused when in the offense zone tonite.

I’d like to play game 7...right in St Louis again...lol

Let’s Go Bruins !!!!!!

Hope it's a close game .... Blues need an early goal to get the crowd settled down ....

I hope it 2-0 Bruins ,at the end of the 1St......so my beer tastes bettah !

If that's the case I'm headed for bed early lol ..... First Stanley cup game 7 in Boston for the bruins ...

Well you got the score rite at least nessy.... Better start pounding those beers ....

Yup....not what I wanted...all up hill now

Bruins will come out strong in period 2 .... Bennington looks sharp tonight though .... He wants that con smythe trophy ......

Bruins had a period like the Blues have had several times. A lot of shots and time in the offensive zone but could not score. We will see if their lack of scoring will start to cause them to play with more anxiety and or hesitation.

Blues did find ways to open up the middle zone a few times and got better rushes and put the puck in the net.

Bryce

Bad change by that punk Marchand cost Boston on that last goal .... Those goals late in a period always hurt ...

yep!...…...but I'm going to bed, since I don't have a dog in this fight...…….since the Capitals aint playing....and I gota get up at 4:45 for work.

THAT'S RIGHT a Caps fan living an hour from Raleigh NC...…...gota root for MY home team since I went to their games from their first year in '74 until '80 when I left that area.

Binnington put on a clinic in the first.

Rask folded like a cheap lawn chair.

Beer is good and cold here.

Beer is good....win or lose,I still have to work tomorrow...lol

Binnington is a wall

The Blues are blood doping and doing lines of White Marching Powder between periods.....that guys interview was a dead give away !

not looking good

Will the bruins show up and make an effort to close the gap or will NHL history be made tonight ? The cup is being polished up and ready to be hoisted ....

The Blues were on Beantown like white on ice through the whole second period.

They are very lucky it’s not at least 3 – ZIP.

If you ain't cheating you ain't trying!

A Fantastic Finish is coming.......just like when the Patriots were down 28-3 with 2 minutes left in the 3 rd quarter vs Falcons in the Super Bowl.

Stranger things have happened .... I remember a few years back when the Chicago Blackhawks shocked rask and the bruins with a late goal .... If Boston gets the next goal look out ...

If the dog had'nt stopped to take a shat he would have caught the rabbit too.

What dog ? I think you are still riled up over the cake thread lol ....

Good God man even Pennsylvanians won't drink that rotgut.

That's a cow killer

Great game Blues ...and Congrats !!

Was a great series

I'm having fun on the cake thread.LOL.
All the bigots are riled up over there.

Very happy to get on here and see this vs. complaining and whatever else. Binnington has been standing on his head all night. Will definitely be the first star tonight, if not the MVP of the postseason and perhaps the season. Hands down one of the most entertaining postseasons I’ve watched in a LONG time (from a diehard fan of a team who’s been playing really poorly for the last 2-3 years...)

Make that 4.

I actually feel bad for Boston....embarrassing. You'd think they would at least try

lol
I used to live a few miles from the RR brewery. Loved to sneak in the storage area as a teen and steal the cases of broken bottles.
If one bottle was broken they'd toss the whole case.
I drank enough of that stuff to last me 6 lifetimes.

Anybody checked on Nessy lately??

Just sitting here.....taking it in the face .....

The big bad bruins really let the fans at td garden down tonight .... Congrats to St. Louis on their first ever cup ...

I'm sure hes rewatching the last super bowl

Ovah!

Now would be a good time to take a few minutes and reflect on some of the posts made earlier in this thread.


Bon Appétit !

Great series. Gloria. Way to go Blues

Hey guys. I just got off work. What did I miss? Did the Toronto raptors win the Stanley cup? Just kidding I caught the last period.

LeBron James won the Con Smythe trophy as well.

I’m so relieved that Boston didn’t win the cup!!!! Team is full of the biggest Aholes in hockey.

Congrats to St Louis!

Yup!

The gale force southwest winds blew the Nor'easter right out to sea. If I would have been in a pool say December on who would be in the playoffs and or win the cup I would have lost big time, but good to see the Western division hold their own.

No excuses for game 7. The Bruins got outplayed.

ol' dad

Yahoo St. Louie!

blues wanted it more than the ruins... Tarasenko's assist late in the game was just flat out hustle and speed.. neutral zone was incredible too..

Yes sir. Boston gonna have a long offseason to think about game 7. Blues Blues Blues! Gloria!

After 49 years the Saint Louis Blues hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup!


It looks like the Bruins could use a hug; and perhaps a little bit of counseling.

Happy for the Blues, looks like Bruins fans will be singing the blues for awhile ‘cause it’s OVAH


Somebody check on Nessy and give him a hug.

Boston Sports Radio should be good today....crapping on the Bruins...and how they lost 3 games in a row at home...and How Patrice Bergeron was invisible...on and on

I just checked the roster for the blues-20 Canadian players-no wonder they beat the bruins-the bruins are mostly American.

I figured it'd be nothing but crying about game 5

The guy that won the Conn Smythe played for 3 series with broken ribs happened playing dallas. To come out and lead your team by setting the tone of the game. He tied the record for scoring the most 1st goals of the game in the cup final.

The goal tender Jordan Bennington of the blues set a nhl record for the most wins by a rookie goalie. What a way to start your nhl career!!!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA, yep, LOVE it!!!!!

Marchand was crying after the game. I guess he was upset that he didn't get enough slew foots in during the series. Could be a great player... will forever be remembered for slew footing, licking, and dancing after he scores!

Thought Binner deserved the MVP, but I understand why O'Reiley got it. Both had amazing series

Was that the game Acchari was slew footed in front of the blind ref (That was supposed to ref game 7... But was excluded) and no penalty was called....and we lost Acchari for the last 9:00 of the game ?

Last nights game 7 ...reminded me of this....Buster Douglas was the bettah fight on that night.... But then slipped into obscurity.

Last night's game was the largest cup final audience everah for tv.

He also decided to make a line change which resulted in a St. Louis goal with 8 seconds left in the period .... A major turning point in the game IMHO .... Largest ratings for a NHL game since 1994 .... Good news for the NHL ....

so when do the 2019-2020 season start?

Usually first week of October ....

Well deserved. He made a lot of touchdowns this year

Not quite time for this to go away!



Blues! Blues! Blues! Play Gloria!

expecting 300000 downtown today.. what a party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard instead of building a wall, trump was gonna just Binnington down there instead lol
