I have faith that if I live a good life, I will get to see someone turn Marchand's face into pudding.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 05-28-2019, 12:26 AM

Yeah, that punk makes me wish Tony Twist was still around. 😄

Blues have lost game 1 before, but blowing the lead still worries me. I hate Boston teams, have I mentioned that?

Hockey is a weird game, how things can turn in the blink of an eye seemingly more than any other sport.
But, dumb penalties aside, those final two periods scared me.
The Blues looked like they didn't belong on the same ice as the Bruins, who were so fluid with their skating and passing.
Binnington did everything he could to keep the Blues in it, but the kid can only do so much and what if he hits the wall?
This series may be a short one.

Where as NHL Network and NBC has sets Steve Levy and Barry Melrose have to stand but at least at World Series and Super Bowl can have a set.

It reminded me of how the Canes Bruins series started.

Yeah, not really getting why the Bruins are all of a sudden this unstoppable force, when they were about the same level as the Blues in the regular season - good, not great. I guess they ate their Wheaties or sumpthin'.

Cobra Mgr · 05-29-2019, 08:43 PM

Amazing how many penalties the refs have somehow missed vs Boston this playoff.

Cobra Mgr · 05-29-2019, 10:46 PM

Well, at least it's nice to not see the Booins dominate another 3rd period.

Cobra Mgr · 05-29-2019, 11:11 PM

YES! If the Blues lost this one after dominating the 3rd & OT, I don't know if they could recover.

You can say that about every team. Human nature to single out the team you don't like, I guess.

Boomcoach · 05-30-2019, 08:33 AM

Not a serious NHL fan, but have followed the sport on the periphery for quite a while. I was amazed to find out that this was the first Blues win in the finals.

One good thing, I have a niece who has become a big Blues supporter this year. It has been fun to see her posts about it on social media, after her never being much of a sports fan. Lets see if it survives when they are not making the finals.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 05-30-2019, 10:26 AM

No sweep for Da Booins! Man, this may go seven. Either team could easily be up 2-0 with a few breaks going their way. If the Blues win, Binnington will almost certainly get the Conn Smythe, and will become my Favorite Player In The History Of Ever.

That kid's been playing great. If the Bruins win, it'll probably be Rask. Though I'd love to see a lunch pail guy like Kuraly or Clifton win it.

Cobra Mgr · 06-01-2019, 09:06 PM

What in the name of Terry Metcalf is going on in St. Louis?

Cobra Mgr · 06-01-2019, 09:50 PM

The Bruins PP is as lethal as cyanide.

ThatSeventiesGuy · 06-02-2019, 01:49 AM

That pathetic performance made me want to puke. Either start playing to win and stop acting like you're just happy to be there, or get the hell out. Idiots. I know they just made it this far to let me down again. God, I hate this team. Pieces of crap.

rink23 · 06-02-2019, 02:36 AM

He didn't get much help, but Bennington was awful tonight.

Like the final two periods of Game 1, the Blues didn't look like they belonged on the same ice as the Bruins.
And quit giving Boston power plays.

I saw a stat tonight they scored 3 or maybe 4 power play goals while using less than 3 minutes of ice time.
Hopefully, the Note can turn it around again like they did in Game 2 and there is no damage to Binny's psyche.
If not they'll be raising the Cup in the Garden on Thursday.

mgom27 · 06-02-2019, 09:25 AM

They might have won if didn't have extra day off but NHL and NBA want to have theses extra days off and don't want to play on same day or even schedule Game in Afternoon on Weekend.

Cobra Mgr · 06-03-2019, 08:32 PM

that was quick.
