NHL April 2019/ Playoff Thread

Holy cow what a 1st period that was!

Come on Blues, I can’t think of a piece of shit as detestable as Marchand who I hope never wins again since Claude Lemieux.

Blues came out strong to start 2nd period; I thought that was a good idea. I like that they turn it way up when there’s under 4 minutes left in the period. Good strategy: prolly wears the other team out a bit for 15 or 16 minutes, then press them hard for the last few.

I can see that the Blues players realized that if no one scores for the rest of the game, they win the Stanley Cup. I can see that a few Bruins have that in their head; I expect that during the break they’ll all have it in their heads.

Wow, 10 minutes left, and it was an east-west game before, but Boston is certainly playing like they know they need two goals. If Binnington keeps them at 0, I’ll be surprised.

ETA:3-0 now.

With 12 minutes left, I saw the Bruins finally enter “desperation mode”.

But that Blues goal there just sealed the Cup IMO. They’ve dominated since the first score IMO.

Grats Blues! Grats St. Louis!

ETA: And grats to Jordan Binnington for setting a record you only get one chance at; good job!

Binnington is a freaking walrus in goal tonight! (Apologies to Geico…)

3-0 Blues!

and it’s sealed.
ETA: time for 13-0?
:slight_smile:

Goal #4 is just for fun, aye? :smiley:

Yep.

NO SLEEPYS!:smiley:

and 4-0 Blues.

I don’t appreciate profanity, but fuck the Bruins.

YAY BLUES!!!

(ha ha, Bruins suck!)

And Fuck Marchand!! it is done.

I never thought I’d be genuinely happy to see the Blues win the Stanley Cup, but here I am. CONGRATS BLUES!!!

I approve of this message.

Gee, what a shame – says the chick from Pittsburgh! :smiley:

too many posts

As a kid I watched Blues games from the rafters in the old Arena. (Seriously, I think the only person higher up was the organist.) This has been a long time coming.

Congrats Blues!

Yeah, congrats, Blues!!!

Heh, and the crowd is booing the Conn Smythe winner. Stay classy, Boston.

Ryan O’rielly says “fucking” live on Canadian TV and it gets laughed off.
I love it!
