Well this whole thing is going in the least attractive way possible.  I'd really prefer not to see the Bruins win The Cup, but that freaking Rask guy is just too damn much.

 

They are the one Original Six team I have a hard time rooting for after my Rangers bow out (or not make it in this case  LOL).

Honestly, after the ridiculous ending to the Sharks-Blues Game 3 the other night it's hard to even want to commit another evening to watching hockey. I have always enjoyed the playoffs but to spend three+ hours watching a game only to have it end with an awful non-call in OT...? jeez. they have the technology to get things right, especially in a crucial playoff game. Just pathetic look for the NHL. But not a surprising one.

"OH BABY" a long time announcer Ken Wilson for the Blues used to say, the Hockey Gods have answered my prayers.
Hard to believe the Blues are going to the play in a Stanley Cup Final after 49 years.

I was a senior in High School when the Blues played Boston in their last Cup appearance in 1970.
Can this finally be our year !!!

Were still here, We bleed Blue !!!

I don't always root for Western Conference teams, but when I do they are playing against Boston.

Best of luck to the Blues.

Well you don't have to worry about this guy this time.

This one they actually earned, so in a way it's like their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance 😜

They were the best of the expansion teams back then. They "earned" those too! 🙂

Yes they "earned" those finals appearances, but I feel the same way about them as I do about Byron Nelson's consecutive wins streak.

He was a great one …

Between work, tornado-related interruptions and early bed times, I've only seen the first two periods of game 2, but good job Blues.

Getting a win in Boston is big.

Looking forward to Saturday when I can watch the whole game in peace and comfort.

Interesting stat (if you can get past the reflection...definitely NOT BamaWade's work/undies/legs!).

The Bruins' top line seems to start off stymied early in every series (very apparent to anyone familiar with the team and watching), then really turns it around.  Adjustments, I guess?  I bet we see a similar turnaround in this series.  STL played a strong game last night, but outside of injuries tilting things their way, I can't see 'em winning this series.  I think we'll see another split to go 2-2, then Boston take the next two and win it in 6 (and yet another celebration on away ice).  Go Bruins!

My blues had a bad game last night.   Let’s hope they come out and jump on Boston hard in game 4.

Happily, they did. I was impressed that they didn't let that short-handed concession bother them too much.

It was a bit surprising to me that Chara never came back. That puck must of done a lot more damage than just a few stitches.

Yep, was a fun game to watch.  Wish I could afford tickets to go. Chara has been reported to have fractured jaw, so he should be out.  sucks, I want to win with a full team.  I think if blues can get game 5 they can win it all in 6

Congrats to the Blues. Very, very glad that they won.

I love how Bettman gets booed, every year, without fail.
