The issue with the hit isn't the point of contact, it's the fact that it was a late blindside hit on a player unable to defend himself. It is predatory, unnecessary, and as the NHL likes to say, "not

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.

My old but trusty bag is filled with clubs I built...Integra SoooLong 450 10.5°, Jackaroo II 13* 16* 23*  hybrids, Dynacraft irons and wedges...plus a sweet Tad Moore Peach putter.

"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.

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.

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!

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

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
