Happy to see the Blues get their first Cup. Long overdue.

Happier to see the Bruins not win it, but the icing on the cake is that bloody Marchand character gets to wear the horns. That last-second line change at the end of the first period totally opened up the ice for Pietrangelo's goal.

"They took our dream", Skater-Man-Rat said afterward.

Gotta love it.

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

Blues were the better team. They won three games in Boston. Congrats. Boston wrecked St Louis dreams in Superbowls and the World Series, so they got one back here.

I know Marchand is an annoying player, but he is OUR annoying player. He's like the bug that terrorized me last week playing with @billchao But you would love Marchand if he was on your team. :-P

The Blues had a few chippy players too, they were just bigger!! A lot bigger!

I'll concede that, but, of course, he's not on my team.

It was a massive mistake he made there.  That game goes to intermission 1-0 STL, I'm convinced the second period would have been very different.

The look on his face after that puck went in told the story. Not surprised that he was absolutely gutted after that game.

Not me. He's a disgrace and the fact that he's still playing in the NHL shows you exactly how much the league cares about player safety.

I'm with @billchao. Didn't care for Matt Cooke's stuff, either, and definitely supported the Pens when they cracked down on him. Pity too because like Cooke (and more so than Cooke), Marchand has actual skills.

But it was your bug at The Links, wasn’t it?😝

He does a lot of stupid, pointless things for a player with his skill level.

Right. He can actually play at a high skill level. He just can't help but be dirty.

I don't mind an antagonist but he crosses over the line too far and too often.

I also called the clubhouse and told them to run the sprinklers on you. That's what you get for hitting your drive in the middle of the fairway. Nobody has any business hitting their ball there 😜

Amazing, the Blues pulled it off in Boston never less.
I had low expectations after they were trounced at home in game 6, but what an amazing run they had this year.
The city is in a frenzy with our first cup in St Lou.

Looking forward to the parade tomorrow.

      "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
