I had reasons for both sides, brother is a huge Bruin fan and the stupid ROR crap (yes you won blues fans you won big but we also just added Ryan Johnson who could of went as high as 20 and Colin Miller from that trade, just so know) the only reason I say ROR crap is because he wouldn’t even had a chance at the smythe if the blues weren’t already a good team. He was their leading scorer in january when they were dead last and it wasn’t taking them anywhere until binnington and berube changed the team. Plus that team is a real team. ROR was amazing in the finals but the award is for the whole playoffs he did end up on top in scoring but petriangelo was right there and if a d as good as him and captain is a couple Pts behind and scored the game seven winning goal why couldn’t he of been the winner? it would of made the chirping noises easier to bear and I could of just been flat out happy fot the blues lol.... mean ROR didn’t really even show up until the finals. He had a case though and ultimately he won but he was on an amazing team. That was a real team and he didn’t play that way here. Anyway I was happy for berube my dad is friends with him from childhood and I met him when I was 8 at an NHL game capitals vs Canucks in 1996. Good guy. Great coach. He deserved one after losing in 2010 as an assistant with Philly. And I have a soft spot for suffering fanbases so all and all it was fine.
The blues are a well oiled machine, they play as good collectively under berube as any team as I’ve seen especially on the road. A perfect road gAme that’s there game.
I was cheering for them in the respect for the coach the suffering fans and the length of suffering Time that us sabres, leafs and Canucks fans know too well.
I have already forgot the playoffs.
Me too, it’s weird I had a hard time remembering who was in the first round yesterday, I eventually got it after about three minutes of thinking but that’s a long time because I can name the first round and most often their results of he playoffs for the last near thirty years.
