Post-Game Talk: 2018/2019 Stanley Cup Champions! St. Louis Blues!

[M2Beezy]

Yes! My buddy!

Congrats, must feel good, you guys are a humble bunch here, after all the nonsense i said about your team, all Ive gotten is a nice respone from you guys. Really not what i was expecting.

I laugh at some other fans on this site who think what the Blues just did is a one time thing. Pretty young team, or in their primes at least. Maybe a lot rest on Binnington (the non fascist lol) shoulders but what a deep team up and down, those guys are just gonna OOZE ocnfidence now which will make them tougher to play against

How can I view the main boards GDT's for the finals?

Was wondering this too. I hope they don’t delete those.

I think all those threads just get merged into the NHL General Board.

I spent part of Thursday watching game 7 for the fifth time on my Tivo. I still get a lump in my throat as the seconds tick down and the bench empties.

I'm watching Game 7 again as I post this reply, our boys are the Stanley Cup Champions!!

I'm pretty sure that they're indexed such that when the playoff forum is re-opened next year, all the threads created in the playoff forum will reappear there.

My wife had a minor procedure earlier this week and the first thing she asked the nurse as she was coming to from the anesthesia was if the Blues had really won the Stanley Cup or if she just dreamt it while she was under. And that's why I love her.

I have an Nhl.tv subscription and watched all our winning games from the start of the playoffs through the end. There were so many great moments I had forgotten about, including Bortuzzo's backhander in Game 2 against the Sharks. Took me like two weeks to watch all of them, but was super cool. Also, all the Away broadcasts were Sportsnet Canada, and was such a pleasure to listen to their commentary compared to NBCSN.

My wife is out today. So, guess what I am doing?

As we speak there is 12:10 left in the second, and the Blues are up 2-0. I doubt that I will ever get tired of watching this game.

One of these days I'll figure ut how to get this file copied from the Tivo to the computer and in a standard video format.

Do you remember when Brent Burns got Scooby-Doo feet and fell down right before we scored? Yeah that was awesome, I giggle uncontrollably every time that highlight is on.

Stanley Cup Champions people, Stanley Cup Champions.

You might say that was the turning point of the series.

Ayyy there it is! Looking good Brent, you are forever Scooby-Doo feet you f***ing wookie. Thanks Ranksu and yeah it did seem to be a turning point.

This was the first shift after the hand pass. San Jose never threatened again

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Vlad has been my favorite ever since he’s been here. This is such a great picture

 

[Meatball]

Our 4th line was just awesome. On any other team they're no worse than a 3rd line.

I don't know if this has been discussed anywhere... but on the Petro's goal in the first period, should Tarasenko have gotten an assist?

It's not entirely clear on the TV broadcast how the puck moves up the ice, but it sure looked to me like he pushed it forward with his hand or maybe even his stick. He was down on the ice at the time and it just sort of popped out of the scrum. Unfortunitally, there aren't a lot of angles on this part, but it was this play that really got the whole rush started and I don't think he gets any credit for it.

Do hand passes not count as assists? If you push the puck out of the defensive zone with your hand and it goes down the ice for a goal, are you awarded an assist? Did something else happen to push the puck forward?

Anyone have a better angle?

EDIT: You know what, I just watched it like 5 times in a row and now I think that it was just a terrible pass by Pastrnak.

It’s impossible to see with the camera angle but I’d agree it looks like Pasta backhanded it to the point

THIS WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER GET OLD. I'm tearing up just typing that. LEGENDS. Every goddamn one of them.

Remember when Jordan Binnington was going to be intimidated by a bunch of Canadians in white t-shirts yelling real loud?

You mean RACIST Jordan Binnington. Wow that seems like a long time ago.

Lol this post season was epic and I had forgotten entirely about the circumstances behind the 'Whiteout' in all the excitement. I just remember being assured that crowd noise in Winnipeg is special, and very scary for professional athletes who evidently crumble under the supernatural pressure. And also scary white t-shirts. Of course, I mean how else would you intimidate a guy who couldn't possibly care less.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I still can’t believe we beat a team along the way that had THREE of the top ten dman in the league. That was crazy.

It is quite funny thinking back to game 1 against the Jets. The “you look nervous” chant.

If only they knew what was about to unfold. That Binnington would eventually be playing in game 7 of the Cup Final and still didn’t look nervous in that game. Instead, he put on an epic show.

What a guy. I will always love Jordan Binnington no matter what. He is an icon and proved so many people wrong.

You know something that never really gets talked about but I think is amazing? Is that the Blues didn’t pick up anyone who played in the playoffs at the trade deadline. It seems like everyone that wins loads up at the trade deadline but the Blues didn’t. I sort of wish it would get talked about more.
