got to love the never say die mentality the Blues live by, it's now a best 2 out of 3 series, both teams are playing great.

And they play “Gloria”

That third was incredible. Everyone hat played in that game needs an ice bath.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

the funny part is all the B's fan are screaming bloody murder over the officiating and I watched both game 3 and 4 the only difference was the other team was getting the calls.. the perfection line is doing more button hooks and avoiding the back of the net then nylander did the whole series against the B's they really don't want to get lined up by the blues forcheck or defense

Really? Three games left.....no need for refs the rest of the way.

And they play “Gloria”

I was today’s years old to realize the lyrics were “Gloria” and not “warrior”. So I got that going for me right now. Big night.

 

[DitchMarner]

The Blues can really make the Bruins look bad when they apply heavy pressure on the forecheck or get a cycle engaged.

 

[Havoc]

Definitely wasn't the big bad bruins tonight.

Backed out of so many plays to avoid being hit.

 

[crump]

Things are looking up for the Blues. They were swept in all their other Finals appearances (three straight years coming into late 60's expansion). These are their first wins in a finals series ever. It would be nice to see them and their fans get this.

And they made a lot of plays, but in the 3rd they had no room.

They were dishing them out, too. Hits were 45-41 for the Blues.

Watched the 3rd., and it wasn't just a few Blues throwing hits.
Bruins tried but were outplayed.

Edit: Parayko at $5.5mm is a bloody steal!

He’s a rat.

Good thing at was after a whistle. Embellishing would the type of PP Boston would score on.

Bruin's fans would remind you "yeah he's a rat, but he's our rat." Every team in the NHL would love to have him on their teams, just as every team hates playing against him.

As a fan, I wouldn't want him on the Leafs.

So I decided to read a couple pages of the Series Discussion thread on the main board, and it's literally nothing but bitching about officiating. Jesus christ lmao, the amount of whining from Bruins fans about the refs is unreal. They had zero issues with Chara going around punching guys in the back of the head but it's an absolute travesty that Backes got hauled down by the neck in front of the Blues net. These nitwits really do have zero self-awareness.

I'm sorry and I know this won't be a popular opinion because it's Marchand, but he barely touched him there. Just a goalie trying to make it look like more than it was and try and get a PP.

Maybe he embellished. Maybe when he twisted the large goalie pad it knocked him out of balance.

In any case Marchand taking the extra foot to tap the goalie is a bitch move.

 

[hockeywiz542]

Did Chara break his jaw?

 

[Nineteen67]

Big blow.

Y?

If the play was going on he would likely get an embellishment penalty.

I think it’s smart , too. Do anything to get under their skin.

Sadly, once upon a time back in January, Willy was too good for Parayko.

That trade was never anything else than a fantasy, so why does it matter if some fans wasn't enthused about the trade?
