Also, textbook refs at a Bruin game. Call multiple weak calls to let them get back in it. Now they will swallow the whistle and Boston will win while taking liberties with the Blues.

No, the calls on the Blues were warranted. Now, when the Bruins do something and nothing is called...

Blues penalties were pretty obvious. But yeah, Boston gets away with some "old time hockey" way too much.

The upper echelon teams in the east are so much faster than what the best teams of the west have to offer. This looks like it is going to be a short series unless STL get really lucky.

Blues got the lead and tried to just control the game and took the foot off. They were still getting good possession but threatened less. Gotta go for it still or this happens. 1 goal up isn’t enough of a buffer for that so early in the game.

Blues are not the most talented team but you can bet they will fight hard...Bruins coach seems to know what to do, amazing adjustments, making them fast exchanges from one side to the other behind the big Blues defenders, stand on that blue line...this will be a short series

Blues have beaten some pretty good teams on the way to the finals.

Guaranteed 1 thing... everyone in St Louis is yelling SHOOOOOOT.

Like 3-4 3 on 2s ended up with dumb ass passes.

Trying to make Rask go cold. Bold strategy. Let’s see if it pays off Cotton.
