So they sit Backes just to give Heinen 8 minutes - Have an extra defenseman so Clifton can get 6 minutes, Kampfer 8... I just don’t get it

 

[Oates2Neely]

Blues have been the better team past 2 games. Their best players have shown up. Bruins just aren’t getting the level of play they need from Bergeron Marchand Krejci Pastrnak. At this stage, your best players have to make their presence known. O’Reilly is owning the Bergeron line. And he’s finding ways to produce offense, ugly offense but offense nonetheless.

I don’t feel good about game 6. Going into their building for a Cup clinching game makes this fan nervous. Potential to get rolled. The Blues are playing some solid hockey.

I don’t want to hear about the refs. We aren’t the Canucks or the Canadiens, we are Bruins fans.

f*** the NHL.

My female co-worker asked me if I was over my "Mantrum"

The Bruins dominated 2/3s of last night.

I was ****ing pissed has the non calls were pilling up.

This is the part that is interesting. When you go back and look at some of the stuff that STL has gotten away with (physically) in previous rounds and games, it’s like people think that it’s ok to play that way.

There has literally been multiple dirty plays/headshots by the Blues in every game and it’s gotten to the point where you see the Sanford hit and are like, well, that’s nothing compared to THIS play. It’s nuts.

The point of sitting Backes was so that Chara could play, and they decided on 7 D for insurance, in case he or another defenseman went down during the game.

they dressed 7D so that if Chara couldn't play they wouldn't be stuck with 5D. You can definitely argue someone other than Backes should have been the one to sit, but he may be dealing with some kind of injury where having basically a week off helps him more than it would someone else.

Yeah pretty screwed up.they give Pasta extra time to do what?

Stop blaming the refs and start blaming the multimillionaires doing nothing. Bergeron. Marchand. Krejci. Pastrnak. These "leaders" are doing diddly squat in the finals and ruining a chance at winning the cup. Pathetic.

It ain’t over till it’s over.

Ivan barbashev to have a hearing

He definitely gets a game and maybe even two

98.5 underrating that loss for the Blues

Ivan has been a reaper out there, bruins have more room and look over their shoulder less if he sits

 

[Widdlez]

Weird feeling after this one tbh.

After game 4 I was incredibly angry because it felt like the Bruins didn't show up. But this game they showed up and got screwed. I know theres countless "okay the call was bad but the bruins didnt deserve this one anyway" posts but it didn't feel like the Blues did anything to earn this win either. I thought they got outplayed a majority of the game and yet they still win.

Yet i'm not as angry, i just want it pushed out of my brain. just pure apathy.

 

[BAD BOY]

My move for game 6 would be... just this.. if possible...

Grizz in.. Moore out going with 6 D
Kamp our and Backes who’s already out/ Kuhlman in

Go on if you must.

I love you TP

Feeling sad but still hopeful. I will be there to the bitter end but if the Bruins can’t rally I don’t think we will see a Cup anytime soon . I’ve been a passionate fan all my life but win or lose next year will be different. I will watch some games but not every game but the passion or desire to experience another Stanley Cup will be dimmed .

I imagine their 13th forward is eager to impress Berube and Ott.

So now this is going to be the second suspension for a Blues player due to a hit to the head in the same f***ing series and neither hit has even got 2 minutes on the ice. And we got the joy of having to play with 5D for basically the whole game + OT in game 2 which absolutely was a reason (if not the main reason) we lost.

Clearly there is a f***ing problem here.

I'm not sure what to think no more, I mean what the hell is going on, the bias is so obvious that its mind boggling.
The worst part is... they're getting away with it. The league, refs and the Blues.

I’m blaming both actually,these guys better have some major type of injuries going on for the way they have played.

The Sundqvist hit did get two

It's the Seattle Seahawks style of pass defense. Even if you commit pass interference and holding on every play, they're not going to call it every time. After a little while, the refs just start to consider it their style of play, so it doesn't even occur to them to call a penalty.

 

[Jaguar God]

Why do Blues fans feel the need to come here and pretend to be friendly?

 

[GoCanes2015]

Kudos to Chara for playing with the busted jaw, but he was a liability last night. Adding the 7th D as a result didn't help. Bruins top guys have been ghosts.
