Pre-Game Talk: SCF GAME 2 - 5/29 - 8:19 PM - Blues (0) @ BRUINS (1) - NBCSN, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS, 98.5 WBZ-FM

[TD Charlie]

I think if the Bruins jump out early by two or more, the Blues will start looking ahead to Game 3. I don’t think they (the Blues) can play from behind.

Even worse they couldn’t play with a lead

I was actually surprised by what a large margin the Bruins dominated the Blues. The fact that their shots were SO limited should stand out. Let's not count our chickens before the eggs are hatched, but trust this team.

Nothing wrong having an accurate inventory of your assets and projections, this way you can prepare and plan accordingly.

We.got.this.

 

[Krupp]

Speaking of Krug, he needs to keep his head on a swivel tonight

You just gotta expect the Blues are coming out hammering everyone tonight if they can help it....and someone is especially gonna try to line Krug up. That could just be me, and I hope i'm wrong, but i'd be prepared for it

 

[Krupp]

Also, THEY CAN DO THIS! Just three more wins!

 

[Spooner st]

The Blues are a good team but their not as good as Boston. The bruins were off in game one, but still dominated the last 38 minutes and came away with a convincing win.

The Bruins are the better team period! The blues struggle defensively in their own end lead by Edmundson and the Bruin forwards are much more quicker an agile than the Blues defenders as a core.

Their faster, more skilled play a better defensive game and have the better goalie. Johansson and Debrusk were flying by the blues defense. The bruins were sloppy and were off with their passing and communication in game one, once the rust comes off they'll be even better, I don't see this series going past 6 games, more likely Bruins wrap it up in 5.

Totally agree, it won't pass 5 at most. We are that much better period.

 

[Spooner st]

Well according to a poster on the main board, the Bruins have had an easy path to get to the final

Yes we did, we are that good.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

On Prince Spaghetti Day?
I predict a great game by PASTA!

He is definitely past due.

 

[Spooner st]

Of course, this means the main boards will use this as proof that the Bruins have the refs in their pockets. Hell, one of them is even FROM Boston. Never mind the fact that he's easily the most anti-Bruins ref in the league....

In every series win, we beat the opponent and the the bad calls.

 

[Spooner st]

He is definitely past due.

That's definitely an understatement.

 

[The National]

The media’s comparison of Krug’s hit with Orr’s goal is a bit sickening.

 

[remer]

Getting tired of Canadian reporters not giving any credit to the Bruins. They were sure the Leafs would beat the Bruins and when it didn't happen the country deflated. Then they move onto Columbus. Well they had no chance against Columbus because they dismantled Tampa. Well the Bruins handled Columbus with little credit. Then we are playing the Cinderella team "The Bunch Of Jerks". Well the Bruins can't beat Mr. Game 7? Still after they won the first two games, all they talked about was the Washington series and how Carolina came back from 2-0. Well it didn't happen. Now, all we hear is that Boston has had too many Championships. Plus the refs gave the game to the Bruins. Better watch out for game two as the Blues and Mr. Binnington will show the Bruins . Wow..... very little credit given to the Bruins.

I bought this at the beginning of the playoffs, it was something like 20$ at the time iirc. I can watch every playoff game live and I can also watch full games later from the archive. It's a great deal. But depending on where you live you, it might not work so well for you. It says blackouts apply (not sure if only to live games or also the archive). I live in the Netherlands and there are no blackouts for me, but you should check whether that's the case for you before buying it.

I had it for several years by now. Blackouts apply to live games only and ALL of the SC Finals will be blacked out in the US because NBC owns the rights. Haven't tried it with VPN, may even work.

especially if he really rocked Thomas and he's out tonight. He didn't play much after that hit,if at all.

 

[Spooner st]

Back in the day the habs had a couple of Quebec born referees (Denis Morel, Ron Fournier) who I swear must've been on the Canadiens payroll

Most of the time the Bruins played the habs with either of these two refs officiating, it was a loss (especially in the old Montreal Forum) as they did their damn best to help their favorite team win.

Rooney on the other hand, (for whatever reason) does not do the Bruins any favors

They weren't on the Habs payroll... but they had other privileges. And where well received by the local businesses.

Ron Fournier after retiring has a radio show in French " Sports Fans" in the evening. You can't have a more homer than that.

 

[sooshii]

So you're saying he's not a one-hit wonder?

Denis Morel and Ron fournier...yes indeed. Fournier has a radio sports show now(as Spooner mentioned). I think the scabs had quite a few on their payroll .. They may have had the some bruins mgmt guys on their payroll too...how else can we explain the Dryden trade
In all seriousness , i dont think they had anyone on their payroll , its more as Spooner explained . They did have a very strong influence on the league

 

[pgm16]

The Bruins will be ready if the Blues try to manhandle them. These kids have learned well from the core. This team is so focussed, they can handle adversity. And I don’t work tomorrow, no need to get up at 6 am

 

[alg363636]

Just do what you did before but Bergeron and Pastrnak don't suck. Pure domination.

GO BRUINS!! 3 MORE!

 

[nazartp]

especially if he really rocked Thomas and he's out tonight. He didn't play much after that hit,if at all.

Berube claimed that Thomas is OK and will play.

First time I'm gonna complain about the 8:00 PM start - I pulled my shoulder over the weekend and couldn't sleep at all last night. Need caffeine.

That's good, props to the kid if he does.

Shoulder stuff is the worst, I'm sorry, hope it feels better soon.

 

[JCRO]

Longest. Workday. Ever.

I cant focus. So excited for this.

Take this one and the pressure is all on the Blues heading back to St. Louis!

LFG B's!

Well they’ll be forced to give credit if they win 3 more games!

VPN trick has not worked well for me.

 

[Mathews28]

Despite near total domination in Gm 1 after the first period, I remain cautiously optimistic here...the product of late 70's B's-Habs series, 1986 Sox, 2003 Sox I guess.

Looking for a great game by Krejci tonight. I've really been impressed by his all around game, particularly when the B's were under siege at times, his puck control was key.
