SCF GAME 2 (8:21 PM ET) - St. Louis (0) @ Boston (1) - NBCSN, CBC, SN(4K), TVAS, NHL Radio

[StLHokie]

So? What difference does that make? They were still not good enough to get to the cup final. Boston is.

The fact that you guys are arguing that the Stars are on the same level as the Bruins is mind boggling. The amount of overreaction after 1 game on this forum is hilarious. Bruins win game 1 and people think they're gonna win in 4. Now St. Louis wins and people think Boston is as weak as the Blues' 2nd round match up.

So the Rangers in 2014 were a better team than the Hawks in 2014 right?

 

[Honey Bear]

lol The St. Louis overreactions.. my goodness. Some of you fans need to pipe down.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Hats off to Rask. Should have been the player of the game. Blues dominated. This could have easily been 8-2.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Rask just isn't that good of a goalie, good but nothing special, top 20 starter in the NHL.

He’s better than that. He’s played very well in the playoffs so far.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Umm what? I love Binnington, but Rask is better.

Nah. Rask has already tapped his potential in his career where Binnington is a rookie and is already a top 5 goalie in the league. He will be a future HHOFer and will win a few vezinas in his career.

 

[Stelmacki]

Yeah they head hunted and knocked Pavs and Hertl out while targeting a hobbled Karlsson high as well. After that hand pass you guys had 18 PP advantages including two 5 on 3’s and a penalty shot. I’d rather that hand pass didn’t happen because it was clear that the Blues were given free reign to go high. Bettman’s recent comments and NHL player safety (oxymoron) not reviewing anything make that pretty clear.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Wouldn't expect that to continue.

Yet there's no reason to suspect it won't.

 

[Louie the Blue]

This is where the Blues have the advantage. Binnington is better than Rask. Binnington hasn’t even played his best yet but will. Rask I feel will choke. The Blues wore down the Jets, Dallas and SJ. The physicalty like you seen tonight will take it’s toll on Boston. Blues will finish them off in 6 as they are a better team.

I'm not ready to say that regarding this series given that Binnington has no little to no history compared to Rask.

I think Binnington's level of play is something that is sustainable and Rask's level of play prior to this series wasn't. The Blues have adjusted to the Binnington's regression from his unsustainable level of play(which started happening sometime in March).

I still think Rask will play well the rest of the series, just not at the out of this world rate he was playing at beforehand. It will be interesting to see how the Bruins play as a result.

 

[68Blues]

That was a thorough ass whoopin'. Bruins looked absolutely gassed halfway through the third period on. It'll be interesting to see how they adjust.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Wait are people saying Rask isn't great? What is this board becoming

 

[Honey Bear]

So the Rangers in 2014 were a better team than the Hawks in 2014 right?

Yes they were. The Hawks were lucky to get to the WCF that year and to even push it to 7 after the Kings let their foot off the gas. The Hawks never lost when they were the better team during their dynasty.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Nah. Rask has already tapped his potential in his career where Binnington is a rookie and is already a top 5 goalie in the league. He will be a future HHOFer and will win a few vezinas in his career.

Future hall of famer? Might want to wait a bit before we start talking about that.

 

[Burynai]

lol The St. Louis overreactions.. my goodness. Some of you fans need to pipe down.

In all fairness....scroll through after Game 1.

 

[Over the volcano]

Nah, the Blues gifted both of Boston’s goals to them. Better team won.

If you want to play that game then - three goals went off of bruins sticks tonight.

 

[Honey Bear]

In all fairness....scroll through after Game 1.

Well I eluded to that too. HF overreacts after every game. It's nuts lol

 

[Tundra]

 

[Louie the Blue]

Rask loses his first game since April 30 and all of a sudden he's a below average goaltender, LOL. If the Bruins win he’s getting the Conn Smythe.

I don't know if you're alluding to my posts, but that's not my argument at all.

I think the Rask we saw tonight and on Monday are what we can expect for the rest of the series and not the level of play he performed at from the first round to the ECF.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Is this actually tonight after the loss? I didn't see it.

Yes it was from tonight, Rask could have easily injured someone. You just can't be giving the boards a full two hander tomahawk chop. This ain't the WWE.

 

[Burynai]

Well I eluded to that too. HF overreacts after every game. It's nuts lol

I would absolutely agree with you. Long way to go.....emotions running high

 

[Chet Manly]

That's before they started gooning it up.

Hey did you ever catch the license plate number of the Cadillac that was towing Krug up the ice the other night?

 

[TheDizee]

Still... he's definitely better than this and still the best goalie the Blues would have faced even if he toned down a bit. None of those western teams the Blues faced are as good as the Bruins.

Uh no, Bishop says hello.

 

[Honey Bear]

Uh no, Bishop says hello.

Nope

 

[Over the volcano]

He’s not wrong on both counts

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

Yes it was from tonight, Rask could have easily injured someone. You just can't be giving the boards a full two hander tomahawk chop. This ain't the WWE.

that was from tonight ? lulz what a head case

 

[BlazBlues]

Hell its not even as scary as couture and literally anyone two other sharks

hilarious. couture felt like two players in one. Couture and karlson and seguin and benn scared the crap out of me. I'm more worried about the bruins 2-4 lines.
