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

[Kreegz2]

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.

give it a rest with that shit dude. Binnington and Schenn did the exact same after the game 3 handpass goal vs the sharks. I want to see more emotion in the game, not less.

 

[AwesomeSince86]

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 freedom to go high. Bettman’s recent comments and NHL player safety (oxymoron) not reviewing anything make that pretty clear.

I get you're upset because your team is done and are looking for any excuse. Sure, not having 3 top players in game 6 hurt. But you were also waxed in game 5 and outplayed in game 4.

The PPs in Blues favor that series didn't happen because of some mystery conspiracy against the Sharks. It happened because the Blues outworked and outskated the Sharks and they took penalties because they were tired, second to the puck, and getting outplayed.

 

[Honey Bear]

He’s not wrong on both counts

Wakey wakey Backes. lol

 

[bluesfan94]

That's fine, I'm not even saying that Bishop was bad. Rask is the reason the Bruins are in the cup final. Bishop didn't make it far enough.

That’s silly though. He didn’t make it far enough because the blues outplayed the team in front of him.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Suspension for Sundqvist?

 

[Over the volcano]

Wakey wakey Backes. lol

Classy

Suspension for Sundqvist?

Don’t think so

 

[David Dennison]

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

Yeah in the game thread, it's like people are reacting to the game that is going on or something.

 

[Honey Bear]

That’s silly though. He didn’t make it far enough because the blues outplayed the team in front of him.

So while one guy who was able to get his team to the cup final who was the primary reason for why his team is here isn't the better goalie thus far in these playoffs, I guess the Bruins should just go home then since this series over. Blues already beat a better goalie. Done deal.

Just trying to figure this all out. They head hunted Pavelski and his knee got hurt. So do you think heads are in knees? Apparently Kane did.

And then, to clarify, we after groin injury Karlsson and to take him out we targeted not his groin?

Just trying to keep everything straight

 

[Tundra]

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

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

I'm serious. I've said it right from the start of the playoffs that Binnington is a world class elite goalie in the making. You just don't see rookie goalies with that kind of composure, calmness, style in the net and bounce back ability from regular of the pack goalies.

 

[LGB51]

Or Brian Elliott

Ells could be dependable after a softie just not consistently. All goalies give up bad goals or have bad games, it's how they respond on the next shot/game that makes them what they are.

 

[Honey Bear]

Yeah in the game thread, it's like people are reacting to the game that is going on or something.

Yeah after every game there's also sorts of exaggerated takes going the way of whichever team won. Nobody has any consistency.

 

[Honey Bear]

Classy


Don’t think so

Backes is dirty as f***. Just showing him the same level of respect he showed the Hawks.

 

[jaysoneil]

Why are any teams outside of STL and BOS being discussed?

Take that garbage elsewhere.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Impressive ot win by the Blues though, the Bruins and Tampa were the only 2 teams in the NHL to lose less then 10 games at home this year. (Bad juju lol? Probably)

 

[bluesfan94]

Do...do you think the goalie is the only player on the ice?

 

[TimThomas24]

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.

Hahaha they got some good shit down south

 

[The National]

Enough about calls, cheapshots, etc.

The better team certainly won tonight. I expect the Bruins to adjust and respond accordingly.

The series is long from over.

 

[Rocko604]

Worst performance since Game 1 vs Toronto and yet still needed to be taken to OT. No reason to panic.

 

[TheDizee]

He’s not wrong on both counts

I am personally more worried about Backes taking more dives like he did in G1 than targeting the D. Either way they have no right to whine about officiating after the complete circus that they benefited from in G1 and G2.

 

[Chet Manly]

Suspension for Sundqvist?

I would have been fine with the rest of the game. I'm amazed it wasnt 5. But i don't think the malice was there to warrant more than an ejection.

 

[Over the volcano]

Backes is dirty as ****. Just showing him the same level of respect he showed the Hawks.

You must be proud

BTW Grzlyeck’s in the hospital- no update on his condition

 

[Honey Bear]

Do...do you think the goalie is the only player on the ice?

No. But the Bruins are here because of Rask. Their offense and defense has been pretty inconsistent throughout the playoffs. The constant up till this series was Rask. Bishop played well, I'm sure. But Rask had been better throughout the playoffs than him.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Bergy injury would be reason to panic
