Post-Game Talk: SCF GAME 7 - Heartbreak at the Hub on Causeway - St. Louis Wins The Stanley Cup

[Johnny4778]

You’re not being stepped on. You made some pretty awful posts and got called on it. It happens.

What we’re awful posts Charlie? That tough Canadian teams win? I’m sad but it’s a fact of life my friend

 

[Kovi]

Some of you need to give it a rest

You show up here after two months to gloat about Rask having a mediocre game.

Seriously get ****ing lives

I love when people arent old enough to have gone through the Dave Lewis years.

 

[Marcobruin]

Terrible showing from Rask no way Thomas gets lit up like that. *****.

Rask is no Thomas. Rask never won a cup as a starter and
I don't think he ever will.
If he didn't do this year I don't see him ever doing it

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I agree but I don’t like being stepped on here or anywhere. ... I think that’s fair no?

I mean it probably is fair but it's an internet forum, it's not gonna be like real life interactions. I'm just saying from experience arguing with people you feel slighted you on the internet doesn't lead to any resolution, if you feel its personal best to just ignore it.

Something funny to you?

My husband picked me flowers on the walk to our house from the train to make me feel better.


Very sweet. Didn’t work.

I did the same thing for my wife as we took our pup for a walk when we got home.

 

[Festy1986]

No.. if your question was a serious one.

Someone that name

 

[Kovi]

You got no show DeBrusk and let em in Rask.

You think Thomas let’s any of those goals in tonight? F. No.


M

Why are we still talking about Tim Thomas? Hes not walking through the door, you know that, right?

Man, those days sucked.

 

[Bergeron37]

Fix your goddamn sport Bettman. How are there no f***ing calls all game except for the over the glass. Just because it's game 7 you tell the refs to put the whistles away and let everything go? Why is there no consistency at all? This sport is a god damn joke. It's embarassing how many calls were missed this entire post season from the Sharks/Knights, to Sharks/Blues, to this series.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Congrats Boston for their great year.
Extremely sad for this core, all Bruins fans, myself and especially Backes.

No need to shed a tear for Backes. He’s got 5 years of $6 million of team money—cry BECAUSE of him, not FOR him. Cry for us.

 

[Memokerobi]

My father used to get like me with sports.

Then my mom died from cancer at53

Let’s juat say sports losses don’t faze him one bit anymore.

Sorry for your loss. My dad died two years ago from cancer at 50. It really puts things into perspective. f*** cancer

 

[Sheppy]

So, to the draft we go. What happens? Whos expendable?

It’s just a stupid thing to say. I don’t give a f*** where the guy is from. If he can play he can play

What do you mean that tough Canadian teams win?

There are threads for each of those topics.

Please use them.

I'm not sure it's on the refs , they just follow directives.

Now, making everything review able is the only thing I want to hear this summer, otherwise I'm not sure I want to invest any more time in this sport. I love this game and it's the best game on earth to me but it's being handled by people who are not interested in the integrity of the sport but the almighty dollar. It suffers from an inferiority complex that makes it behave in as inferior things/people do
It is last among NA sports and it will stay that way.

Recently, I was watching an NBA game. Now I'm not much of a basketball guy and while I keep track of what's going on during the season but I don't watch to many games, but I do tune in for the PO's. So the Raptors were ahead by about 10 points and there is something like 30 seconds left in the game
( cearly out of reach for GS) yet the refs take the time to video review who put the the ball out of bounds. Does it really matter? Yes and no. The game has been decided by the score , but no rock is left unturned, that is what I want see, otherwise I'll watch basketball going forward.

That's a good assessment, having that consistency builds credibility for the more hairy situations as well so the story for the SCF would be the hockey not the leagues officiating problem. I dont want to hear the league say they care about headshots anymore though after seeing what St. Louis did to us and the sharks.

 

[Boston Bandit]

Thanks to the Bruins for a great season, but an even BIGGER thank you to the best Posters, Mods and GDT designers on all of HF. Thank you all for giving us your time, skill, knowledge and hard work. You truly make all of us proud to be Bruins fans and to be a part of the best sports board on the entire internet.

Officiating was not an issue game 7. At all.

 

[Zillah]

I don’t know where I watched it the other day but something that was said really rings true following this loss “ Skill gets you to the playoffs but grit , heart and determination win the Cup” we fell far short of the grit and determination this series

 

[The don godfather]

As crazy as it sounds but I would trade rask this off-season. He had 2 cup finals and blew them. He's our Lundqvist. Time to turn page. Vladdy time I guess.

 

[Midship]

Something funny to you?

No, just confused that you could be proud of a team that just got shit on in game 7 at home in the SCF.

 

[Johnny4778]

Very true.. but we do life in a world where internet is 7 1/2 hours of average persons life... and I still live by principals that say just because your behind a computer doesn’t mean you get to be mean without consequences. Think it would be a better world if that was reality. One day maybe folks willl have to pay for consequences for actions and comments online?

 

[CheerstoBeers]

He was bad, but his LW can’t stay on his skates for a full shift, and his RW looks like he’s skating in a sandbox. Kuhlman, fine little player but he’s not there yet

Oh I agree. It's up to Krejci to lead that line. Debrusk and his almost 30 goals didn't translate well deep into the playoffs. Sweeney not upgrading that second line RW really hurt us as well. Trying to plug in people and create chemistry as late as the SCF means your plan to stay the course didn't work.

 

[PB37]

You’re correct, but wearing down your opponent is beneficial as much as some fans who want “speed and skill” plays a factor as well.

The Bruins entire top 6 was terrified of getting hit. Every one of them.

I think you're seeing what you want to see. I didn't see anyone pulling away or shying from a hit to make a play.

Blues weathered the storm, got outstanding goaltending, and capitalized on their only two chances. This game came down to the 1st period.

I thought the Blues size was more noticable in the neutral zone and slots, clogging up lanes.
