Pre-Game Talk: Series Discussion: Boston vs St Louis

[thewall]

Habs fan here to encourage you for tommorow's game. Always loved the Blues since the days of Millen, Gilmour and Ramage vs the Leafs. You guys have been waiting for this moment for so long. My hate towards the Bruins is unmatch and this would be the perfect way for your Blues to get their first Stanley Cup.

I wonder if these playoffs have done enough for Parayko to get a RHD spot for Team Canada if/when NHL'ers return to the Olympics. He's been Conn Smythe worthy all playoffs long.

 

[The Note]

Hoo boy getting Thomas back would be a huge boost.

 

[blues hillbilly]

Thomas with Maroon and Bozak has potential to light it up in their end like in games past. Opportunity boys.

Blais fits Barbs spot on the Sunny/Steen line well. No big drop off if at all.

This 30 hour wait is brutal.

Came here to share this

So damn funny

Tears streaming down my face right now!

 

[Note Worthy]

Just don’t want a Chara/Karlsson thing where he talks himself into the game and is a liability

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

The Blues have won their close out games at home every time this postseason:
Winnipeg Game 6
Dallas Game 7
San Jose Game 6

See a trend here?

And in each case it was a dominant performance. Winnipeg was clearly outclassed in that game. Their coach as much as said so in the post-game. Dallas deserves full credit for forcing 2OT, but Bishop gets almost all of that Blues dominated the flow of play and the shots. Finally, the Sharks game was another fairly comfortable dominating performance.

 

[Ms Maggie]

Would be sweet for you folks to wrap this up at home. Good luck!

 

[BlueDream]

This 30 hour wait is brutal.

Idk, I’m kind of enjoying it. I’m not sure if I’m quite ready for tomorrow night lol. I need some more time to prepare.

 

[elkranio]

I'm gonna have a beer tasting party tomorrow. So when my friends leave, I'm gonna be in a perfect condition for the game.

 

[Rarename91]

I am nervous of f***

Finally, the Sharks game was another fairly comfortable dominating performance.

A little OT but I don't think that game was as one-sided as the scoreline suggets and not nearly as dominant as the earlier deciding games. Sharks came close tying it up in the second and had couple of solid chances in the third. The back-breaking fourth goal was maybe the second or third SOG that period for the Blues. Unlike Game 7 against Stars they had puck luck that night and Jones was not on par with Bishop or even Hellebuyck.

However in Game 5 I think they outplayed the Sharks after some early struggles.

Watching the game, the Blues never trailed and I never had any doubt they’d win. Even if San Jose has managed a superhuman effort to tie it, I think the Blues has that one. I do give San Jose credit for playing their hearts out. It was probably the best performance of the 3 teams.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Thank goodness Tarasenko didn’t have triplets.

 

[Ranksu]

I am nervous of ****

Don't be.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

It may just be more of my foolishness. It’s well documented that I’ve waved that flag high all season. But I’m not nervous for this game. I think the Blues are ready. They’ll come out and play their best game of the playoffs. It will be enough.

Looks like Gryz is more than likely out tomorrow night. Not sure about Chara.

 

[ezcreepin]

My only concern is that Barbashev plays on the pk, and with him and Sunny available, it has been really good this series. I dont know who takes his spot there, but tomorrow has to be an all out effort. Everyone has to contribute, everyone has to make plays, everyone has to play to win the game, not to score the goal. Let's hope we make history, come on boys, I WANNA SEE A CUP.

 

[CraftyVeteran]

my favorite accusation from Bruins fans is that we're bandwagon fans. Like, yea dude, watching your team lose constantly throughout history and sticking with them is bandwagon. I think they self-project too much in Boston.

 

[Note Worthy]

Looks like Chara is playing which is fine by me. He looked pretty bad in game 5.

 

[Note Worthy]

Lou Korac believes strongly that Thomas will play tomorrow.

Lurch getting 25-27 minutes would be great.
