GDT: Stanley Cup Final | Game #5 | Blues @ Bruins | "I guess we're the villains now?"

[CraftyVeteran]

This game was nuts...O'Rielly looks like the Blues best forward like he did early in the season and Binnington is doing his thing, what an animal. Looks like we might have a solid player yet in Sanford, if he can keep playing a heavy game and add more muscle he already has some filthy mitts and good hockey sense, I'm really rooting for this kid. Barbie and Sunny are awesome. Bozak and Maroon are steady vets but clearly miss the magic of having Thomas on that line.

That trip by Bozak was 100% a missed call but for whatever reason it didn't get called and the Blues capitalized. Blues have had more than their fair share of being on the receiving end of this ....it happens. You move on.

One more win boys, just one more! If they win I'm seriously going to lose my ****.

RE: Sanford. It's about time that trade paid off!

I’m in Illinois and my Blackhawk buddies are rooting for us

I think this map is probably a pretty accurate representation of everyone's rooting interest in the cup finals:

Illinois isn’t for Boston

Illinois isn’t for Boston

Eh, Chicago probably is. Central and southern Illinois is probably mostly Blues territory, though.

 

[Xerloris]

I mean hell even I rooted for the Hawks over the Bruins in 2013. Shitty ass dirty crybaby of a team.

I live in Chicago and do not get that sense

 

[sfvega]

The St. Louis local viewing area is like 40-45% Illinois, and I believe a lot of central and southeastern Illinois get FSNMW with Blues games just like we get Pacers games a lot.

 

[Mafisen]

I just thought of something in regards to non calls. Towards the end of the 3rd, Binnington gets his stick slashed out of his hand and the Bruins almost end up scoring, if not for a Gunnar goal line clearance. Thoughts?

Just FYI

52.1	Slew-footing - Slew-footing is the act of a player or goalkeeper using his leg or foot to knock or kick an opponent's feet from under him, or pushes an opponent's upper body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the opponent's feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice.
52.2	Match Penalty - Any player or goalkeeper who is guilty of slew-footing shall be assessed a match penalty.
52.3	Fines and Suspensions - There are no specified fines or suspensions for roughing, however, supplementary discipline can be applied by the Commissioner at his discretion (refer to Rule 28).

This is what one looks like, actually what many look like.

Marchand is a coward. Speared Binnington in game 5 too.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

You know one of these days somebody in this league is going to lose it on Marchand and give him a taste of his own medicine. And my guess is he will find a sum total of zero people with any sympathy.

At least it was called. Didn’t bother Binner.

 

[Carolina Blues]

This is what one looks like, actually what many look like.

Please post that on the Boston board

 

[Novacain]

Apparently Thomas was slotted on the 3rd line in practice today. So, look at that.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

That would be a huuuuuuuge boost.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Apparently Thomas was slotted on the 3rd line in practice today. So, look at that.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

This is not a drill

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Apparently Thomas was slotted on the 3rd line in practice today. So, look at that.

This response to the Barbashev suspension is like, “please don’t throw me in that briar patch!”

A refreshed Thomas back would be a wonderful boost!

 

[ScottieDsntKnow]

If Thomas can go.... wow. Suddenly makes the 3rd line dangerous as hell again.

 

[542365]

So happy to have Thomas back. I hope he goes Dallas Game 7 mode.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Suddenly despite the suspension the Blues will ice a better line-up.

 

[Ranksu]

Baby for Tarasenko. Nicee. Score couple goals for babies!

I say we just set out one of these bad boys and release him back into the wild.

That way no other player has to stoop to his level.

Ontario should be changed to a Raptors logo. Seriously, nobody is even paying attention to hockey up here now. ( This is the first time I have witnessed this in all my years of living here!) It is wonderful for me. I get to watch my Blues in peace!
