Post-Game Talk: Stanley Cup Finals (Blues are the Champions)

[h2]

The Blues have been perennial chokers for so long, I can't believe they won the cup. Good for them!

 

[L'Aveuglette]

This may be the worst I've ever seen a team play in a game 7 and win.

Yep, feels weird for the better team to be down 0-4. Binnington deserves the MVP if only for this game. To be honest though, despite dictating the play most of the game, the Bruins made too many major gaffes and aside from maybe the 2nd goal, Rask hasn't had much of a chance on the goals.

 

[The Lewler]

Most excellent ! Suck it boston

 

[L'Aveuglette]

If the Bruins can get another 33 shots on net in two minutes, they might score another goal.

marchand looking sad

Congrats to the Blues, they played a great defensive game & took advantage of their chances offensively. They have a big, strong, tough & skilled defence & a goalie who came up big when he had too. Good for them.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I was leaning towards Boston, but it's also nice to see the Blues get their first Cup.

Well done, boys!

 

[danielpalfredsson]

I'm really frugal so the thing that would bother me most about not winning the cup would be losing the chance at a free t-shirt.

 

[Deku]

O'Reilly with the f bomb on live tv lets goooo

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I am pleased

 

[JD1]

Boston losing on home ice is beautiful

 

[Hale The Villain]

O'Reilly is amazing. A lesser Stone who plays up the middle.

Glad to see him win the Conn Smythe.

 

[Silencio]

When I don't care about either team I always root for the home side to win the Cup...it just feels off watching a bunch of players scream and yell and celebrate in an arena that's as quiet as a morgue.

 

[Ouroboros]

Gary Bettman, sometime in the near future...

"Congratulations to Eugene Melnyk, Pierre Dorion, Conn Smythe winner Cody Ceci and the resilient fans in the nation's capital. Captain Mark Borowiecki - come get the the Cup!".

 

[HavlatMach9]

ROR super excited. The Blues are speedrunning the passing of the cup.

 

[Cloud]

So happy to see the Blues win their first. What a brilliant run...congrats to the Blues!

 

[L'Aveuglette]

How do you not give the Conn to Binnington?

Sure O'Reilly made the difference in the last 3-4 games, but Binnington is mostly why they even made it to this far.

Yeah its just not right watching them celebrate in the opponents building. Oh well.

 

[Clayonator]

Love the cup hand off order. Perfect staggered priority of total games played, tenure with the team, overall value to the team, even localness.

O’Reilly is my favourite non Sens player in the league.

 

[BigRig4]

Can't wait to see Brady and Chabot lift one

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Quite a bit of Blues fans at TD Garden

Gary Bettman, sometime in the near future...

Classy Boro hands it first to Ceci and Ceci goes for a skate!

 

[Tundraman]

Not necessarily in this final series but overall, in the playoffs whenever the refs seem to "let them play" the team that plays on the edge gains an advantage over the more skilled team.

I had no real favorite for the finals. Maybe leaned a bit towards wanting Chara to win but at the same time it's good to see the Blues finally get one. It's been a long time waiting.

Congratulations Blues' fans!

 

[Silencio]

ROR super excited. The Blues are speedrunning the passing of the cup.

Blues passed the cup around like it was a rock from Chernobyl

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I admit that I got choked up when Binnington raised the cup. For a guy to come out of nowhere and give this kind of steady-eddy performance is extremely rare, and I loved the loud cheers even in the Boston arena.
