Oh the hatred is there, it's just many of us are already dealing with extensive infractions. We're also a smaller fan base than Boston on HFBoards so there's that. We also don't spend endless amounts of time *****ing about missed calls or complaining about how the other team plays too rough. Subtract their whining and it will be a lot fewer pages. I don't know what that is in sharkmath, but it's fewer.
Nailed it. Whiny East-Coasters.

Pretty sure STL's watch parties have opened a bunch of eyes lol. I think Midwestern sports fans don't hang out on the internet as much either.

Years ago my hometown junior team was up against a powerhouse. On paper, a pure mismatch.

The underdogs played great and won.

The specific pre-game instruction? Go out and have fun.

Pressure is squarely on Boston now, all things considered.

Hope the Blues' point men get the puck through and that Maroon - somebody - is planted to bang in a loose puck. There will be punishment, but it could draw a penalty.

Nothing wrong with a basic power play, as long as everyone is committed to doing their part.

One PP goal tonight might well be enough.

Drive to the net, everything TO the net, sooner or later the puck is IN the net.

I saw a couple of posts talking about Edmundson might be in and I nearly had a heart attack. Can someone confirm that this mistake has not been made?

This is a thing all of us have talked about wanting for a long time, so I am doing my best to stay in the moment and enjoy it. There will be all sorts of time to feel the afterward feelings ... afterward.

I've been relishing the little pieces of it, as many as I can.

For example it's 100-and-f*** degrees outside right now and now I know what those other folks must have felt like sweating happily in their jerseys all these years in June.

Or Laila having using the G6 moment to share a quote that means the most to her, "Life is a game and love is a trophy." We should take that in.

Google tells me the way to undo a jinx is by knocking on wood. I'm not saying I believe in jinxes, but if I did, and the Post-Dispatch did indeed place a jinx on the Blues, I'm undoing that shit right now...

If Bortuzzo is out I am going to be very disappointed in Berube. He is honestly playing better than Edmundson, and now someone has to play their "off" side. It is also a shitty thing to do to someone who given nothing but 100% in every game he has played. Yes he has made mistakes, but Eddy has been worse. I seriously wonder if Berube and Bortuzzo have issues. Stupid, just stupid. :(

Berube stated that "we have two horses over there" meaning Paryako & Pietrangelo are playing half the game each and Dunn-Gunnarsson-Edmundson will split the half the game Bouwmeester doesn't play.

"we just felt there's not a lot of time over there, ice-time wise, so we're going to go with the four lefties."

expect 55 & 27 to have monster minutes in this one. I don't think that's incorrect.

I think Berube is trying to employ the same strategy as Game 5. Use Dunn-Petro for Offensive zone starts and split Gunn/Ed-Petro for the Defensive zone starts. Also has Eddy for the PK where he can use clear site lines/block shots. I anticipate that he will only see 10ish minutes tonight again, if that.

It could be just a couple plays sticking out, but Dunn seemed either a little shaky/nervous in the D-zone in game 6 or was just having trouble with the forecheck of the Bruins. Although even a shaky Dunn has been a ton better than the way Eddy has been playing this year.

I'd also anticipate Petro/Parayko each playing 30+ minutes tonight, which doesn't leave much room for Bortz anyway.

I'm going to clench any time Edmundson has the puck on his stick.

Messier would end this series in the first faceoff he’d have against Marchand. Who will step up for the Blues and do the dirty work to win a Cup?

So your advocating head hunting and taking stupid penalties all game? Not a recipe for success.....

Can someone PM me the name of the best reddit forum to find a stream. I’m having a weird result when searching and I’m probably looking in the wrong place.
