GDT: Stanley Cup Playoffs VI: Conference Finals

[HeartsAlive]

I sort of like both teams and was wondering if this would be a true neutral series for me.

I've gotten annoyed at both SJ goals and perked up at the Blues goal.... so I guess that answers that question.

 

[Trap Jesus]

That offside?

Remember when hockey was fun to watch and this wasn't the first thought to pop into your head after anyone scores?

 

[OV]

...and that's how you net a shark

I've decided I want the Blues to win.

Really? I feel the Sharks are better, overall - but I guess that’s assuming that Pavelski is 100%, which I doubt he really is. Then again, Pavelski at 80% isn’t bad.

Of course, my heart has to pull for the Sharks a little bit because of Joe - but I’d have no qualms in wanting his production shut down if it’s Sharks/Bruins.

I just don’t seem to fear the Blues as much. Maybe they’re not flashy enough to catch my attention. It’d be a much easier travel schedule if the Bruins were to make it, considering the Bruins would likely be in need of rest at that point.

It's entirely reasonable to think the Sharks are better. I only base thinking the Blues are a touch better based on the fact they were the best NHL team after the All-Star Break and I feel like Binnington is consistently better than Jones in goal. I also think the Blues play a better physical game. Both teams have some great skill players, with the Sharks having the edge in that dept. Won't surprise me a bit if SJ wins the series. Like you, I still pull for Jumbo, until he plays the Bs. Hope these teams go 7 and beat each other up, a lot.

St. Louis was a really cool town when I visited there. Only problem was that it was August and it was hot and muggy as hell because it's on the confluence of several large rivers.

Toasted Ravioli apparently is the local delicacy and it's pretty good.

Jones has turned his game around quite a bit since his awful start of the playoffs.

He’s still not great but a big improvement.

This actually happens to me a lot. I think I don't care until involuntary emotional reactions prove otherwise. It's just interesting to me.

Anyone scared of the sharks? They can put the puck in the net. Assuming we can beat a feisty carolina team.

We were the once a long time ago (mid 90’s) I believe. Nice city

 

[missingchicklet]

Heh. Message from Coach K about the great Canes, then analysis of game 1 showing how good they were. Funny, I thought they lost 5-2.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Seeing that rat-faced creep Coach K pumping the Hurricane tires makes me want the Bruins to win every game by nine goals.

 

[Bruinaura]

"the Blues were so disciplined they didn't take a penalty in over a whole game"

Oh yes, they were perfect angels who didn't commit any infractions whatsoever. Uh huh.

Call it what it is.... The refs didn't call anything on them. There's not a team in the league that goes the whole game without doing something worthy of a penalty.

 

[Chief Nine]

Nice goal by Ryan O’Reilly. Not exactly tight D so far in this one

 

[Mainehockey33]

What a goal!

 

[OV]

Do they even have defense on the ice for the Blues tonight?

 

[Mainehockey33]

I didn’t even know who Meier was before the playoffs, he’s impressive.

 

[missingchicklet]

Step out for a bit to let the dog do its business, miss two goals.

Your dog could play better D for the Blues tonight ...

Don’t worry. There’ll be more at the rate they’re going

Toasted Ravioli forever.

What they call “pizza” is a god damn travesty though

Coach K asked the league for that loss to be removed from the Hurricanes record.

It’s so obvious that Milbury wants to smack Pierre.
