GDT: Stanley Cup Playoffs VI: Conference Finals

[KrazyLegs]

BOOM! Huge goal by STL.

 

[Bruinaura]

Oh, I can't wait to hear San Jose crying about the refs.

And yes, there were some bad calls.

And they also killed them all.

And one of those bad calls resulted in the Sharks' only two goals somehow. Otherwise the Blues have very much limited SJ to not many great chances.

I like the Sharks tradition of having someone open the door for them before they go in the ice. Tonight it was none other than Mr. October himself, Reggie Jackson. He looked great.

That said, I like the Blues in this series for what that’s worth

what connection does he have to SJ?

 

[missingchicklet]

what connection does he have to SJ?

Bay area. Played for the Oakland A's and still has ties there.

 

[KrazyLegs]

SJ looks like the better team. Rooting for the Blues.

 

[Grimey]

Got 9 Sharks in my pool.Hope it goes 6 or 7..

At first I read this as though you had 9 sharks in a swimming pool haha

This could be a long series after all and either team will be a tough challenge

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Couture is absolutely getting a hat trick.

Oops

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Bay area. Played for the Oakland A's and still has ties there.

I always only ever think of SF as bay area. knew he was an A before a Yankee, just forget they consider SJ as part of the 'bay area'. Makes sense, the Yankee fan in me is irked tho lol

 

[Olden McGroin]

Couture again. He's having himself a playoffs

Definitely clutch, Sportsnet said he's scored the 2nd most playoff goals since 2010

 

[Boston Bandit]

I like the Blues unless they play our Bruins in the Finals

 

[Alicat]

Go Blues!

 

[Fossy21]

Sure but then you need to throw Meier in there.

SJS has 5 of the top 10 players in terms of points in the playoffs.

On paper and in stats they are very concerning to me.

They’ve also played the most games. In P/GP they have one guy in the top 15.

They’ve scored 51 goals, same amount as the Bruins, only they’ve allowed 12 more goals (43 to 31)

In case the Bruins should advance to the Finals ... I just want no piece of Erik Karlsson.
I'm aware he's not at his Ottawa level of play, but we all know he can take over a series. The rest of the team doesn't really bother me. We got Bergeron to shut down Couture.

Erik Karlsson is a shell of himself.

5 of 13 points on PP, 4 total points in last 9 games. His skating hasn't been great, and is still a liability defensively.

He's not the same guy that torched them in round 1 two years ago. Not even close.

 

[C77]

I am not overly impressed by either of San Jose or St. Louis.

The Blues have been the turning the puck over like crazy and their PP looks bad.

San Jose doesn't have great goaltending.

The way to beat the Bruins, (if they get past the Canes) is with speed and neither team seems to be overly fast through the neutral zone. At least their speed isn't close to what Toronto brought.

The teams I least wanted to face in a potential final were Calgary and Winnipeg and they're long gone.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Someone should have got em for the TDL

 

[Chief Nine]

what connection does he have to SJ?

Good question. Maybe he lives there now or he might have grown up in the area?

 

[Jaaanosik]

Someone should have got em for the TDL

Sign him up

the carpet accident was priceless at the end

 

[Number8]

Someone should have got em for the TDL

If I were a GM, I'd ship half of that team in white off to the Gulag. I mean, it's like they weren't even trying. Did you see that lazy defense on Mad Vlad's first goal? Shocking....

My thoughts exactly...add in Burns and that's a team I don't want to face.

Obviously, all the teams that remain are good, but I'd be more comfortable with them playing the Blues at this point.

 

[TwineTickler]

Oops

Haha, jinxed! He was buzzing during that time period. St Louis really took control after the 3rd goal.

It was funny to me because I was literally reading that just as St Louis started saying, Oh yah, we gotta win this thing LOL

 

[Bruinaura]

Okay guys, who's watching with me?
