Tracking the Blues’ Stanley Cup Quest—LOL

[BlueDream]

The St. Louis Blues are now two (2) wins away from the Stanley Cup.

Legit chills reading this.

This season has 2 or 3 games left. One more home game.

Every series so far, the Blues have gotten stronger as it’s gone along. I think Boston is a bit banged up. They are fortunate to get the extra day of rest. I bet Chara plays, but you have to wonder how he’ll feel with probably a broken jaw. Can Gryzlyck (sp) play?

The next game is going to be epic. If they play 5 on 5, I think St Louis is the better team. They’ll have to win one in Boston, but the road has been good to the Blues all playoffs.

With one more win, Binnington will tie Roy, Dryden and I forget the other for most postseason wins by a rookie goalie. He actually has a chance to break the record if the win the series.

The Calder voting was over before the playoffs, but how could someone else win it if he were to do that? It would feel like the wrong guy is getting it.

I believe Ward and Hextall also have 15 wins as rookies.

Ward was the one I was thinking of, but I think you’re right.

I expected it to be 2-2 after 4 games. But I think St Louis is going to smell blood in the water the next couple games.

 

[Meatball]

2 more. Please don't break my heart.

Don't stop. Talk dirty to me some more...

This was a really enjoyable thread to go back and read.

Winning the cup will entice a certain pair of tkachuk boys to hit UFA asap with incentive to come home on a discount.

I think this belongs here as much as anywhere. In view of our avatars, we're getting to the point where the final scene of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly deserves a review.

With us being just two games away from potentially winning our first Stanley Cup, I can't help but remember the ending of the True Blues video the team made after the 1986 playoff run where Mike Shanahan, the guy that had just bought the team, said "Can you imagine what it would be like if we were to win the Stanley Cup here? Can you imagine?" Either June 9, 2019 or June 12, 2019 could end up being the biggest date in the history of this franchise. Just let that sink in.

It's unreal to think of the journey the Blues have taken. It was funny because I said to a friend back in January when they had started to turn things around, "Wouldn't it be weird if this is the year they win the Stanley Cup? Two more games -- I know they can do it!

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I've often said, I think the Blues will win a Cup in a year where no one expects them to. Its becoming plausible. I know the TEAM believe they will win it. I believe too! There's just the little problem of Boston to deal with first.

 

[Novacain]

Fun fact, every playoff series the Blues have had so far has featured them winning a road game to get there 3rd win and then winning the last home game they would get in the series to get there 4th.

Just saying.

I'm really impressed with our coaching staff.

In the past, we saw coaches who didn't seem able or willing to make adjustments to deal with the opposition. Even a veteran coach like Hitch wouldn't change things up to meet a need.

But Berube, and his sidekick Steve Ott, are making the right moves. I can think of lots of examples, but I mention Berube going into the locker room after the hand pass fiasco, and telling the boys - get over it, don't use it as an excuse.

Or Berube inserting Sanford in the lineup to replace the injured Robert Thomas. Lots of Blues fans thought Sanford wasn't up to it, but he looks good.

I'm sure the rest of you can think of other examples.

They can do it, I really believe they're going to do it on Sunday.

Exactly. I can't fathom this. It feels ... so weird. Like, beyond surreal.

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!!!!! Can we have a holiday declared & call it Stanley Cup Sunday?

 

[Blueston]

Ward was the one I was thinking of, but I think you’re right.

Yes. He can be first to 16 Sunday.
