Who will win the Stanley Cup?
-
Bankshit's favorite player. Why? Because that's what he would do.

Pussy.

Tuker was terrific last night.
-
and again tonight.
The Bergeron line was outstanding.
Bruins totally dominated the series
The Finals await.
-
SC Finals
Monday 5/27 TD Garden.

Suddenly, you're a hockey fan.
Heh.
-
I'm a band-wagon Bruin fan.
As you are a band-wagon Flyer troll.
Except I'm not a troll-asshole like you.
I suddenly became a pro-hockey fan when Bruin games were broadcast on UHF TV in the mid-60s. And everyone needed the round antenna to watch Bobby Orr.
Before that I was a kid that played hockey (so-so-never mastered skating backwards) for maybe 6 or so weeks a year on local ponds and the Charles.

I wouldn't call it Bruins v Blues a rematch as it took place 49 years ago, but it almost seems like yesterday, and it gave us one of the more iconic sports photos.

A great goal. An amazing picture.
But... the Bruins were up 3-0 in the series. That OT goal clinched the sweep. The Blues were never in that series.
-
Yup that series was over before it started.
The photo of Orr soaring in truimph was the thing. It became iconic, and joined other special moments, and taking a parochial view Fisk waiving the ball fair. Less parochial Willis Reed's walk-on, Maz's 9th inning walk-off, Kirk Gibson, Tyree's horse-shoe up his ass catch...

Glory days.

Glory days.
This brings back fond memories:
https://youtu.be/8Zmb0ey-4tM (https://youtu.be/8Zmb0ey-4tM)
It was a great come from behind series win for the Flyers and a terrible choke job by the Bruins, for all that I didn't watch it.
But it's really sad that your fond memories of the Flyers are at best a year when they lost the Cup, 4-2. The Flyers were such a promising franchise when they got going in the 70s. Who knew that 44 years later they would not have won another Cup, passed by such johnny-come-latelies like the Islanders, Devils, and Oilers.
I suppose "Glory Days" is an appropriate song for you, Ham.
-
The Flying Orr might have to move over a little for the Flying Krug.
That was an amazing hit.
After the rust came off the Brunes totally dominated that game.
-
Blues tie it at 1-all
and I think thats the Blue's first SC Finals win as in ever
they played a very physical and game and wore out the Bruins and eventually cashed in OT
onto St Looey
-
A tremendous win on the road in that hostile house of blathering idiots!
Boston is singing the Blues!
Only question is who will they blame for losing?
-
Gryzelyk hit being characterized as s "dirty hit". Hardly. And far more within the biunds if hockey than the heralded Krug hit from Game 1.
The first line of the Bruins is being called out for underperforming.
-
You didn't watch either game.
Or don't know the game.
Your ingorance is evident.
krug's hit was hard but clean/borderline open ice hit. He didn't leave his feet or go high. It might have been a charge.
But play-off hockey.
and the refs didn't blew the whistle when he got mugged in front of the net just before....
play-off hockey.
Grz was face to glass "defeneless", and took an elbow/shoulder to the head.
A minor penalty was called. Grz is on conc, protocol. He might be out for games/series.
It was a dangerous shot to his head.
There will be a hearing today to see whether a suspension is warranted.
Bruins 1st line has been terrible so far.
-
St. Louis’ Oskar Sundqvist has been suspended for one game for Boarding Boston’s Matt Grzelcyk

They seem to have responded.
-
And the Blues responded last night with some physical smash-mouth play.
Totally took it to the Brunes.
That 3-minute relentless offensive attack in the 2nd period was impressive.
Best of 3
-
I see the Bruins are all whining about the refs this morning. The Blues are just outplaying them.
Go, Les Bleus!
-
heh
you could have set your watch to it.
tough loss/good win for the Black and Blues
on to the the "must win" games part of the schedule.
-
You have to admit that HamiltonIII's lack of a sense of irony is one of his most endearing traits.
-
it seems the NHL has scheduled a hearing today for one of the many non-calls on Blues head-hunting hits last night
it would have been better to get them right the 1st time.
-

"Blues center Ivan Barbashev has been suspended one game for an illegal check to the head, the NHL department of player safety announced Friday.
No penalty was called on the play.
“Barbashev delivers a high, forceful hit that makes Johansson’s head the main point of contact on a hit where such head contact was avoidable,” the league said in a video. “It is important to note that the head is the main point of contact on this play.”

It already took place. It seems after Game 3 Blues Coach Berube wept about his team being unfairly targeted for targeting Bruins heads, so he appealed to the league and won his appeal. The Bruins appealed as well, thinking head-hunting and slew foots have always been penalties.
The hearing is scheduled for early July.

Back to Boston. Both teams are 1-2 on the home ice this series.
Good game for the Bruins, if not nearly as one-sided as the final score suggests. Still, Chara's got to be amused by his scoring a goal tonight.

Boston Whinger.

Boston Whinger.
Same old, same old.
You were the one whining about the decision to penalize what should have been a penalty at the time.
I was just playing with your verbiage.
You can't take it.
-
Its not Boston wingers i'm concerned about rather Bruin D-men who have been targeted by the St Looey Goons. They knocked Griz out and have been trying to take Krug out. St Looey is a dirty fucking team.
Game 7 may well be a fucking war with the Goons head-hunting and knowing whistles usually get pocketed in Game 7s.
-
It is not the end yet, though it sure looks like it is going to be!
Congratulations to the St. Louis Blues and their fans on their first ever Stanley Cup!!
I cannot imagine how exciting it must be for them, though I would guess it is similar to, but slightly stronger than, how we Red Sox fans felt after exorcising the Curse or how the Patsies fans felt upon winning that first Super Bowl in their history.
It has been a convincing effort by the Blues and they have earned this Cup.
-
Blues were road warriors
a hot goalie, tough D opportunistic, and physical
a deserving champion.
congrats to them
1st period was the game-breaker

Bruins choked. Couldn't happen to a more entitled group of "fans".
Heh

Bruins choked. Couldn't happen to a more entitled group of "fans".
Heh
You show all the grace of the average warthog.
I don't know how you conclude that they choked, given the rest of the series and the rest of the Cup matches, but honestly, Ham, I don't really care, because reasoning has nothing to do with it beyond that it was a Boston team. Had they won, you would have been back with "that was how the NHL wanted it" the way you did a couple games ago. Now that that has been disproven, you fall back on "choked."
Had they won, the person who would have choked would have been you, on all the bile you have inside.
Had we been a minute behind your post, you would have talked about our lack of being good losers and then when we posted identical things to what we posted, you would have claimed credit for making us say crap we didn't believe.
Your schtick is old and getting older. You lack creativity in your gratuitous attacks as surely as you lack substance. Your approach to Boston is the equivalent of Ward's approach to politics. Trite, trivial, and about as clever as a rock.
Dull, Hamilton. The only time you leave dull is when you cross into personally threatening stuff. Even then, the content and intent are dull, but you are enough of a loose cannon that no responsible person with folks he cares about can ignore you.
Which is what you crave - attention. "Pay attention to me! I am significant!"
You are only significant in your own mind, and even then you aren't convinced of it.
Go find the half a clue you used to have, but lost.
-
At home, Game 7, favorites going into series, end of period one, down 2-0.
That's a choke. People who follow hockey, regularly, know that and understand it.
Don't try to deflect and make it all about me.
A straight and simple gag.
Shut up and handle it, Joshie.
-
The Bruins dominated the play in the first period but were stymied by a hot goalie who "stood on his head".
It happens.
All the time.
The big play in that game was the 2nd goal on a brain-fart by Marchand with 10 seconds to go in the period.
The Blues, up 2-0, then played in a defensive shell for the next 40 minutes, protecting the lead, and frustrating the Bruins.
They won.
And the home team lost 5 of the 7 games in the series.
And troll you know shit about a game you probably did not watch and less about a game you never played.
But you are obssessed I'll give you that.

If you had any articles supporting your position, you would have posted it.
Home ice has meant nothing all series long for both teams and the Blues' road record was better than their home record or the Bruin's home record in the playoffs.
But you would know that if you paid attention to hockey other than when the Bruins (or maybe the Flyers) were in it.
It IS about you, dolt.
No self-concept, just knee-jerk reactions, with emphasis on jerk.
And a reputation well earned by you.

Played in college. Know that teams who go into the corners win. Bruins were beaten there. Too scared, likely.
Sorry that you have to show once again that you can't handle valid criticisms of your team. Sad.

Sorry that you have to show once again that you can't handle valid criticisms of your team. Sad.
I've seen you criticise the Bruins for bitching about the refs, when it was the Blues coach who did that after Game 3, and successfully, and it changed the nature of the series. I've seen you rationalzie head-hunting, and then I've seen you accuse the league for fixing the series for the Bruins.
Troll you are a know-nothing idiot.
And in your latest bit of idiocy you once again expose an utter lack of knowledge of the game and how to play it. Why woluld the Bruins chose to play an inheritantly physical style against a team that had a huge advantage in size? It would be playing to thei Blues strength. The Bruins had skill and speed and a better PP and PK as their advantages and they tried to leverage those advantages.
But they lost in Game 7 to a hot goalie who probably stole at least 3-4 goals from them.
But as you you didn't watch the series these facts escaped you.
And troll playing Nok-Hockey in jr college in your official Philly Flyer replica Dave Schultz T-shirt does not make you a hockey player.

NHL GAMES TODAY
Round-robin: Avalanche vs. Golden Knights, 3 p.m. ET, NBC; livestream: Two of the hottest teams so far in these playoffs will face off for a chance to earn the top spot in the West. The winner of this matchup will earn the West’s #1 seed; the loser will be #2. Through two games, Vegas has scored 11 goals (by eight different players) while Colorado has allowed just one goal. Even without their regular season leading scorer Max Pacioretty (undisclosed), the Golden Knights have scored 11 goals in two round robin games. Seven have come in the third period. The Avs have been spreading the love on offense. Through two round robin games, each of Colorado’s six goals have been scored by a different player – two from defensemen (Cale Makar and Ryan Graves) and four from players in their first season with the Avalanche.
[NBC 2020 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFF HUB]
Round-robin: Flyers vs. Lightning, 8 p.m. ET, NBC; livestream: The winner of this game will become the #1 seed in the East; the loser will be the second seed. The league’s best regular season offense (3.47 goals/game) has scored five goals in its first two games… and they’re without Steven Stamkos, who will not play against the Flyers after missing Tampa’s first two round robin games with a lower-body injury. He has been ruled out indefinitely. Carter Hart, who will turn 22 on Thursday, is expected to start after Brian Elliott got the nod in Philly’s last game vs Washington. Hart stopped 34 of 35 shots in their 4-1 win vs Boston last Sunday in his postseason debut, becoming the youngest Flyers goalie to win a playoff game.

Double OT!! Flyers win!!! Going to Game 7. Saturday night!!!
-
The young Flyers lose to the better team, but they gain experience for next season. Good luck to Islanders v Tampa Bay.
Goaltender Carter Hart showed he has what it takes to keep his team in it. That means a lot, given his youth.
However, if the team goes 0-fer the 7-games series on their power play they don't deserve to advance in the Cup Finals.

Down 3 games to 2, but back to Boston the series goes.
Tied up! Back to Carolina for a Game 7 of the series in which the home team has won every game.
Can the Bruins break through? Will Carolina hold serve to win and move on?
The other eastern matchup between Toronto and Tampa is also knotted at 3-3, after the Lightning won in overtime to force a Game 7!
Two more games tonight, with teams looking to move to or avoid Game 7s, themselves. Unlike the earlier two matches, the Blues are the ones at home with the 3-2 lead and it looks like they are in a good position to move on tonight.
Similarly, LA is at home, trying to close it out. They're down only 1-0 at the start of the 2nd period.

Ranger crybabies, Devils were the better team during the season
