That was pretty bad.

 

Dirty high checking plays again and again- that's definitely a suspension on 10 if there's a game 7.

 

Fine at best. Maybe. Its down to the wire now. Theres gonna be some things let go.

 

Blues are throwing everything at the wall to no avail.

 

No. It was a basic check in the back. I’ve seen harder hits in Bantam games. Blues are outplaying the Bruins, Rask is the only thing keeping them in the game so far.

 

Too much passing on the PP. Get a big body in front of the goalie and shoot.

 

Terrible PP tactics...

 

Both goalies are hot tonight. This game will be won ugly. Get pucks to the net.

 

The disciplined team wins tonight.


Rask is having a fantastic game.

Youre right, @rd400racer simplicity is now key.

 

For the record , I cracked open a bottle of Old Fo and fired up a Churchill for this game because it might be the last NHL I see for 4 months. So if I’m more obnoxious than usual, I have an excuse

 

Damn dude, Liam just said to simplify things. You’re a genius!

 

Ugh. Binnington wants that back.

 

And Carlo throwing one to the nets proves it.

 

Yep, that was ugly.

Racing is decided by milliseconds, hockey by centimeters

 

The Blues are playing a bit like the Flyers; have about 4 or 5 good scoring chances but never converting.

In the regular season, if you convert on 1/3 of your good scoring chances youll make the playoffs. No question. In the post season, 40% will get you a cup. And right now, Boston is exhibiting those percentages.

 

And another simple goal.

Bruins pee’d on my forecast. Even though they got battered, they earned it.

Rask was an absolute wall.

 

The worst thing is, I don’t really care who wins this Cup. My allegiance is changed depending on the human interest story each night in the pre-game show.

My son is living with and probably going to marry a Boston girl and I would say I coached 100 games in St Louis so I know the town very well.

Bottom line, Jenna Fischer was featured tonight so go Blues. If that doesn’t work out, I can drink on Wednesday too

 

Oh, that’s a goal!

Could this be the comeback story of all time?

 

Yeah holy cow! Just saw that, too.

 

Still playing or coaching?
