Yeah, it's so easy to hate both teams and hard to root for either one of them.
Good series to watch though.

 

[TL1961]

Don’t root for anyone.

Root against one team.

Absolutely

Yep. Really hard to root for any Boston team, but man, just can't do Blue

Best of 5. Back to STL.

That Charra ovation was awesome. Broken jaw. No problem, hold my beer

 

[anotheridiot]

wow, another terrible blown call in the NHL playoffs. Guess they are keeping up with the NFL.

 

[Bigfoot]

Yeah how did they miss that one. I bet Boston gets a ton of PP in Game 6, and this heads to a 7th.

It was gross. Also, the fact Boston only scored 1 means they are do for some to go in game 6. The goalie was great, but a lot of those pucks were missing by centimeters. I couldnt believe they didnt score in the 1st period. They were all over the Blues then and just shooting missiles at the goal constantly.

The only thing I saw was how the blues guy threw his hands up like it was a dive.

and yes the b is not capitalized because they are the fucking blues. The team that went last to first like the hawks were supposed to.

Yeah...if those two shots off the pipe in the first...lets say even one of them goes it changes the entire game.

Just the way hockey is. A big strong punishing defense that is clearing pucks like this in front of a ridiculously hot young netminder who hasn't been solved yet is proving to be quite the bitch to play against. That team is built to be the anti-thesis of the Hawks dynasty and they certainly are, but they weren't shit until this impenetrable wall shows up.

He was solved once, got pulled from one game this series already. I think 5/19 went in and Allen got some time.

Finally took the the time to look up Binnington. Every time I heard his name it struck a cord.....where do I know this guy from?

He played a few seasons with the Wolves. Now I'm not a huge fan of them but I've gone to a handful of games over the years and caught a few games on TV. He had some decent numbers but he sure didn't look unbeatable. Sometimes you go to the right place at the right time and everything clicks for you. He's only 25. We should probably start getting used to seeing him.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Fuck everything Boston. Will suck watching the Blues hoist the cup but Boston has the Red Sox & Patriots. Both are franchises of the century (so far) in both sports.

 

[ytsejam]

Lewis and Clark went to Saint Louis.
It was such a shithole they decided to explore the dangerous wilderness rather than stay in that dump and fuck the nasty local scags.

The on-line version of the St. Lois Post-Dispatch ran a Thank You letter from the Blues owner to teh Fans, thanking them for helping bring the cup to St. Louis. He mentioned they'd all remember where they were when the Blues won it, and talked of plans to parade it down Market Street.

This has epic fail written all over it.

If St. Louis doesn't win this series, this is gold. Pure gold.

But another championship won't make the Boston fans worse. They're already as insufferable as possible.

St. Louis fans already act like their team has been consistently among the best teams ever. If they screw this up, it wouldn't suck.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Holy crap

Holy crap, that's fucking idiotic. Why would they print that already?
