NHL Season 2018-19

And tomorrow begins the "Jonesing" 'til mid September pre season.

You of all people know there is a baseball thread....

Wait....there is a baseball thread? Hmmmm….no, painful enough watching the Jays, no need to subject myself to that!

I missed that and had to look it up. It was the GM, he was pissed that the Bruins' practice went long. The bull gang's answer was great:

"Let's get the ice ready," Armstrong yelled at the drivers of the Olympia ice resurfacers from the stands. "Do your ------ job."
As Armstrong walked away, one of the drivers said, "You could be a little bit nicer about it. Who pissed in your cereal?"

I'm not really sure what the fuss was about over that. If I were a GM of any team in any game seven you can bet I'd be upset if things weren't on time or right.

Uhhhh, no I didn't.

Still haven't made up my mind about whether or not to skip my kid's game tonight at 7:00 to catch the whole game. On the one hand he's getting the start, but on the other it's only summer league...

But there is a bar in the rink. What to do?

Anyway, hopefully we do get to see the best of both teams tonight. I think in the end Rask ends up being the difference and the Blues lose a close one. Can't wait to find out.

I think Binnington is what it hinges on. The Bruins, with their speed and puck handling, can get an average performance out of Rask and still have a legitimate chance of winning. The Blues, on the other hand don't have the offensive ability to overcome an average performance from Binnington. IMO of course.

Already planning to attend Preds @ Bolts 9/20!

Not a Sox fan?

Hey there is a MLB thread...

 

[GonePlaid]

Not a Sox fan?

No, neither one.

 

[Camaro69]

No, neither one.

There's two?



I kid...

 

[Picton]

It's after eight.

Drop the puck!

 

[Inky13]

It all comes down to one game. I'm getting chills.

 

[Picton]

At some point Boston is likely to relax slightly. Because if they already had, they'd have about three goals already.

The Blues are leaving them WAY too many opportunities. Binnington is saving their bacon.

 

[Camaro69]

Sounds like the Binnington show from the radio feed

 

[Inky13]

Well, one way or the other, will be over tonight (or maybe early tomorrow morning...). Just hoping for a good game. Been a very even series, back and forth. But if Rask plays like he did in game 6, not sure Blues have much of a chance. Read a good article the other day, basically said that even if Bruins lose, Rask should still win MVP. I would agree.

Did you see the game face on Rask pre-skate? That guy scares me.

He doesn't scare O'Reilly, though. Hasn't in quite awhile.

 

[Picton]

Welp?

Congrats, Blues. You showed up tonight, the Bruins didn't. You earned it.

See you next season, fellas.

 

[dangnewt]

Congratulations Blues. Strong clean game, timely saves, didn't think they had that in them, I was wrong.

 

[GoLeafsGo]

Wow. What a game….the kid out-dueled Rask in the first, and then the Blues played a perfect game, smothering the Bruins. I said it in the first round, would not want to have to play the Blues. Well done, and congratulations to the better team, and Stanley Cup Champions...the St. Louis Blues....(but that does sound weird!)
