Stanley Cup

Blues power play is terrible. You don't win cups like that.

That is true. Their PP does suck...however they look good at 5 on 5. Don't quite understand that one.

And, the Blues have been pretty good at killing power plays by the Bruins. Last night was a fun watch.

Yes, they skated like scalded cats last night. Did not allow the Bruins to get on their game! Was fun!

They can win it all at home if they don't lose their cool.

they are both very capable teams .... not having a pony in this race, I guess I'm pulling for the Blues

Bruins have had their share, time for the Blues to get their first! That alone is enough for me to pull for them.

our oldest son did a 5 year medical residency in St Louis .... during that time we made some good friends out there who we make it a point to visit twice a year on our summer trip out west .... unfortunately we can't go that way this trip because of flooding

Never thought this thread would carry on for 11 pages with Hockey talk. I thought it was just me and RR as hockey fans. But its sure nice to see there is some stirring interest in the game. I have loved it for many years. Go Blues.

I watch a few games during regular season. Usually original 6 match ups. But I do try to follow the playoffs. Desperation hockey is always the best.

Yup...looking forward to Sunday! Go Blues!

[RanchRoper]

Here we go....

[ESquared]

Go BLUES! Great thread, AL!

[RanchRoper]

If the Blues do nothing else before next season they need to develop a power play. Awful.

[RanchRoper]

Think the Blues have a bad case of nerves. Bad passes, too much passing. Gotta get pucks at Rask.

Exactly right!!

[RanchRoper]

Can't go wrong shooting at the net....as we just saw.

[RanchRoper]

Uh oh....

[JEBar]

looks like the series may go to 7 games

[markiver54]

The last nail in the coffin!

[ESquared]

Hard to argue with the valid points above: no power play, a little jittery/sloppy, and, man, Rask had quite the night! Setting himself up for MVP.

I was hoping that the Cup series would go to seven games. Maybe a double overtime in the seventh game?-just kidding.
