theglock Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Well, Boston didn't show up for overtime in game two, but they showed up in St Louis last night. Nowhere near as good a game as game 2 was, but I much preferred the outcome. See you guys tomorrow night. :^> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) The Blues decided on the, Let's all stand around and admire Boston's play while they whistle pucks past our goal tender. The Bruins didn't try to make all of those perfect pass plays last night and it showed. When both treams play well, as they did in game 2, it is a pleasure to watch. I hope game 4 is more interesting. Edited June 3, 2019 by tous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Another quality hockey game. This has been a great series so far. Except game 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Worked late. Watched the 2nd, then went to bed so I could get up this early. Game 7's are never a bad thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theglock Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Very good game, except for the final score. I thought when Boston held off that five minute Blues frenzy in the Boston zone, and then immediately scored a short-handed goal, it would take the life out of the Blues. Unfortunately, I was wrong. ;^> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) I am with the Kid of Huaco. Seven games. May the best team win. Hard not to enjoy quality hockey regardless of who you're rooting for. St. Louis is the right team to play Boston. San Jose wouldn't have been up to it. However, a Boston fan should appreciate that we Blues guys have been waiting for 50 years, dang it.

theglock Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm afraid of seven games. I want it over soonest...for the Bruins. The Blues have been playing way too much in the Bruins' end (no pun intended). And as for how long Blues fans have waited, it's nowhere near what Red Sox fans waited, so suck it up. ;^> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 You could touch it, but you weren't allowed to pick it up. They probably learned not to let you do that decades ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Shooting at an empty net is actually bad ju-ju. We learned, as little kids, it can backfire. Quick. Just dump it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Not as good as previous games, though I liked the outcome, of course. The Blues played keep-away for 3/4 of the danged game. I am not a fan of playing to not lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 But I do remember the Devils "Trap" system. Which made for the most boring games ever witnessed. Whilst they won the cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues abandoned their fore check for almost the entire second and third periods. I do admire that they began to trap at their blue line, but they played a defensive game based on one goal. Me, I like defensemen that skate the puck out of danger rather then just toss it up the boards again and again, but that isn't today's game. I am also not a fan of the high to low forecheck unless you have Al MacInnes or Sergei Zubov on the point. Again, the Bruins passed up shots on goal for the miracle passes. Don't tell them.

tous Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I hear tell that they got Don Denkinger to referee tonight's game.. Yes, it's an obscure reference, but not to Cardinal's fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 86° in SL right now (and has been warmer than that the last couple days). Not having a lot of practice (ahem) keeping ice this far into the spring (spring?), I wonder if it's going to have an effect. It could really slow things down.

tous Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I miss the Arena. They actually had seats where you had to straddle a huge concrete post. Dan Kelly and Gus Kyle on the radio. Big organ, no multimedia or hip hop between periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
