Sharks just can`t get over the hump .

[jrgum3]

I don’t want to make excuses for the Sharks because St. Louis is a great team but it’s tough to win without three key players in the lineup. I am interested to see what the series price is for the Stanley Cup finals because I think Boston should be a heavy favorite.

The series price at Bookmaker is -165 for the Bruins and +144 for the Blues. Seems like a fair price for Bruins backers but I usually just bet games individually.

Erik Karlsson, Joe Thornton, and Joe Pavelski may have played their last games as Sharks

Bruins should be the Favs. but I`m rooting for the Blues .

Hard for me to believe this Blues team is representing the Western Conference in the Finals

That`s why the hockey playoffs are great .

Not sure about Miller, but everyone else on Boston's blue line ready to go

[hotcross]

first time the Blues have ever won the Western Conference

this is a rematch of the 1970 Stanley Cup Finals, which Boston swept the Blues 4-0 games

NHL structure was two divisions in those days, East and West, with 6 teams in each

Pittsburgh and Philadelphia were in the West Division

[mr. leisure]

Finally going to start .

Lets go BLUES

[hotcross]

Unlike the Blues to go up by 2 goals and lose the game

Probably a good indicator of which team will come out on top as Champions

[jrgum3]

St. Louis spent too much time in the penalty box in this game. The Bruins will take advantage sooner or later and that's exactly what they did with all the power play opportunities they had tonight.

[mr. leisure]

Boston a little rusty from the long layoff but came on strong in the 2nd and 3rd periods .

[yisman]

dunn questionable for Game 2

(5-29-19) Blues-Bruins Game 2 Gameday Lineup -- Dunn, Thomas both out for Game 2; Fabbri likely to go back in

[mr. leisure]

C`mon, Blues steal this game in Boston .

[mr. leisure]

Nice job Blues

Tough beat on the over , 4 goals in the 1st period and then scoreless until OT .

[jrgum3]

I took the Blues ml about the only thing that went right for me betting wise today. Looking forward to game 3 we got ourselves a series boys.

[Otters27]

Missed Blues ML. Took it in game one fuk

[yisman]

Matt Grzelcyk probably out for the rest of the playoffs after he got hit in the head during Game 2.

[mr. leisure]

Blues' Oskar Sundqvist suspended one game for hit on Bruins' Matt Grzelcyk

[hotcross]

That's an important loss for Boston if Grzelcyk cannot return

[yisman]

Sounds like Dunn will remain out for Game 3 but Thomas might return

[yisman]

back-breaking empty netter with 2 minutes left

[yisman]

Dunn is on the ice smiling, laughing with players, which is a huge improvement over two days ago. These are good developments for him to perhaps get back in. Berube said this AM he'll know more regarding Dunn and Thomas after today's skate. #stlblues

[hotcross]

Something came up Saturday where I couldn't even watch the game....but glad I missed it

How the H-E-double hockey sticks do they allow 7 goals on 24 Boston shots?!!?!

Not up to standard of a team in the finals

[mr. leisure]

Almost a must win for the Blues tonight .

[hotcross]

When a team plays that poorly, you have to wonder if they got bad food, lack of sleep, etc.

It wasn't just the goalie's fault, bad defense is what leads to those type of scores

[aggieshawn]

Time to do a martingale ML on Briuns

[yisman]

Chara hit in the mouth with a puck in the second

got stitches and returned to the bench for the third with a full face shield but did not play

expect him back for Game 5

[hotcross]

Chara suffered a broken jaw from that puck to the face in the 2nd period.

[mr. leisure]

We got a series guys
