Series Thread: 1970 Stanley Cup Finals Rematch. St Louis Blues vs Boston Bruins

[Groo]

What is it about hockey that they always want to eschew the defeat while highlighting somesort of positive. Real or otherwise
The StL company line. "If anyone tolds us 4 months ago we'd be in a game 7"
How about 2 days ago?

Some fan threw a beer on the ice during that empty netter - That's a Busch move.

I see what you did there.

It has been a familiar trend for Boston this postseason: Rely on the 32-year-old Finn when it matters most. In Games 6 and 7 of the first-round series against Toronto, when Boston faced elimination, and Game 6 on Sunday, Rask is 3-0, with a 1.33 GAA and .953 save percentage. Rask allowed only four goals in 178.81 minutes of play.

STL - shoots self in foot?

Newspaper accidentally posts ads congratulating Blues for winning Stanley Cup ... before actually winning it

Someone on social media (Tweety machine, most likely) claims they also had one mocked up for the Bruins, as well.

Well that stinks. Have to miss Game 7 entirely. Thanks Blues.

Rask gets my Conn Smythe vote unless he pulls a total Freddy and gives up 6 or something in Game 7. which he will not do.

Game 7....................Tuesday 6/11..............................TD Garden

Boston...Eleventy Six (Reverse date) St. Louis...B00 H00 (All zeroes)

Out of the country on business. Bleah.

Either way, the ending will be a good story. And as much as I despise the Bruins, I grudgingly give them a ton of respect for their accomplishments.

Lee Greenwood does not approve this message

But Martin Brodeur does.

Does the Craig Berube death watch thread need to be resurrected?

Binnington is a sieve

That is all.

 

[flyingelvis]

Binnington is a sieve

That is all.

He HAS given up some soft goals.

Vs. Rask, this might be the difference in game 7.

 

[esls79]

Sieves win Cups. Fact.

/ok, not literally or grammatically as a sieve has only won one singular Cup

 

[DefCONNOne]

Binnington is a sieve

That is all.

That's not the narrative I saw and read after Game 5.
