Here's hoping Boston ends up with some rust waiting, go whoever wins the West.

I wonder if there are stats on this. Like after 5 days off you win less or some shit.

Anyway. Thanks Blue Jackets for the Stanley Cup! Boston loves you.
if there are

This game was like jerking off to a snuff film. Series would be over were it not for some bullshit.

Holy crap, I couldn't watch because I was busy, what happened? Did the Blues just play that great? Can they win the next one to kill the series?

They said during the Sharks/Blues game today the team with the longer rest before the SCF has lost for the last 6 years in a row.

Had it on in the background but pretty sure EK, Pavs and some other dude got hurt on some shit they were too scared to call. That mght answer both your questions but it definitely answers your second.

But yeah, from what I gathered SJ shit the bed.

Nah, Sharks are just worn out. EK65 had like 10 minutes of ice time and didn't come back for the third. Pavs was injured again, on top of his current injuries, and was seen hobbling away. Hertl took his third puck to the face. Donskoi injured again. The team was already beat up before the playoffs even started. This is why I was betting on the Blues for this series; they play a physical game and that is the last thing the sharks needed.

Amazing that muh Sharks were able to get this far with that beat up of a team.

Go Blues! I'll take a lot of teams over the damn Bruins, and I want to see a team win it that hasn't yet(that drought is rough).

Is it bad that of all the teams in Boston the one I dislike the least is the Patriots? Well, Celtics too but they're irrelevant unlike the Pats, Sox, and Bruins.

If you're going to tell me that the circle jerk after mass down at the Dunkin that you and your buddies with shamrock calf tattoos planned is full, I'll be devastated.

Make sure you bring your Dropkick Murphy's shirt or they may not embrace you.

Expect the bruins to win but hoping the blues pull it off to further cement the Ryan o Reilly trade as one of the worst of the decade.

I've heard rumors that Buffalo thought they were getting Robert Thomas, not Tage Thompson, and didnt realize they fucked up until after the trade. Blues essentially gave up nothing besides bad players and bad contracts to have O'Reilly.
