  1. I don't particularly care who wins the Cup at this point.  But it's interesting that in the pregame, the NBC announcers appear to be all in on the Blues.  What about the major story about the big chip the Bruins have on their shoulder?  I expect they'll be all over Binnington early.  BTW, the ref that blew the call last game is likely in deep dirt with the league.

    If you are suggesting this organization's woes are limited to Housley as the HC, I think you'll be unpleasantly surprised in the near future.  

    Housley was a part of the problem, sure.  But far from an isolated source of the problem.

    No ones saying there's not more to the picture.  But in the NHL it helps a bit if you have a coach who can coach, who has a clue.

    Blues power play is godawful: overly deliberate, no puck movement, predictable shots.  They performed all the above negatives on that second period power play and as soon as it ended kept constant offensive pressure on the Bruins for about 4 minutes.  What a telling contrast.  But a great game thus far.

    Much better effort in early third period pp.  Looks like someone talked to them about it between periods.

    The Blues season has been crazy.  They made it this far with good goaltending and hard work.  Tonight their goalie did not play well at all  The Blues started fast and strong, then took a tick tack penalty and took a penalty on a challenge and both times it ended up on their net 

    Game 2 the Blues looked faster and better and the Bruins looked plodding.   Whatever they did in game 2 they need to repeat in game 4.  Otherwise there will be another parade in Boston.  

    In game 2, the Bruins played their game for 2 periods.  Then late in the third period and in overtime they clearly had lost their legs.

  6. Can't fathom how the Blues made it this far.  Bruins making them look rather pathetic in this game, and their goaltending hasn't helped in that regard.  The entire series, thus far, exemplifies Bruins general dominance.  They're much faster, shoot better, have better goaltending, and are better on the power play.  Blues are bigger but are more plodding.  Also, Blues continue to take dumb penalties (Perron), which have really cost them.  It would also help the Blues if their first line would do some scoring.  However, Blues do make good trades.
