GDT SCF Gm 6: 6/9/19 | 7 PM CT | vs Bruins | NBC

I'm sorry to say that the Blues basically need to pummel Boston into next month and worry about the suspensions later on. They're not going to win game 7 any other way, Bruins are more skilled, faster and have been playing as a cohesive unit for much longer. The only thing that goes in the Blues favor is that they should be well rested given they didn't actually start playing hockey until January.

I guess either way I should be happy--this season took an amazing turn that no one expected. If you go back to page 5 of the forum and look at the threads there, we all had a lot of doom and gloom, rightfully so given the way things were going. But, second place is still the first loser and losing in a 7 game series is still losing. I just hope they realize that it's hard enough to get to the SCF once, to expect them to manage to swing it again next season is a really tall task. The Cup isn't the hardest trophy in sports to win for no reason and if they come up short it could be a long time before they have this chance again.

I'm also curious as to why our physical game seemed to be MIA last night? We've been pounding Boston every time they touched the puck in previous games making them hesitant but for some reason that was missing last night.

Because those dickless fucks at the DoPS keep suspending us for hits that the Bruins invite with their bent-over, head-down style of play. They might be coached that way since they know they'll get the calls/suspensions in their favor. We're also the taller team.

Only six players have ever been suspended during the Stanley Cup Final, and two of those are from the Blues:

Ivan Barbashev (STL 2019) - illegal check to the head
Oskar Sundqvist (STL 2019) - illegal check to the head
Aaron Rome (VAN 2011) - late hit
Chris Pronger (ANA 2007) - blow to the head
Ville Nieminen (CGY 2004) - hit from behind
Jiri Fischer (DET 2002) - cross check

Given that there's no game 8, the only solution may be to play a game so dirty it makes Goon Attack blush.

Blues need to come out physical in game 7 - that is where they dominated in games 4 and 5. I thought they looked flat all night in game 6. Too much pressure at home - I think you guys play better when on the road. And what was with the premature newspaper announcement? Not the team's fault of course but damn that doesn't help.

Welcome back!

If the Blues end up losing tomorrow night I'm fairly certain that the St. Louis Post Dispatch will be burned to the ground.
