Official Stanley Cup 2019 thread

I agree. Although St. Louis dominated a lot of their shots were either wide of the net or low percentage. Dallas had almost as many high percentage opportunities as St. Louis did

 

There was one Dallas chance very late in the 3rd, that wrap around should have ended it but St Louis defencemen Boumeester saved the day by getting his stick on it just enough to stop it from going in

 

This one

I thought the Blues pretty much dominated OT. That's usually a pretty good indicator of who will win. And in the end it was a bit of a freak goal from some sloppy defense after a face off loss. I think Dallas' defense got worn out during the game.

A fun game to watch though!

 

At this point, because I have some friends who are long-suffering Blues fans, I'll root for St. Louis all the way!

 

The Offside call that brought back a goal in the Colorado / Sharks game was Chicken shoot!

 

My guess is Boston vs St Louis for the final but I'm pulling for the Canes. I don't think the Sharks are playing that well. Colorado didn't play with the intensity they did against Calgary for whatever reason.

 

OMG meltdown by Carolina at Boston.

The second penalty against them in the 3rd period was bogus. But still they completely fell apart.

 

I agree. Reminds of the NFL reviewing a catch, disecting the hell out of each frame and then creating a call that wasn't there to begin with.

Can we just do away with replay entirely?

 

I was initially against SJ, because they always seem to choke AND their goalie was horrible vs Vegas, but they just keep winning AND the goalie has actually gotten much better.

I've picked against them all along, but now I am going with a SJ-Boston final. Rask of Boston is red hot right now.

 

Yes, they fell apart. Mrazek is annoying, chasing the officials like a crybaby event though their calls were correct.

 

Chara looks like a Stegasaurus out there. If the Canes can stay out of the penalty box, their speed will be the difference.

 

But a Stegasaurus has no elbows to throw around at its opponents

 

Nice try but it doesn't stop OT goals.

Lol

 

I’m with you. Now that my team is out I’m hoping to see Bruins Sharks in the cup. Coin toss at that point, but I’m kinda hoping to see SJ pull it off... particularly after watching them weather game after game without Pavelski. It would also be nice to see the old man lift the cup before he retires.

 

Terrible game played by the Blues.

 

an SJ- Broons final would have me watching Duckpins for Dollars.

 

If Boston-Sj meet the storyline will be Thornton va his former team (the team that drafted him as an 18 year old)

 

The first two penalties were among the dumbest I’ve seen at this level. And their racist goalie stunk up the Shark Tank.

Berube will straighten that out.

 

Bs looking solid today so far

 

They are but I sure do not like Marchand.

 

Nobody does

 

Terrible game by the Canes. No energy

 

Agree. They stunk as bad as St Louis
