With the 2019 NHL playoffs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Stanley_Cup_playoffs) having begun, who are you rooting for to win the Stanley Cup?


Some burning questions: Will the Washington Capitals repeat as Stanley Cup champions? Can the St. Louis Blues continue their miracle comeback season to win it all for the 1st time ever on the back of Jordan Binnington? Can the Tampa Bay Lightning win it all after winning everything in the regular season, or will they be knocked out early? Will the Vegas Golden Knights exact revenge to win it all? Will the Stanley Cup return to Canada should Calgary, Winnipeg, or Toronto win it? Find out as we get through the playoffs.



2018 NHL Playoffs (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=289214.0)

Rooting for Winnipeg, realistically it's probably Tampa.

Let’s go Stars, but they are gonna get thumped

Lets Go Blues!

How 'bout them Blues! They came back to win 2-1 to take a 1-0 series lead. #PlayGloria 

Stars come and top the preds in Nashville in the first game, a much better team, very unexpected.

Blue Jackets!  :d

Hate the (brown) Stars, go Preds!

Don’t really follow hockey much, but will probably be nominally rooting for the SJ/Vegas winner.

I want to see a Leafs-Flames or Leafs-Jets final.

That was such a great game by the Leafs. Shut them down well in the third and did very well defensively (Zaitsev and Muzzin in particular were great tonight). Also, Marner <3. Still just one game, but a great start.

Leafs and Columbus have both won game 1, maybe this will be the year of the upset.

I'll probably pull for the Penguins

5-1 Blue Jackets.  :d :d

Top Choices:
Boston Bruins
Followed by New York Islanders


Would not root for:
Tampa Bay Lightning
Washington Capitals
Pittsburgh Penguins

Who I think will win, sadly either Washington or Tampa Bay, whichever one wins the Eastern Conference

2 more, Columbus! Please!

LOLOLOL Penguins one away from getting swept!

this is horrifying. death to ohio.

Bit late to be posting this, but here's my bracket:

()

As you may or may not notice, it hasn't held up very well :P.

#lumbus

but everyone's bracket is going to be broken except some homers from Ohio

It was interesting to see the Leafs give us a lesson in how their strengths can actually be used to shut Boston down. We never really saw it last year, which kind of led to this impression that Toronto's style of play was a poor match for Boston. But on Thursday the Leafs made Boston look like an old, haggard team. Gives me some hope for the series, though Saturday's game was definitely frustrating.

It's all Babcock's fault tbh.

Lovely to see the Lightning and especially the Penguins failing badly. Might just be Caps Year once again!

2 sweeps today, lol Tampa.  :d

Honestly, I disagree and think Dubas needs to take a backseat to Babcock, but to each their own. Sparks was Dubas’s fault, and I’d say that was a pretty bad debacle...

What a night, two sweeps of two top teams - One of which I hate.  Vegas is rolling too. Blues and Jets continue to wear each other out.  All is good.

Seeing the Blues lose a 2-0 series lead makes me sick. The Blues better wake up Thursday if we want any shot of advancing!!!

Just a question:
Is Tampa Bay, the team with the best regular season record to be swept in the first round of the playoffs, in NHL history

(Meaning has there been a team with more points than them, who was swept in the first round)

Don’t follow hockey, but...did a 1 seed get swept in the first round? Is that more normal in hockey than in other sports? Because if not...lmao.

Yes, Tampa Bay, who won the President's Trophy (best regular season record/most points), was swept by Columbus, a wild card team

Yes, it's the first time the President's Trophy winner has been swept in the first round and only the 3rd time the President's Trophy winner has been swept period (the other teams were swept in the Stanley Cup Finals).

If the Leafs manage to beat Boston, but then get swept by Columbus, I will be so pissed.

That's what's going to happen. Then the Jackets will get steam-rolled by Trotz and the Isles.

Dallas is destroying Nashville 4-0 at the end of 1st period game 4. We so would have beat them in game 3 if Ben Bishop was not playing so badly last game.

Good night of hockey last night, Preds had to pull their Pekka.
() (https://postimages.org/)

The Blackhawks had the best record in the Campbell Conference in the 92-93 season, but didn't win the President's Trophy, and got swept by the Blues in the first round.  I was at the 4th game, 60 feet or so behind Belfour when the Blues won it in OT.

Yeah, but Juuse our other goalie? He's just as good if not better.

What a comeback by the Blues! Going into the 3rd, they were down 2-0 and came back to win it, with Jaden Schwartz's goal with 15 or so seconds left being the difference maker.

They can clinch a ticket to the 2nd round on Saturday night at Enterprise.

I saw they were down 2-0 going into the third and kind of assumed they were going to lose and was very happy to find out they managed to pull it out.  I hope I can figure out a way to watch tomorrow night.

Well, that's serious Beyond sucked for us pens fans.

Still, awesome for the jackets!

Those last 43 seconds of the game were the longest 43 seconds of my life.

I want to say the Leafs take it in 6 at home, but I don't know. We might end up going to game 7 and losing again.

Not a good year to be the #1 seed.  o_O

Are yall playing him again in a hour, or is Rinne coming back?

4-2 now! Keep it up Stars! Seguin!

5-3, keep it up

Bring it home well boys!

This would have been over by now if Bish was on his game in game 3.

We're going to win tomorrow. This is our year.

Blues advance to the 2nd round 4-2 over the Jets with a 3-2 win tonight.

My bracket is toast. R.I.P.  8-O

The Blues were 3-0 when I slept through the games, 1-1 when I paid attention to them online and 0-1 when I watched.  Clearly I'm cursed :)

Welp, Game 7 it is now...

Come on Stars, bring it home in the house tonight

As a Habs fan, hope the Leafs suffer a repeat of the 2013 game 7.

Go Blue Jackets! Go Columbus!

Stars Win!
Going to StLouis.

Lmao if Carolina wins Wednesday all four 1 seeds will have lost.

()

Go Blues, guess the worst power play in 10 years doesn't cut it!

Hopefully the Blues win and go to the Western Conference finals (and eventually the Stanley Cup).

Canada's Stanley Cup drought continues for another year. With Toronto's elimination at the hands of Boston, there are no teams from north of the US/Canada Border left in the playoffs.

Go St Louis!

Holy sh!t Sharks came back from that beating into a 4-4 overtime in game 7?! Someone gonna win any minute now.

The Sharks have completed the comeback in game 7, as they were down 3-0 to take a 4-3 lead, only for Vegas to tie it up 4-4 to force OT, and complete the caper as they scored in OT to win 5-4 and eliminate the Golden Knights in Game 7.



Cody Eakin's 5 minute major + game misconduct was the game and series' turning point. 

Now we’re subject to the 3-1 meme...

A penalty like that shouldn't be called in the waning minutes of a game 7 unless it's really egregious. Pavelski clearly tripped backwards as he was pushed into Stastny.  That push "cross-check" happens often in face-offs. At worst it should've been a standard 2 min minor.

RIGGED!

Why does a certain side always cry foul, weaksauce

Goddamn, I am so angry about this one. Where’s Dennis Wideman when you need him?

()

I don't like either team, but boy was Vegas screwed.

I agree with Marchessault: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/marchessault-goes-off-refs-penalty-costs-knights-series-vs-sharks/

I 4-1 am quite happy that I no longer have to cheer for the Bruins anymore.

Oh thank god SJ won.

Every wild card made it, how wacky.

me too.  That would be a bull sh**t call in a regular season game, in the middle of the second period.  But in the third period of a game 7?  Total bull sh**t.  And a funking 5 min major?  He's right, it's embrassing.

Blues take game 1 3-2, thanks to Tarasenko's 2 goals and Binnington coming up strong.

refs suck this game two in St Louis, so far Dallas playing phenomenal, Blues haven’t been able to pass for sh!t in the first period.

Win!

Going to Blues vs Stars game 3 right now.

Blues have not lost on the road in the playoffs this year.  LGB!

Yeah this game sucked, total waste of time and resources, painful to watch. I can see the end of the road for Dallas here. Gg

Further (hella bias) “thoughts”

refs sucked but that was only like 10% of it the rest was the Stars fault

Dallas played mediocre, Blues played a solid good game but not great

Bishop had yet another sh!tty game getting cheesed from the inner blue line corners

Blues ran a much better interference on the previously far superior stars puck passings

Dallas is sorely missing out on the big defensive bodies on its team but not currently playing  such as Mark Methot who has been out all season and is probably never coming back, Stephen Johns also out all season, maybe coming back next year, and Oleksiak who has been gone for the past few games and on a day by day return watch, hopefully soon. Only Esa and Roman have some size left in our defense and Roman is older and not quick, Klingberg and Fedun are just getting bodied without enough backup, Klingberg is a stick and Fedun is just not big or that good for nhl hockey. Only defenseman thriving on the stars rn is Miro (duh).

What a wild win Game 3 was for my Blues. I just wish my team would stop needlessly blowing leads and do stupid stuff such as giving up that shorty.

Man, does the NHL have the best professional postseason or what! Even with just one of the eight teams I casually (very casually) cheer for in the quarterfinal stage, this is just so much fun. At risk of sounding like the those SUPER annoying people who only show up for March Madness with full confidence after not watching a game in 11 months, I assure you I do at least watch my Rangers for most of the year. Thank you all for being more than casual fans the rest of the year so we can all experience such a pure and energized postseason.

The Dallas-St. Louis game last night was an unbelievable roller coaster of momentum shifts and turns - the shorthanded goal was unreal, only for the Stars to go south as they always have and give it right back. And even with three goals against, Binnington felt like a brick wall in the crease that was not going to let Dallas beat him. He was like a 160 pound bowling pin trying to be knocked down by the 6 pound training ball. Not a chance!

And tonight's game between Columbus and Boston was really what drove me to post that this is some of the best hockey I have seen in a couple years, which comes with the territory of living in New York. Columbus' pure passing and consistent opportunity-creation for the duration of the game was artful. Where was a Power Play like the one that scored the second goal when Tortorella was leading the Rangers! Rask did everything he could, but the Blue Jacket energy was unmatched. Boston also had flashes of brilliance with some magnificent set-ups ricocheted off Bobrovsky, but they weren't able to convert and the strategy did not create nearly as many opportunities.

And I'd hate to forget to commend Columbus' defensive wizardry when they were at full strength in the defensive zone which was extraordinarily helpful in minimizing the Boston opportunities. That is a Tort staple I did not forget.

Great job to all participants!

San Jose is my favourite team left. Dallas is tolerable, has beloved Zucc and would give the Rangers a pick. The Jackets are a lovable underdog with a deserving coach. And the Isles are the only division rival I could consider cheering on. Definitely a lot of reasons to keep on watching!

Thank you James Creighton for creating this great sport. Thank you Gary Bettman for revitalizing the game and the whole playoff experience. Thank you players for fighting for a fair wage on the ice and being exemplary citizens off of it. And thank you to the true fans from Nashville to Vegas (Las Vegas) to Columbus for coming to the games, cheering your hearts out and welcoming this funny foreign ice sport with open arms. Let's go! I'll let you so-called experts get back to your stats and numbers. Happy everything forever!

Holy sh!t Binnington is 6 foot 2 and 160 pounds?! I though Klingberg was a stick lol. That's like ultra twig skinny! He is still very good though, but Miro should have been a Calder finalist, not Binnington. This is a must win game 4 for Dallas momentum wise, Miro still has my faith, we were at the game on monday and waited in one of the crowded fanshops for quite a while to get a Miro jersey.

Who are you rooting for? I'm pulling for the Islanders in the Eastern Conference and St. Louis in the Western Conference and pulling for St. Louis overall.

Out of the ones left, Islanders and Stars.

Dallas, then San Jose Sharts

The Blues obviously.

If not the Blues, then Blue Jackets, Hurricanes, or Sharks.

Definitely rooting for the Islanders and Blues, if not NYI then the Blue Jackets

Every time Roman Polák is on the ice i cringe waiting for a stupid penalty, last of the big time goons.

Wtf was that final minute of Stars vs Blues game 4 of the 2nd period? Perron just whacks Bishop in the back and nothing? My dad was screaming someone should beat the sh!t out of Perron, he’s not that big, and I said forget that sh!tbag, flipping board one of these refs a la Roenick style. This crew of refs has sucked the past few games. Sh!tbags like Perron are expected to be that way, but not the refs. Also lol at Binnington shoving Benn, Binningtom better hope he would have backup in the fight otherwise that twig would get snapped by most anyone on the stars roster.

If the Bruins blow this after having their path cleared, I'm going to stop watching hockey (again).

Prediction for Semifinals: San Jose over Dallas (want San Jose), Carolina over Columbus (want Columbus)
Prediction for Finals: Carolina over San Jose (want San Jose)

I'm rooting for Toronto to win it in 2020 though. Toronto has not won since May 2, 1967 and is the only Original Six team not to win the Cup in the expansion era (Fall 1967-present).

Can definitely see a game 7 brewing between Boston and Columbus.

Teams left in order of which ones I want to win the Cup:

1. Isles
2. Canes
3. Blue Jackets
4. Avs
5. Bruins
6. Sharks
7. Meteor
8. Blues
9. Stars

The New York Islanders lose 5-2. The Islanders swept the Penguins out, only to get swept by the Hurricanes. Carolina will head to the Eastern Conference Final to await the Bruins-Blue Jackets series winner.

Bye Bye Trotzie.  :'[ :'[

Stars broke the winning streak of St Louis playoff road thingie, hopefully they can continue and shut this thing down when they come back home to play Sunday.

Sh!t, Blues scored.

Sunday's a do-or-die game for the Blues. This is a familiar scenario for my club these past few seasons, like having a 2-0/2-1 series lead and lose it to be down 3-2.

I hope the Blues at least force Game 7 (and hopefully win that game too), because I am personally sick and tired of the Blues bowing out in the 1st or 2nd round just about every time we make the playoffs! We're long overdue for a Stanley Cup!

Lol even if you make it past Dallas, San Jose or the Avalanche would probably kick the blues.

As a Toronto fan, I hate Boston with a passion. Unless we can get lucky and avoid Boston, we will lose round 1 in 7 games as usual. We really need Boston to get knocked out in the 1st round by another team. They really are our kryptonite.

ouch!

That was a much-needed 4-1 victory for my Blues to set up a win or go home game for both teams Tuesday night. Hopefully we continue our quest for the Cup past Tuesday night.

The winner of Game 7 gets the San Jose-Colorado series winner, while the loser goes home.

I'm feeling good since I'm pretty sure Bishop has PTSD to go along with a bitchin bruise on his shoulder.

Very much rooting for a Game 7. It's so typical for wealthy snobby Boston to always defeat Ohio based teams in the clutch, regardless of their ultimate fate in the end.

Anything can happened in game 7, but if I had to plant my wild guess, I would bet on St Louis. Bishop played super well in the regular season, and he got us here, but his post season performance has taken a dive for the worse. Our top one line of Benn, Seguin, and Radulov (thought not as much Radulov), has also not performed nearly as well as their regular season playing. Also, we are missing a lot of big muscle, letting St Louis phyiscally control the game. Hanzal, Methot, Johns, and Oleksiak all gone, that really hurts. Those are big dudes that could have been a series changer, guess we will never know. Rn the true Stars are the new kids, especially the super talented 2nd line, where even older Spezza is holding down his own, and preventing an otherwise complete faceoff blowout (even though it is pretty bad as is rn). This especially sucks since game 7 is there, and I will have to watch the second most obnoxious crowd in the NHL (just behind Nashville) jeer and party if my guess is right. Oh well, I guess as a democrat I am used to watching my team lose to an obnoxious and dirty coalition on the other end, so at least I am prepared, sigh.

Funny, Dallas has to be the worst crowd in hockey imo, some of the most uninspired chants in the league.

DALLAS! STARS! DALLAS! STARS!
more like
HERP! DERP! HERP! DERP!

Even Rich Clune said it best: "The nicest [penalty boxes in the NHL are in] Nashville, for sure. The worst is Dallas," claims Clune. "The fans’ comments [in Dallas] are awful . . . I don’t know if it’s a bunch of season ticket holders who sit down there, but they give Texans a bad rep. The IQ is extremely low in that section."

Dude chill :p, ofc what I said is not objective and quantitive, but what kind of team fan doesn't badmouth the other teams and elevate their own lol.

Who pissed in your Cheerios?

Boston eliminates Columbus by blanking the Blue Jackets 3-0 to win the series 4-2. The Bruins head to the Eastern Conference Final to play the Hurricanes.

I hate Boston sports so much. Go Hurricanes!

Avs' Gabriel Landeskog scores in OT to force a winner-take-all game 7 to be played Wednesday night. The winner of that series will play the winner of Tuesday night's Stars-Blues game.

Whatever happens tonight, I am proud of the Stars, this team has done so well this year, exceeded many expectations, and caused a ruckus in the playoffs. Not to say I won’t be blaming and yelling at the typical suspects if we lose though ;)

play your hearts out boys!

You know we are in deep sh!t when these are the kinds of tweets being put out there by the Stars

https://mobile.twitter.com/DallasStars/status/1125951916180234242

“hanging in there”? wow I am so reassured already!

A thriller's happening in St. Louis: 80 minutes ain't enough to resolve who gets one berth to the Western Conference Final.

Ugh, somebody just score, it’s been like four hours I have been sitting around here.

Finally it’s over, Stars just could not manage.

game 7 OT NHL hockey is the best thing in sports

Betacuck performance by the first line, sad that it had to end with the Stars taking a big crap on Bishop’s effort today. Well, that’s history now, San Jose is my first pref now, hopefully they don’t get totally viked tomorrow.

And the worst team in the league is done. I can rest easy tonight.

How about those Blues?! We won in 7 over the Stars, thanks to hometown kid Pat Maroon. Play Gloria!

The Western Conference Final slate is set in stone, as the Sharks win Game 7 3-2 and the series 4-3.

The Blues and Sharks will meet in the WCF for the right to represent the Western Conference in the Stanley Cup Final.


Hope it's the Blues that win.

Another game 7, another controversial call saves the Sharts. The fix is in!

He was clearly offside. Go Sharks!

Blues played awful last night. Too much penalties and sloppy turnovers doomed us in that 6-3 game 1 loss to the Sharks. 

yeah, those turnovers killed us (and SJ had a couple of really nice goals)


also, Joe Thornton looks like the "that'll do pig" guy (James Cromwell).

Very happy to see that little Joe is back and playing well, watching him down on the ice bleeding out from the top of his helmet onto the ice hurt so much to watch :(. Big Joe was a good stand in for leadership and morale and played well, but little Joe being back is great.

The Blues got a much-needed win to split the series 1-1 as we head back to St. Louis on Wednesday. We had a 2-0 lead, only to lose it to a 2-2 tie; however, the Blues did recover to win the game 4-2. 

Looks like Boston is getting ready to wrap the Eastern Conference Championship up.

I'm kind of rooting for the sharks. It's about time. I'm surprised they haven't passed their sell-by date as was predicted a few years ago.

Joe Thornton deserves his name on Lord Stanley.

The Blues got robbed by the refs full stop. That game-winning OT goal by the Antichrist Terrorist Sharks should NOT have counted and been ruled a hand pass... except it wasn't called one. The game should've been a 4-3 Blues win or a 5-4 OT win for the Blues. The wrong team is up in the series 2-1.

I call this make up for the sh!t referees against Dallas, go Sharts

The refs are bailing out the Sharts harder than Obama bailed out the banking industry.

Joe Thornton was a beast when I first started watching Hockey in 2005/2006 or so. I am stunned he is still on SJ, and still a beast.

The Boston Bruins sweep Carolina out of the playoffs by a score of 4-0. They'll await the Blues-Sharks series winner to compete in the Stanley Cup Final.

NYI swept Pittsburgh in round 1, then Carolina swept NYI in round 2, and then Boston swept Carolina in round 3. Boston is destined to be swept in the final.

Sharks are tired, they shouldn't even bother flying back to St.Louis.

The Blues are one win away from going to their first Stanley Cup Finals since 1970. Let's hope they punch that ticket on Tuesday night.

Crikey, I reel at the day where I will have to root for (barfs) Boston over the Blues.

Yep. Go Blues!

We're cup bound for the first time in 49 years. Now we need 4 more to win it all for the 1st time ever.
#LGB #PlayGloria
 

The Blues will face the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals.

D@mnit, I have to cheer for the Bruins.

Blues in 4, you heard it here first

Go Blues!

Interesting prediction. Care to elaborate?

yes, Boston is soft, the Blues are hard.  The Blues are going to punish them, just like they did SJ.  History owes the Blues.  The last time the Blues were in the finals, they got swept by the Bruins.  In this playoffs, the Isle swept Pit, Carolina swept the Isle and then Boston swept Carolina.  So now it's Boston's turn.  Poetic justice.  Karma.  Momentum.  Everything is pointing towards the Blues.

Go Boston i guess.

My heart wishes you were right, but my head says Bruins in 6. :(

Bruins in 4, still no Cup Final wins and the Curse of Orr ;)

Bruins in 4 or 5

LGB!

The Blues choked away a 2-0 lead, lose the game 4-2 to allow Boston to take the series 1-0. Everything after Tarasenko's goal that got us a 2-0 lead was bad for the Blues.

What an awesome game for the Bruins. They were a bit rusty in the start because they had not played in forever, but they caught fire and pulled Binnington's pants down, just wish they got that empty netter in the final twenty something seconds. If they were not rusty, their already plenty adequate 4-2 beating of the blues would have been 5-2 or 6-2 given so many so close pipe shots. Blues still playing nasty but at least refs are finally clamping down on them, but when you have a sh!thole city can you really expect the team to not be dirty players? lol

They started playing their old Bloozer way of stupid cheap shots and penalties. That identity has been mostly gone on games they won, the Ducks are similar.  It's why I dislike those teams.  If the Blues break free of that nonsense, they can become likable and win the Cup.

Tonight, there's three simple tasks for the Blues to do: Get back to St. Louis with the series tied 1-1, stop with the stupid penalties and turnovers, and no more blowing 2-0 leads.

What a big win for the Blues that was. We're headed back to St. Louis even at 1-1, thanks to Carl Gunnarsson's OT game-winner. 3 more Glorias, and that Cup's going to St. Louis!!!

Suspensions because somebody got hurt are stupid.  That was a clean hit.

Agreed. Sundqvist didn't deserve the suspension at all.

Ooh, he got one, good!

only 'cause the Bruin that got hurt is soft.  If he hadn't gotten hurt, there wouldn't have been a penalty.  Because it wasn't a penalty.
()

Disagree with the former, but agree with the latter. There shouldn't be a suspension here

Two wrongs never makes a right, never said that, but Nordstrom is also substantially smaller haha and he did not obviously raise his shoulder blade to aim for the head like Sundqvist did. No puck, severe boarding, and Sundqvist is a dirty goon, deserved it. St Louis is obviously a great team, but they are filthy as hell, and deserved that.

Haha St Louis getting their booties smacked badly at home, deny them that cup yet again plox and thanks haha lol.

Paddle them haha!

Wholesome memery

()

The Blues lose 7-2 to the Bruins in Game 3 to go down in the series 2-1, thanks to the Bruins' PP scoring 4 of the goals. This game was a damn embarrassment in front of our home crowd. The good news is that we finally scored on the power play.

This team had better wake the hell up in Game 4 if we want any chance at winning the Stanley Cup!!!! 😡🤬😡🤬🖕🏼

Good, St. Louis crowd is full of obnoxious drunkards, bad, sad, and haram!

Things just went pretty bad besides the sh goal after Chara got a puck to the face. Boston needs to prepare for a Chara less future soon, still solid blues game victory.

The Blues are two Glorias away from winning the Stanley Cup, as they defeated the Bruins 4-2 to even the series 2-2 and ensure a 6th game happens on Sunday Night.

bagel23's correct regarding the Bruins future without Zdeno Chára, which could happen as soon as this offseason or within the next year or two.

jc dude, no matter which side you are rooting for I hope we could all agree that's a highly annoying word lol. That's the name of a mexican restaurant nearby lmao, I just say wins or dubs or victories, but do as you wish.

Idk why I am looking forward to this now, but whatever happens I just want to go home crack an oj and watch/ half sleep because I am exhausted through a good game of hockey. Wanting tonight to come soon.

oh man, I'd be pissed if I was a Bruins fan, that was tripping.....


....but I'm a Blues fan so...LGB!  Bring it home!

Binnington is looking too strong to overcome, oh well, gg guys, congrats.

One win away from the cup for my Blues. Hopefully we complete the comeback last-to-cup winner story on Sunday night on home ice. 

Play Gloria!!

YOOOOOOOOOOO....

Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy

()

Congressman from Zanesville Ohio and notorious power bottom aficionado Troy Balderson

()

One win away, but that missed tripping call for a goal is really going to motivate the Bruins now.

Yeesh, ok I'll cede this one to you.

It could really end tonight, wow.

The Blues are on the verge of winning the Stanley Cup, as they currently hold a 3-2 series lead over the Bruins. Game 6 is tonight. 

I hope history is made tonight and that the Blues win it! #LGB #WeWantTheCup #PlayGloria

Toronto won game 1 and was up 3-2 after game 5. It seemed like Toronto had the initiative. Don't ever count Boston out.

Bruins spoil the Blues' 1st ever #StanleyCup trophy hoisting chance , as they buttwhooped the Note 5-1 to even the series 3-3. 🤬😡😡🤬

4 of the 5 Bruins goals came in the 3rd.  The game was close until we got to the disastrous 3rd period, when Brandon Carlo scored a goal off a lucky bounce to extend their lead to 2 goals.

The only good thing about this game is that at least we scored a goal, coming via video review.

On Wednesday night, the Blues and Bruins will play a winner take all Game 7 in Boston to determine which team will take home Lord Stanley. If the Blues want to win the Cup, we need to play way better than this debacle of a game (esp. the 1st 5-on-3 and the 3rd period) and stay out of the goddamn penalty box!!!!!

Kinda hard to do that last part when you have so many awesome skill wise yet completely nasty to the core players.

Boston is going to lose

Hoping and praying that the Blues walk out of Boston with the trophy.

Tonight is the big night: the winner-take-all Game 7 between the Blues and Bruins.

Hopefully it's the Blues that pull off the victory.

Binnington is on fire, this looks too hard to be reversed.

The worst to first comeback is complete!!!!!! The St.Louis Blues win the Stanley Cup for the 1st time ever, as they win Game 7 4-1. #STLvsBOS #PlayGloria #LGB #WeWantTheCup #WeAllBleedBlue #STLBlues 💙💛💙💛

Congrats to the long suffering Blues fans.  This is the most likable team they have iced, and glad they were the first to win it.

Congrats guys, yall fought hard and earned it, wanted it the most, good game.

If there was ever a night to have 27 shots again, this would be it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IooxGsE-jE

Lol watching stuff like this to feel a little better haha, if Chara did not have that broken jaw he would have taken Maroon to the woodchipper for like the third or fourth time. Then again a person who is even a small guy at 5'10 5'11 but knows where to land his skate properly could take that goon out for a while. Hopefully a cheapshotter pulls a stunt like this next year if they get close to the cup again. He's a formidable opponent and a big dude who can only be countered by a handful of people in the league, and it would be very beneficial to take him out of a playoff series.

It's kind of funny that murder capital St.Louis didn't have a single arrest during their celebration and Toronto in "safe" Canada had multiple shootings during theirs.

I don't think the murderers are a big hockey fan base. Hockey fan weapons are their fists.

It's idiotic that you even find humor in this.

Can't expect much more from dead0man dude.

from a couple of unironic Assad supporters, this is a huge compliment to me.  Thanks authoritarian assholes for making my day a little brighter.

Okay, so we are bad people. How does that make finding shootings "kind of funny" okay?
