Well, to be fair, DPS only wants to pretend they care about head injuries. Until there's a lawsuit about torn ACL's from knee-on-knee hits, I don't think you'll see suspensions for that anytime soon. But I'm 99% with ya on the two suspensions (the 1% where we disagree is whether Johanson put himself in a vulnerable position - I don't think he did. But I don't think it was dirty or suspend-worthy. Just an accidental hit to the head while throwing a check.

Is it official who is gonna be scratched for Barbashev? Thomas?

I hear Grzelcyk is gonna be suiting up.

Thomas is out, Blais back on the line with Maroon and Bozak. Thomas is still dealing with the wrist injury. Bortuzzo out....Edmunson in. Berube says Petro and Paryako eat up a ton of ice time and are RH shots so he wanted another lefty in there. Which....that's a 50/50 shot. Edmunson can be a mean, tough...good player. But he's had a rough finals.

I'd rather have Bortuzzo. Edmunson looks has looked like a stiff. I think for this kind of game, I'd go with Bortuzzo.

Yeah. I'm not thrilled about that move at all. But, Berube has a pretty good pulse for his players so I'll take his word for it.

Work has been nuts. I'm here now. I need 3 hours of madness on the ice tonight. can't wait.

I live on the West coast and won't be getting home until 6, and so I'll miss the first period. It's been pretty terrifying to turn the TV on not knowing how the game is going, and in this case it's going to be so much worse so I may need to work on some breathing exercises. This is probably the biggest sports night in St. Louis history, with both the Enterprise Center and Busch Stadium selling out for watch parties, and I really hope everyone gets to celebrate tonight, especially after the misery of Game 6. It would mean so much for my parents to finally witness this after waiting 50+ years. But since this is a sick and unjust world, I wouldn't be surprised if a missed hand pass goal in Double OT wins it for the Bruins.

It's too bad it's almost 100 degrees in Portland right now or else I'd be outside looking for four-leaf clovers!

Dittomist · « **Reply #1547 on:** June 12, 2019, 04:31:08 PM »

And I just hope Edmundson can stay out of the damn penalty box this time!

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1548 on:** June 12, 2019, 04:53:47 PM »

Crossing fingers for the 13th championship in 18 years. I always wondered what it would fel like. That feeling never gets old.

Gokd luck to my friends Gary & Kev. Either way it ends it's been one hell of a series.

Hey, this guy predicted it would go 7 games. Go B'!

Rattlehead · « **Reply #1549 on:** June 12, 2019, 04:54:34 PM »

I was in France for the last week so I missed games 5 & 6, but thanks to the NHL dragging out the series, I get to watch game 7 tonight now that I'm back in the States.

I'm really pulling for the Blues, the odds are clearly against them as they've been all along. Something tells me they'll win in a close game, like a 2-1 final score. Hopefully the game will be exciting enough to help me battle this jet lag, but I'm sure I'll pass out on the couch at some point in the second period

My heart rate is already at unhealthy levels.

Paying Bill's seemed more calming than watching the pregame.

TAC · « **Reply #1552 on:** June 12, 2019, 05:59:59 PM »

I woke up at 6:00 am to the Blues scoring a freak goal.

I've been sick to my stomach all day. I could barely eat dinner.

I'm having trouble seeing the Blues lose. They bring that sick girl all the way out here, not that there's not like a half dozen hospitals in Boston filled with sick kids, but I think the Blues will go through the wall for her.

And a bunch of people going to Busch stadium? That's crazy!

TAC · « **Reply #1553 on:** June 12, 2019, 06:16:10 PM »

Both 4th lines starting the game. As expected.

TAC · « **Reply #1554 on:** June 12, 2019, 06:38:27 PM »

Talk about dominate and down 2-0? This will be Everest like with the way the Blues play defensively.

Only Emrick makes a hockey game should like a horse race.

Bruins are not playing desperate enough in the 2nd. That goal at the end of the first was a killer.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1564 on:** June 12, 2019, 07:40:50 PM »

Hey Gary and Kev. Take a breath. You can post. Your team is playing the perfect away game right now.

TAC · « **Reply #1565 on:** June 12, 2019, 08:13:41 PM »

I have already changed the channel to the MLB Network, where you'll find me for the next 4 months.

Congrats Gary and Kev and St. Louis.

Against any other team but the Bruins, I would've been rooting for the Blues.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1566 on:** June 12, 2019, 08:24:49 PM »

3-0.

Game over. Congrats Gary and Kev. Defensively the Blues were amazing. Binnington was amazing tonight. Enjoy the thrill of winning the cup. You guys deserve it.

Anguyen92 · « **Reply #1567 on:** June 12, 2019, 08:26:05 PM »

Jebus, almost 13 minutes in the 3rd and no TV timeout yet for the period.

Edit: Oh finally.

Edit x2: All right, now I think the Blues fans can breathe easy.

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #1568 on:** June 12, 2019, 08:32:16 PM »

4-0 Blues. Lord Stanley's Cup is headed to St. Louis!

Wow, it actually happened! I wasn't sure I'd ever live to see this day. The Bruins are a very special team and capable of miraculous comebacks and so I wasn't able to relax until that 4th goal. I think I'll be watching videos of celebrations throughout St. Louis all night long and pretending I'm there
