Were you not waxing poetic and extolling the virtues of home ice advantage in a final game of a series recently?Meltdown99 said:
And your point is? Boston had the momentum coming back. Played a good 1st and got behind by 1 and gave up a goal with 8 seconds left in period 1, that's a no-no and bigger no in a winner take all game (was that the goal Marchand may an untimely exit to the bench?)...once that 2nd one went in St. Louis had them...they get the lead, great goaltending, great defence...and it's laughable that you call them dirty...LMFA0Halifax2TheMax said:

Most NHL game 7, finals or not...the refs generally put whistle, same with the OT...and I can guarantee, as long as it is not a blatant penalty, the players have no problem with refs letting the players decide the game...and I thought the refs were excellent tonight.Halifax2TheMax said:
I watched the cup being hoisted and I could see a full stadium. People head for the exits all the time. Me? I’d stay. And for the record, the Bruins were totally outplayed and it was evident in the first 5 minutes. They sucked. Congrats to the blues as they played their game well. But?pjhawks said:

Are you serious that there was only one penalty in a game 7 and it’s a puck in the stands? Seriously? That’s bullshit. You either call 1 every game all series or you call it tight every game all series. Or, pre-game, the refs tell the locker room, play on. It’s the same in the NFL, NBA and NHL. MLB is tougher but it becomes the strike zone.

Well, Dude, that is why teams fight so hard to get home ice...it worked for 3 rounds for the Bruins. Might have worked in Game 7, except Marchand could not finish the final 10 seconds of his shift allowing Pietrangelo to walk right in, or was that a different Bruin.Halifax2TheMax said:

The Bruins outshot the blues 12-4 in the 1st and were still down 2-0. the Bruins outshot them 33-20 overall. The Bruins fell victim to great goaltending, and on the other end giving up 4 goals on 20 shots is no recipe for winning game 7. And there were numerous really good scoring chances for the Bruins in the 2nd and 3rd ... not as many as the 1st...they had chances. The Blues goalie showed to win a Stanley Cup...
A good recap here...

And the Bruins responded, dominating for long stretches of time except in the way that mattered most.The Blues had just one shot on goal heading into the final minutes of the first period, but they scored first when O'Reilly deflected a shot from Jay Bouwmeester into the net. Then with just 8 seconds left in the period and Bruins forward Brad Marchand tentative on a line change, Pietrangelo beat Rask to make it 2-0.Give Peas A Chance…0 -

That's about it. Bruins were better on the ice but Binnington was the best goalie. It always seems to come down to that, doesn't it? And watching Marchand with his weak ass stick poke and then skating off the ice as Blues scores was beautiful. Could not have happened to a nicer guy.Meltdown99 said:The Bruins outshot the blues 12-4 in the 1st and were still down 2-0. the Bruins outshot them 33-20 overall.

That stat generally tells us that the losing team's offense did their job, but that the goalie and defense didn't. And while that is somewhat true, it doesn't tell the entire story in this case. Most of the B's shots weren't really shots, meaning the potential scorer didn't really shoot the puck; they kind of just lobbed it at Binnington a lot. He barely had to move to make most of his 33 saves.Meltdown99 said:The Bruins outshot the blues 12-4 in the 1st and were still down 2-0. the Bruins outshot them 33-20 overall.

I wrote it here after the first: The B's should've put Halak in to start the second. He couldn't have done any worse than Rask, and it would've lit a fire under their defense to do better. Cassidy is a player's coach, though, so that wasn't going to happen.I SAW PEARL JAM0 -

The Marchand skating off is where the Bruins lost the game ... it is never good giving up late goals, even worse when you are a bonehead...I guess this loss will live with Marchand forever, he said...LOL...agreed could not happen to better guy.mrussel1 said:

Man, I saw some great saves by Binnington. I thought he played exceptional. I also thought the Blues defense played the best game of the series. They knocked down so many shots, protecting Binnington and allowing him to come up big at the right time. It was a great defensive effort all the way around by the Blues.dankind said:
