2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

I figured I was the only guy watching -- the intensity through and following that power play was insane.

. . . and Boston scores short-handed.  Furk.  That's the kind of letdown that can cost you the Cup.

3-2. Big goal. Lots of hockey left though.

[tbone_ 14147]

Well that’s that

What is the significance of playing “Take me Home, Country Roads”to a bunch of midwest living St. Louis fans? Why do they get so jazzed up over it?

Or "Gloria" after a Win. Guess it's just their thing.

[Captain Ron 12894]

Gloria was due to the players, I didn't know the story, but its outlined here:

Quote

"Gloria," it turns out, came to the Blues by way of Jacks NYB, a bar in South Philadelphia where a group of Blues players went to watch the Eagles-Bears playoff game on Jan. 6. According to Blues forward Robby Fabbri, one patron kept yelling "Play Gloria!" during commerical breaks to request Branigan's 1982 hit. The DJ obliged, the bar went wild, and Fabbri and his teammates hatched an idea.

They also talk about Country Roads in the article too.

Interesting.  Thanks for posting.  The "Gloria" part is actually pretty cool now with the backstory.  Country Roads though a forced "tradition".

Good game last night. I really thought STL would wilt after giving up that shorty when they had all the momentum but impressive performance.   Hoping they can pull it out.

I’m not sure how many of y’all follow barstool sports, but they were in St. Louis last night. I always enjoy when Dave Portnoy has to eat a humble pie, but this fan is a pussy for not owning up to it. 

 

 

obviously joking, but still funny nonetheless. He’s right about St. Louis being a borderline worthless city though.

CBS Sports reporting that Chara has a broken jaw and is probably out for the rest of the finals.

Fuck Dave Portnoy

[Captain Ron 12894]

Fuck Dave Portnoy. If he's gonna bitch about a towel to the head (and call it assault, LOL), he needs to go back to his gynecologist for some prescription strength midol.

Edited June 5, 2019 by Captain Ron

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Lol guys he’s clearly joking. It’s a bit.

But yes, fuck Dave Portnoy. He’s definitely not the reason I follow barstool, other than the fact that it’s his company. They have good/funny content

[jimmyjazz 46097]

That wasn't a bit.  He's a huge pussy.

This game 5 is, as expected, insanity.

[Blotto 23568]

wow

I was talking about the initial reaction to getting bitch-slapped by a golf towel.

[cactusflinthead 27601]

That clanged loud

[Skipper 6192]

Rooting for the Blues here but that's the kind of bullshit the Blues got away with repeatedly in our series.  Lucky fucks.

[C-Man 27254]

Holy shit — STL again benefits when a player is hurt on the ice and they score a goal. This time it should’ve been a GD penalty against the Blues. I’d be furious if I was a Bruins fan.

[Captain Ron 12894]

Refs did miss that one, no question.

[cactusflinthead 27601]

 

[Skipper 6192]

This should get fun last 6 mins

[jimmyjazz 46097]

No doubt Bozak got away with one.  Shit happens.  Boston fans suck ass.  Fuck 'em.

[Captain Ron 12894]

Blues have missed some chances to maybe ice this game away.

It's a toss up between Boston Sports Fan, Philly Sports Fan, and Ohio State Sports fan for shittiest fan.  F them indeed.

[Captain Ron 12894]

WOW!!!

[cactusflinthead 27601]

Oh it got real quiet. 

[Skipper 6192]

Intense!  Would hate to be a St. Louis fan walking out of that arena tonight.  God Speed.

[jimmyjazz 46097]

I was alive when the Blues made the Cup Finals 3 years running but I don't remember it.  I'm not a huge hockey fan, but I have a lot of friends who are.  They're currently blind drunk and texting me things like "fJck yes g Bluse!!!"

[BrickHorn 18277]

Fjck yes g Bluse!!!

[Captain Ron 12894]

Fjck yes g Bluse!!!

[cactusflinthead 27601]

And it entered the vernacular. 

[cactusflinthead 27601]

 

[Captain Ron 12894]

Keep being you Bruins fans

 

 

[jimmyjazz 46097]

Is that a woman screaming in the background?

Funny how they all look Irish.

[cactusflinthead 27601]

All right let's get it going 

[jimmyjazz 46097]

DirecTV dropped out because of TORNADOES LIGHTNING RAIN SQUIRRELS

Found the live stream, did I miss anything?

[jimmyjazz 46097]

Shit.  Just saw the 5 on 3 goal.

[InkaUtexas 26072]

Fuck yes! 

[cactusflinthead 27601]

Fucking Marchand

[BrickHorn 18277]

Schenn is an idiot.  That hit was unnecessary and led to a goal.  Outside of that power play, the Blues have outplayed Boston.  

[jimmyjazz 46097]

Did they call the trip delayed or something else?  My feed keeps dropping.

[BrickHorn 18277]

Marchand of course with the dirty play

[jimmyjazz 46097]

Seems like Boston has a half stride on the Blues every possession.  Doesn't feel good.

Are we watching the same game?  Blues are playing their brand of hockey, and Boston’s settling for counterpunching.

Man, that shot B blocked was a gimme.  I don't know, I just have a bad feeling.  I hope you're right -- this isn't my main sport, although I've followed them forever.

[jimmyjazz 46097]

Good lord, how many shots have to fall just short?
