I don't see what pasco saying to be unreasonable.
The first 2 periods were even. The Bruins destroy the Blues when they are on the PP. The Blues PP is dogshit, too.
Third period was unfortunate and involved 1 weak/flukely goal, but that doesn't mean the Blues are running on sunshine and rainbows. They
can win in Boston Wednesday, doesn't mean they will.

I hope you're right, but they're going to have to change some things up in order to do that. They can't play a small/fast-player's game and hope to have legs in the 3rd. And Boston knows it, that's why Boston let's them wear themselves out for the first 30 minutes of play.
Hard shots, right at goal, climbing the ladder, hitting shins/chests/arms with rocket shots if they dare stay in the way - and God help them if they turn their backs - is a must. And if we can get them to start turning their backs to block rocket shots, that's a plus for us (especially if you send a few high ones early in the first... THAT will open opportunities for later fakes.

They're not winning on the road in a major media market. Especially since Binnington has finally regressed to the mean.

Same shit; different year.
My question mostly pertains to your latest post, bumping a thread to restate your opinion for the 14th time without being prompted ..... but, what's the point of this?
Possibilities that I've come up with...
- You've never watched sports before.
- For some reason, you want people to believe you've never watched sports before.
- Some sort of dumb reverse mojo thing, where you think your hockey posts on a football board will somehow impact game 7.
- You're in the middle of a nervous breakdown because the Blues are still one win away from winning the Cup, and you're desperately trying to lower your expectations by typing all of this out for the next two days.
- You've firmly held onto the opinion since January that the Blues are frauds, and after saying it so for this long and through all of the winning and blind homers, the only thing left is to double down so you can tell everyone that you were right all along.
- You're actually a fan of the Chicago Blackhawks and have a lot more free time these days.
