Pro sports is becoming predictable and boring
Ignore that crap.I have cut myself off from the media until after the game
None of it matters.
Either we play our A game tomorrow, or we don’t.

Cant predict any of this. One team will win. My nerves will get a break close to this time tomorrow (unless there is OT in which case I am worse off) and on Thursday I am either planning my trip to STL for the parade or I am trying to forget about hockey for about 3 months before I start to wonder how long it will be before the Blues get that far again and if it will be in my lifetime.
lol where can i get 1 of those shirts ? ... its awesome

After all that work you've done in the playoff hopes thread, I'll have the confidence for the both of us. I'm still getting used to taking my kid to daycare, I can't imagine how dropping them off for the marines feels. Good luck with your life adventures!I'll back us to the bitter end, but folks ... I'm not feeling it tonight.
Now, I also didnt feel it in Game 5 and look how that turnes out. I'm also trying to change jobs, do thank you notes from an interview yesterday, sent my 18-year old off to thr Marines yesterday, deal with Mrs. Mud's anguish over that, work through the growing ****storm that is my department's work environment, and get focused for (hopefully) the next-to-last exam of my actuarial career that I'll take in October.
So, I might be a little distracted and that might be screwing up my gut feeling. Either way, let's hope this team comes out with effort we haven't seen the last 2 games and removes all hope from Bruins players and all doubt from the Blues haters out there.
I don't care how we ****ing do it, let's go win the Cup tonight and prove my gut feeling wrong in the most epic manner.
You never know.
It’s been a heck of a ride.
That game 7 against Dallas was all us vs Bishop.
Benn puts that puck an inch over on the wrap around and we wouldn’t be here. People forget there is a great deal of puck luck in this.

Well I hope you can manage one final update to this thread after the game, updating the Blues road to the Stanley Cup. 1 game left to go.I'll back us to the bitter end, but folks ... I'm not feeling it tonight.

In the pics of them skating today and yesterday, I see a lot of smiles on the players facesWell I hope you can manage one final update to this thread after the game, updating the Blues road to the Stanley Cup. 1 game left to go.
I also don't have a great feeling about tonight's game, but I had a great feeling about Game 6.
I'm taking a lot of comfort in Berube's casual smiling response to questions about how the team felt going back to Boston for Game 7. He looked legitimately happy. If the team feel that way, they're not going to go into the game doubting their chances.
Dammit, I can't believe it all comes down to one game.
Nobody forgets this part of it. This is exactly why the Blues MUST WIN tonight, because even if next year the Blues morph into a better version of this year's Lightning squad, there are no guarantees that they'll be able to survive three rounds of randomness to get back to the Finals. If every series they enter, they have a 60% chance of winning, that's still only a 13% chance of winning a Cup with only a ~ 22% chance of making it back to the Final. Those are daunting figures; and that doesn't even consider injuries along the way, horrible officiating, red-hot goaltending from an opponent or just plain bad luck.
And with the short-offseason they're already guaranteed, the chances of getting back to this point next year are even smaller.
I'd like to think that teams are able to maintain consistency from year to year, and charge their way through the playoff bracket year-in and year-out like those Islanders, Oilers & Canadiens teams of yesteryear...but the Cap era has proven that just doesn't happen. Blues may be able to fight their way back to the Final in the coming seasons...but it's unlikely simply because of math. Then you've got to look at teams like Colorado and Chicago who have quietly been restocking the cupboard and picking up more high picks this year, and wonder if the Blues have enough to hold off their foes in the short-term.
Let's just make that a moot point and win the goddamn Cup now, thank you.
Well what Rub off means?
Just ignore this stuff.Holy Boston Beans!
He said the Blues “disgust” him.
That’s kinda weird.
Video about it?I really appreciate Sharp. He was thrown a question by Kathryn Tappen trying to draw parallels to the Blues' game 7 win to one of Chicago's Cups wins. His response, "Yeah, we had a game 7, but this isn't about the Hawks. This is about the Blues right now, and they just won the Stanley Cup."
Over the course of this playoffs he's become my favorite hockey TV personality. He's genuine, has good comments, and has had a better pulse on this Blues team than anyone else I listened to.
No. It occurred in the postgame analysis on NHL Network (or maybe NBCSN).Video about it?
