Missed calls don't bother me much when they go against Boston.

Hope like hell St Louis is mentally up to the task tonight but I've got my doubts

Everything just feels like the Blues are gonna get killed tonight. Looked tight at home in Game 6 and got blown out in an elimination game, local papers released headlines that they had won, David Ortiz with a bullet wound juiced the crowd beforehand...hope I come back and laugh about how wrong this post was.

Can't complain about 50% shooting....but worry like hell about 4 shots.

Looking like you're going to be laughing. Boston looks defeated.

They're really playing well, honestly. Hockey Gods pulling for STL through 40. Lets hope it stays that way.

Bennington playing for a major contract right now. He is an rfa. Wonder how much he will be making after this postseason

Weird series. Blues are going to win the Cup winning 3 games on the road.

And just think how bad they started the season

I mean congrats to the Blues but holy cow talk about laying an egg by Boston. Game 7 at home and this is the best you can do? Wow, really glad I'm not a Bruins fan right now.

Also, NHL can't be happy for this dud of a Game 7.

Go Blues!!!

 

[golfballs]

was hoping this game would come down to the wire, but happy w the outcome regardless

 

[golfballs]

Bruins have literally and figuratively whiffed in this one. Sad!

Probably a bridge deal, assuming they trade Allen. He won't get an offer sheet so I'd say 2 years, 11 million, unless STL is buying high then maybe 7/53 or so. Goalies are shaky investments.

Really really odd. Both Game 6 and Game 7 were duds that involved the home team laying a huge egg in an elimination game.

Missouri is still a s****y state.

Still glad they won rather than Boston

I live here now. lol. ill try my best to make it better. my wife is from Missouri. she was cheering on the Blues last night. I think she started liking hockey watching last nights game. thats a plus. I am a Preds fan. I am afraid she became a Blues fan last night. I don't care. But there is only one college team to cheer on in this household though.

The parade was freaking epic. I saw a zamboni roll down Market Street! The players were having a total blast. Great for the city.

Outside of the progressive left elitists in the upper middle class parts of St. Louis and St. Louis County, I find Missouri and Missourians to be an awful lot like Tennesseans in the things they value and hold true. Missouri is a fine state with a great sense of patriotism. I would prefer to live in Tennessee, but professional opportunities have never opened up there. I raised three kiddos in Missouri and have no regrets at all.

Game seven was the most watched NHL game on record. Series was third all time. I don't think they're too upset.

Bruins-Blues Game 7 was most-watched NHL game on record - The Boston Globe

Can't complain about Trouba for a song.

Give them their pick back plus Pionk, who's fun but really at best a 4-5 on a decent team.
