They should've blown the game they were leading with a chance to go up 2-1 in the series instead of the next game when they were down 2-1 in the series. Probably should've just snapped Kadri's stick and stabbed him with it right after Rosen knocked him into Binnington. The Avs PP is pretty good, but the refs might not make the call since there's little precedent for on ice murder after the 04-05 lockout.
RACIST!!!

...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

NO! NO! NO! It looked much better for The Blues when they had won more games against The Stanley Cup winners than ANY other team they faced in The Playoffs. IF Tampa Bay wins The Cup, The Blues can't say they played better against The Cup winners than any other team. Now that The Lightning has won 2 games against them, we have to hope The Avs win the next game, so we can at least say that The Blues did just as well as the previous 2-time Cup winner against the eventual Cup winner.

The more competitive The Blues seem to be, the better for their reputation as a winning organisation, and ability to attract the best choice of players in free agency, and to be with the exceptions in no-trade clauses, and to keep our own veteran players from jumping to other teams, and for getting a better choice of coaches and management personnel to want to work for The Blues.

I don't care. I want to see Avs fans miserable and sad.

Ultimately for Tampa to win game seven... that would be the best outcome

Give Tampa credit. They ain’t fuckn around. They’re letting Makar and MacKinnon have their ice and they’re exchanging rushes and going toe to toe with them. Fuck playing a 1-4, we’re the Tampa Bay Lightning and we’re going to fuck you up. Not saying it’s going to happen, but that’s their attitude. They’re not going down without a fight and they’re more than willing to skate toe to toe with these guys. Some stretches of the action last night was entertaining as heck.

Still pisses you off but what can you do? In 19 Blues had good health. It’s hard to win a Cup. You need luck too.

And that's when the wheels fell off the fragile psyche of the 2021-22 Blues. Otherworldly teams (if such an animal exists) find a way to win with the cards they're dealt, they don't fold & make excuses. This goes for fans, too.

It’s the Blues fault. They didn’t take a stand from the beginning and instead they let Kadri get in their heads. If they fucked him up in the beginning like they should have, then everything might of been a different. End of story, play hockey. Instead, they did nothing and it was in their heads in Game 4 and they got tooled. Blues fucked themselves.
Totally agree. Also, massive props for being the first time i’ve ever seen someone use “would of” and “should have” in the same paragraph. You’re so close.

Makar has won the Hobey Baker, the Calder, the Norris, the Conn Smythe, the Stanley Cup - and isn’t even 24 years old. Holy fuck is this kid good.

I watched the third and the aftermath last night. I’ll say the same thing I said before in this thread - Tampa looked like a different class of team. Like, not even close. Looked like they had no will to win, no legs, no desire to compete, etc. They were waiting for the puck to come to them rather than going to get it. this year’s Avs has to be the most tenacious fore- and back-checking team i’ve ever seen. They are almost always first to the puck, and not just one of them - seemingly all of them at once due to their speed. So hard to believe that 5 years ago they were setting records for the worst NHL team ever. But i guess that gets you some high picks, eh? Like Makar.
