Justin is hilarious, but I can see how he may have offended the sensibilities of some of the pearl-clutchers at the watch party.

I’m guessing that he was screaming things like “Fuck Boston” and some other choice phrases, and someone complained to security.

Our group of friends is loving the notoriety that has suddenly come his way. It’s so perfectly Justin—I’d bet that getting internet famous for being arrested at a Blues Stanley Cup party is pretty much his greatest dream.

I'll watch the celebration a while longer, make a few more posts, and then put a tuque over my eyes and sleep till noon. I work at home until Saturday, when I teach a storyboarding class. Luckily, I work mostly at home, so, I can watch ALL The Blues' game, most of which run from 2:00 AM to 4:40 or so.

Does it even get dark in northwest Denmark on June 13?

insideout wrote: Mon Jun 17, 2019 9:18 am Very cool stat (I think): The Blues split the first four game in every series (going 8-8 in those games) and then dominated every series after that. In the so-called "if necessary" games (5, 6 and 7), they were 8-2. I believe those 8 "if necessary" game wins is an NHL record. I did some digging, and it appears that no other team in NHL history has done this.

And as I mentioned in an earlier post, they also got better as each game went along. Here are the Blues' final goal differentials by period for the 2019 post season:
1st: - 2
2nd: - 3
3rd: + 12 (not counting empty netters)

I don't know how the period splits compare to other teams and other years, but I've got to believe these numbers are unique as well.

And you didnt think Checketts would ever bring a cup to St. Louis.

Not much. It goes to a dark "dusk" at about 1:00 AM, and The Sun comes up over the horizon at about 3:00. I can sleep during those 2 hours, without the light passing through my tuque over my eyes, and bothering me. But, I generally need complete darkness to sleep well (which I get for some hours down in Munich, and even as far north as my sister's house in Greater Winnipeg, and my homes in northern Noord Holland, but not in my home in Denmark, or at my co-workers' houses in Sweden, or Norway.

In my travels to Scandinavia I have found that room-darkening blinds are quite popular.

Love the ref saying "backhand roof in game 7, doesn't get much better than that" to Petro. Also, Chara just all class in the handshake line, how could you not like the guy.
