Never thought I'd be making a Stanley Cup Final game day thread but here we are, the first ever in history.

Practice lines: Can't wait to see which one becomes the hero and lives in St Louis Blues lore forever.

It's here. 3 free passes 49-51 years ago not withstanding, it is here for the first time, a chance to play for the Cup. Along the way we've all been punched in the gut, slapped in the face and kicked in the balls. Year after year we've been background noise in somebody else's story. Our band of heroes dispatched of easily by villains from another city. In the real world the bad guys usually win. A few heartwarming stories notwithstanding, we've finally found the group willing to quit monologueing and kill the good guy. Take their knives, stab them in the eye through to the brain, the boss said. It took a while, but the lesson has been taken to heart. Now, we meet a new group of heroes from Boston. They come complete with an old grizzled giant, a mischievous little rat, the perfect hockey player, and a dear old friend. Stab them in the brain and they'll fall all the same.

Unsheath you daggers, boys. The final battle starts tonight.

If we are mark'd to die, we are enough

Part of me still cannot believe it, but I am totally enjoying this moment of time. This my friends is what we have all been waiting for, most of us a lifetime, others have waited since the last meeting with the Bruins 49 years ago. I am excited for the puck to drop tonight, but at the same time, I want to savor and enjoy every single minute of the coverage, the game, and if this truly is our year of destiny, the celebration of four more wins and a trip to St. Louis to see the parade.

Let's GO BLUES!!!

I keep not believing today is actually here. We get to watch our Blues in the Stanley Cup Final. Let’s fucking go!

Here we go!

The Cinderella St. Louis Blues are the underdogs to the Big Bad Boston Bruins in the eyes of the hockey world, so the Blues have nothing to fear and nothing to lose.

The best hockey is always saved for late May/early June when only two teams remain in the battle. And today my friends, is a great day to play hockey!

LET'S GO BLUES!!!

FUCK THE BRUINS

FUCK MARCHAND

LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE THE BETTER TEAM

KNOCK EM ON THEIR ASS, BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THEM, MAKE THEM FEEL IT, AND WIN THE GAME


That's all I want ----- Thank you

Let's Go Blues!!!

Side note: I passed the FAA Certified Flight Instructor checkride boys! I am a flight instructor. And I got hired by Rocky Mountain Flight School in Colorado. It's fate. It's destiny. Just need the boys to put the cherry on top.

Don't let Borgston assimilate another championship!!!

PS: TC, sorry didn't see DPW's GDT...can you merge his and Dave's?

Let's GO BLUES!!!

It still seems unreal.
Hoping that somehow, this dream I've been carrying for so many years, might actually come true.

Congratulations!!!!

Hard to believe it’s finally here ....goddamn it’s been a long time coming. Oddly enough I’m not nervous or excited...it’s just another game. Lets win 4 more of them.

You’re not excited? Can’t relate.

Don't train any students from Saudi Arabia how to fly.

Seems like just another game to me....taking the Berube approach. I'm sure as the pregame stuff kicks in, it will seem more real.

Official.

I think he will be good to go by game 3. Blues lose tonight, we might see him for game 2 but I've thought all along it will be game 3.

I guess we need to ask Robb K or Turk what life on Earth was like before GDTs. I imagine it was a very scary place ... like The Asylum.
