Game 4 - Bruins @ Blues
- Thread starter TFP
- Start date
Unless of course that means Kampfer trying to clean up mistakes made by Senyshyn and Kuhlman.
You should be about a 10 minute walk away from a restaurant that has some great Mediterranean/ Israeli food, Dobrumba. I think about their Shakshuka often.Can't be a coincidence that I'm staying adjacent to 52 block of Király St.
And one of the four came after a botched offsides challenge. And never mind the last one came when the game was 6-2.
Any doubters left?
Because all of you can get the fuck out if you don't trust this team after they've bounced back from every single situation in which people have labeled them down and out this season.
12 hours and 16 minutes until gametime.
Warm up the fucking bus, we're coming back to Boston with a chance to win the Cup.

Opening night for my baseball league tonight. Whoever was in charge of the schedule put us up against the Bs at 8:30. Oh wait, that shit head scheduler was me. I'll be listening from the bench.
The players should not look ahead. One shift at a time; one game at a time.
I am not a player. It matters not where I look or what I do. And I’m looking ahead.
Win this fucking game and then destroy them in game 5, so we can see this incredible Bruins team embrace that Cup on home ice.

Ha, my men's league basically cancelled all the games on Thursday on account that nobody is actually going to want to play.
I said at the start of the series that as long as the Bruins play their game St. Louis can’t touch them. They did that in G1 and G3. Did not do that in G2. Let them take cheap shots. We’ll take the power play and get the best revenge by putting the puck in the back of the net. Can’t wait for tonight. I’m traveling again but since the game is on NBC I’ll actually be able to watch it in my hotel.
IS he mad they aren't calling more of the goonery hits? Or that they understand the offsides rule better than he does?

"It’s true that the Blues averaged under three penalties a game in the first three rounds of the playoffs, before being whistled at least five times in every game of this series. But the discrepancy is also relatively easy to explain by how they match up with Boston. The Bruins are faster and more skilled, and St. Louis’s gameplan for this series was specifically to try to slow them down by being physical. That means forechecking, and finishing checks, and putting bodies on bodies in the neutral zone, and sometimes it works, as it did as Game 2 went along, but more often in this series it’s drawn whistles. There’s a fine line between physicality and infraction, and the Blues’ obvious frustrations with Boston skating circles around them has generally put them on the wrong side of that line.
Berube admitted as much.
…
His point is not to imply some sort of NHL conspiracy against the Blues. It’s to make tonight’s officials think twice on borderline calls, and to whip up the home crowd to react—and there’s a whole host of research indicating that crowd noise is the single largest influencer of officials.
More than anything, Berube wants the officials to act more like the stereotypical zebras who swallow their whistles in the finals. Of course he does; “letting them play” would benefit the bruising Blues, and punish the Bruins, whose 35.9 percent postseason power play is the second-best mark of all time (with at least 15 games). There are only a few games left, so it’s now or never for Berube’s gamesmanship."

I have zero doubt this will work. Whenever a coach calls out the officials like this it always feels like the next game a bunch of shit is let go. Bruins need to score early and win the 5 on 5.
I can’t stop thinking about that Schenn near decapitation of Pasta and that those assholes are going to effin kill someone if they have to to get the advantage, especially if they get behind. As much as it would make me squirm, I hope the Bs win 1-0 on a last second goal.
Awesome. But he was just asking that question as a dutiful reporter, he didn't really mean it right?
Just saw this video and apologies if it was previously posted. But I figured everyone would enjoy it.

I am feeling like Jake DeBrusk is going to be mentioned quite a bit in game 4.
Thanks - checking this out tomorrow, just finished up at a spot called Regős Vendéglő that had some unreal schnitzel.
Now going to pregame with a triple Jameson so I can sleep for ~4.5 hours before puck drop
Belvárosi Disznótoros serves some great traditional Hungarian food if you have time.

Prediction:
STL jumps out early lead on some questionable play (bad call / dirty play).
Rask settles in and doesn't allow another goal.
Boston gets two late (late 2nd or in the 3rd) to lock in a close, hard fought win.
At least one Bruin is knocked out of the game due to shady play.

Go the fuck at them, under them, over them through them, and around them.
This Blues club is fucking annoying, and I’m good if I never hear again Doc shooting his pants because Tarasenko shoots a puck in the general vicinity of the net.

Where's that gif of the high school kids falling about when you need it? Goddamn.
Looks like I will be far from a TV or regular computer during the game tonight. What's my best option for viewing on my phone?
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Vince Dunn back in the line-up. Bortuzzo out. Sanford stays, will play on first line. Fabbri out.

Doc has been measured compared to the rest of the team. I’d rather listen to announcers from wherever psk is than listen to Eddie O say inane things like he was a Web 1.0 moron soundboard.
Oh no disagreement there. If Eddie O was tasked with PBP we’d be watching these games on mute or, if accessible, a Canadian feed.
