2016 3WW Stanley Cup Challenge – All are welcome

Blues need to look on the bright side because after they lose game 5 and the series at home, they don't have a long plane ride home. What a terrible performance. I'm not even engaged at this point because I've got better things to do than waste three hours of my life watching a bunch of bushers out there getting their asses kicked in every puck battle.

I don't know if the two long previous series have worn them down or they're still hungover?

Been some tough games to watch for sure. Seems the blues and lightning are ready to get their golf clubs out and dusted off in prep for the off season.

Hey Joe, check these guys out. They both have teams in the semi-finals and it would seem they aren't happy I'll love to watch the Jets lose a semi-final game.

Blues are one win away from a tied series. Tampa just need to hold off till the end of the third period tonight. Man up guys, real fans cheer hard both ways!!!

Losing is one thing. Lethargic, uninspired, playing like they don't really care, is another. Sorry I can't sit with my pompoms in front of the TV and issue participation ribbons and atta' boys for just showing up. When the alarm goes off at 4:30 AM, I'm not losing sleep over that type of effort. If doing so gets my "real fan" card revoked, so be it.

Cheer up puddin, they didn't come this far to roll over and die. If Allen wants to be the starter for the finals he'll play well, you know he can. I expect them to lay the pain on the Sharks tonight.

We'll see. I think tonight is their season even if they still have one more to lose after this. Hitchcock will either be a genius or a moron after this game.

I normally wait till the end of the third to do this, but I think it's safe for an "I told you so" after 40 minutes.

Blues are the best team left of the four, they just need to play like it.

You were right. I honestly didn't think they had it in them after the lacklust first three games. I guess you're doing okay to have played three bad games and have the series tied at 2-2.

I didn't follow them this year prior to the playoffs, but I'm guessing to finish like they did they didn't have too many three game loosing streaks. Win or lose this series, they had a hell of a season.

They have to keep their foot on the gas. Jones is not Patrick Roy and showed how he handles sustained pressure. In games 2 and 3 he was able to stop everything, because every shot was from 40 feet away. When the Blues forecheck and control the puck behind the net, the Sharks and Jones didn't know how to react.

I think the Sharks had the reaction part down pretty well yesterday: Slam stick on ice, return to center ice, repeat

I was kinda bummed about this round till Tampa and St. Louis won their last games. Looks like Shitsburg will be turning to flower in game 5. Lucky for Tampa, this flower wilts in the spring. I heard on the radio this is the 1st time since 1980 that 8 different goalies have played in the 3rd round, that's crazy.

[Mr. Clean]

CRAZY game 5. Game tying goal in the last 3 minutes of regulation and game winning goal within the first minute of OT. Pens looked the better team thru most of the game. I questioned bringing in Fleury who had not started in 2 + months but played pretty well.

Game 6 is Tuesday, going to watch the other teams play tonight.

I will leave you with this pic from last night

Crazy ending indeed. Your Bolts are really playing good despite all the major injuries they've had.

I was pretty bummed to hear that my favorite professional wrestler Shawn Michaels was at the game yesterday. Glad he didn't bring them good luck
