Stanley Cup Finals Game 1
Totally down to jam “Gloria”.
Go BLUES!
Boston has had enough championships.
I am watching - one of few Bruins fans around here (grew up on NHL Video games in the 80's/early 90's and had to choose a team since Indy has none). It's my only geographically dubious fan choice, but it has been consistent since childhood.
This game is living up to the pre series hype thus far.
Enjoy sports fans!
NHL is a men's league.
Very conflicted.
As a Red Wings fan, can't stand the Blues because they really hated us when we were in the Western Conf. I've been anti Blues all season. Now they're playing a city whose fans I dislike even more.
For now, I'm rooting against the Bruins More than anything else.
Brad Marchand has the most punchable face since Denzel Valentine
I didn't get to see much, outside the last 10 but I can't describe how much I detest coaches pulling their goalie with 2+ minutes in recent years. Let it play out a little longer, get to 90, 75 seconds and then pull them.
Yeah, but if you watched more than that you would have seen the Blues tally about 5 shots on goal over the preceding period-and-a-half. They weren’t generating anything even strength (and they only had two power plays all game, despite Boston committing a lot of interference).
You’re exactly right. I have no idea what the flow was like, how the game played out until the 50 minute mark. I’m more annoyed about the trend than this specific game/instance.
I think in general that goalies are getting the hook slightly shorter than they should.
Boston sucks.
Toasted ravioli rules.
Provel cheese, though. Unconscionable.
They'll also serve it with mozzarella if you ask.
Plus gooey butter cake.
And Ted Drewes frozen custard.
Shouldn't have to request mozzarella on a pizza.
Emo's is nasty.
Provel is an abomination.
There is nothing special about Ted Drewes.
Let's Go Blues!
(I lived in STL for a couple years.)
Imo's* is awesome, Ted Drewes isnt special, provels good on certain things, and Travs 4 life.

Here's something special about Ted Drewes. It's Kosher. Ted's cardiologist is an Orthodox Jew and saved his life. (I don't know the details, but that's the story.) Ted asked the doctor what he could do for him. The doctor said, "Make your treats Kosher." Ted did. And now Orthodox Jews have someplace to go for frozen custard. And they do, in droves.
Other than not having received a blessing from a rabbi, what would make any custard not kosher?
My MGoWife pointed me to this article: https://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/211419/how-st-louis-got-its-kosher-custard It indicates that they simply needed rabbis to certify that the ingredients were Kosher. It also says that some toppings are not Kosher. And, yes, not everything they sell is Kosher. I don't know what makes some toppings Kosher and some non-Kosher.
The cardiologist is one of the most beloved people in St. Louis. I know. He's my cardiologist.
I'll root for the city that hasn't won the Cup yet.
Go Blues.
Final, not Finals...
I don’t have any true animosity for Boston teams. Not in the way that I do for OSU or MSU, and I’m also not from NY. I mean yeah some of their fans are obnoxious, but I might be too if my town had won six Super Bowls, four World Series, an NBA title and probably soon to be two Stanley Cups in just the last 20 years alone.
If Boston wins another Cup, it won’t really bother me. But I would really like to see a team win that’s never hoisted a cup before in its history. And the fact that Red played in St. Louis is an added incentive to root for them.
The Blues need Nelly and the St. Lunatics seated at the glass!
Tough living in metro Boston, we haven't had a championship parade since February! If it weren't for the selfish Celtics....! Hope the B's win, although have to admit, I watched about 1 period of hockey during the regular season and injured my back jumping onto the bandwagon around the time of the conference final. My youngest asked the wife; "can you take me to Dick's to get a shirt, I'm the only kid without anything Bruins!"
I thought they cancelled that since the Red Wings weren't in it.
