    I’m just numb. And I have this sinking feeling that was the core group’s last kick at the can. Based on the long grind of an NHL season, and now a short off season, odds of them being a contender next season are not high. We can look at recent examples of the Pens, Caps, Black Hawks and Kings...

    That’s awesome, man. You’ll have another lifetime memory, and hopefully a positive one. I’ve never forgotten the thrill of seeing the Stanley Cup presented live, back in ‘78 at the old Garden. Even though the Habs had their 70’s dynasty going, it was just inspiring to see that trophy in person.

    Steve, you're absolutely right. The entire top line, by and large, has been M.I.A. You can't win games by scoring 1 goal. As far as the head shot goes, another Blues player (forget which one) has a hearing for that with the league today. It's been an almost endless parade of questionable...

    After 2 apologies by the league for the debacle that has been playoff officiating, might as well go for the hat trick after that embarrassment in Boston last night.

    Statement game 3. Nice effort by Boston, especially being mostly disciplined when the Blues were the complete opposite. I'd like to see this wrap up in Boston before game 7. We all know that kind of physicality will take its toll over a long series.

    Crappy Bruins effort for game 2. Blues dominated them in just about every area. I’d like to send out an APB for the whereabouts of Pasta and Marchand. Both have been MIA lately.

    Tired of all the whiners on social media already, chirping that Krug's hit was 'a vicious hit.' It was no such thing, and they conveniently fail to mention the mugging he got about a minute earlier.

    Uh oh, somebody’s got some explaining to do: Capitals' Kuznetsov denies cocaine use after leaked video

    And yet another controversial play determined a game last night in St. Louis. How all 4 on ice officials don’t see a hand pass, or a puck going into the netting above the glass, is almost inconceivable. Almost. There really needs to be some serious discussions in the off season about what is...

    I went to bed after the second per. Sometimes I feel like I’m a bad luck charm for them, as they often lose when I’m watching. Was pleasantly surprised this morning, and of course, watched the highlights. Nothing in that 2nd period gave me any positive vibe.

    Relieved, if nothing else. My nerves couldn't take another ending like game 5. Bring on the Whalers!

    My heart and nerves can’t take too many more blown lead games like last night. And wow does Chara look worn out.

    Most of them, especially that top line, redeemed themselves last night. But Marchand is still one of the biggest idiots in the league. And that game should have been a shut out for Rask.

    What's worse than the top line not scoring? Not scoring, and taking stupid penalties. Plus they're running into a hot goalie. 5 games, 6 tops. Fire Sweeney. Yesterday.
