Siouxperfan7 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Whoever scores the first goal in game 7 wins the series. Blues just can't seem to come back when they get behind. It's amazing how many goals the Bruins are scoring in their wins. Once they get rolling, they are near impossible to stop. A 2 goal lead may be almost insurmountable for St Louis. Especially in Boston. Quote

Yes, I hate Boston, but I picked them to win it all before the playoffs even began. I took a field bet against Tampa Bay and picked Boston. The problem with your post is that you think the reffing has been one-sided and I disagree. I also agree with Berube that the calls have actually favored Boston in this series. Having said that, I don't think either side has a legitimate bitch about the officiating. Boston is more talented, clearly plays on edge more (Marchard is the dirtiest player in the NHL since Matt Cooke), but the difference will come down to goaltending. I thought St. Louis had the advantage with Binnington, but the difference so far has been Rask. 1 Quote
