Now a first round loss doesn't sting as much knowing we lost to the eventual cup champs. Congrats and see you next season

As Blues fans, we certainly can relate. Thanks.

I have no idea what to expect from him moving forward, but I don't think enough is being said about what Binnington accomplished this postseason.

He had some rough games this postseason, some of them in pretty critical games, and he it would have been so easy for him to get down on himself and/or fold under that pressure.

Instead, he bounced back.

Every

Single

Time

Every game this postseason (hell, every game this season) where he gave up more than 3 goals, he responded by giving up 2 or less the next game.

That's incredible, and I think it played a huge part in the Blues being able to shrug off some real stinker games and move forward. They just never let any real negative momentum start to build and then snowball on them, no matter how crappy the circumstances.

None of this happens without him stepping up and providing that resilience.

Totally agreed. His numbers were nothing special but damn did he ever come up big when we needed him. And that’s the mark of a cup winning goalie. He bent but never broke.

Is there video where you can see Marchand crying?

At this point, BA’s drafting philosophy on goalies should be to just draft guys who you wouldn’t be surprised to hear are serial killers. Those always calm types that don’t talk and feel as though they can pear right at your beating heart.

I never thought a Colaiacovo gif could top the one we all know and love, but this one does. Legend.

 

[ledzeppelinfan1]

Wow is all I can say.

Sticky this thread and leave it there for f***ing ever.

Let's enjoy the summer and binge on all the media we can find of our glorious triumphant deliverance from 'the curse' and into Lord Stanley's sweet and loving embrace.

Now I can get back to losing weight. Think all the playoff celebrations put about 10 pounds on me lol

 

[Blanick]

You know what I just realized?

For this game I made 4 GDTs. HFBruins made 1. We won the game 4-1.

This raises two questions.

#1. Am I a wizard?
#2. Does this mean I have to make 4 GDTs for every game next year...

Same here. I've been drunk 3-5 days a week for 2 months. Diet habits suffer, energy levels suffer (leading to stimulant overuse), sleep levels suffer, and stress overload leads to hypertension and inflammation.

f*** YEAH! LET'S PARTY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND THEN GET HEALTHY NEXT WEEK!

BLUES ARE THE CHAMPS!

Can someone edit this to have the face from the gif?

 

[fishsandwichpatrol]

I have a very delayed reaction to emotion. At some point it will hit me and I'll be a wreck.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

I still cannot believe we did it. I don't ever want this feeling to end.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I don’t wannabe that guy but I def called bo getting the cup from petro... but I also got everyone after that wrong!!!!

Nobody had Thorburn getting it before most of the guys who suited up last night.

Agree 100%, I got emotional when I saw Binner raise the cup. Of everyone on the team possibly his dreams of winning it were the farthest away at the beginning of the season. He is now the only rookie goaltender to win all 16 playoff games to the Cup. It may never happen again. Unbelievable!

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I was unnecessarily harsh when informing Blues fans that their team could not win the Cup. My apologies.

I was also... completely wrong!

Congratulations to the Blues, and their fans!

I think your comments were viewed as a triviality by Blues fans. I wouldn’t worry about it.

I keep remembering that interview during the winning streak, where he said, “I always felt I was destined to do something great.”

That, and emailing Doug Armstrong to say, “I’m ready.”

Thanks pal. Thats usually how I feel about it.

Unless its the Hawks.

I think teammates were careful in media comments to be respectful to Allen (and that they genuinely like him), but there were some postgame comments about the confidence Binnington gave the team and that it was evident immediately that he had ‘it’. I think the players certainly give him a lot of credit and praise. He sure stood tall last night. That was a championship performance for the ages.

 

[SaintLouHaintBlue]

After watching some of Boston post game interviews - I can honestly say I could almost bring myself to feel bad for Marchand, if it wasn't for the damn way he played the game.
In reality, he's a hell of a player. But why not show some sportsmanship and play the game in a way that respects other players?

It's one thing to compete hard (and even play on the edge), it's quite another to play like a complete jagoff.

Maybe he learns his lesson or something from all of this

I also have few new ideas I am toying with. Even yes a Ghostbusters themed one just for you @Ranksu

I'm still waiting 'that' Ghostbuster GDT.

The sheer contrast between Allen's slumps and Binnington's bounce backs are night and day.

Binnington absolutely stole the first period last night. If he doesn't play out of his mind there, we don't leave the 1st with a lead...

ROR was huge this post season, but I feel Binnington was easily the runner up for the Conn Smythe honours.

Could anyone from St. Louis mail me a copy of the PD? I’ll pay for everything of course. PM me.

I need it framed on my wall.
