    Stanley Cup Final Game 7 – St. Louis Blues v. Boston Bruins

    St. Louis Blues v. Boston Bruins

    Game 7 – Series Tied 3-3

     

    Game Recap:

    Going into Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Boston Bruins will look to win their first ever Final Game 7 at home while the St. Louis Blues will look to win their first ever Stanley Cup in their 52 year history. To start the game both teams would play with a very high tempo, but it would be the Blues getting the early jump, but the Bruins would generate some of the better scoring opportunities. Throughout the majority of the first period it would be the Bruins dominating on the shot counter, but late in the period it would be the Blues getting a strong shift from Ryan O’Reilly and Sammy Blais as they would force the play in the Bruins zone that would allow Jay Bouwmeester to get off the point shot that O’Reilly would deflect and go right through Tuukka Rask for the first goal of the game. Then with 7.9 seconds off of a bad line change by Brad Marchand, Alex Pietrangelo would go into the Bruins zone unattended and would receive a beautiful pass from Jaden Schwartz as he would drive the net and backhand it past Rask to give the Blues a 2-0 lead going into the first intermission.

     

    Going into the second period the Blues looked to maintain their two goal lead over the Bruins, and they would play with a layered defense to clog up the neutral zone against the Bruins which would work for the most part as Jordan Binnington was able to see all shots that came his way when the Bruins would get into the Blues zone. The Blues would keep the Bruins off the board in the second period, and will need to continue their tough play and keep the play out of their zone for the final 20 minutes of this game.

     

    In the third period it would be very much the same as the second period as the Blues would continue playing their game against the Bruins, and while the Bruins would generate some solid chances, Binnington would stand tall and shut door on them. Then a little past the 11 minute mark Vladimir Tarasenko would work hard to get to the puck deep in the Bruins zone and would take a quick look before getting the puck and would feed Brayden Schenn in the slot who would one time it to make it a commanding 3-0 lead for the Blues. Then with less than five minutes left in the game David Perron would feed Zach Sanford in front of the net to seal the deal for the Blues and give them the 4-0 lead. However, with a little over two minutes left the Bruins would pull Tuukka Rask and Matt Grzelcyk would score to cut the Blues lead to three, but it would be too little too late as the Blues hold on for the 4-1 win to become the 2019 Stanley Cup Champions.

    Stanley Cup Final Game 6 – Boston Bruins v. St. Louis Blues

    Boston Bruins v. St. Louis Blues

    Game 6 – STL Leads 3-2

     

    Game Recap:

    Coming into Game 6 in St. Louis the Blues will look to close out the Stanley Cup Final at home with the decisive fourth victory, but the Boston Bruins are highly motivated to send the series back to Boston for Game 7  after the controversial ending to Game 5. In the first period to start the game both teams would trade chances, but then penalties would come into play as at first the Bruins would get a delay of game penalty when Sean Kuraly would accidently shoot the puck over the boards. The Blues would not be able to capitalize on the powerplay, and then would take not one, but two penalties themselves to give the Bruins a two man advantage that would see David Pastrnak feed Brad Marchand the one timer for the first goal of the game and give the Bruins the 1-0 lead.

     

    In the second period the Blues would come out with a bit more step in their game, and would draw two penalties against the Bruins for two powerplays that saw them control the tempo very well. However, the Blues would not be able to capitalize on either opportunity, but they would continue their strong play. The Bruins would be able to hold off the Blues off of the hard work of Tuukka Rask and take their 1-0 lead into the second intermission.

     

    Going into the third period the Bruins would grow their lead to two when Brandon Carlo would get off a point shot that would take a rough bounce off the ice and squeak past Jordan Binnington to make it 2-0 for the Bruins early in the third. Then in the midway point of the third, Karson Kuhlman would rip a wicked wrist shot past Binnington to make it 3-0 for the Bruins as they would really push this game out of reach for the Blues. However, the Blues would respond off of an offensive zone faceoff when Ryan O’Reilly would get the rebound in front of the net and we would think Rask would make the save, but Toronto would call down to say that the puck went into the net and the Blues get back into this game as O’Reilly would be credited with his seventh of the playoffs and cut the Bruins lead to two. But the Bruins would not relent as Sean Kuraly would force a turnover behind the Blues net as he would get the puck to Brad Marchand who would feed David Pastrnak the puck would then make his move and get the puck over Binnington to regain the three goal lead, and then to seal the deal Zdeno Chara would lob the puck over into the Blues net to make it 5-1 to seal the Bruins Game 6 victory and force Game 7 on Wednesday night.

  • Stanley Cup Final Game 5 – St. Louis Blues v. Boston Bruins

    Stanley Cup Final Game 5 – St. Louis Blues v. Boston Bruins

    St. Louis Blues v. Boston Bruins

    Game 5 – Series Tied 2-2

     

    Game Recap:

    Coming into Game 5 would be the question as to whether or not Zdeno Chara would suit up for the Boston Bruins after taking a puck to the jaw in Game 4 that would force him to miss the second half of the second period and entire third period. For the Bruins they would get Big Z for an important Game 5 against the visiting St. Louis Blues and he would play 5:55 in the first period. The Bruins would play off of that buzz of having Chara in the lineup and would outshoot the Blues 17-8 in the first, but would not get anything past Jordan Binnington who would stand tall in net.

     

    Heading into the second period the Blues would only need 55 seconds as Ryan O’Reilly would backhand a shot past Tuukka Rask to give the Blues the first lead of the game off of an amazing offesive zone rush by Blues to make the goal happen. The Blues would come close near the end of the period to extend their lead, but it would be David Krejci sliding through the crease to prevent Alex Pietrangelo from doing so.

     

    In the third period we would see the momentum rock back and forth between the two teams, but midway through the period the Blues would strike after a controversial play that would see Tyler Bozak trip Noel Acciari (sorry Aryan, it was a trip), but because the officials did not call it and play continued which would lead to David Perron scoring to make it 2-0 for the Blues. However, an irate Bruins team would respond during a delayed penalty against the Blues when Jake DeBrusk would score to cut the deficit back to one. The Bruins would force a late push, but the Blues would hold their ground and win the game 2-1 and take the 3-2 series lead going into Game 6 on Sunday night.
