What a game!! Blues counter punched the hell out of em' and Binnington was fire!! Didn't stick around to see it, but he must of got the MVP? Anyway, congrats to the Blues!! Anyone but Boston, am I right! :uh-huh: :raspberry: :snicker:
4 Caps:
O’Reilly ended up winning the Con Smythe trophy but there is no way Blues would have won that game if Binnington hadn’t stood on his head in the first period. Boston dominated that period and would have had 3 or 4 goals had it not been for Binnington.

That is bullshit it went to OReilly. Yeah he had a good playoffs and got his name in the record books, but there is little to no way they’d of made it past any of the four rounds without Binnington playing on a historic level on a routine basis as a rookie.

Indeed! I don't follow closely enough to know, but how often does the losing team have the Con Smythe winner?? Cause w/o Binnington, they lose, period!

Singin’ the praises with ya, Mick!
So glad to see Marchand and the boys go down.
Have to give Bruins some credit, as they were firing on all cylinders, in that 1st P especially!!
Binnington simply put himself in the zone, gave it his all, stepped up like a true champion, and was thusly rewarded with being distinguished as “the one”, who’s play contributed MOST, (all of course, contributed), to serving up the FIRST Stanley Cup, in the history of the Blues franchise!!! We, as Caps fans, know EXACTLY how it feels!!
The Con Smythe, notwithstanding, (nothing against O’Reilly), but every Blues player, Coach, fan, and for that matter, anyone who saw the game, knows inside, that Binnington was the major problem, that Boston couldn’t solve, PERIOD! And Boston did not lay down, either! The Blues team had the greater desire!
By the way, CONGRATULATIONS BEAGS!! I know this one had special meaning for you!!
Have to be happy for Berube too!!
