What do you know, the Blues are one win away from their first Cup final since 1970! :)
That they are...

Question is, will they get the job done, or choke on it? They are the Blues, after all

Let's hope they'll get the job done. If the Washington Capitals menaged to get the Cup last year, why not the Blues? And who knows, after St. Louis, Buffalo and Vancouver might have their turn as well.

I'm not really a fan of any team, but I'm cheering for the Blues. If Boston wins they'll have the Red Sox, Patriots, and Bruins all winning in the same 2018-19 season.

And that's a bad thing?  It's been over 100 days since the last championship parade.  Bostonians are getting antsy.

If that could cheer you up, Knicks fans still wait for a first championship since 1973 and Leafs fan since 1967.

Down Goes Brown had an interesting tweet about determining the "last-place" playoff team and he theorizes that it's the team that loses to a team that then loses to a team that loses to a team that loses in the Stanley Cup Finals. (That is: The "last-place" team loses in the first round. The team to which they lose then loses in the second round. The team that wins that second-round series loses in turn in the conference finals, and the team that wins the conference finals then loses in the Stanley Cup Finals.)

This year, those two teams could be Pittsburgh (lost to NYI, who lost to CAR, who lost to BOS) and Calgary (lost to COL, who lost to SJS, who lost to STL).

Let's Go Blues. :bigass:

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Before last night, the Blues had lost 13 Cup Final games in a row, and they were swept in all three of their previous appearances (by the Canadiens in 1968 and 1969, and the Bruins in 1970).

There's one article who talk about Boston championship drought...  https://www.nbcsports.com/video/stanley-cup-final-boston-fans-hope-bruins-end-113-day-championship-drought

No offense to Boston, but some others teams desserve to end their own drought. https://www.thedelite.com/longest-sports-championship-droughts-of-all-time/ 
And besides, let's take a look to Cleveland who celebrated a well desserved championship when the Cavaliers won their 1st title in 2016 as shown in that video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwVg99Bat2s

Edit: A detail come to my mind, the New England Revolution didn't won a MLS Cup championship yet. Some called them the Buffalo Bills of the MLS.

:-(  I taked St. Louis side, they desserved a Stanley Cup championship after all these years, it's the last team of the 1967 expansion who didn't won the cup yet followed by the Buffalo Sabres and the Vancouver Canucks who arrived in the NHL in 1970. Then, the San Jose Sharks, current Ottawa Senators, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators, Minnesota Wild, Winnipeg Jets (current incarnation), Arizona/Phoenix Coyotes, Vegas Golden Knights. (The Flames who beginned in 1972 in Atlanta and moved to Calgary in 1980 won in 1989. Kansas City Scouts moved to became the Colorado Rockies and finally the New Jersey Devils, the California/Oakland Seals became the Cleveland Barons and was amalgated with the North Stars in 1978 and moved later to Dallas who won it in 1999).

Edit: Come to think of it, maybe we should ask the Canadian rapper Drake to wear a Boston Bruins jacket. Some said the Leafs lost because Drake weared a Maple Leafs jacket.
https://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/did-the-infamous-drake-curse-strike-the-toronto-maple-leafs-1.4386984

QuoteDrake was present when Conor McGregor lost his title to Khabib Nurmagomedov last year, and at the 2015 U.S. Open that saw Serena Williams lose to Roberta Vinci — not to mention his attendance at many of the Toronto Raptors' more embarrassing playoff defeats... three years straight against Cleveland.

His reputation has become a byword on social media: the so-called "˜Drake curse,' which is so well known that the Italian soccer club AS Roma has banned its players from taking photos with the rapper.

There was other stories who involved Drake in others sports.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/9205507/drake-curse-victims-anthony-joshua/

But others blamed Sixers Mike Scott with a jinx or curse of his own.

The series will go to seven games.  If Boston wins, the obligatory ego fest - excuse me - victory parade will actually be held on a weekend for once.  If Boston loses, we won't have to deal with the nonsense of having a parade at all.

If so, make sure the refs from last night get a spot on one of the parade floats.

I hope not,  I'd like to see a victory parade near the Gateway Arch and going on Market and Broadway Streets. :)
