The Boston Bruins Bust Out The Big Gun
Of course everyone is gonna be talking about the NBA finals today but that game ended like a big wet fart and I wanna talk Hockey cuz it rules.
Gotta say, it must be cathartic as hell for St. Louis. Not only do they shake off the big drought and finally win the cup, they do it after entering 2019 in dead last place. They do it in game 7, against Boston. They defeated Boston a few months after the Rams, the team that scorned them, lost to Boston in the Super Bowl. That has got to feel good. Really happy for the Blues.
I thought they had jinxed themselves too after accidentally running the “CONGRATS BLUES” advertisements in the paper after they lost game 6. That’s classic jinx shit right there. It was begging to end up on freezing cold takes. But they did it! In absolutely commanding fashion, too. Boston only scored one goal and it was basically garbage time at that point. The Blues can finally hold their heads up high. Outside the Patriots, it has already been a stupendous year for new teams winning championships. I love that. Teams celebrating their first ever championship is a wonderful thing to witness.
Boston has won a championship in one of the 4 big sports 11 different years since the Patriots first win in 2001. That’s frankly absurd. The Bruins are easily the most likeable of that bunch, but mostly because they are the least successful overall. The Patriots are scum, the Red Sox are scum, and the Celtics, despite just one championship this millennium, are still somehow in the running for just as scum. I honestly had nothing against the Bruins. I like their uniforms. But I will always root against Boston and I will always, always, support the ring-less underdog.
I would actually greatly enjoy watching Tom Brady get smashed into the glass.
Good job Blues. Also good for you, Raptors. Just a good week for sports. Now I’m stuck back in hell. How are the Orioles doing?
oh
oooooh
oh god
Could be worse.
The baseball could have Joe Buck’s voice.
Why would you say that? Kids could be reading this?
As a Warriors fan, it hurt (not as much as half the Warriors roster, though). Allowing injuries to end everything (hell, how did the Warriors get into the finals in the first place with all that?). Props to Toronto for doing what needed to be done to get the title. If the Warriors’ era comes to an end, I do feel comfort in knowing there was one. I get all the hate, so all those laughing at the Warriors, I get it. Waiting for the Pats’ era to end, I definitely get it.
Warriors fan here. This didn’t hurt as much as half the Warriors roster.
“You’re not gonna pull that injury excuse, are you?”
Yes, I’m going the injury route, but not as an excuse. As a condemnation. You see, when it comes to a team being that injury prone, it becomes less “oh, you were lucky”, and more “what is it THIS time?”. Breathe on them wrong, and they done for the night. No, lucky would’ve been if the Warriors got through a game without someone writhing in agony. If the Warriors’ era comes to close, this would be why. But, I enjoyed it while it lasted.
Welcome to the Giants of 2015-2018. IIRC we led the league in injuries for 2 of those 4 seasons.
Honestly most team’s windows close due to injury before they ever manage to win the title, so in a lot of respects you guys had a miracle run and have nothing to be particularly sad about outside that this was the end. You get to treasure this forever.
maybe this is niave, but why is everyone saying this is it for the warrios?* why can’t they just win it all again net year?
*not a typo
Klay, Draymond, and KD all need to get paid. At least one of them is going to leave. Highly possible two of them are gone. KD seems like the obvious exit, and I think most people assume Klay is the other one.
The Warriors will soon be the Steph Curry show and only Steph Curry show. They will still be good, but the years of the death lineup dynasty are probably done.
even if they do keep klay and kd, big chance that neither of them play a game next year with their injuries
It shows how difficult it is to forge a dynasty. 1998 Bulls had some signs with Pippen missing nearly half the season and Rodman having some issues as usual.
Fuck the Rams. They have nothing to do with St. Louis anymore.
Fuck Stan Kronke and Fuck all the other owners that voted that his report calling St. Louis a Shit City was correct.
Whoops, misread that. “Fuck the Rams”/”Fuck Kroenke” is pretty standard knee-jerk reaction for me.
He’s managed to fuck over teams in two countries, even… ask Arsenal fans how they feel about Kroenke

I can’t tell if you tried to spell my name phonetically because my name is plastered all over the comic and you still got it wrong
Honestly I prefer this spelling. It’s like your name had a baby with Pinocchio.
Hey man, we’ve got the women’s world cup, the wnba, CFL just got started, heck there’s NPF stuff even though that league is weird as hell – a canadian team based out of Illinois?; it’s a good summer for sports if you wanna try something new. I’ve got WNBA league pass and I’m loving it right now.
“that game ended like a big wet fart”
I dunno, the Warriors puling a Chris Webber followed by Kawhi Leonard getting an and-1 at the buzzer to rub more salt on the Warriors’ wound was pretty hilarious.
Orioles?
Oh, you dear lost soul.
May I speak with you about Our Lord and Saviour Jeff Luhnow, and the Gospels according to Springer, Altuve, Correa and Bregman?
Time for Canadian Football!
I think this was the first time St. Louis had gotten the best of Boston since the Cardinals won the 1967 World Series over the Red Sox. All of the two cities’ most recent meetings in sports championships had gone Boston’s way until this one, Red Sox over Cardinals, Pats over Rams, and even the seemingly prehistoric basketball matchup of Celtics over Hawks.
let’s be fair, here; a lot of people would greatly enjoy watching Tom Brady get smashed into the glass…
well of COURSE I’m one of them!
With another “Legacy of Failure” destroyed, do you think the Sharks will be next to go?

You’re more than welcome to jump on the Twins bandwagon. Although, considering the way bandwagoning Minnesota teams has worked for you in the past, maybe not…
Jeremy Jacobs owned the Bruins for a very long time, is chair of NHL BoG, is ridiculously hard-line anti-player, single-handedly caused the 2012 lockout, and is basically one rub-and-tug away from being a more evil Robert Kraft.
I’ve hated the Bruins as long as I’ve been sentient.
It’s been hard being an O’s fan the past couple of years. I only recognize Bundy, Mancini, and Davis (ugh!).
Gleyber Torres loves the Orioles.
You could always watch the Women’s World Cup.
Could be a Mariners fan like me.
