Whelp.... time for some laststandpontificating.

Sorry boys. bwaaaaaaaaa

As I see it after two games, and if I HAD to say how/what I see coming it's pretty dang close.

But I am afraid it's the Bruins who still hold the edge. Injuries go to Bruins, POTENTIAL scoring goes to Bruins and the experience factor will get bigger and bigger as the series continues. I expect to see Bostons best effort tonight and i hope the Blues can match it.

The Blues simply cannot afford any more game #1 type energy. I don't expect that even though there is still 5 games remaining, but they may have another stinker in them.

Secondly and more notably, I think this series will now be up to Jordan Binnington. It took OT to beat the Bruins after dominating them, but neither of their goals would have been scored on Binner if he is playing his best, as he did manage to do after the first period.

Love everything about this kid. It's been an unreal experience rooting for him as he has led this team from the box. Can't ask for more from him but I do know he is asking for more of himself for fact.

Get this series to 2-2. That's trick #1. If they get it to 2-2, I think the edge, the psychology, all of it, will be truly even. Binner will have to compensate for some of the advantages that go to Boston. Not afraid of that, but I think it's fact and in many ways it is totally appropriate to have the pressure and expectations go to the kid that has brung us here and stunned the world of hockey in the process.

It's been an unreal 5 months of hockey. 2 more weeks seems like an eternity.

Go Blue...Go Binner!!
