That only works when you have a fleet of Klingons ready to decloak and flank the Bruins. I'm not sure there are any fictional species on the Blues roster.

A logistical issue w Metro is that because of downtown tunnels/stations they cannot add extra cars, 2 is the max, so it can take forever to get your ride back. If you’re hanging around downtown for some post games festivities then it should be less of a problem. Last train is midnightish unless they are operating on a special schedule.
That's exactly the type of information that I was looking for, luke. Thanks.

I figured getting downtown mid-afternoon shouldn't be bad? Getting back out to our hotel by North Hanley after the game(s) is my concern. I'm not concerned about safety.
Normally people stream out of the stadium immediately after the game (obviously) and head for the train. May be different Sat night with so much Stanley Cup related stuff going on downtown.

Last train from Busch is at 12:12am.

The St. Louis Blues are slight 53.1 percent favorites over the Boston Bruins. The Blues are favored by AccuScore simulations partly because they have a +0 edge in shots on goal and are projected for 33 shots on goal vs 33 shots for the Bruins. The Blues goalie(s) have the edge in save percentage at 90.2% compared to the Bruins goalie(s) who have a forecasted save percentage of 89.8%. KEY PLAYER STATISTICAL DATA --- SAVES: Tuukka Rask 30, Jordan Binnington 30 SHOTS: Patrice Bergeron 3.5, Vladimir Tarasenko 3.7 GOALS: David Pastrnak 0.47, Vladimir Tarasenko 0.48 PTS: Brad Marchand has a 59% chance of scoring at least 1 point and Ryan O\'Reilly has a 49% chance of 1+PTs

Not sure what to feel tonight. Can't wait. Luckily, I have a thousand things to do and will be cleaning and doing chores and projects while listening to the game. (my normal routine when I can catch a game) Hopefully staying busy will ease the stress. I thought about trying to cram into an area bar to watch it, but I'm exhausted and the projects are piling up after watching and attending games, and sometimes its nice to just stay home, especially since I'll be at game 4! (No eating for the rest of the Summer for me)

With Bruins & Cubs in town, we need to make the bears species extinct at St. Louis, except for the zoo.

What about that bear that got into the Catholic school in Eureka last week?
