In game 5-7 of the playoffs the Blues are 6-1.

Wow, I hadn’t come to that realization yet. Shows how well the Blues have been able to make adjustments. Most of these wins have been blowouts too.

The NBC post game noted it. Game of attrition. Blues winning with depth and the physical play.

Also I could not have been more wrong about who to replace Sunny with in Game 3. Sanford has been one of the best Blues forwards in the two games he played.

Dude played great last night.

Without looking at ice time, seems like he got a lot more time on the ice than game 3. Seems like Blais lost a little bit of time.

bandwagon question here, is it customary for the winning team to all line up to goalie and individually give him props as post game celebration routine? like how baseballer's always do the 2 lines of slapping hands, etc. i thought i saw the blues doing that in highlights is why i ask and thought "aww well that's nice"

Yep. After every win they go that.

That’s part of it. Plus there’s the simple math that any team that has made it this far in the playoffs is going to have a lot of game 6 and 7 wins (if their rounds went that far). You are going to have at least 3 clinching games, plus likely a couple other wins unless you built 3-1 series leads.

The Bruins, FWIW, are 4-1 in games 5-7 so far. They also hadn’t suffered a >1 goal loss in 18 games until last night (game 1 of the first round until game 4 of the SCF). That’s pretty incredible.
