STANLEY CUP FINAL GAME 6 – BRUINS-BLUES – SUNDAY AT 8 P.M. ET ON NBC
With a 2-1 Game 5 victory over the Boston Bruins last night, the St. Louis Blues are now one win away from the first Stanley Cup in franchise history, and can win it on home ice on Sunday. Goalie Jordan Binnington made 38 saves in last night’s win and set an NHL record for most road wins by a rookie goalie (nine) in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and tied the record for most wins by a rookie goalie in a single postseason (15). Offseason acquisition Ryan O’Reilly scored his third goal in the past two games, and had an assist on David Perron’s goal in the third period.
The Blues took a 2-0 lead on Perron’s eventual game-winning goal midway through the third period, which was scored shortly after a controversial no-call on a trip by Blues forward Tyler Bozak on Bruins forward Noel Acciari. Bruins captain Zdeno Chara played 16:42 with a facial injury that required the defenseman to wear a plastic jaw protector attached to his helmet. He was injured blocking a shot in the second period of Game 4.
Notes & Quotes from Game 5:
Milbury on no-call: “Acciari gets tripped right here by Bozak. You can see the official has a clear view of it, a crystal-clear view. Look at him. There is nothing to impede his view of the trip, and he does have a clean trip. This is what he saw, no call, and seconds after that the puck is in the back of the Boston net. This is a disaster causing Cam Neely to act like this. I don’t blame him. You work all year long to eliminate 29 teams to get yourself in a position to be two out of three in the Stanley Cup Final and an official blows a call as badly as that was blown. That’s just unforgivable and I don’t know where Kelly Sutherland lines up again but it shouldn’t be refereeing another Stanley Cup Final game.”
Olczyk on no-call: “Calls made and calls not made are not only altering for that specific game, but they can be history-altering.”
Emrick on no-call: “It is a game governed by judgment calls, and when you see what we see on replay, it’s mystifying.”
Jones on O’Reilly: “He scored the goal, but he has influenced the game in so many different ways…he’s got the A-game going, it was demonstrated clearly in the previous game, and he’s continued to get to the net here using his great hockey sense to create chances and bury a goal here.”
Milbury on Binnington: “Binnington was just right on it, right on top of it the entire game. And when he wasn’t right on top of it, he got a little bit lucky… Now it’s up to the Blues to get their game back. Dump it out, dump it in, you can see semblances of it. They need to show more of it.”
Milbury on Binnington: “Jordan Binnington was simply outstanding, by far the best he’s played. The Blues just wanted to survive this period from my estimation. They knew there was going to be a big push by the Boston Bruins, the emotional start to this game, and then they threw some great opportunities at them.”
Tirico on the series: “There’s no momentum in this series and I think that’s ratcheted up. Now we have a best two out of three, no momentum, big question about the biggest – literally and figuratively – player for Boston, the team with the two games at home. This is so fascinating. This is what makes a great series, these pivot points here.”
Roenick on the Blues and head coach Craig Berube: “It’s one of the most remarkable turnarounds we’ve ever seen in sports.”
