Boston’s pp fired at a 26 percent clip in the regular season. St. Louis took 38 mins in penalties in game one, resulting in 12 Boston power plays. The Bruins then converted 33 percent of those opportunities resulting in 4 goals in a 8-1 thrashing. The Blues can’t afford to have this happen again. Bruins defenseman Scott Stevens and Phil Housley combined for 9 points! The Blues come out motivated in game two. They get 4 different goal scorers in the first period, leading to a 4-0 score. St. Louis manages to stay out of the box for the most part, and Clint Malarchuk had to stop just 11 Boston shots. St. Louis wins 6-0! Denis Savard has 4 points in the win.


Phil Housley is looking great along side Scott Stevens on the Boston blueline!

Chris Kontos scores first for Boston in game three, but the Blues respond. After Adam Oates tied it, Kelly Kisio gives them the lead right before the end of the period. John Ogrodnick makes it 3-1 in the 2nd, and Stan Smyl’s 14th makes it 4-1. Boston would score two quick goals in the third, but the lead proved to be too much, and the Blues two empty net goals concluded the scoring. 6-3 St. Louis. Game four is all St. Louis. It’s 3-1 after a period, with St. Louis scoring another goal in the final seconds of the first. Those goals are backbreakers! It’s 4-1 again after two, but the Bruins have nothing left in the third. When the Blues stay out of the box, they have dominated. 7-1 St. Louis!


If the Blues can win the title, Smyl might be the Conn Smythe winner!

In game five, Boston scores on the PP in the first, Pekka Peltola’s 8th. They score another PPG in the 2nd. St. Louis comes back and scores three straight to take a third period lead. The Blues then start taking more penalties. Neal Broten and Pekka Peltola each score their 2nd of the game on the PP giving Boston the lead back. All in all, Boston goes 4/8 on the PP in a 6-3 win. Stay out of that box St. Louis!! If I told u their weren’t many PP’s in game 6, who would say won? St. Louis leads 2-0 after a period on goals from Stan Smyl and Denis Savard. Savard’s 2nd of the game makes it 3-0 after two. Neal Broten gets the Bruins on the board, but that goal doesn’t come until the 16 minute mark of the third period. St. Louis takes just 4 penalties, which is their key! Blues win 3-1, to capture the Stanley Cup!!
