The Blue Jacket-Lightning series without a doubt is one of the most ground-shaking playoff upsets in recent memory. There have been numerous upsets with the top seeds getting knocked out by eighth seeds beforehand. A team with a record-tying number of wins during the season getting SWEPT 4 straight by another team which had never won a playoff series round before then and then only made the playoffs a small handful of times. For me as a Blue Jackets fan this is the best memory I can remember.
One of the best Stanley Cup Finals I've ever seen. I was so happy for the Blues and especially for Binnington who came out of nowhere midway through the season and outdueled the best to win it.
As a Sharks fan, we were so hopeful. Can’t say I didn’t enjoy watching him glide up the ice in Teal. Was great having him as an All Star at our home rink. Shoulda one the cup that year. St Louis played dirty & knocked 6 of our players outta the lineup. Will always have that game 7 against Vegas though. Oh what a night!!!
Obligatory since we're at this season We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them. We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you’re feeling - we get it. This isn’t the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way.
The worst part about the Karlsson trade is that it prevented the Sharks from icing the line with the best name in hockey. The "My Balls Hurt" line (Timo Meier, Rudolfs Balcers, Tomas Hertl)
Actually, Balcers came BACK to the Sharks later while Timo & Hertl were still on the team. They actually might have even played on a line together too.
@Ecliptonian same! The city was electric during the whole run, but especially after the Dallas series, Gloria in all its Glory, the parade, man what a ride that was! I got no work done that playoff run, I was working nights at the time, and I was just so locked in lol
The one thing that was overlooked slightly is that instead of selling off Bread and Bob at the deadline while floating around the playoff line because they are going to walk once FA hits, Jarmo had the balls and brought in the weapons to push for a spot. After a rocky start after the deadline, the team rallied for a WC and Torts pregame speech pushed them for that series win. That team was the best shot for a deep playoff run, but got Rask had other plans.
I remember being so happy to see EK65, one of my favorites players coming into my favorite team. Sad it was the last chance for the Sharks in playoffs. And man this match 7 against the Golden Cheaters, still one of my favorite moment. Still got Barclaaaaaaaaay Goodrooooooooooow call in my head (on a Karlsson asssist) :p
2019 was the year I discovered this channel! (And rediscovered my love of playoff hockey) These playoffs were absolute chaos and I found my internet people to discuss with. Been a daily viewer ever since!!
This cup win completely satisfied me as a blues fan. I’m a hockey fan first I guess, just absolutely love my blues. But I haven’t been emotionally invested since. I feel so content because winning the cup is so unbelievably difficult. You need everything to go right, and then luck on top. I hope every fan base gets to experience that elation. After so many years of playoff disappointment, I couldn’t believe it the whole way there. I didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until Schenn scored to make it 3-0 in game 7.
What a year - basically any Blues fan who says they knew the team was winning the whole way either didn’t watch them until January or is lying. Now the one I will give credit to is my ticket rep at the time (even then, he was just doing his job). The first 4 months of the season the fans were out for blood, and he and the other ticket reps had to try to handle ticket renewals. He sent out an email in January basically laying out how they really weren’t that far out at this point, they only needed this record to get back into the race, etc. I wish I had kept it just to give the guy his kudos. He kept the faith while the fanbase wanted to sell everything and fire everyone.
Watched from preseason that year, and not a liar... Because the first half of the season was such a train wreck, I was buying pretty cheap resale tickets December on. Early Feb. I had a friend ask me why I kept going to games when the blues "didn't have a chance," and I told them that there's always a chance until there isn't. After we made the playoffs, I ran into a co-worker at the blues sharks playoffs game. He said they'd lose out this works and San Jose would move on. I told him not only were the blues going to win this series but that they're going to go all the way. LGB!!!!!
I got married on Nov 30 2018. Blues were near the bottom of the league. One of my groomsman said to me and my new wife. “Hack got married, Blues are winning the Cup this year!” We all laughed, but the bastard was right!
I think St. Louis was only in last place for one day, and even then, it was excusable. The reason was because they had played several fewer games than any other team in the league at the time.
The playoffs that year were such a wild ride.. the crazy Game 7 double OT victory against Dallas, the infamous Hand Pass from the Sharks leading to the Blues sweeping the rest of the series, and of course the Blues couldn't take the Stanley Cup at home, it just HAD to go to the game 7 in Boston. Play Gloria! LGB!!!
All I have to say is that in my playoff bracket I had CBJ beating TBL and I had the finals as STL vs BOS, but with BOS winning. The best bracket I will ever have no way I ever top it again.
As a lightning fan this year was obviously very disappointing and memorable. But it was needed. They needed a play style that was more physical and consistent
Even though my Sharks got knocked out in the Western Conference Finals this was the best Stanley Cup Playoffs of all time for me with so many upsets!!!!
Easily the best, most entertaining NHL playoffs I've ever watched. It had it all: -sweeps (Tampa.. need I say more?, NYI dismantling PIT) -major controversy (Vegas' G7 5min major, SJ's hand pass OT winner in STL, Acciari being tripped in Game 5 of the SCF, Kucherov suspended for losing his cool in round 1) -minor controversy (CAR post game celebration, Cherry's "bunch of jerks" comment, Nelson tapping CAR's goalie after scoring) -memes (Panarin's handshake w/ Kucherov, the award show, the notorious Tampa Game 4 twitter post) -Game 7 galore (CAR/WSH was chaos, STL/DAL was amazing, SJ/VGK is infamous). -Witnessed a team shed their 50 year cup demons in a game 7 cup final. All this before helmet/jersey advertisements, dasher board TV advertisements, shitty ESPN-NHL contracts, and the world was slightly more sane. I miss that year.
Actually, it was 52 years rather than 50. And I was there for all of them! Other than that minor error, your post is absolutely spot on. It really was an interesting playoff season. A church near my brother’s house in South St. Louis County displayed the following on their roadside message board: “God Sees All…Including Hand Passes. Let’s Go Blues”
Do you remember the shot (was it from Marchand?) that hit Binnington's jersey in the armpit area... it was only the jersey that stopped the puck, if not for loose cloth it would have gone in the net.
As a Habs fan, I was super salty of Columbus and Carolina popping us for that last playoff spot. But Columbus gave us endless memes vs Tampa for a year.
Another unique thing with the Playoffs was that the Division winners all lost in the first round. All in a different number of games too: Tampa in 4, Calgary in 5, Nashville in 6, and Washington in 7.
I remember alot of experts had the Leafs as Cup favourites and the Islanders as bottom dwellers this year, funny how that worked out. I remember worrying about the Tavares signing because of the cap hit, hated that I was right.
i forgot about that season. habs 96 points not enough for the playoffs but would be 6th seed in the west. they got their revenge in 2021 by winning the Campbell trophy for the best team in the West in the playoffs
Guys, it’s my fault that the Blues won. During the Final every time I was able to watch a game on TV Boston won, but every time I had to be at work St Louis won. When game 7 rolled around I thought about calling in sick to watch the game, but superstition told me that if I did Boston would win. So I went to work, and my Blues won their first Stanley Cup. Kinda wish I could have seen it, but the hockey gods had other plans.
O'Reilly was consistent throughout the playoffs, whereas Binnington had some bad games, thus probably the biggest reason for the choice of O'Reilly for the Conn Smythe trophy.
Having watched the Blues for well over 20 years at that point, the Blues wouldn’t have won without 50 and 90. Had the Blues been able to start the season as I suspect they wanted, with Husso and Allen (instead of picking up Chad) they wouldn’t have dug themselves as big of a hole, and would’ve probably made the playoffs. But they wouldn’t have gotten past the first round. Husso always gets injured and Allen’s biggest issue was between his ears. He’d get shelled one night and then be unplayable for a month. Binner would get shelled one game and then be unbeatable the next. Now if they just had Binner, they would have made the finals, but lost in less than 7, because the non ROR offense dried up. ROR was hurt for parts of the first 3 rounds, so he was fine defensively, but didn’t contribute much offense. It was a different hero (often Schwartz) the other nights. Then, for the finals, ROR flipped a switch. I think ultimately, ROR got the Conn Smythe because the hockey writers don’t like giving it to goalies and only watch the Blues when they absolutely have no other choice. So for the first 3 rounds, they just looked at stats and clips. That’s not enough to actually capture how important Binner was for the Blues to win. Once they actually watched them, ROR was legitimately the best player out there for most of the final.
@@woodsie22 Good summary, Woodsie. If I had a vote, it would have been Binnington, Schwartz, and O’Reilly in that order. But the Conn Smythe has evolved to “Most Valuable Player in the FINALS” rather than the entire playoffs. If truly for the entire playoffs, Schwartz > O’Reilly. But for me, I would have given it to Binner, who spectacularly saved the Blues bacon in the first period of Game 7 against Boston.
i always remember reading article where the journalist argued that Giroux is not good superstar because he hadnt have 100 point season and 30 goal season, now he has them and before reading article he had 93 point and 28 goal season😡
It had never happened before (nr will ever again) in any of the major sports that a team was in last place after the midpoint of the season and came back to win it all. Shannon likes to downplay it, but it was a comeback of unprecedented proportion.
So why did you skip Colorado beating Calgary in the first round? You might recall there was this little event where a certain prospect named Cale Makar scored his first NHL goal in his first NHL game in that series.
As a VGK Fan I still had a Good year Sharks Haunted me like the Bruins did In game 7 my other Favorite teams Habs so close to playoffs but Oilers another rough year but Congrats to the Blues on winning that Stanley Cup
Yes, as a Tampa fan it's embarrassing and Tampa sports fans are used to our teams being embarrassments and clowns... but we love them anyway, screw the haters.
This was the beginning of the Metropolitan division becoming completely irrelevant. They havent even had a team reach the final (much less win) since 2018. 6 years of nothing.
Columbus upsets Tampa after acquiring several pieces at the TDL. NONE of whom stayed after the Boston RD-2 defeat, Bobrovski left with them, and after a few middling years…nrrraaaooowww boom here they are in familiar basement territory. Tampa learned from that sweep, especially how to finangle the cap. 🥴
The year of Gloria… you’re always on the run now. It was also the time where dignity dies after winning 62 games in the regular season by not winning a single playoff game. 😂😂😂
The Stars blew that second round series against Blues. Up 3-2 going home for Game 6. All of a sudden, they can't beat the freakin' Blues in the postseason. Smh
This was the season that got me truly excited about hockey again. MacKinnon was so damn good and Mikko was the secret weapon. Decimating the #1 seed Flames was a highlight for sure. And that series against San Jose was so close. A good season to relive, except for the Blues winning the Cup. 🤮
Five years later, I'm STILL pissed about that non-call in game five of the SCF (and then the complete lack of effort from Boston in game 7). Tuukka deserved better.
