With all the crazy stupid bs happening in DC since January 2017, the Caps winning the Stanley Cup was a nice distraction for everyone here in DC.

Is it that much different than the crazy stupid BS that has been happening in DC for generations?

Blues and Bruins fighting for the cup. Bruins are original six, but they have won it all recently. And they have Marchand.

Blues are a scrappy underdog, but an expansion team. And they don't have Marchand.

Let's Go Blues!

Bruins look stronger but love To root for the underdog.

It’s hockey, anything can happen in 5 seconds.

Expansion team? Like back in the 60's? Last time in the cup finals was 1970.

Just comparing to original six.

I have been out of town and away from the digital world for a week. Got to watch part of game 3 in a dive bar in Dillon, MT.

Go Blues!

If the bruins bring that game again, it’s another Bruin cup,Wednesday.

That was painful. Blues seem to play their best away from home after being beat down. We all bleed blue, doesn't turn red until it reacts to oxygen. This is a much bigger deal to us than another world series.

Agreed. Blues looked good in the first, then the Bruins took over. It seems to be areal back and forth with each team falling flat every other game.

Can't wait for game seven! This is gonna be good.

Congratulations to the Bruins for winning the StanleySaucer.

Now I get to go around Boston gloating that they won’t win any sports trophies this year, and then go Area 51 on the Super Bowl.

I tend to agree, the season is way too long. And I love to watch hockey.

Regular season is 82 games, should be 60. Not sure about changing playoffs to best of five games instead of seven. But something needs to change if they want to keep viewers late in the season.

Not sure where you live, but winter was far from over three months ago. We had snow on the ground at the end of April, not even two months ago.

Gonna be 87 today. Not hockey weather.

Congrats to the Blues for your cup win. That was fun to watch.
