Stanley Cup Final Assembly Of Numerous Captivating Components

With the Stanley Cup Final due to begin Monday, May 27, 2019 both the Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues hope to give this NHL season the finale it deserves. Nearly all teams’ stories leading up to the Stanley Cup Final often stand as ones saturated with ingredients exclusive to that specific team. Conference champions Boston and St. Louis stand as no outlier to this concept. With intriguing elements tied to each team, each club’s path contains inspiring and unique factors, both increasingly vital to their organization’s success.

During this year’s run the Blues truly showed their respective franchises what heart and resiliency are all about. Nobody other than those within the St. Louis organization expected their Blues to one day take the ice in the Stanley Cup Final during the season’s early days, as the Blues owned the league’s worst record during January. After firing former head coach Mike Yeo and the emergence of Jordan Binnington, St. Louis experienced a sensational turnaround, eventually climbing into a third place spot in the the Central Division. Although St. Louis’s actions to improve the team appeared somewhat straight–forward, those within the organization’s ability to continue to play tough hockey amidst the season’s darkest days speaks to this team’s character and overall toughness. If St. Louis can continue their gritty run come Monday, they may indeed hear “Gloria” blast through their earphones, radios, and Amazon echoes four more times and hoist the Stanley Cup.

Lacing up their skates opposite the Blues stands the Bruins. Accepting somewhat of a villain role, as most Boston teams have amidst the city’s recent success across all major sports, Boston will look to silence the Blues and stop them from earning their first ever Stanley Cup. David Backes fills a revenge roll for Boston, as the former Blues captain will square off against a team he devoted ten years of his career to. Also with something to prove Boston’s goalie Tuukka Rash will look to defend well during the final, as the Boston goalie has fallen victim to scrutiny regarding his performance during clutch moments despite his excellence thus far during the post season. With no bigger stage than the Stanley Cup Final, look for Rash to change his perception amongst Boston writers.
