Although they don't face each other frequently, the Blues and Bruins share a remarkable rivalry, rooted in their Finals encounters, with Boston potentially having the last laugh this time.
As the Sunday afternoon game in St. Louis approaches, both teams find themselves in contrasting positions within their conferences. A powerful performance by the Bruins today could "unofficially" mark the end of the Blues' season.
Matt Porter of The Boston Globe subsequently reported that this possibility has certainly been a topic of conversation among the Bruins players, particularly those who were part of the 2018 team that lost the Stanley Cup Final in seven games.
Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, David Krejci, David Pastrnak, Jake Debrusk, Charlie McAvoy, Connor Clifton, Matthew Grzelcyk, Brandon Carlo, Trent Frederic, and Charlie Coyle. Jakub Zboril and Chris Wagner were also on the roster.
