NHL 19 Stanley Cup Finals Simulation: Game 7 Predictions For Blues vs. Bruins
When it comes down to it, a championship series Game 7 is the moment that sports fans live for. That’s what’s on tap for tonight’s NHL Stanley Cup Finals as the Boston Bruins host the St. Louis Blues in a classic. The two teams have gone the distance, tied at 3-3 in the series. Now it’s all on the line as they’ll hit the ice to decide who hoists the championship trophy. We’ve run an NHL 19 Stanley Cup Finals simulation to see how it might go down.
NHL 19 Stanley Cup Finals Simulation of Blues vs. Bruins Game 7
We head into Game 7 of the NHL 19 Stanley Cup Finals simulation with the Bruins ahead 2-0. It’s down to the third period. That means it’s do or die time for the visiting Blues as time is quickly running out. Can St. Louis find a way to score against Boston’s defense?
The answer to that question is a resounding “No.” Boston goalie Tuukka Rask puts in impressive work to make save after save despite a number of Blues’ efforts to score during the period. St. Louis ends up pulling their own goalie with under a minute to go. That allows Boston to get the puck away down at the other end and ultimately put themselves ahead 3-0. It’s too much for the visitors to come back from.
As the buzzer sounds, the Bruins players rush onto the ice to celebrate as the fans go wild. Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand each scored and had an assist in the Game 7 win. Bergeron is the Conn Smythe winner for the series with four goals and five assists. We close the chapter on this NHL season as the Bruins celebrate with another Stanley Cup title in front of their home city fans!
